As a Planner, I've worked at The Stanley multiple times. The ceremony view is unsurpassed. There are multiple rooms for your wedding reception or rehearsal dinner, depending on the event size. Guests love staying at this historic hotel and doing the ghost tour. Even if I don't have a wedding on site, I send my clients here to tour, dine, and enjoy the movie history. It's a great place to take your guests on your wedding weekend. And for your wedding day, some of my favorite photos have come from The Stanley, it's got beautiful places on site.

As a Planner, I've worked here a lot. I love everything about this place. I love the Pavillion....set up, fireplace, views, ease of getting in/out, parking and the photos are always amazing with the lake and mountains behind you. And with the renovated ballroom, their indoor option is now also very stunning. The food is delicious and they are very good to my clients. I can't say enough good things about this place. Highly recommend.
