Add recon$2,250-$8,500 facility fee by venue, weddings start around $15k all in
- facility fees per Here Comes the Guide: Durango Mountain Institute $2,250 (up to 80 guests), Purgy's $6,000 (150), Dante's $8,500 (200 max, 50-guest minimum) - their own wedding faq says a wedding starts at about $15,000 including the venue fee, ceremony site, transportation between sites, dinner and drinks, and food and beverage minimums vary by guest count and day of week - micro wedding packages for 40 or fewer guests, mondays to thursdays - lift ticket refund policy is strict per reviews, no refunds even for a weather related early close, worth asking if that carries over to event bookings
- one 5 star review was about a private snowshoeing excursion with a guide named dan, not a wedding, but shows they do bookable private experiences - they do run a full weddings program though, seven ceremony and reception spots from Paradise up the chairlift to Dante's at 10,800 feet, booking 2026/2027 now
an Eventective listing gives $2,250-$8,000, didn't get my own quote
their wedding faq says all food and drinks except dessert go through the resort, and you have to bring a wedding planner or at least a day-of coordinator. the Eventective listing gives a $2,250-$8,000 range and 200 person capacity
found a couple negative reviews about the bike park lift only running one chair shared with the coaster and slide, and another complaining the trail signage is confusing for non-locals lol. neither is wedding related. on the wedding side, a summer 2025 couple quoted on their site said event manager Terisa had a let's figure this out attitude and guests loved the chairlift ride up to the Paradise ceremony site
$2,250-$8,000 per a regional pricing guide
the Eventective listing has $2,250-$8,000 with a 200 person capacity and calls out 360 degree mountain views. per their wedding faq, Dante's holds up to 200, Purgy's 150 (less with a band) and the Durango Mountain Institute 80
-big ski/summer resort near durango with on-resort lodging, studios up to five bedroom homes -reviews skew toward the bike park and lift complaints, nothing wedding specific -basic shuttle/chairlift transport to the ceremony sites is included, bigger groups can owe a transport fee. tours run mid june through october weather permitting, and september saturdays book a year plus out
