Does the hotel offer a discounted guest room block?
If you wish to reserve a block of rooms for your family and guests, please notify your Catering Sales Manager who can provide you with availability and rates. This block of rooms requires a group sales agreement, where 25% of the guest room and current sales tax must be paid in full upon the signing of the contract.
Where does the bridal party get ready before the wedding?
We recommend guest room reservations be made for a minimum two-night length of stay with a check-in date of the night before the wedding and checkout the day after the wedding. This will eliminate the stress on the day of the wedding of having to check in and out of guest rooms.
Can food and beverage be brought in from the outside?
The resort must provide all food and beverage items for your event. The sale and service of alcoholic beverages is regulated by the Colorado Department of Revenue, and The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch is responsible for the administration of those regulations. It is our policy that all alcoholic beverages must be provided by the resort.
What is the resort’s alcohol policy?
The resort’s liquor license prohibits possessing or serving alcoholic beverages on property that were not purchased by The Ritz-Carlton, Bachelor Gulch through a licensed liquor distributor.
Please explain the food and beverage minimum.
The food and beverage minimum is the least amount of money that you are required to spend on a combination of food and beverage, excluding service charge and sales tax, but is not all that you could spend. The food and beverage minimum is reached by selecting individually priced, à la carte menu items to equal or exceed the required dollar figure.
The following examples would apply toward the food and beverage minimum:
Hors d’oeuvres, food display and carving stations, plated or buffet meal, wedding cake, dessert display stations, wine service with the meal, champagne toast, the bar (including alcohol), specialty station and any non-alcoholic beverages.
Centerpieces, upgraded linens/china/silverware, décor, and specialty lighting would not apply toward the food and beverage minimum.
When do I need to finalize my menu?
Food and beverage selections must be finalized and confirmed with your Special Event Manager a maximum of 6-8 weeks prior to the date of your wedding.
When do I need to let the hotel know exactly how many guests will be attending my event?
The Catering department must be notified of the exact number of guests attending a function at least 72 working hours prior to the start of the event. This will be considered a guarantee, for which you will be charged, even if fewer guests attend the event.
