We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful venue than Summit Bechtel Reserve! The grounds are absolutely stunning, with so many breathtaking spots for photos. From the ceremony to the reception, every backdrop felt like a dream. We were especially grateful for Liz, the day-of coordinator. She was truly wonderful to work with—so attentive, incredibly detail-oriented, and worked seamlessly with our wedding planner to ensure everything ran smoothly. Thanks to her and the entire staff, we didn’t have to worry about a thing on the big day. The team handled all the setup, and someone was always available to shuttle us around for photos, our first look, and private vows. They genuinely doted on us throughout the entire evening, going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and stress-free. They even personally served us dinner and left leftovers in our room for a perfect midnight snack. The food was absolutely delicious. We went with the Italian menu option, and our guests couldn’t stop talking about how much they enjoyed it. Every dish was flavorful, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Our experience at Summit Bechtel Reserve was magical from start to finish. We’re so grateful for their incredible staff and this unforgettable location!

Highly recommend The Summit for your wedding! Liz Slone at the Summit was the calming DREAM of an event coordinator. She exudes professionalism and expertise and made us feel so at ease during both the planning process and the event itself. She anticipated details we would never have thought of and had quick and easy solutions for any small issue that popped up, and kept us centered on enjoying our day. The staff at the hotel were incredibly accommodating and flexible, and the food and drinks service was fantastic. Cannot speak highly enough about our experience here.

lanning), to the day of the wedding. Such professionalism and attention to detail like no other. Liz the wedding planner was awesome. As mother of the bride I had the most stress free day to enjoy and soak it all in. Liz was on her game!! The hotel and the place the bride stayed in was top notch, clean, and nice! Without a doubt a wonderful venue that made my daughter’s wedding day so special. The views were spectacular!
