We had an exceptional experience working with Vail Resorts for our couple's wedding at The 10th, and can confidently say that much of the event's success was due to the incredible team - especially Abigael, the event manager. From our first conversation, Abby was responsive, professional and incredibly accommodating. She consistently went above and beyond to make sure every detail was executed flawlessly and that our clients (and the entire vendor team!) were happy. Not to mention, the venue on top of the mountain is absolutely STUNNING. Our clients and their guests were blown away by both the views and hospitality. As a planner, it's a gift to collaborate with a venue team who truly understands what it takes to host an elevated, stress-free celebration. We can't wait to be back!
