Elizabeth Edwards(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 05-10-2018 The Silverpick Lodge was the PERFECT venue for a weekend wedding. Chris, Neal, and the rest of the staff are incredibly skilled at what they do. We were able to do as much as we wanted to ourselves and they assisted when necessary. The lodge and meadow are absolutely gorgeous and nearly everyone attending the wedding was able to stay on site or nearby at Purgatory Resort. We had our reception dinner at The Sow’s Ear and the food was amazing. If you’re looking for a truly incomparable experience for your wedding definitely check out the Silverpick. We can’t wait to come back for our anniversary! Reviewed on 04-11-2018
Samantha Harris(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 10-06-2017 The Silverpick Lodge is the perfect place for a destination wedding with a party of around 40 people! The lodge is the perfect mix of luxury and practicality. The bedrooms are lovely with hotel style on-suite bathrooms. The common areas are perfect for meals and game nights with your group. As an added bonus, the lodge is located in a beautiful yet easily accessible location -- you can see the San Juan Mountains right out your windows! There are several fantastic hikes within a mile of the lodge. If you choose to rent the SilverPick, you can use a beautiful space in the lawn for your ceremony free of charge! The lodge even provides the chairs and sets them up for you. You can rent the restaurant, the Sow's Ear, for your reception. My gosh, it is such a beautiful venue. The food at the Sow's Ear is simply delicious! The restaurant staff was fantastic through the whole process. Reviewed on 22-08-2017
Mandy Magill(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 09-10-2016 My husband and I reserved the Silverpick Lodge for 3 nights over our wedding weekend in October 2016. I'm from a town near Durango and my mom lives near Silverpick Lodge, so I've been eyeing the lodge as a possible wedding venue for a while as I've always found it beautiful and in an amazing location! Chris Wing at the Silverpick Lodge is great to work with and is super relaxed about things, so it’s a no-stress situation. The lodge is incredibly charming and cozy—it was a perfect place to have everyone be together and make amazing memories! Very highly recommended!! :) Reviewed on 18-11-2016
Megan Tuthill(bride)5 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 01-01-1970 The Silverpick Lodge is a great venue! It is small enough to feel intimate yet big enough to allow the majority of you guests to stay the weekend! I would definitely recommend it for brides that want to take the driving out of the wedding day! The ceremony site, reception site, and lodging are all in one beautiful location! If you want things a certain way you are going to have to do it but they seem to let guests do whatever they wish! Reviewed on 09-09-2014
Ashley Babcock(bride)4 out of 5 Rating Wedding Date 18-09-2010 This place is PERFECT for holding a wedding! You, your friends, and family get free roam of the place ALL weekend and that way no one has to drive, so everyone can focus on having a good time! We had a wild crowd that partied till 5am both Friday and Saturday! We had a ton of fun and everyone commented that it was the one of the most fun weddings they had been to. I would have given it 5 stars but they don't allow dogs and that was tough since our dog was the ring bearer! Reviewed on 05-10-2010
