Historic Summit Inn Resort

any couple looking for a beautiful wedding day in the mountains!

of (by the time August came around, there were quite a lot of them), and made sure that we had everything we wanted or needed for the reception, no matter how unique the request. We were even able to create our signature drink, a mango margarita, which got rave reviews from guests. We had quite a few meetings to make sure all the boxes were checked, from napkin colors to planning the order of events at the reception. The Summit Inn is lovingly maintained and has a wonderful historic charm. Our rooms were spotless, and the views from the veranda were incredible. Out of town guests marveled at the location. Multiple guests commented that the food was some of the best they’ve ever had at a wedding, and we had a difficult time choosing at our tasting because the kitchen is truly wonderful. We ended up choosing the Salmon and Chicken Cordon Bleu and they were both delicious. I have Celiac Disease, and we had many other guests with other allergies. Mandy made sure that notes were made for each table that needed an accommodation so that the kitchen knew to make safe and delicious food for everyone. The entire staff was attentive and warm throughout the evening. I was also able to have a breakfast/mimosa cart for my bridesmaids while we got ready in the bridal suite the morning of the wedding, which was wonderful and fresh. Before the reception, we were taken by golf cart to the treehouse for photos, which I highly recommend for anyone celebrating at the Summit Inn. Overall, I could not have asked for more, and I think the photos can attest to how incredible the ballroom looked that night. The Historic Summit Inn is a real gem for an elegant event in the mountains.

ght where she left off in the last three months before our wedding. Everyone was absolutely amazing, from promptly responding to my endless emails, to the food tasting, and final planning meeting, everything was perfect. We had our ceremony on the pool patio and reception in the Edison Ballroom. Even though our wedding was generally small (55 guests), the larger ballroom didn't look empty. The kids had a blast running and sliding onto the dance floor and nobody was cramped, which is great in the times of social distancing. Ultimately, we spent a little more than we wanted to, but I wouldn't change a thing. My only minor complaint is that the Summit staff didn't communicate with my day-of coordinators, who I hired to take care of the smaller things (pointing other vendors in the right direction, keeping with the timeline, traying cookies, finishing up the centerpieces when the florist arrived, replenishing the cookies/dessert table) while the Summit staff took care of the bigger picture. When my MOH saw the Summit staff traying cookies, I checked my invoice to make sure we weren't charged for it, as we had specifically asked them not to (a $200 charge). The Summit staff also stated that my vendors would not be receiving a meal after I had paid for them to receive one; this may have just been a misunderstanding, but I know I had communicated multiple times that I would have four vendor meals. Everything worked out and nobody told me what had happened until after the fact (rule #1: don't rile up the bride on the wedding day) so all's well that ends well. Other than that little blunder with my coordinators, I have nothing but good things to say about the Summit. The staff were absolutely amazing to work with and it was the perfect place to say our vows. If you are considering the Summit, definitely make an appointment to meet with the events staff. When we went in 2019, we knew immediately it would be our venue just by looking at that amazing view. If you book, definitely book the bridal suite too. We had friends over for drinks the night before the wedding and it was more than enough space to get ready.
