Alta Lodge

ed quickly and was very patient in answering my thousands of questions. We didn’t go to the lodge until our wedding weekend and hadn’t tried any of the food so we had faith that everything would live up to our expectations. We booked the lodge for the whole weekend and had access to it exclusively, we had a welcome dinner, the wedding and then a farewell brunch. When we got there, we were blown away by the view, it is absolutely beautiful and photos don’t do it justice! The food throughout the weekend was delicious and we got a ton of compliments about our choices. The day of the wedding, Misti and her team took over completely and set everything up, coordinated with the vendors, helped decorate, etc. They took care of everything so we could sit back and enjoy the day. Overall, it was a very low stress wedding weekend which was appreciated!! I have nothing but amazing things to say about Misti and her team. They were so friendly, helpful and the service was impeccable. We were very impressed with everyone there and how well they set up the wedding. If you are thinking about booking the lodge for your wedding, DO IT! It’s 1000% worth it! Thank you Alta lodge for everything!!!

all of our questions. Having the lodge exclusively for our guests the entire weekend, we were able to include additional wedding events: welcome dinner Friday night and Sunday Brunch. The logistics couldn’t have been easier and every single staff member was phenomenal and went above and beyond to make sure that both of us and all of guests were well taken care of the whole weekend. If you are looking for an incredible, stress free destination wedding weekend, we’d recommend Alta Lodge to anyone. There is no doubt for us that this was the perfect place to get married and we are so happy that we did!

nd employees, (they went above and beyond for us time and time again) but the thing that ultimately made the Alta Lodge the absolute no-brainer choice of a venue was the gift of time that being there provided us. By booking the whole Lodge for the weekend for us and our guests, we were given a luxurious amount of time with our loved ones, and we were given a luxurious amount of time back to us in the wedding planning process. Most non-Alta Lodge weddings we go to are a bit scattered: you go to the welcome event, then you probably don't see anyone again until the wedding, and then at the end of the reception you're ushered out and you go back to your hotel, or find a sober ride to the after party spot. Not at the Alta Lodge. At our wedding, people started checking in on Thursday and therefore we got to hang out with family and friends Thursday, all day Friday, all day Saturday, and a good chunk of Sunday. The events all being at the Lodge meant people could relax and not have to worry about transportation. At the end of the night, people could hang out in the Sitzmark Club (just upstairs) or hit the hot tubs. Everyone being at the Lodge for 3-4 days meant it felt a bit like a summer camp, and people from different family and friend groups got to mix and mingle more than I've ever seen at a wedding. It meant little inside jokes could start and by the end of the weekend everyone was involved. It meant people had time to let the beauty of Alta soak in and go on hikes, or just sit on the deck playing games. It meant real connections formed among people I never imagined would mix. For us, the bride and groom, having everyone and everything in one place relieved us of so much potential stress and logistics planning. I previously mentioned the typical guest experience of having to go from venue to venue - just think about the typical bride and groom experience of all that planning! The wedding planning process for me with the Alta Lodge felt fun and as stress-free as it could've been (this coming from an above average anxiety person), thanks to the coordinators at the Lodge. I mean, just the ability to wake up in our room on our wedding day, go down the hall to the bridal suite/upstairs to the groom suite, get ready with friends and family, and then walk down the rest of the hall to go to the ceremony was such a breeze and worth every penny. I cannot say enough how nice it was to be there and to get to have those extra moments of relaxation whenever we needed it. Truly, the gift of time with your people is something that is so special and I don't know if any other venues do it as well as the Alta Lodge. In all my research I had trouble finding another place where you can have all your friends and family together for a few days, relaxing and celebrating love, in a comfortable and picture-perfect lodge. Its simply the perfect place to have a wedding. I'd relive the weekend over and over if I could. People say "run don't walk" when talking about making sure you get the best things, but I think for the Alta Lodge it should be adjusted to "Sprint don't run!" because that's how incredible a wedding weekend at the Lodge is.
