Amazing venue at alta -- highly recommend
One of the best parts was having both the ceremony space and reception space on site, with incredible food for both the welcome dinner and the wedding reception. Even better, all of our guests could stay on property for the whole weekend, so it felt like a giant getaway with everyone we love, all in one place. The venue was able to make a custom signature cocktail from a recipe we gave them, and put together a welcome sheet for our guests with nearby activities, which made it so easy for people to make the most of the weekend beyond just the wedding day itself.
Getting ready was just as special. We had a beautiful, spacious bridal suite, plus a separate room for the groom to get ready in, so both sides had their own space to soak in the morning.
Lastly, the setting itself is unbeatable — there's nothing quite like getting married in the mountains at Alta, and our guests are still talking about how special the whole weekend felt. We can't recommend Rustler enough for anyone considering a mountain wedding. We already can't wait to find an excuse to come back.
Rustler Lodge Summer Wedding
If there was a word better than “perfect,” then I would use that word
- The staff was accommodating, kind, insanely helpful, and they worked hard and fast to make sure everything got done in time. They were also very fun to chat with, and were always a good vibe.
- The facility was very clean and kept in great condition. There were also lots of fun things to find in the hotel, such as an arcade room and game room on the 7th floor.
- Having the entire hotel for your party for the weekend was definitely the move. We had the pool to ourselves and all of the facility amenities.
- The views were nuts. I mean, obviously, we were in Little Cottonwood Canyon, but having high rustler in the background is next level
- The spa was very nice, the pool and hot tubs were perfect, the food tasted great, there was shuttle service to Oktoberfest at Snowbird, the lawns and yards were manicured well, I could go on and on.
Bottom line: Book it. It’s worth it.
The Perfect Mountain Wedding
The staff was incredible—so welcoming, attentive, and truly made us feel at home. Planning was seamless, and the entire weekend felt effortless. From a late-night pool party to cozy moments in the one-of-a-kind après ski bar, every space felt fun, warm, and full of character.
Alta in the summer was stunning. With the natural beauty of the mountains, we hardly needed any decorations beyond flowers—it was already perfect.
Our wedding day was completely stress-free and full of joy. We’ll never forget it, and we’ll always be grateful to The Rustler for giving us the most meaningful weekend of our lives! We highly recommend this venue, and couldn’t imagine a better day.
