Solitude Mountain Resort

memorable wedding day and Sarah and the Solitude team deserve a standing ovation!

e helicopter landing pad (a gorgeous snowy meadow), and the reception was at the Last Chance Lodge. The after party was at the Thirsty Squirrel. All 145 guests stayed somewhere in Solitude Village. We pretty much hit up most of the venues! The staff was the BEST I’ve ever worked with, which is saying a lot as I am an Event Planner and Florist. Not only did the Solitude staff work hard to successfully accommodate all our requests, they were organized, reliable and SO NICE. The whole planning process was really fun. The food at all of the venues was DELICIOUS, and the venues were set up exactly as we had specified. Everyone said it was THE BEST wedding weekend they’d ever attended. Words cannot due justice in describing the INCREDIBLE wedding experience we all had at Solitude this past weekend. Everything exceeded our high expectations. Quick, book now before it fills up!

so romantic and was perfect for a more intimate group. We worked with Sarah as we got closer to the wedding and she was fantastic. She was very responsive, attentive to detail, and always offered to meet with us in person. We were particularly worried about guest and vendor parking with the ski season in progress and Sarah handled it all. The food and drinks were phenomenal as well. I was blown away by the banquet staff's service and cooperation throughout the day. I couldn't have asked for a better venue, event coordinator, and staff.

tentive, and fast to respond

weekend, but we repeatedly heard (and are still hearing) from our guests about the elk, the succotash on the Halibut, and the chocolate tort in particular.  Thank the chef for going out of her way to make meals gluten free. - Shuttle drivers were kind and very accommodating to my Grandmother (and all of our rowdy guests). - All of the servers, St. Bernards staff, lifties, bike patrol, bar, and hotel staff were warm and welcoming throughout the whole weekend which created an energetic and comfortable environment for us and our guests; the atmosphere would have been different if staff were grumpy and irritable, so this is no small thing.  The Banquet Director (Dusten) in particular was very kind and personable to us and our families.  I felt confident the event would go smoothly in his hands. - Heather at the Inn went out of her way to pick up 4 of our guests in the Moonbeam parking lot in a Pan-am at 2:00AM after their Uber dropped them off there. - Your (Sarah) organization, professionalism, responsiveness, and flexibility (ie. meeting in the evenings, fitting 141 ppl in Roundhouse, meeting us before the rehearsal, sorting out the cake delivery, etc.) made it easy on us.  Astoundingly, every detail we discussed was executed.  Having now worked with a variety of people in the wedding industry, it is clear you are a cut above the rest.  Thank you. " Could not recommend Solitude enough. One key, if you have out of town guests, is to strongly encourage them to stay in Solitude Village (as opposed to Park City or Sandy). Running into people around the village and all events being so close made the whole weekend extra special and unique, many of our guests commented on it.

h and always responded in timely manners. We were worried the snow may not melt in time after the crazy snow year and she even sent us update pictures to keep us in the loop! (It did melt). She made sure the whole day ran smooth, and I never had to feel stressed about a thing the day of. The staff was great, the food was delicious. We even had multiple guests say it was some of the best wedding food they'd had. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a perfect day!

