  • Dreamy Fall Wedding at BDL

    Elizabeth and L.Feb 13, 2023

    My husband and I got married at The Black Diamond Lodge last October and I can't speak highly enough about this venue! The aspen grove was everything we had dreamed of for our ceremony site, and the lodge itself felt cozy and intimate for our reception. We also loved that we could stay at the lodge for the whole weekend with our wedding party and close family. The Black Diamond Lodge team is also amazing to work with - especially Amber - and they turned our romantic, fall wedding vision into a reality better than we could have ever imagined. We are so grateful to have found the perfect venue for our day. Highly recommend The Black Diamond Lodge!

  • Beautiful venue and wonderful hosts

    Alfie and L.Jan 23, 2023

    We were looking for a venue to gather friends and family in the mountains for a whole wedding weekend, from day-before hikes to a ceremony site and then late-night fire pit. Finding all of that, plus good catering (thanks Blake!) and a newly remodeled accommodations all in one place truly made our planning easy. Most importantly: Rose and Amber were wonderful, helping us not only with details at the lodge but finding great vendors, arranging last-minute transportation, and generally rolling with all the surprises for a stress-free weekend. We'll be back to visit!
