Summer and Winter Seasons Provide Beautifully Natural Backdrop
For Destination Weddings

Winter Park Resort, Winter Park, Colo., Summer 2008 – "I do want our wedding to be meaningful", "I do want our wedding to be unique" and "I do want our friends and family to be wowed," are all concerns brides and grooms share in their search for the perfect place to exchange "I dos".   Winter Park Resort takes these considerations and more into customizing the absolute best wedding package for each couple.  And unlike most destination venues that tack on hidden fees, Winter Park Resort includes the following in its different site fees at no additional charge:

Ceremony site – set up and tear down of seating outdoors
Back up ceremony location at The Lodge at Sunspot or The Jane Lodge
Cake table, gift table and guest registry table
Tables, chairs, china, glasses and flatware

Transportation for weddings at The Lodge at Sunspot (chairlift, gondola and/or ground transportation)
Five hours blocked time for your event
Bar set up and tear down
Waitstaff and bartender service

Located just 67 miles from the heart of Denver, Colorado – yet seemingly a world away from its hustle and bustle, Winter Park Resort is nestled into the west side of the Continental Divide.  With its stunning backdrop of the Rocky Mountains and its natural landscape of towering pines and wildflowers, Winter Park Resort offers two ideal wedding sites – the stunning mountaintop Lodge at Sunspot and the simply elegant Jane Lodge.  Each setting offers a distinctly unique aisle off of the beaten path.

Taking into consideration the fact that weddings are in fact experiences, Winter Park Resort offers its expertise in hosting rehearsal dinners, bridesmaid luncheons, stag parties, even post wedding brunches.  It's peace of mind knowing that details important to the couple are also important to the resort.

Additionally, Winter Park Resort offers couples discounted lodging at resort properties including the slopeside Zephyr Mountain Lodge, our newest accommodations – Fraser Crossing and Founders Pointe, Winter Park Mountain Lodge and the Vintage Hotel.  After wedding guests have booked a minimum of 20 rooms, the lucky couple receives a complimentary honeymoon night in a one bedroom condo in Zephyr Mountain Lodge.
