2023 Bride - 5/5 stars! We celebrated our wedding at the newly renovated Stanley Hotel Pavilion, and it was a fantastic and seamless experience. The wedding department has undergone a revamp, and everyone was genuinely a pleasure to work with! Crystal and Tripp, the venue directors, were unequivocally the best and most responsive team. They maintained a can-do attitude and not only accommodated every request but were also exceptionally prompt with all their follow-ups. They sincerely wanted us to have the wedding of our dreams. A special shout-out goes to Crystal; she is amazing and felt like a friend throughout the process! With a 280-person wedding, the venue was spacious, flowed well, and was just all around fun. It really is an all-in-one venue. I didn't want guests shifting throughout the day. The flow from the ceremony straight into the cocktail hour, upstairs for dinner, and then back down for dancing was AMAZING. The bridal suite for getting ready was a perfectly added touch and made for a relaxing morning, as once we were there, we didn't have to worry about moving. Finally, the showstopper was their "garage door" of windows in front of the aisle, when our guests saw that open up, it truly was a movie moment. It was an incredible place to get married, and I genuinely wish I could do it all over again. :) Book now and save yourself from looking any further!

I booked my wedding with the Stanley Hotel back in August of 2019, long before COVID hit. During the course of 2020 and 2021, I postponed my wedding twice in hopes of getting past COVID restrictions. By the time the actual event rolled around, I was faced with many challenges including changes to my specific venue space in the Stanley due to renovations, a need for last minute catering changes, and more. Thanks to Crystal Blaskis, the Stanley’s new Director of Events and Operations, we were able to turn a very challenging situation into awesomely successful wedding at the Stanley Hotel.

After she joined the Stanley Hotel team in 2022, Crystal started working her magic almost immediately. She explained the changed venue situation, was deeply apologetic, and brought me out to the Stanley to walk me through my options. She showed me my alternative venue (which was LOVELY and frankly, far better than my original venue at no extra cost) and took me through every detail to make me feel safe and assured that I would not be alone with these changes. She understood the magnitude of the shifts we would have to make as well given that we were only 6+ months out from my wedding date (during one of the most busy wedding years in recent history). And she was such a delight through it all. Always kind, compassionate, clear in her explanations, and willing to go the extra mile.

Crystal not only helped smooth the transition of the venue, but she also went above and beyond to help me find a new caterer — even going so far as to reach out to her personal contacts, communicating on my behalf, and giving valued advice along the way. Without Crystal, I never would have found the amazing caterer that we did, which ended up being one of the biggest hits of the wedding. Even with all her help, the changes were incredibly stressful, so I can’t even imagine what would have happened without her.

Crystal was organized, thorough, experienced, efficient, and so so sweet. She was prompt in responding to my emails and did everything she could to advocate for me and my needs throughout the process, which meant the world to me. I felt safe that I was in good hands with her on my side, no matter what curve balls were thrown. She was literally a godsend for this wedding and I couldn’t have pulled it off without her. Most of my wedding guests spent 3 or 4 days up at the Stanley, including synchronized reservations and details that would have fallen apart without her. The venue was stunning, the grounds were beautiful, and we all had an absolutely unforgettable time. This event is still being raved about to this day and I have her to thank for helping me pull it off. If you’re looking to get married at the Stanley, you’ll be in really good hands with Crystal.

Let me start off by saying that 2020 was the worst year to plan an elopement/wedding., Shannon Faith was amazing at helping me through this! She was always very prompt at emailing me back and answering my questions. We were supposed to get married outside The Stanley, but we changed it the day before to the Billiard Pinon Room. Shannon walked me through me all of the available rooms/spaces and went above and beyond to make what I wanted happen. We were treated like royalty during our stay. Everything was absolutely perfect and I’m so glad we chose this venue. If you want to get married in a place of amazing history surrounded by incredible views, look no further!
