We are so grateful that weather and nature permitted for our wedding to be held at The Outpost on 9/21. It was the perfect venue to host and we so appreciated the fact that a part of their package includes staying on site. Waking up with our wedding party and setting up our tent and decor together made it feel like a family affair. Alyssa, Billy & Jolene were accommodating, kind and supportive through it all, even when a rain and hail storm came through the day before our wedding. They helped with clean up and drying things out so that all could be ready for our special day. The location is cozy, beautiful and perfect for groups. We hope to be back to visit and would highly recommend it as either a great place to spend a few days or celebrating a social day.

This venue had everything you would need. The look and feel of the venue really capture a beautiful aesthetic in person. Really felt taken care of by  Alyssa, Jolene & Billy. They made sure every detail was taken care of. The wedding was enjoyed by all of the guests.  Staff were willing to assist to make it a memorable experience for guests.  I couldn't be more happy to recommend The Outpost to anyone looking for that special place, run by special people. We hope to be back in the near future!

Hi, this is Kurt and Stefanie Yaeger, now a happily married couple. Real people with a real review, and we can say we absolutely loved our wedding at The Outpost. The venue was magical, out of the box (which is perfect for us), and exactly what we wanted. Why? The mountain and lake views, the cabins, the privacy, the lighting, all of it amazing, but that isn't the main reason, which is attributed to the owner's personal service: Jolene, Alyssa, & Billy. They really went above and beyond, making sure our day was special, unique, and exactly how we wanted it. They were attentive and communicative leading up to the special day, recommended amazing food vendors, facility vendors, and made our day one that we could enjoy and focus on our guests. The venue itself is amazing! Mountain views in the background of our photos of us saying "I do". The cabins! Five cabins we used to stay in, used on the day, and put up the wedding party in to stay overnight. Each having a personal touch of music, all on vinyl records (so cool). Also, the freedom to make our day special and unique. My wife and I chose where the isle went, the chairs were, the food vendors placed, tables, tents, everything went were our imagination wanted to put them. So, our wedding was bespoke, a one-off wedding that only we got to have, which means you get to use the same facility but it's going to be different than ours, so it will only be yours. We're grateful for the wonderful memories. Our guests were over the moon. We can't wait to go back and spend a weekend where we got married. Where else can you get all that? Kurt & Stefanie.

We're a family business and combine for decades of experience in storytelling, experience building and pulling off large-scale events around the world. The first time we saw this property, we thought, “What an incredible backdrop for a wedding!” Since purchasing the property two years ago, we've poured love, energy and a lot of hard work into reimagining this nearly 100-year-old lodge and creating a one-of-a-kind event space with a quiet, mountain-modern feel. We can't wait to share The Outpost with you and host you and your loved ones on your special day
