  • Welcome reception for Destination Wedding

    Verified review
    •Greg and Linda•2 years ago

    As parents of the Groom, with a destination wedding, we opted to host a Welcome Reception rather than the traditional rehearsal dinner. The event was scheduled for a Friday evening with an open house format. The idea was to provide a central point for travelers to touch base. The Museum provided the ideal setting. With the Bride and Groom and their circle of friends being both huge mountain bike and back country skiers, the theme was ideal. For all, older and families, the museum provided the old and the new and great insight into the town and the surrounding area. Many made use of this for activities preceding the late afternoon Saturday wedding. The accommodation by the Museum with the local caterer to set up a buffet of finger foods and maybe a mini doughnut or two was perfect. Combined with a strategically placed refreshment bar made great use of the space. Allowing all the guests to meet, greet or renew, while enjoying the museums presentations. The best recommendation we can provide, we would do it again!

    My wife and I held our rehearsal dinner at the Crested Butte museum. It was really special as I had first viewed it when it opened as the mountain bike museum, we both love the town and the venue was very original. It worked out really well and we would highly recommend it
