Alana and Arik’s kicked off their wedding weekend in style with a western-inspired welcome dinner at Montage Deer Valley. Since their wedding would also be held at the Montage and most guests were staying at the hotel, the couple chose this venue for convenience and ease, allowing guests to relax and celebrate without the need to travel.

The vibe

The event perfectly blended casual charm and elegance, setting the tone for the weekend’s festivities. Guests were greeted with a variety of food stations, delicious cocktails, and lawn games, creating a relaxed, fun atmosphere.

Whiskey barrel cocktail tables and bar-height dining tables gave the evening a rustic saloon vibe, while leather and rawhide lounge areas enhanced the western aesthetic. Vibrant floral arrangements added a pop of color to the rustic decor, striking the perfect balance between western charm and refined design.

The evening concluded with heartfelt toasts and s’mores by the fire, creating a cozy, intimate end to the perfect pre-wedding celebration.
