Why make your wedding a weekend event?

A wedding celebration is the most important memory in every couple’s marriage.  A wedding not only marks the time of union between a husband and wife, but also provides the opportunity for families and friends to bond, catch up, and celebrate.  A weekend event allows the bride and groom to spend time with their families and friends, enjoy shared activities, and make life-long memories.  And most importantly, the bride and groom can make sure that they share important time together as they take this momentous step in their relationship.

The Pavilion manager will work with you and your wedding planner to ensure that your weekend is exciting and memorable.  You and your family and friends can opt to stay in one of Keystone’s luxury hotels or condos, dine in Keystone’s top restaurants, play at one of Keystone’s two premiere golf courses, and enjoy a variety of large and small group activities, including sporting, hiking, biking, rafting, and, of course, relaxing.  Begin your weekend on a Friday night with the all-too-necessary wedding rehearsal followed by the rehearsal dinner at a resort restaurant.  Spend the Saturday bonding with family and friends.  Finally, allow the wedding ceremony and reception to be the culmination for your important weekend.

Whether you want your wedding to be a lavish, weekend-long event or a quaint, afternoon celebration, the Pavilion at Keystone will help you meet your needs.     Please contact the Pavilion at Keystone Manager at 970.496.4613 with any questions about your wedding celebration.
