Golf tournament for your wedding weekend?

This is a great deal here at Northstar! Check it out:

A Cinderella Story

OK, seriously? This was too ironic. And let me preface that there is no disrespect to Princess Beatrice of York and Princess Eugenie of York, but I could not resist a little Royal Wedding humor this late on a Friday afternoon!

New! Online lodging reservation system for your guests!

Ta daaaaah!!! Online lodging reservations for groups are now available. If you have a Northstar lodging webpage, we will revise it shortly for you. Otherwise please update your personal wedding web sites and / or save the dates with: www.northstarattahoe.com/groupreservations.

Ceremony Arch or ???

One of our Northstar grooms plans to build a Chuppah for his Wedding- brilliant! So, when he asked me for ideas, I dug through my photos from the past few years and thought I could share some inspiration with you too!

Winter Wedding Wonderland!

Wow, how breathtaking is this Northstar Wedding produced by Scott Corridan Design ? Congratulations to the gorgeous Christina and her new husband Karl! Plus a HUGE thank you to Viera Photographics for these fabulous images- outstanding!

St. Patrick's Day Wedding!

Top o' the morning to you! Last night we had the most adorable St. Patrick's Day Wedding. It had just snowed the day before so the white trees made a spectacular backdrop for the ceremony. The groom and groomsmen made a splashy entrance on skis and snowboards, and the black and green reception rocked at TC's Pub. I think Sarah and Jake have a lot of luck in their future- congratulations you two! xoxo

Marriages that LAST begin at Northstar!

Love is in the air at Northstar Resort this Valentine's Day and apparently it sticks! This real Northstar Wedding was celebrated on August 19, 1989 courtesy of our very own on-site wedding coordinator: Sharon Fontes, AKA Praetzel. Not only does she still work here, but she is still married to this dashing young man! Here are some of the fun details:

Officiant: Dan Holzer (he is on our recommended list still)

Northstar Coordinator: Connie Blair (she is a Director here now)

Gown: Jessica McClintock (Sharon just found it again and wants to do something fun with it, anybody have ideas?)

Flower Girl waving to her Mommy: Sharon's niece who just had her first baby. Congratulations Andrea!

The groom also worked at Northstar at one time as a groomer in the winter...small world.

Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing you two- your photos are super sweet and loving! Happy 22nd Valentine's Day as husband and wife!
