Jackson Lake Lodge

ural Room for the reception. We are from Texas, so planning a destination wedding hundreds miles away can be nerve wrecking. We researched so many places in the Teton/Jackson area, but we were so happy with our choice. Emily D. (Wedding Planner at JLL) and staff made the process so easy. Emily was super responsive to emails/questions and worked great with our vendors. We felt very secure planning our wedding here thanks to her detailed responses even though we live far away and could not see everything in person. We wanted a cozy lodge vibe for our wedding with incredible views and that is exactly what we had!

m for our reception. We are from Texas, so we were quite nervous to plan a destination wedding in Wyoming. We did lots of research because spending money far away from home is never easy, but we could not have been happier with our choice. Emily Dominguez (Wedding Manager) & staff on the property were incredible. Emily was super responsive to emails, questions/concerns for wedding, and worked great with our vendors from the area. We felt secure that everything was going to go as planned. We wanted a wedding with a cozy lodge vibe & a beautiful view that's exactly what we had!

and we kept the setup quite simple to showcase the mountains. We were relieved to have a great weather plan to move into the lobby if there were to be bad weather. And the private dinner in the east mural room was great so we could still have a great view as the sunset. Plus, having the lunch tree hill to do couples photos was great. Phenomenal location and the staff was helpful to provide some alternative options for cocktail hour, etc since we did not opt for a traditional ballroom reception.

ith emails, calls, and forms and they were VERY understanding with some unfortunate COVID restrictions that caused a delay. Given how amazing the lodge was up to the day of, I thought things would run like a well oiled machine. The manager said she was willing to have wheeled transport arranged for some heavy personal effects (arch and game boards) to the ceremony site but once the time came, none of the staff even knew where the ceremony site was (????) and just left my elderly father on the side of the road to lug the heavy objects to the site in 90F heat. It says handicap accessible but they are playing fast and loose with that term as the wheelchair had to brought through the bar and many people had to move their chairs to let it through. When the photographer arrived and asked three different staff members for the Wyoming Room (Bride dressing room), none of them knew what he was talking about. Luckily the groom noticed a bewildered man with cameral equipment and pointed him in the right direction. The dressing room was spacious but didn’t have an adequate vanity/mirror and very poor lighting so trying to get make-up done was difficult…good thing I brought my own mirror but that didn’t help the low lighting situation. Dinner was late despite the tight timeline (made BY the lodge) so some guests had to leave before dessert to avoid nighttime driving (can be treacherous in the park). Despite the issues it was still a beautiful venue and the food was good…it just seemed like this was the first wedding they had every hosted. Maybe the staff is new or they are out of practice with COVID…IDK…but leaving and elderly man to lug heavy items in that heat (not even a luggage cart??) breaks my heart.
