We dare you to try to dress better than the future Mr. & Mrs. Handel ;) Black tie and dapper as hell! Please bring fabulous coats, shawls, faux furs, gloves, etc! There will be heated sidewalks before stepping onto the gondola. So do not hesitate to bust out that fancy footwear.
Take a gondola ride up the mountain to Needles Lodge for our ceremony! We will tie the knot outside on the veranda looking out towards the mountain tops. Trust us, it's worth it for the view! Blankets, hot cocoa/ cider, and outdoor heaters will be provided. Cocktail hour to follow with light hors d'oeuvres served inside the lodge. There will be a place for guest(s) to place outerwear inside. Gondola is ADA / handicap accessible.
6:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Right after our ceremony we will host a cocktail hour in Needles Lodge. Light hors d'oeuvres, signature cocktails and mocktails, beer and wine will be served.
Cocktail hour will take place indoors. Shed the fabulous outerwear and warm up inside with a nice signature cocktail or hot chocolate!
7:00 pm - 11:00 pm
Eat, drink, and dance the night away with the newlyweds! Take the gondola back down the mountain to Earl’s lodge where there will be a buffet style dinner to cater to all our guests dietary tastes. There will be fireside s’mores stations along with an assortment of desserts served for our guests after dinner. After dinner, join the bride and groom on the dance floor!