eam Lodge. If you are undecided about the lift -- it IS worth it. The scenery is amazing and really adds to your special day. We loved it and the guests did too! The biggest unexpected positive was the staff -- I don't know if there is a better wedding team out there. They were incredibly kind, great with guests, and very quick to act. They have weddings down to a science and it feels like they know what you need before you do. Very professional, very kind, and very team driven. They are absolutely there to support you and make your day everything you wanted it to be and more! As far as prep, we mostly worked with Sasha. She is SO sweet and supportive. Our beautiful wedding wouldn't have been what it was without her helping with all the prep and working behind the scenes day of. She is very experienced and asks you thoughtful questions so you don't miss any details. She is well versed in the space and the venue's capabilities. You would be incredibly lucky to work with Sasha. We love her! Wedding - The views at the top of Moonbeam lift are absolutely stunning. You definitely feel like a mountain bride up there and you'll get the most beautiful pictures. If you haven't put two and two together, yes the wedding procession is done using the lift so each bridesmaid/groomsmen duo gets off the lift and walks right down the aisle. Bride gets loaded up a few chairs behind for ~dramatic effect~. It is SO cool and very unique. Again, the staff is truly fantastic and they knew exactly how to execute this so seriously don't even worry - they got you! If you are looking to splurge on anything - rent the lift!! Reception - Moonbeam Lodge is gorgeous. Incredible views, great space, and huge parking lot. (yes parking is free!) We loved the lawn out back, the clock tower, reception hall, and Argenta Pub. Very beautiful in the summer. Glen, the head bartender, is a true experienced professional. Excellent at his job and really made our night! Lodge - The Lodge is awesome. Great amenities and wonderful rooms. You'll really enjoy your stay! Note for any guests trying to get an uber from the Lodge to the airport or just out of the canyon -- good luck! I had 3 guests schedule ubers and all got cancelled. Do NOT depend on uber rides out of the canyon. If you are going for a mountain wedding in Utah, Solitude Mountain Resort is absolutely the place. You seriously cannot beat the staff. They are the most genuine people who really do want to make your day special. You'll have an amazing experience with them and you'll have the BEST pictures. We are so incredibly grateful for Sasha, Glen, and the entire staff that worked our wedding. They gave us a day we will never forget and now we get to see them when we go skiing in the winter! Thank you Solitude!!!

s such a wow factor for guests having to take the ski lift above the golden fall trees. The staff on site were SO FUN. The bartenders, wait staff and banquet manager were 10/10. We were their last wedding of the season so everyone was in a great mood and SUPER helpful. They even help us set up karaoke at St. Bernard's. Food and drinks were stellar, and it honestly was perfect. NEGATIVES I worked primarily with Emily before the wedding. She was so nice and lovely, and at the end of the day our wedding was absolutely perfect. I wish that Emily's response times were faster, but her responses were comprehensive. The tasting was a bit of a mess. Emily had clearly told me about their deadline for getting our picks for the tasting that we were scheduled to go to, but unfortunately that week was a really awful week for my partner and I personally, so we missed the 12p deadline and got back to her at 5pm. The next day around 3pm she let us know that they couldn't accomodate our requests and that we had missed the last tasting of the year. I really wish she had called me to get our order in - the tasting was really important for us so we had to order blind. Thankfully the food was phenomenal! My partner and I had received the banquet order at the onset when we booked the venue, and we were warned that the service fees and taxes often catch people off guard, but wow did they ever. We ended up spending quite a bit more on the venue and food than we had anticipated - by a large margin at that. At the end of the day, I'd definitely recommend Solitude. Our guests raved about their stay and experience, and it was overall an absolutely perfect day.

eception was at the Last Chance lodge, both turned out perfectly! Sasha was amazing to work with and I can’t recommend her enough!! She made planning so much easier and made sure everything went smoothly on our wedding day. The food was delicious and the lodge looked stunning. I highly recommend them as a venue.

was perfect. Kate got us off to a fantastic start by answering all of our questions and helping us hammer out some of the basics, and then Emily seamlessly took over a few months before the wedding. The ceremony space was beautiful, and Last Chance was the perfect size for our party. The entire staff is comprised of absolute professionals, from the set up crew to the dinner staff and bartenders, even the golf cart driver to help our grandparents get around! My husband and I were so busy dancing that we didn't get to have our wedding cake, but the staff saved us some for later. We were able to reserve the Thirsty Squirrel for our after party, and Emily had Stone Haus Pizza make us some late-night snacks. It was a great way to end the night. Our guests had nothing but good things to say about the food, and my husband and I agree! My husband and I have been to seven weddings in the last year and hands down, Solitude had the best food. The strawberry mint fizz, risotto balls, pistachio-crusted halibut, beef tenderloin, and tres leches cake were the favorites. From the initial tour, multiple consultations and menu tastings, to the rehearsal dinner at St. Bernards, to the entire wedding day, we cannot thank solitude enough for our perfect wedding. We will be recommending them to anyone who is interested!

e only thing we heard from guests were that they wished the food was kept out a little longer during the reception, the staff were SO on top of it they might have taken it away a little too soon for everyone. All in all no complaints and highly recommend getting married here!!

