Perfect mountain wedding

The huge deck of the Wild Bear Tavern provided the ideal setting for our daughter's wedding. The Tavern set up chairs and decorations for the ceremony outside with mountaintops in the background. Inside, the Tavern's kitchen staff set up a buffet and beverage service for the guests who could graze and mingle throughout the afternoon. The Staff assisted with menu planning, flower arrangements, background music, a slide show on the big screen TVs, serving food, having a champagne toast, etc. The Staff was personable and professional, and they helped make the occasion a big success.
