Couples increasingly find resort the perfect matrimonial destination

North America’s premiere residential mountain community is hosting more weddings this year than ever before. Heading into wedding season, June through September, when a large   majority of American weddings take place, The Lodge & Spa at   Cordillera is seeing triple the number of bookings over past years.   And The Club at Cordillera, with three private clubhouses available   for weddings, is booked to capacity. “We’re slammed for the entire year,” says Kirsten Goodman, sales and   catering manager for The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera, listing the   resort’s picturesque mountain locations, renowned luxury and service   and profound sense of privacy as several reasons for success. “And   this place, with the inspiring views, really sells itself. Couples   feel at Cordillera, the sky’s the limit.” Nestled high above the Vail Valley within more than 7,000 acres of   Colorado High Country ranch land, Cordillera is North America’s premiere residential mountain community, the epitome of casual mountain living with a twist of refinement. Recently named “No.1 hotel for service and cuisine in Colorado” by   Conde Nast Traveler, The Lodge & Spa at Cordillera is an ideal wedding   destination with a variety of ceremony and reception venues, including   a charming Cordillera Gazebo, a beautifully landscaped lawn and a   private pool area — all with stunning views of the Vail Valley and the   snowcapped peaks of the Gore and Sawatch ranges. The Lodge offers the amenities of a AAA Four Diamond hotel — an award-  winning restaurant, a 20,000-square-foot Spa and an elegant ballroom   that can seat up to 200 people, for example — in a relatively intimate, mountain chateau setting. With just 56 rooms, the entire hotel, or a wing of rooms, can be booked by families seeking the utmost in privacy. The Club at Cordillera, meanwhile, with ceremony and reception venues   at Timber Hearth Grille, The Summit clubhouse and The Trailhead   clubhouse, offers couples with up to 400 guests and family members the   experience of enjoying a wedding as a part of a special club. And with only one wedding per day booked at any of Cordillera’s   venues, add the luxury of flexibility on wedding day. “While anyone can book these facilities, each one of them has the feel   of a private club,” says Kirstin Shepherd, catering and sales manager   for The Club at Cordillera, adding about half of all weddings at the   Club involve member families. “The venue at Cordillera was a dream come true for a wedding location   because of the view, the flowers, the friendly staff at Timber   Hearth,” adds Barb Sexton, the mother of Cora Wheeler, a recent   Cordillera bride. “We especially appreciated that everyone was   enthused about our celebration, which made our experience the best.” Both the Lodge and the Club offer extensive hospitality options,   including the menus and staffs of the award-winning Mirador and Timber   Hearth Grille restaurants, horse-drawn carriage or sleigh rides by   Bearcat Stables, world-class recreational opportunities and luxurious   bridal suites. Each can be custom tailored to make any wedding a   unique, unforgettable event. “It all happened with such casual elegance, and Cordillera made it   easy,” says Anita Grantham of Phoenix, a visitor to the resort   community who scheduled her recent wedding to future husband JB at   Cordillera after attending a friend’s wedding there. “We felt at home.   They make you feel like you own the place.” For more information, visit <a href="http://www.cordilleracolorado.com" target="_blank">www.cordilleracolorado.com</a>. 9 application/xml false Cordillera destination weddings dining entertainment lodging venues wedding services Weddings in Vail Cordillera Wedding Venue in the Vail Valley http://www.cordilleracolorado.com Weddings in Vail Resource for Vail Valley destination weddings http://www.weddingsinvail.com Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_4_11; en) AppleWebKit/525.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.1.2 Safari/525.22 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 kjohnson 63.225.107.68 false true false false true 198512 false false true false false false true 190649 blog blogsite/VailValleyPartnership/web
