Best place to get married.

We had a truly fantastic experience planning our wedding at the Mountain Lodge Telluride, thanks to the outstanding service provided by the entire team—especially Sam Barnes. I wanted to take a moment to recognize the exceptional support Sam and his team delivered throughout the entire process.

From our very first interaction, Sam was incredibly professional, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to meeting our needs. Every communication was courteous, efficient, and reassuring, making it clear that customer satisfaction is his top priority. I especially appreciated how promptly he responded to our questions and how smoothly he coordinated all the details.

It's rare to encounter such consistently high standards of service, and we are genuinely impressed.

Thank you for making the entire planning process so seamless and enjoyable. We will absolutely be recommending Mountain Lodge Telluride—and Sam in particular—to others!

Don't think -- book!

ML was absolutely perfection! From the beginning, they rolled out the red carpet. When we mentioned we were interested in having our wedding there, they offered to host us in Telluride for a night. They offered a room discount for our guests, and it was amazing staying at the same venue with everyone with the wedding! My family and my husband's family both got cabins, so it was soooo homey -- not just a hotel! But you also get the service of a hotel as opposed to an Airbnb. Absolutely top tier.

In addition to the stay, the ceremony and the reception were at the same location, so it maximized our reception time to avoid traveling from venue to venue -- we just went inside! The venue was gorgeous, the food was delicious, and the service was outstanding both during the wedding day and during the entire stay.

The venue has everything, so no extra rentals are required. Just bring your favorite decorations, and their team will handle the rest! ML also offered Kaitlyn James as the day-of coordinator for an additional fee, and she was KEY for the perfect day! I cannot thank Kaitlyn and the ML team enough!!!!

BONUS: the complimentary shuttle for hotel guests is a nice touch!

Best views, service, staff, and overall experience

If you are lucky enough to consider the Mountain Lodge as your wedding venue, then you should 100% plan your wedding there. Our wedding had ~110 guests, and the Mountain Lodge was able to accommodate our guest count perfectly. We had a seated dinner, with 30 guests seated outside, and the rest inside. The venue itself, the views, the staff, and the food were all incredible. The staff at Mountain Lodge went above and beyond every expectation we had. Sam and Kaitlyn (who are the main wedding / event coordinators) were amazing to work with, and made the whole experience for us. We exchanged countless emails/text messages, and were able to meet with them in person multiple times for tastings and planning sessions. They did everything they possibly could to meet our wants/needs for our wedding day. They went out of their way to bring in specific alcohol we requested, allowed us to add lighting to the pool deck and decorate the pool with flowers, and basically accommodated every request we had. They were always quick to respond to our countless questions, professional, extremely patient, and fun to work with every step of the way. They were also always willing to get creative with us to make sure that our desires were met without exceeding our budget. With the rapidly evolving COVID situation, they always stayed positive and kept us informed about whatever changes were happening in the county. On our wedding day, the staff at Mountain Lodge made us feel like royalty, and all of our guests could not have had a better time. There was never a line at the bar, or an empty drink, and the staff converted the outdoor dinner party to a dance floor seamlessly. The food was delicious, and they were even able to accommodate food allergies/intolerances for our wedding guests. Lastly the views - the views just speak for themselves. It was incredible to eat dinner outside just soaking in the beauty of the San Juans, and all of our guests inside were in awe of their dinner views as well. Additionally, many of our guests stayed at the hotel, and all were very happy with their accommodations. It was also very nice for them to be able to run to their rooms if they forgot something. All in all, the Mountain Lodge is an incredible place to get married and I would do it all over again if I could. They did everything in their power to create and execute our dream wedding day, and we couldn’t recommend this venue more!

Best views, service, food and experience for CO wedding!

Words can't express how grateful we are to have gone with the Mountain Lodge for our wedding venue. For a destination wedding in Telluride, CO everything went perfectly! Sam Barnes, our group coordinator made sure that we and our guests had everything we needed. They were so accommodating with changes around COVID, and ensuring that we made the most of the restrictions. The food was TO DIE FOR!! Most of our guests said this was the best wedding food they'd ever had! The only concern we had was that parking in the resort was a little chaotic. However the Lodge did what was needed to make it right by everyone by valeting cars for us. We've worked with Sam over a year, due to the COVID postponement, and when friends were losing money from their venues by postponing events, the Lodge honored all agreements (even in an "upgraded date"). The views from this resort were amazing! Our wedding was on the pool deck, overlooking Mt Sneffles, and I couldn't have asked for a more scenic backdrop for our photos! I would happily recommend the Lodge as your venue for overall experience, value, views, food and accommodations!

Wonderful experience thanks to Sam

Working with Sam at Mountain Lodge was such a wonderful experience. He was so friendly and kind and very accommodating. He made planning a wedding during 2020 (and reevaluating options) such a pleasant experience. We had the best time, the food and beverages were wonderful and our photos of the reception are stunning. I would highly recommend and we will be staying there on future trips to Telluride!

Ruined my wedding and gave my sister a CONCUSSION

They dropped 8-10 wooden chairs on my sisters head and gave her a concussion!

Wow. Where do I start without writing a novel? THEY DROPPED 8-10 WOODEN CHAIRS ON MY SISTERS HEAD AND GAVE HER A SERIOUS CONCUSSION. Didn’t call the paramedics. She was given a dirty mop rag for ice. When we woke up the next morning the water was dirty. This was not the only guest hurt. Another guest eating in their restaurant had a chair collapse under them. They ended up with bruises all over their legs. The venue is falling apart. When we got there the cabin was filthy. It smelled of dust and had bodily fluid all over the walls in the bathroom. The staff was rude. One even hung up on my sister after they gave her a concussion when she asked for a bell hop to help with bags. The food was a mess as they have a new chef and wouldn’t let us do a second tasting. My husband is a chef and the food was the most important thing. They served the wrong appetizers and the beef was without exaggeration the driest piece of meat I’ve ever had. I couldn’t even swallow it. I have more to say, but the gist is they are not a venue I would recommend. They forgave the rest of our alcohol bill as a sign of good faith so I’ll mention that but there is no way 68 people drank $7.5k worth of alcohol in 6 hours. That would be 11 drinks+ per person so we believe they padded the bill. It took them almost two weeks to send a bill or even address the issues. I was told my wedding would be a “training experience” for their team. My wedding was ruined and I have nothing positive to say about this establishment.
