Check out this amazing rehearsal lunch (yes lunch, not dinner!) at the Piney River Ranch in the White River National Forest. The ranch is approx 45 minutes from Vail and 30 from Beaver Creek…. only about 11 miles away but a windy dirt road the entire trip! We planned this lunch for a couple that wanted their guests to really experience all that Colorado has to offer. And boy, does Piney River allow for that! The setting is AMAZINGLY beautiful…. beyond words, actually. The rehearsal lunch was simple, yet elegant – set under an open air canopy.

Lunch was casual – a buffet with grilled chicken sandwiches, pasta salad, corn on the cob, fruit salad and brownies for dessert. Guests were treated to an open bar stocked with Colorado Microbrews, wine and liquor.

After lunch, the guests could kayak, canoe or hike – the goal was for them to be able to enjoy the beautiful scenery. It truly was an intimate, unpretentious and extremely special event.

I will let the pictures speak for themselves!
