Hidden Gem at the base of Vail

Wow! I cannot say enough great things about Lion Square Lodge and the team at Colorado Mountain Events. Sarah is so attentive, knowledgeable, and easy to work with. You will not find a better location to have your wedding. We had Colorado and out of state guests and everyone was in love with the venue.

We did our rehearsal dinner at El Sabor, at our ceremony on the lawn, did cocktail hour on the pool deck, and had dinner and dancing in the event space over looking the mountains with a great terrace. Every space we used was perfect and flowed so nicely throughout the night. On Sunday we had a brunch and pool party that was a hit!

It was great to have everything in one spot and time for guests to explore all that is Vail. I would recommend this venue (and have) to anyone wanting to get married in the mountains. I wouldn't change a thing!

5 Stars – Unforgettable Winter Wedding

We had our wedding at Lion Square Lodge in March 2025, and it was truly everything we had dreamed of and moree! The setting was absolutely breathtaking—snow-covered mountains, a cozy mountain lodge vibe, and the perfect balance of elegance and comfort for our intimate celebration.

A huge shoutout to Megan, the Group Events and Sales Manager, who was an absolute rockstar from day one. She was organized, responsive, and genuinely cared about making our day special. From handling our lodging block to helping us navigate winter traval logistics and planning details, Megan made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. We felt completely taken care of the entire time.

We were also lucky to work with Vail Catering Concepts, Lion Square’s new exclusive catering partner, and they knocked it out of the park. The food was not only beautifully presented but also absolutely yummy.

If you're considering a Vail wedding, Lion Square Lodge should be at the top of your list. The combination of the location, the incredible staff, and top-notch catering made for a perfect wedding weekend. We’re so grateful for everyone who made it happen.

Vail wedding right at home

As a local, I’ve always known Lion Square Lodge was special—but hosting our wedding here in March made it unforgettable. We had a small, intimate celebration with just close family and friends, and everything felt personal, relaxed, and right at home. The setting was stunning, the staff was thoughtful, and the whole experience was exactly what we hoped for. Couldn’t have asked for more.

The Ultimate Ski Wedding Experience!

We got married at Lion Square Lodge in March 2025 and could not have asked for a more perfect venue for our ski-themed wedding. From the moment we arrived, the entire team made us feel welcome and taken care of. The location—right at the base of the gondola—was ideal for our guests who wanted to hit the slopes before and after the big day.

Magical Winter Wedding

We had our wedding at Lion Square Lodge in December, and it was truly the winter wonderland we had always dreamed of. The venue was the perfect intimate setting for our Christmas-themed celebration—cozy, elegant, and nestled right at the base of Vail Mountain.

From start to finish, the experience was incredible. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every detail was flawless. The catering was delicious and beautifully presented—our guests are still raving about the food! The lodging accommodations were equally impressive, with spacious and comfortable rooms that made it easy for our family and friends to relax and enjoy the weekend.

The warm, festive atmosphere and the beautiful mountain backdrop created unforgettable memories. If you're looking for a magical winter wedding venue, Lion Square Lodge is everything and more. We can’t recommend it highly enough!

perfect wedding welcome party

We had our Wedding Welcome Party in the Gore Creek Room at Lion Square Lodge, and it was absolutely magical! The large windows and wrap-around patio created the perfect ambiance, offering stunning views of the pool area and the surrounding mountains. It really set the tone for the rest of our wedding weekend.

The space felt both elegant and inviting, and our guests couldn’t stop raving about the beautiful setting. The catering was top-notch—delicious food that left everyone satisfied!

Perfect Wedding at Lions Square Lodge

We always wanted to get married in Vail, and after touring many venues in Vail we choose to go with Lions Square Lodge for many reasons!
Megan and team are very professional, she provided a wonderful venue tour, organized lodge condo tours so we’d know we would have enough space in the room we booked for getting ready, and always made sure our day was going to be perfect. This venue is unbeatable for a first look or formal photos on the neighboring gondola and those gorgeous mountain/creek views all night long. We highly recommend and will continue to stay at Lions Square Lodge every visit to Vail! Thank you Megan and team!!!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
