Awarded Best of Zola
We love this team so much! The staff, the venue, our planer, DJ, It was incredible how well everyone worked together, I really felt so supported and seen as a bride. It was amazing to really feel taken care of which contributed to calming any nerves or stress a bride typically goes through. Everyone could not believe how SMOOTH the day went. Thank you for making our day so special, for all the help that was offered, and allowing it to be VERY DIY to fit our vision and all my creative ideas to a T !

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!

If you want to wow friends and family with a spectacular wedding, have it at Piney. The amount of compliments my husband and I have received on the venue, food, staff, atmosphere, everything was above and beyond - and we have Piney and the incredible Piney staff to thank for making our wedding so unforgettable. We had our wedding the last day of the season - end of September - and the Aspen leaves were amazing. We had not one, not two, but three moose show up, bald eagles flying over us during our wedding vows, and sunshine. It was the most magical day of my life. Beyond the incredible setting, the staff at Piney made the whole planning experience wonderful. We didn't worry about a single thing, because Hollie and Mo kept us organized, suggested ideas to bring our wedding vision to life, and helped us make our dream wedding a reality. We stayed at the cabins with friends after the wedding reception wrapped up and had the opportunity to stay up late, sitting around a campfire, and talking about all of the wonderful memories from the day. I wouldn't change a single thing. The amount of family and friends who have told my husband and I that it was the best wedding they had ever been to reinforces that it isn't just my rose colored post-wedding love bubble doing the talking here, this venue is a show stopper.
