Misti and the Alta Lodge team were the best. From the moment we arrived, everything was simply perfect. The staff's attention to detail and genuine warmth made us feel like royalty. The breathtaking scenery of Utah's mountains served as a stunning backdrop for our special day. The food was a true masterpiece; each dish was a burst of flavors that delighted every palate. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the exceptional service and the overall magical atmosphere. Alta Lodge exceeded all our expectations and created memories that will be cherished forever. If you're searching for an extraordinary wedding venue, look no further – Alta Lodge is an absolute gem!

f you are wanting a dreamy intimate mountain wedding.. look no further. We had our wedding at Alta Lodge on 8.28.20 and it was honestly a dream come true. Nothing beats that mountain view! So stunning! I've never seen a prettier view of the mountains. The lodge is such a cute venue and nothing beats its original charm. It's truly unique! The staff makes you feel at home and we are so happy to join the Alta family now. Rosie showed us the lodge in the beginning and was really helpful to give us all of the information that we needed. Molly was our wedding coordinator that came with the venue and was seriously a lifesaver!! She helped us every step of the way and made sure things were going as planned and things turned out just as we envisioned. When COVID happened, they let us know all of the new protocols and we are so lucky we didn't have to postpone our wedding. They did everything they could to make sure our wedding was perfect.. even during a pandemic. Wedding planning during COVID is a nightmare for anyone, and when the world was suddenly flipped upsidedown Alta Lodge was there for us. We had 10000 questions about planning during a pandemic, and Molly took the time to meticulously answer every single one so we could be at ease. We are so grateful for the Alta staff for their dedication to make our day perfect despite these uncertain times. The food at our reception was amazing and the steak was the best I've ever had! We cut our guest list down to 43 and it felt like the perfect amount for the space. Everyone had such a great time and loved everything. It was so fun to take pictures in the mountains right after our ceremony. The patio was the perfect place for all of our wedding events. We loved being outside and the weather was perfect that time of year. We could go on and on about how much we love Alta.. in conclusion, we can't recommend them enough! (:

Alta Lodge is a perennial favorite with my couples because of the exceptional service, the rustic-modern charm that accompanies this historic family-run lodge at Alta, and the full-service wedding packages, including incredible food and in-house planners/coordinators. As a photographer who is lucky enough to photograph weddings at Alta Lodge several times a year, I also love it for several additional reasons. The communication from the wedding team is exceptional, as is the flexibility and easy-going vibe that accompanies it. The view from the ceremony space overlooking the ski resort is staggering, as are the nearby locations for quick-and-easy portraits with the couples. When couples book me but are still in the venue-hunting phase of wedding planning, I always add Alta Lodge to the recommendations. I love this place!
