Part 2: Wedding Planner's FAM to Beaver Creek/Aspen

On day two, we went to one more local venue, Vista at Arrowhead , a beautiful country club with views of the greens.

Then began the trek up to Aspen, via Colorado Mountain Express. On our way, we stopped for lunch in Wolcott at a the rustic 4 Eagle Ranch with gorgeous views. Tom and Tess treated us with the best chili I have ever tasted before we toured their indoor and outdoor event spaces. With over 60 horses and a tame buffolo, they so dearly named "Reject," this was truley an authentic western venue.

Sarah Reynolds, sreynolds@hjerome.com , took us to The historic Hotel Jerome, in Aspen, this year celebrating its 120th year. Cocktails in the grand ballroom with some fabulous vendors, including Halcyon Productions and Robin Proctor, were followed by a multi-course dinner in the library. I was deeply impressed by the chef who managed to whip up and entirely different, gluten -free, menu for a fellow guest at the last minute.

More drinks followed at The J-Bar as we hoped to catch a glimpse at a frequenting celebrity.