all our guests said it was the most beautiful location and best, most fun wedding they have been to. The initial communication was a bit rocky due to some reorganization in the events department, but once Sasha was hired, the communication improved dramatically and we were very satisfied. Sasha helped with all of the venue details, schedule, communication with vendors for setup/deliveries, day of communicating with the staff, and was overall a rockstar. She was very accessible, was at our rehearsal to help make sure everyone knew the plan since we were taking the lift up to the ceremony, and the day of making sure everything was set and there was proper communication with the Solitude staff. The rest of the staff was also amazing and went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. I highly recommend Solitude, but especially the Roundhouse venue!

hough the evenings were pleasant, during the day it got quiet hot, and I’m a Floridian. The resort rooms and condos are not air conditioned, it was very uncomfortable at times. I know that it is primarily a ski resort, but box fans really didn’t cut it. The condos are privately owned, and it is up to the owner to renovate, our condo was in need of a facelift. This summer only two restaurants were open, the pizza place and honeycomb. The bar was not opened until Friday night. Now onto the wedding itself. Construction was in process at Moonbeam. And the lawn where ceremonies take place was next to the construction, and blocked off with an 8’ wooden fence. The setup was not moved further to the right, leaving the fence in more than half the pictures and blocking the rest of the view up the mountain. The food was very good and everyone enjoyed their meal. However, the bar is in another room causing people having to leave the main room, slowing down getting the party started.

y hard to beat and I give both of those items 5 stars. The staff was also super kind at the wedding, let us stay a little longer because we were having so much fun, and were extremely accommodating. The reason I ultimately am giving 4 stars to this venue is due to communication issues from the beginning. When we first wanted to tour the venue and book, we could not reach anyone who was able to help us! I called many times, left voicemails, and sent multiple emails. Once we were booked, our communication with Lindsay was a little better but not great. Eventually Lindsay left her role and we worked with Sasha who was wonderful at communication. Every issue we found with the venue was not Sasha’s fault but there were a few. For example, the roundhouse venue is perfect for an outdoor wedding but they do not have tables/chairs included with the venue that you are able to use outside. This would have been fine but I just wish we knew up front about that and had more time to prepare since we thought they were included all along. Although they do have circle tables that you can rent to put outside, they don’t have any circle table linens so we had to figure out renting those as well last minute since we weren’t informed. We were also promised a food tasting for months before the wedding and they ran out of time planning it and we never received one which was kind of a bummer. Also, I just found out they ran out of food and one of our tables didn’t get any entrees so that’s pretty unacceptable. But regardless, was a beautiful venue reception.

here were issues with wildfire smoke and we needed to move our outdoor reception to the indoors. My only constructive recommendation is that I would have preferred to interact with Kate/Lindsay a little more the day of the wedding. I worked with Kate for months leading up to the wedding, so it was a little off-putting to not visibly see her at our wedding. I almost felt like they were avoiding me, but maybe because they didn't want to bother me? I understand that they could not take the place of a wedding planner, but a couple of check-ins would have been a nice professional touch. I was expecting their assistance with the ceremony, but the entrance and ending could have also been smoother if they were there the entire time--lots of family members missed their corsages and nobody was there to direct us after the ceremony, so we looked lost. Pretty minor things, but I personally would have felt more comforted by a couple of small check-ins and if they were around for key transitions. If there are concerns about bothering the bride, I recommend asking each bride about their preference for interactions or identifying whothe point-person is for the wedding day—may it be a friend or family member. Overall, good experience and thank you Solitude!

organize the ceremony, reception, and lodging. I would 100% recommend using this as your venue.

we hoped it would be. Everything was so organized and beautiful! Kate was amazing at keeping in touch and answered all of our questions. Kate made the whole wedding planning process so easy. She seriously knows her stuff. This wedding venue is the best of the best. If you are looking for anything in the mountains, I highly recommend choosing Solitude.

y answered all our questions by email. Our ceremony was on the Inn Lawn with the reception at the Honeycomb Grill. They were both within easy walking distance. Everything went perfectly, the scenery was amazing, and I highly recommend both the venue and the staff!

to create our ideal wedding experience. They were professional, accommodating, and flexible to last minute changes. The food was outstanding. We met with several similar venues and Solitude really stood out as the venue that would be the perfect fit for not only our reception, but our guests as they all were flying from out of state. Our guests loved being able to stay in the village and had so many great things to say about their entire weekend. I can't recommend Solitude enough!

