We are so grateful that we chose Afton Alps as the setting for our wedding reception! The location was serene and unique – we received many compliments on how great of a location it was. The staff was very helpful and flexible to make sure that our day went just the way we envisioned. The food was great too! Thank you, Ryan & staff for all that you did to make our day perfect!

everyone at Afton was very accommodating and were willing to work with any changes with the menu I wanted. they are very lenient with decorating as long as you do not damage the venue you can basically do what ever. They were great!

We are so happy that we chose Afton Alps as our reception venue for our wedding. The location and scenery are so unique and beautiful and provides amazing pictures. The food was incredible and we received tons of compliments from our guests, and the service was great. The manager and chef were very accommodating with answering all of our questions and providing the best and most professional service. We would definitely recommend this venue if you are looking for beautiful scenery and great food and service.

The team at Afton Alps was truly a blessing for my event. Scott and Ryan are amazing to work with . They both were so helpful & open to our schedule. As an Event planner , I will be providing information to my clients on Afton. I will be looking forward to meeting with a client and this team again hopefully in the near future. I would recommend the Paul's room and this entire venue and staff to anyone. MORE THEN 5 STARS!!!!

We had both the ceremony and reception at paul's pub and the alps chalet. the staff went above and beyond. They were supper flexible, allowing us to come in on friday and set up and pick up our decorations on Sunday. Food was served buffet style & hot and tasty all the way through.

Afton Alps was extremely easy to work with, very reasonably priced, and did a fantastic job at my wedding. Any questions that I had were answered in an incredibly professional and quick manner, and they aim to please. We were able to try several entrees at a tasting. The day before the wedding, they opened everything up and made themselves available as we set up and decorated, and we were allowed to decorate with as many candles and lights as we wanted. Brendon, the caterer worked with us to provide a fantastic meal in our budget. The buffet was amazing and the food we delicious. We had so many people complimenting how beautiful the views were and how good the food tasted. We were allowed to bring in our own wine and got charged less than a usual corkage fee for having twist cap bottles instead of corks, and they even served the wine for us for no extra charge! We also were allowed to bring in a cake from any outside baker. I loved the freedom that they gave us to really make our reception unique and fitting for us. I have no complaints about my experience and I would recommend this caterer and this location to anyone looking for a fantastic, reasonably priced place to hold a wedding reception.

Afton was beautiful, the food was great, and the staff unbelievably flexible. We were able to come in and decorate Friday, and clean up in Sunday. They put all of our things on two tables, making cleanup a breeze. We had a beef tenderloin carving station, and they allowed us to bring in our own boxed wine, as well as a special toast liquor in honor of my late father in law.

Ryan and Scott make everything smooth, albeit a little hard to get a hold of them sometimes. Then again, I'm a control freak-and they were very calming.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
