Went here a couple weeks ago to witness my friend's wedding, and we are so in love with the place and the view! We all had a great time and great-delicious food. Everything was perfect, and probably one of my favorite times of the year!

As a wedding photographer I've been lucky enough to photograph a number of weddings here! Wild Basin Lodge is AWESOME. The grounds are beautiful, and right along the edge of Rocky Mountain national park. The staff are all absolutely wonderful. They're fantastic people, and constant professionals. I really couldn't ask for anything else from a vendor or couple perspective!

Finding the right words for this venue is hard. For November 18th, the views were stunning and my day was pure magic. My coordinators, Hawley, Jenn and Lauren we amazing and made the day move flawlessly. They worked with us in so many ways and would always answer my millions of questions within 24hrs. The food was outstanding, the price was so reasonable, the staff was super helpful and everything about it was perfection. Thank you for giving us the best day of our lives ?

Gorgeous venue with incredible views. They only do one wedding a day so no crowds or confusion. Best of all they have a set up and breakdown option which allows the family more freedom and less stress!Absolutely the most professional and nicest folks. My daughter is on a short time table and they have been both responsive and helpful. They treat you like family. Will keep you updated as this progresses.

Could not have asked for a better venue or team to work with for our wedding. Hawley was there from the beginning and provided a constant support from the day we walked away from our tour to the venue. The team as Wild Basin is very knowledgeable, supportive and ready to help make your day everything you dreamed of! The venue itself is a perfect setting for both indoors and outdoors and was everything we could have asked for. The food was amazing and the drinks were great as well!

As a professional event planner, I hold high standards when it comes to rating venues. That being said, my experience at Wild Basin Lodge was nothing short of exceptional. I wholeheartedly recommend this venue, and I say this with utmost enthusiasm: run, don't walk, to Wild Basin Lodge.Nestled on the edge of Rocky Mountain National Park, this venue not only offers a breathtaking backdrop, but it also provides a tailored, private experience delivered by a top-notch team.When choosing a wedding venue, we had specific criteria in mind. We wanted a space that wouldn't be shared with another wedding and a team that could transform our vision into reality without breaking the bank. Moreover, we aimed to minimize the number of vendors we had to coordinate with, seeking a convenient one-stop-shop experience. Wild Basin Lodge exceeded our expectations in every way.From the moment we started planning, the team at Wild Basin Lodge made the entire process seamless. Working with them was a dream, and they were genuinely committed to bringing our vision to life. I must give special recognition to Hawley Vining, whose professionalism and ease of communication were truly exceptional. Hawley served as our point of contact from start to finish, ensuring that our day unfolded just as we had envisioned. This consistency ensured that our vision was never lost in translation, a rare luxury in event planning. Hawley's presence from setup through dinner service on our wedding day further guaranteed that everything ran smoothly. Although we had an additional day-of wedding coordinator, it's worth noting that the Wild Basin Lodge team had the situation well under control.As a self-proclaimed type A personality with a propensity for handling everything myself, I was initially hesitant to delegate. However, the trust and confidence that Hawley and the Wild Basin Lodge team instilled in me made it easy to hand over all responsibilities on our wedding day. This level of trust is a rarity in my line of work, and it allowed me to enjoy a stress-free day.Now that our wedding day is a cherished memory, we couldn't be happier with our choice of Wild Basin Lodge and Hawley as our hosts. The day proceeded without a hitch, and the Lodge's stunning backdrop provided the setting for the most beautiful wedding photos. In fact, I wish I could relive our wedding day repeatedly, as it was nothing short of perfect.While our overall experience was outstanding, it wouldn't be a genuine review without offering some constructive feedback. Our only point of dissatisfaction pertained to the wine selection. While we certainly don't claim to be sommeliers, we do possess a reasonable knowledge of wine. We found that the quality of the wine offerings didn't quite align with the pricing included in our package, and the pricing for special requests was notably higher than the industry standard. However, it's worth noting that, in the grand scheme of the day, nobody at our wedding had any significant complaints about the wine selection.In conclusion, I couldn't recommend Wild Basin Lodge more wholeheartedly, and I sincerely hope that every couple has the opportunity to experience the same magical and memorable day that we did.