ast Chance Lodge. Throughout the planning process, Julianna and Kate were incredible to work with. They helped us incorporate our own traditions into the Solitude space--we truly felt the wedding was exactly what we hoped for. (They even were willing to make a cake using our recipe!). They are very organized and helped us stay on track with all the detail. They also were wonderful at communicating with our other vendors to make sure everyone was on the same page. All of the staff at Solitude were kind, down-to-earth, and happy to help us and our guests with anything we needed. For many of our guests, Solitude was their first introduction to Utah, and they loved it--several plan to come back for vacation! It's a great venue for people of all ages and interests. Great for kids--tons of space to run around, great pool. Great for outdoorsy guests with lots of hikes and biking nearby. And, also great for our less-outdoorsy guests--they loved checking out mountain views from the chairlift or relaxing on the patios! We had the best day of our lives--couldn't have hoped for a better celebration! If you want a relaxed, fun, beautiful, and personal wedding--we recommend this venue 100%!

who were coming to town to feel like they were a world away from the hustle of normal life but also be easy to get to and stay. We also wanted to have a venue that fully capitalized on the mountains it was set in. Being just 35 minutes from SLC airport, Solitude was all of these things and so much more. Kate and Julianna were the perfect blend of professional and accommodating. We always felt like they were on our team, not simply our hosts. We had a welcome BBQ at Last Chance Lodge on Friday, the ceremony at the top of Moonbeam express chairlift and the reception at Moonbeam lodge. Everything was perfect. The guests love the beautiful drive up the canyon getting to the venue, the taco bar at the wedding was amazing, the ice cream cookie sandwiches Friday night were a hit, and taking a chairlift up to the ceremony was unforgettable for everyone. We had the band outside on the patio and the setting was just gorgeous. And best of all, it was so convenient to have everyone staying on property with lots of things to do from hiking to biking, disc golf and the pool! We had a lot of help from Hoopes Events wedding planning to make the weekend go off without a hitch!

s loved. The Solitude staff was great to work with and were very responsive and friendly. The food and drinks were also very good! Highly recommend Solitude if you are looking for a mountain wedding!

n regards to the view, but also the food, the drinks, the accommodations and everything. Kate was absolutely flawless, her attention to detail and organizational skills contributed directly to the success of our wedding. I had to plan my wedding overseas and regardless of the unique challenges, Solitude took it with grace, flexibility, and they ensured that it was the most amazing experience of our lives. Couldn’t be more thankful. Much love, Arielle and Lewis

ions, which Kate answered with great patience. The planning process was very smooth, even as we had multiple food tastings and many dietary restrictions to accommodate. Most of our guests were coming in from out of town, so we wanted to make sure they were well taken care of throughout the weekend, and Kate helped us do just that. We held a welcome reception on Friday night at St Bernard’s and the Library Bar, which was fantastic. The food (dessert action station and chips/salsa/guacamole) was presented beautifully and was delicious, and the lawn was perfect for setting up some games. On Saturday, we had our ceremony on the lawn at the Inn and our reception at the Last Chance Lodge. The setup for the ceremony was perfect, and the reception space was great (if slightly warm). We had our dinner upstairs in the LCL and dancing downstairs, which worked well for our group of about 120. Throughout the weekend and after, our guests continually commented on how amazing the food was and how impressed they were by everything at Solitude. The staff did a wonderful job accommodating all of the dietary restrictions in our group and ensuring that everything ran smoothly. It was an absolutely unforgettable weekend and everything we could have possibly hoped for. We highly recommend Solitude as a venue for your event, without any reservations!

quick to respond to our email questions and were always willing to help us out. They helped get us some different alcohol options for our host bar that wasn't on their list. We did our taste testing and met with Julianna to go through the days events and to get details together. We didn't get a day of coordinator because I could tell that Solitude was experienced in wedding events and knew what they were doing and were organized themselves. They handled the food, place settings, linens, and even some of the setup. We did our ceremony up the lift and had some of the flowers from the ceremony site brought back down to the lodge for the reception decor and the staff helped us with this. We encountered some rain during our ceremony and the staff drove up a van to help take down guests so they wouldn't get soaked on the lift on the way down. Everyone we worked with was very friendly and professional. All of our guests were from out of state and many this was their first time to Utah and we wanted to wow them with the beautiful mountains. Our guests LOVED the venue!! We didn't have to do much for decor since the lodge and outside setting was already so beautiful. We ended up coming in right on budget and all of our guests kept telling us this was the most beautiful wedding they had been to. I wouldn't have changed a thing!

