Seamless Cozy Wedding

Here is what the groom had to say “The Black Diamond Lodge was the venue for our wedding reception and ceremony and it was nothing short of amazing. The staff was outstanding throughout the entire process and everything was completely seamless. I cannot praise them enough. If you need a venue for a wedding, family reunion, skiing trip, etc. The Black Diamond Lodge should be your #1 choice!”

Second Dress

Have you heard about having a second dress at your wedding? Brides usually change into this once dancing starts, so they don’t have a large dress to carry around when they are breaking out their dance moves. This can be a fun way to show off a different style from your wedding dress. It is usually a short dress or lighter fabric, so it’s not as heavy as your larger dress. Maddie’s wedding dress was beautiful, clean, and classy. Her second dress allowed for more movement and had beautiful shiny beadwork that brought the party!

Dessert Table

Lemon bars, cookies, cake, cupcakes, and macaroons! It was a sweet feast to fuel some awesome dance moves! Elizabeth at Sweet on Durango never disappoints, and the desserts were all gone by the end of the night. Dessert tables are an awesome idea for sweets-loving couples because people can pick and choose what they want. If people don’t like cake, they can grab a lemon bar. If they don’t like chocolate, they can get a sugar cookie. It is a simple thing that really ups the guest experience.
