As soon as we walked into Wild Basin Lodge, we knew the venue was the right place for us and we are so happy we chose them to host our magical day! We knew we wanted a "mountain" wedding and we knew we wanted to keep it intimate. Wild Basin Lodge checked all of the boxes for our requests and then some! The best part of Wild Basin is definitely everyone you will get to work with. Our event coordinator, Lauren is the most amazing person ever and just wish we could get married again so we could continue our communication channel with her. From day one of your wedding planning, rest assured, you will be in the best hands ever.