the resort for our weekend. Our guests loved how much there was to do in solitude village! The staff was wonderful and made everything very easy on us. The setting for the ceremony was so beautiful we hardly had to decorate and cost of the whole wedding was very reasonable.

stayed at Solitude all weekend, which really gave my husband and I time to connect with everyone. Our day of coordination, Kate, really helped us with planning along the way. She was also available to answer questions and made sure that the whole day was organized and ran smoothly. Our wedding planning ended up being a breeze, largely due to Kate and the fact that Solitude handled all food, drinks, tables, dishes, and linens. That only left us with needing to book a florist, photographer and DJ.

ence with Solitude was amazing. From the beginning, they were easy to work with and very helpful. Kate, the events coordinator for Solitude, is very organized and makes the planning very easy. We met with her throughout the planning and she had great ideas and gently guided us through the process. She is not pushy at all, but was able to keep us moving forward due to her great people and communication skills, and knowledge of her position while also never making us feel as if we were a burden. Her services couldn't have been better than they were. We also had a tremendous experience with the rest of the staff on the day of the wedding. The food was incredible and of very high qualify. The kindness of all of the staff assisting us was over the top. They never acted as if they were just doing their job, but they all made us feel as if we were the most important thing in the world and as if no request was an imposition. They were amazing. I told my daughter and son-in-law that there was no such thing as a perfect wedding. They told me I was wrong, as they did have a perfect wedding. I give a lot of credit for the success of the day to the staff at Solitude for doing everything they could to make our wedding and reception run smoothly. We had so much fun and didn't have to worry or stress about things getting taken care of. I would definitely have another event at Solitude if the occasion were to arise. Thanks to Kate, Chris and the whole Solitude team for all the great food, service, planning and over the top kindness. We couldn't be more pleased and wouldn't change anything.

e it won’t be the last). From day one Kate was beyond easy to work with and helped to ensure the best possible outcome for the big day. Wedding staff was phenomenal and the food could not have been better.

e, was active during the entire planning process that lasted about a year. She thought of things being an issue before it even came to my mind and had a plan for it as well. I personally didn't get to eat much, but multiple guests were raving about the food at the reception. One guest said, 'The salmon was cooked to perfection.' They are just so flexible, easy to work with and want to make your wedding stress free and memorable. They really did make our wedding a day to remember positively.

d knowledgeable. A lot goes in to planning a wedding, and Julianna had everything covered. She responded quickly to my emails, and met us for several meetings. Solitude catered all of our meals and the food was phenomenal. We got so many compliments from guests on how good the food was! Solitude also has their own chairs and linens/dinnerware, so we didn’t have to provide any of it. Everything was so easy and convenient! We were able to get a room block at The Inn, have our rehearsal and dinner, host a welcome dessert and have our wedding ceremony, cocktail hour, reception and after party at Solitude! We wouldn’t have done it anywhere else! Their prices were also more reasonable, compared to other local ski resorts. Solitude was perfect and exactly what we wanted for our mountain wedding!

aff, were a HUGE part as to why! I was a particular bride & Kate was a GOD SENT for me. She was so responsive & met with me several times before the wedding. If I hadn't thought of something, she did! She was so organized by making sure every detail was accounted for. Julianna was more involved the weekend of my wedding & was so helpful as well! Both the girls were there on my wedding day, talking with my vendors, checking in on me, moving things.. They were unreal. We chose to have our ceremony up the chairlift & our reception at Moonbeam Lodge this August & it was breathtaking! If you love outdoors/the mountains, choose the upper ceremony area!!! Our guests had the most unique experience taking the chairlift up to our ceremony & being seated in the middle of the mountains. Our photos turned out unlike any other ceremony you've ever seen. I cannot say enough about how incredible our wedding was & I would choose Solitude over & over again!!

