First of all, this is NOT a ski/snowboard review, this is a wedding review!

We had our wedding at Granite Peak Sundance Chalet in July. It is a GORGEOUS space with giant windows and just the best lighting! It has plenty of parking and plenty of space! Now…why 2 stars.

The wedding coordinator is horrific. At first, she is super nice, helpful, etc., but the couple months leading up to the day was annoying. I would email her numerous times asking questions and she would call me and answer them. Now at first I didn’t think anything of it, but I shortly figured it out - no conversation is documented then, which is exactly what she wants. When setting up, we blew numerous breakers and she was no where in sight to fix them, we had to fix them on our own. Our DJ needed more stuff and the wifi password for protective measures and she refused to get it out. They charge you an absurd amount of money in the first place, with nothing included. We were fine paying it, but then expect service to be top notch. We requested four bartenders and the coordinator and another bartender worked only (miscommunication on my end) - BUT the coordinator was also bartending and collecting tips AFTER we paid the bartenders 19% automatically. Oh, and I had to wait in line numerous times as the bride because she wasn’t behind the bar. The air conditioning went out and she just kept saying “they are working on it” - which they were, but we paid a large amount of money for the air to be on. When ordering the alcohol, she didn’t order enough whatsoever and then said we wouldn’t pay for extras or keep them and then charged us for extra wine bottles that we came home with! She wasn’t able to provide a detailed receipt for the bar, which is suspicious when the bar bill is over $6,000 AND she is the coordinator AND collecting tips ON TOP of 19%. Overall, she is a nightmare to work with and caused stress on the day before and the day of the event. Our lights set up by her recommended vendor weren’t high enough she goes “what do you want me to do about it” - quite honestly the amount of times I heard that on my wedding day was a joke.

The best part: I went to ask her a question about the wifi and she stated she was with a bride for 2024 - I was like well I am a bride for tomorrow, and I feel like that is important.

Overall, 2 starts for the BEAUTIFUL AND EXPENSIVE venue, but all the docked stars are due to the horrific event coordination. Our day was still perfect, just elements could have been avoid for the price you pay! It’s one of the most expensive venues in the area.
