Planning a Wedding at The 10th Vail

A mountaintop venue like The 10th comes with unique planning considerations, but with the right guidance, those logistics become part of the charm. Here are a few things I help couples navigate when planning a Vail wedding at The 10th:

  • Gondola Scheduling: From first looks to family photos, coordinating gondola rides is essential.
  • Vendor Logistics: Not all vendors are mountain-approved—be sure they’re insured and experienced at altitude.
  • Weather Planning: We’ll prepare for sunshine, rain, or even snow—just in case.
  • Design Customization: Want to bring in specialty rentals, lounge vignettes, or custom draping? Let’s make it happen.
  • Guest Experience: We’ll craft a flow that keeps guests comfortable, wowed, and connected throughout the day.

When you work with a planner familiar with The 10th, like myself, you’ll gain expert insight into creating a seamless and elevated event from start to finish.