out for the day of the wedding. They both were fantastic! Kate was so patient and kind and very informative. She answered all my questions in a timely fashion, made all the planning super super easy, and also kept us informed of anything happening up at the lodge. We were super lucky to have the leaves change just enough to have bright pops of yellow in all of our photos. The lodge was gorgeous. We couldn't have asked for a better day/people to work with. Also, the food they provide is AMAZING. You have so many options! I really cannot say enough about how good everything was for us. Seriously, book with Solitude ASAP!

outdoor. The staff was spectacular and offered to help in any way they could. Kate, our wedding coordinator was especially something to rave about. She handled every single detail and reviewed things with us several times. There were no surprises and every detail was perfect. She was always friendly and did things with a smile. I would recommend anyone to choose Solitude!

y and low stress. They coordinated with a lot of our other vendors to ensure the timeline on our wedding day went smoothly. They were always available over email to help coordinate or answer any of our many many questions. If you're looking for an amazing mountain wedding, this is the place!

y accommodating and incredibly easy to communicate with. If we were to do it all over again, we would absolutely choose this venue again. Furthermore, the catering was out of this world in terms of taste, quality, and variety!

nth we stumbled upon Solitude (thanks to a friendly stranger in Starbucks). We were amazed with our entire experience at Solitude, our first meeting with Kate exceeded all expectations and we didn't have to sacrifice anything for our day. Working with Kate was one of our best decisions, she answered every question and handled last minute emergencies professionally and at ease. She kept in contact and reminded me weekly about missing items to ensure our day went smoothly. On the big day, Kate handled last minute changes, guest needs, scheduling and keeping us on track and letting us enjoy our party. Everyone at Solitude made our day incredible (even the rain stopped just in time to keep our ceremony on the lawn!). Moonbeam Lodge is BEAUTIFUL and our guests are still taking about it. With close to 70 people in attendance it was roomy and comfortable to eat, drink, and dance all night. We can't imagine any other option and we are THRILLED to have spent our week with our families at Solitude Mountain Resort.

t Lake but we live in DC and I cannot recommend this venue more strongly. From the get go Kate Macconi made us feel confident about the process, and appreciate how willing they were to personalize this experience and special weekend for us. The "week-of" was incredible, the team at the Inn was so attentive. Our Friday evening party, the ceremony and the reception were perfectly executed and coordinated and we got numerous compliments on the reception food (served for 200 guests). Solitude thought of every detail. We had almost 200 people and everyone at Solitude was friendly, professional, responsive and simply the best in the business. Planning was so smooth it was unbelievable!

ery staff member I interacted with was professional, friendly, and helpful. It's not cheap, but we truly felt it was worth every penny: the logistics were seamless, the food/drink/staff were great, and we didn't have to worry about anything. The majority of our guests were traveling from out of state, and everyone loved being in the mountains, staying in the Village and getting to enjoy the beautiful nature of the Wasatch. Last thing - hugest shout out to Kate Macconi, wedding planner extraordinaire! She is so kind, diligent, responsive, organized, and really just amazing at her job. Thank you Kate, we will remember our flawless wedding for the rest of our lives :)

ons (and quick too!), give us seating chart options and meet to look at the space. Our food was the most amazing thing I had ever eaten and presented so beautifully. It was hot and even during cocktail hour, our guests said the food was always available and delicious! The wait staff was so sweet. Our guests (most who came from out of town) loved the venue in the mountains and continuously told me about how nice everyone at the resort had been. This made wedding planning so much easier and it was great to know all of our guests were treated just as well! I seriously can not say enough great things about Julianna and the staff at Solitude! If you read this, thank you again!!!

edule and helped us stay on top of our tasks. Having a traditional Hindu Ceremony, Kate had to work with Solitude on accommodating a lot of new rituals, and everything worked smoothly. She helped connect us with Andrew, the F&B director who then worked with me and his team on recreating my mom's Indian recipes. We received great support and coordination from everyone at the Resort. The views were breathtaking and all our guests had a wonderful time both during and outside of the wedding.

uldnt have asked for anything better!

tal in making the day seamless and one for the books. I cannot recommend Kate, Stephan or Juliana enough, and would give my full vote of confidence for Solitude to any bride looking to have a smooth and stunning wedding .
