No two love stories are the same, and The Overlook makes it easy to personalize each event with thoughtful design elements. Couples can choose from Classic, Choice, or Elite packages, each offering a balance of structure and flexibility.

These personalized touches elevate the celebration from beautiful to truly memorable. The Overlook’s planning experts are available every step of the way to help couples align their design with the venue’s natural surroundings for a cohesive and stunning look.
Seasonal beauty is one of The Overlook’s greatest strengths. Spring offers fresh air, while autumn brings vibrant mountain colors that add a natural richness to every photo. Thanks to the climate-controlled indoor space, couples can plan confidently for any time of year without sacrificing guest comfort.
The in-house catering also allows seasonal flavors to be incorporated into the menu, enhancing the overall sensory experience of the wedding day.

By leaning into the time of year, couples ensure their celebration feels rooted in both place and moment.
How a wedding ends is just as important as how it begins. The Overlook offers grand exit options that make the final moments truly memorable. A helicopter lift-off or vintage car send-off is more than a photo; they’re storytelling moments that close the celebration in cinematic style.

With planning support and vendor coordination included in every package, couples can confidently choose the ending that fits their story best. These signature exits add a final touch of elegance and excitement that keeps the celebration alive in guests’ hearts long after the night ends.
