Additional logistical support

(Charges are determined by the amount of service requested by the wedding party)

Ceremony Seating

Ceremonies may be held inside or outside. Either in front of a crackling fire or with the Selkirk Mountains as your backdrop, you can’t go wrong. The dining room seats up to 60 for your ceremony.

For outdoor ceremonies: Utilize the front lawn or the large white sandy beach to take advantage of our waterfront location.

Inside Chairs provided by Elkins

Outside Rental chairs needed

For outdoor ceremonies

We recommend the rental of a tent. Recommended rental companies are listed on the referral page. A tent provides additional dining seating area as well as inclement weather insurance policy. A tent has been used at most weddings held at Elkins Resort. Listed below are the size options for tents:

20’ x 40’ tent – up to 60 people

40’ x 60’ tent – up to 130 people

40’ x 80’ tent – up to 225 people

40’ x 100’ tent – up to 300 people

There are few things to keep in mind for outdoor ceremonies. A PA system should be used to allow your guests to hear the vows, entrance and exit music. This can be rented from most rental companies. Your band or DJ will also often have this for your use. If you are planning on using a unity candle, bring a hurricane to shield it from the wind. If the wedding party chooses not to rent a tent, guests attending the outdoor ceremony and/or reception may be subject to inclement weather conditions.

Catering

Catering begins at $36 per person. Let us help you create the perfect menu for you and your guests. Sample menus are included in this book and provide a base to start planning with. Bring your ideas to the planning meeting. This information will help us to create a menu that will compliment the wedding party’s tastes and a pleasurable experience for the guests. A sample list of food and wine are included in this packet.

There will be a catering minimum established at the time of booking. A final guest count is due four weeks prior to the wedding/reception. Billing will be based on the catering minimum or number of quoted guests (which ever is more) unless attending guests exceed the quoted number. This number is considered a guarantee and is not subject to reduction. We will set and prepare for attendance up to 5% above your guarantee.

In addition to reception catering, Elkins Resort can cater your rehearsal dinner, Sunday brunch and late night snacks for wedding guests. Guests make a mini-vacation out of their trip and enjoy spending extended time with friends and family.

Tastings are available with a two-week notice where we can facilitate the planning of your dream menu. Some restrictions may apply.

Outside catering companies are not permitted on premise. All catering is done by Elkins Resort.

Decorations

The wedding party needs to meet with Elkins Resort to plan the decorating. There are three options:

The wedding party decorates

Elkins Resort staff decorates

The resort and wedding party decorates

Elkins Resort encourages the wedding party to use their imagination in decorating the facilities for the ceremony and reception. Areas for decoration include, but are not limited to buffet tables, beverage table, cake table, eating tables, tent(s), and lodge interior. Prior approval is required before attaching anything to the inside and outside of the lodge. Candles may be used encased in holders on tables only. Burning candles may not be left unattended. Please no tapered candles as they are a fire risk.

If Elkins staff’s services are desired, a detailed plan must be submitted six weeks prior to the wedding/reception. A cost estimate will be returned within two weeks after the decorating plan is determined.

The decorating party is responsible for providing all necessary tools and equipment, including, but not limited to the following items: Ladders, Staplers, Glue, Extension cords, Scissors and Pens

Flowers are a natural decoration and have been used successfully in accenting the majority of weddings at Elkins Resort. Please see the attached referral list for florists familiar with weddings at Elkins Resort. We are more than happy to make suggestions for placement of flower arrangements.

Wedding Cake

Elkins Resort is happy to refer to cake companies, as we do not bake wedding cakes. We will, however, store and cut them. This ensures the proper yield according to the company baking the cake. We have a cake knife and server on hand or the wedding party may bring these items. Other desserts are available upon request.

Delivery of the wedding cake may occur the day before the ceremony. Please choose your method of transportation wisely! The wedding party is responsible for the set up and assembly of all wedding cakes.

Beverages

Beer, wine, liquor, champagne, soda and punch are among the popular beverage choices for the wedding party to provide for guests. The amount of beverages provided varies among every wedding party. Please see the attached list for current beverage pricing. There are three approaches the wedding party can take: hosted, partially hosted, or non-hosted. Each option is described below.

Hosting

Hosted

By hosting the reception, the wedding party covers the cost of beer, wine, champagne, punch and all cocktails ordered by the guests. A monetary limit may be set prior to your event.

Partially Hosted

The wedding party determines the amount and type of items provided for guests: beer, wine, cocktails, champagne and punch.

Non-Hosted

Guests would be responsible for paying for any beverage they order from the bar.

In accordance with Idaho State liquor laws, beer and hard liquor may not be provided by outside parties. Bottled wine and champagne are the only beverages the wedding party may bring in. If the wedding party brings wine or champagne, there is a corkage fee of $25 per bottle (750 ml). Wine and champagne may be selected either from Elkins’ wine list or special ordered. Wine ordered from our list will be charged according to what is opened at the reception. Special ordered wine is charged by the amount ordered before the reception.

The outdoors creates wonderful opportunities for formal photographs of the wedding party and family. We encourage you to do so before the ceremony. Please keep in mind if formal photographs are to be taken after the ceremony, guests will be eagerly waiting for the wedding party to join the reception. Photographers will often set up an on-site meeting prior to your wedding day to determine locations for photographs.

Photography Music

The wedding party shall arrange all forms of music. The lodge has great acoustics whether you have a live band or DJ. Bands or DJs should be fully set up at least one hour before the ceremony begins. The wedding party is also responsible for reserving accommodations for the band or DJ – if they plan on staying.

Things to keep in mind when determining music:

Before, during and after the ceremony

Type of music

(i.e. live, recorded, band, string quartet, vocal, etc.)

Elkins Resort is not equipped to provide music for the wedding ceremony or reception.

Guest Accommodations

The accommodations at Elkins Resort consist of 29 individual cabins, sleeping up to 200 people. They range in size (up to 3,000 square feet) and sleep between two and fourteen. Each cabin has satellite TV, a full kitchen, bathroom, and living area with bath and kitchen towels provided for weddings. Most have granite fireplaces and commanding views of the Priest Lake. A multi night stay and play experience will allow for your family and friends to truly enjoy your destination wedding experience here at Elkins Resort.

Unless the wedding party is paying for the guest accommodations, invited guests are responsible for making their own reservations.

While here at Priest Lake, take advantage of the area activities. Your guests can play a round of golf at the local 18 hole golf course or take a guided fishing trip. Elkins Resort has rentals including motor boats, canoes, kayaks and snowshoes.

This includes plates, stemware, flatware, and all other items the wedding party requires. The rental of a tent(s) will create enough seating for the reception as well as provide an alternate place for the ceremony if weather is inclement. The size of tent needed depends on the number of people. The location of the tent may vary depending on the view desired by the wedding party during the ceremony.