We loved our fall wedding at WBL! The staff is very caring and willing to work with you in any way they can to make your dream wedding. We had a couple of miscommunications, and they were happy to accommodate. My only critique would be that, when we got married, it seemed like they were so busy that some little things were forgotten or overlooked. For the most part, they were great with all the big and little details, but I wish they had reached out to us a bit more the month before the wedding to confirm vendors and schedules. Otherwise, the views were phenomenal, all our guests raved about the food, and the staff are great at what they do.

Wild Basin Lodge was the perfect venue for our wedding! The setting is unmatched, and the staff that work there are the best. Emily, our coordinator was wonderful and was there throughout the planning process to help answer any questions and to keep things moving throughout our wedding day.Additionally, the venue does so much to help in the wedding planning process. They have a list of some of the best vendors you can choose from (all of which are amazing) and provide a checklist to help you stay on track with the planning. They even had great suggestions for things like places to stay and rehearsals dinners.All in all, you can’t go wrong picking Wild Basin for your wedding venue!

We could not have asked for a more perfect wedding day at Wild Basin Lodge. The venue is absolutely gorgeous, the staff are AMAZING, the food is delicious, and they do such a great job helping you coordinate and plan your wedding to make sure it is the perfect day and exactly the way you want. We had so much fun working with the team at Wild Basin Lodge and couldn’t be more grateful for everything they did for us. They are so easy to work with and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you so much for everything WBL!!

We attended a wedding here and were so impressed with the venue! The wedding took place outside the lodge by the river. There was a specific spot set up for weddings with the backdrop of the river and the beautiful aspen trees that were changing colors. It was obvious that this wedding venue knows what they are doing. Every detail was covered and the bride and groom's family could relax. The decorations were lovely and you can tell they were well thought out. The dinner was magnificent and beautifully presented. The cake was exquisite and reflected the personality of the bride. All preparations were in tiptop shape at the reception. It was well organized and went smoothly.

Hawley Vining and the team at Wild Basin Lodge were amazing. The stress and worry of planning and executing the wedding was made so much easier by Hawley. She walked us through step by step what we needed to get done and what were to expect day of the wedding, she set up calls with us and did in person meetings to make sure we were all ready and prepared so when the day came the only thing we had to worry about was doing our part day of the wedding.That doesn’t even begin to cover how beautiful the venue is. If you are like us and love the mountains there is no better to place to get married than in the meadow right under the mountains. We had wildflowers in the fields and beautiful views behind us. Our friends who have never been in the Rockies before were blown away.The food was great, the dancing was amazing, and don’t forget to ask about the llamas!

We knew Wild Basin was our wedding venue from the moment we went to take a tour. The views and spaces are breathtaking and the staff is welcoming and helpful. The mountain charm of the building, along with the rushing river and meadow views make it feel like a home away from home. Our wedding was well executed due to the detailed planning meetings and information given by the Wild Basin staff! They make getting married in such an amazing landscape even better than we could’ve asked for! The food was incredible and guests loved the time out on the decks with beautiful views and great cocktails! If you’re looking for a casual yet elegant mountain wedding, this is the place for you!

We had our wedding at Wild Basin in June 2023, and it was absolutely amazing. We would recommend it to anyone who is looking for an outdoor mountain venue. The venue is stunning of course but Jenn and Hawley really made the day special for us. They supported us through the whole planning process from finding vendors to setting our timeline. It was a perfect balance of giving us resources (most of what we needed for the day was included in the venue package) but also leaving room for flexibility if we wanted to do something different. They had everything we needed and were so nice about accommodating last minute requests. And not least of all, the WBL team made us feel like they were genuinely invested in our wedding and making it feel special. We love Jenn and Hawley, they are amazing!!
