The View Restaurant in Estes Park, Colorado is one of my favorite settings for a wedding and reception with its wall of windows overlooking the green mountain town below. I have eaten there several times and have always been very impressed with the delicious food. One of the gems in Estes Park.
The Historic Crags Lodge is a beautiful and unique location for your wedding for other special event. The staff are friendly and professional and Ptarmigan String Quartet has enjoyed working with them in the past for wedding ceremonies!
