At the newly-opened Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail, brides and grooms can exchange vows and celebrate with a Colorado mountain chic wedding that reflects the natural beauty of Vail and the sophisticated ambiance of Four Seasons. With exceptional cuisine artfully prepared by Executive Chef Jason Harrison, several wedding packages are available that can be customised to the couple’s specifications. Every detail has been thought of, down to bridal party spa packages, children’s meals and even fun beverage stations, leaving the bridal party and wedding guests free to celebrate the occasion and soak in all Vail has to offer.

Ceremony Site
In an exclusive partnership with Larkspur Restaurant, Four Seasons couples are able to hold their ceremony on the stunning grounds of Larkspur’s outdoor lawn, with the Gore Range as the backdrop, before returning to the elegant, richly-appointed ballroom event space at Four Seasons Resort Vail. With this unique arrangement, couples do not sacrifice between service or setting. They can exchange vows in an idyllic outdoor location, while enjoying the impeccable service and attention to detail for which Four Seasons weddings are renowned.

Located at the base of Vail Mountain, Larkspur’s grounds are framed by the jagged peaks of the Rockies. Beautifully landscaped with aspen groves and seasonal plants, the outdoor setting is picture perfect. In addition to the exclusive partnership with Larkspur, Four Seasons Resort Vail also partners with Vail Mountain, Vail Chapel and the Betty Ford Alpine Garden, each a popular ceremony site, and all within walking distance from the Resort.

The Ballroom at Four Seasons Resort Vail
For those who wish to have a ceremony and reception at the same venue, Four Seasons Resort Vail can host both within the ballroom space. The Bighorn Ballroom blends sophistication with rustic flavour with lavish fabric walls, hand-forged cast iron chandeliers and dark wood accents. The plush carpet has a colour scheme of rich crimson, burnt amber and chocolate. The Resort’s beautiful outdoor setting can enhance a cocktail reception on the pool terrace, which has amazing views of the mountainside. Four Seasons Resort Vail can accommodate a traditional banquet wedding for up to 200 guests. In addition to the Ballroom, a private event room, Out of Bounds, is available for up to 24 guests in Flame restaurant, ideal for intimate rehearsal dinners or bridal party luncheons.

Couples looking for a wedding location that embraces the Colorado mountains for their special day need look no further than Four Seasons Resort and Residences Vail.
