Looking out over the golf course on a warm summer evening we were wed at The Resort at the Mountain. The combination of the location and the resort's staff helped to create the wedding of our dreams on August 7th 2010.
We knew that we wante...d a destination wedding, so we started looking for a location that could accommodate our 200+ guests, but also provide a personal and an intimate feel. After months of searching, we found the Resort to have all of these qualities, and the ability to support a three day action packed wedding weekend.
Becca, the Resorts Catering and Events Manager, is as good as it gets when it comes to planning and executing a wedding. Her calming personality and "make it happen" approach saved us from much stress and anxiety. Immediately, she provided us with some of The Resort's preferred vendors (many of whom we used) which helped us to get the ball rolling.
We brought our entire wedding party and immediate family to the Resort on Thursday (two days prior to the wedding) and utilized four Villas they have on site. Thursday and Friday we took advantage of the volleyball courts, mini golf course, fire pit, close proximity hiking trails (where the Resort surprised us with a picnic style lunch and kayaks), and spacious villas while being catered to with great food and drinks from the Resort.
The day of the wedding, we were thankful for the wide variety of photo opportunities all within walking distance of our villas. The Pinecone Bluff provided a scenic setting for our ceremony. It fit all of our 200+ guests comfortably and we appreciated the convenience of having the sound system, gazebo, and holding room at our dispense. The wedding itself turned out exactly how we hoped it would and a large reason for that was Becca and the Resort staff understanding 'our vision' and carrying it out while we were busy with photos, makeup, etc.
Our reception in the ballroom was breathtaking and had a more elegant feel to it. The food that the Resort provided was delicious, and Becca's husband even carved an ice sculpture with our initials in it that doubled as a martini luge! Everyone had a blast at the reception and we were happy to see the party and dancing extend late into the night.
The Resort had everything we wanted for our wedding weekend and much more. Their staff went above and beyond throughout our entire stay and Becca was extremely helpful and supportive from beginning to end. Our family and friends really appreciated having the option to attend the ceremony, the reception, and to have a place to stay for the night all in close proximity. To this day we still get compliments from our friends and family about our wedding weekend at the Resort. Our dream wedding weekend would not have been possible without the Resort at the Mountain and its staff. We highly recommend taking the drive out there and sitting down with Becca, you will not be disappointed.
