Your Guide to a Vail Mountain Wedding

Vail is a perfect mountain setting for any wedding; the town offers an abundance of activities for your guests during every season, the location is easily accessible for out of town guests traveling from Denver International Airport and did we mention the scenery? You will celebrate your love in one of the world’s most gorgeous settings, with the majestic panoramic views of the Vail Valley and Gore Mountain Range as a backdrop to all of your festivities.

Solaris Residences is an ideal home base for wedding guests, especially with the Solaris Personal Assistants, who are committed to providing visitors with a stress-free and customized experience. Personal Assistants are available to take care of tasks prior to arrival such as grocery shopping, spa reservations, mountain bike rentals and more, making it simple for guests who may not be familiar with the area to get the most out of their trip. Additionally, guests have access to Solaris’ resort-style amenities, which include a private spa with three treatment rooms, a fitness facility, childcare and a heated indoor pool with hot tub.

Furthermore, the accommodations at Solaris aren’t just guestrooms, they are true Residences. Ranging in size from a 1,000 sq. ft. studio to a 6,500 sq. ft. six-bedroom plus den penthouse, the Residences are ideal when trying to accommodate extended families and various generations. Kids will love the bunk rooms; and grandparents and other family members will love the opportunity to stay in one spacious unit, and spend time with loved ones by sharing a gourmet kitchen, laundry room and family room, but still enjoy the comfort of individual bathrooms and amenities. And, with a location in the heart of Vail Village, all of your guests can easily walk anywhere they’d like to go!

The views of Vail Mountain from Matsuhisa are also stunning and help to set the mood for a mountain wedding.
