The Summit at Snowbird Wedding Information & Cost
Venues are always changing their pricing and policies, so the information in this blog may be out-of-date. But as of February 2023 when I’m writing this…
The Summit at Snowbird is such an incredible mountain venue. You and your guests will take a tram up to 11,000 feet elevation. Once you are there, the views are incredible and the building itself is new and iconic.
The Summit is available year-round. In the Summer, the Tram is open to the public 11am-8pm. In the Winter, the first wedding tram is available 4:30pm and events can be from 5:00 – 10:00pm. Skiing down the mountain after a winter ceremony may be arranged for expert skiiers only.

Snowbird requests that wedding vendors are selected from their Preferred Vendors List. If a vendor is selected that is not on the Preferred List, Snowbird asks to be notified in advance. Vendors must provide proof of worker’s compensation insurance and proof of adequate general liability coverage while on Snowbird’s premises. They must also comply with all other requirements that Snowbird deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, regarding use of function space, facilities and use of Snowbird services. Damage to Snowbird premises by the Group’s Vendors will be the Group’s responsibility.
Weddings at The Summit are required to secure a Wedding Planner selected from the Snowbird Preferred Vendor List.
We provide all of the onsite food and beverage. An outside wedding cake may be delivered from a licensed bakery. An outside wedding cake fee will be charged per guest. There is no additional cake cutting fee if the wedding cake is provided by the Snowbird Bakery.
There are five lodging options within the Snowbird village – the cliff lodge, the cliff club condominiums, The Lodge at Snowbird, The Inn at Snowbird, and The Iron Blosam Lodge.
Booking your wedding at the Summit comes with a complimentary night stay at Snowbird for the wedding couple, preferred lodging rates for guests throughout the resort, complimentary Cliff Lodge Spa access for guests staying on lodging block, preferred pricing for spa treatments & discount summer or winter activity or lift passes.
Dogs are not allowed in Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Snowbird recommends inviting guests to access the Tram one hour prior to the ceremony. Tram trips will increase during guest load up times, then remain on the hour and half hour until the end of the wedding event for tram departures. Snowbird cannot accommodate private Trams during public hours. Tram operator may request shuttle to The Cliff Lodge for guests departing The Summit.
The tram can carry 100 people at a time and is a 12-minute ride every 30 minutes.
