No formal quote, a regional guide lists $5,850-$10,975 for a wedding here

Their own site posts the 8-hour usage fee by day of week along with the deposit terms: 50% of the rental is due up front and is non-refundable, plus a separate $500 damage deposit refunded 45 days after your event. A Function Information Form covering your caterer and any subcontractors is required before the day.

A reddit commenter called this one of the more budget friendly options in Vail for a lot of bang for your buck, especially compared to the area's luxury venues. Reviews from working vendors (a videographer and a florist both left reviews) praise the outdoor ceremony area by the river and say the staff run things like clockwork.
