We specialize in the outdoor wedding experience utilizing the natural beauty of the Selkirk Mountains, Priest Lake, and our lakefront location on Reeder Bay.

Elkins Resort on Priest Lake has been a family tradition since 1932. Recently named one of Sunset Magazine’s top ten lakeside resorts in the west, we offer the only year-round, cedar log cabin destination in the heart of the beautiful Selkirk mountain range. Nestled in Idaho’s panhandle, Elkins Resort is a short 90-minute drive from Spokane International Airport.

Ceremonies are located on the front lawn of the lodge or on the beach overlooking Priest Lake. Combine our award winning culinary staff with the natural beauty of the Selkirk Mountains and our lodge’s lakefront location; you have the ideal outdoor wedding experience. Our staff will work closely with you to make certain that everything is perfect for your special day.

Ceremonies of up to 130 people may be held inside or outside. Ceremonies of more than 130 people are held outside. Listed below are the seating options for ceremonies:

Inside seated up to 100 people Elkins Resort chairs in dining room

Inside standing and seated up to 130 people In lounge

Outside Rental chairs needed

The dining room consists of 17 tables seating up to 85 and the lounge consists of 12 tables seating up to 45 people. Elkins lodge accommodates up to 130 people for indoor seating.

For outdoor ceremonies we recommend the rental of a tent. Recommended rental companies are listed on the referral page. A tent provides additional dining seating area as well as inclement weather insurance policy. A tent has been used at most weddings held at Elkins Resort. Listed below are the size options for tents:

20’ x 40’ tent – up to 60 people




There are few things to keep in mind for outdoor ceremonies. A PA system should be used to allow your guests to hear the vows, entrance and exit music. This can be rented from most rental companies. Your band or DJ will also often have this for your use. If you are planning on using a unity candle, bring a hurricane to shield it from the wind. If the wedding party chooses not to rent a tent, guests attending the outdoor ceremony and/or reception may be subject to inclement weather conditions.

Catering begins at $30 per person. The wedding party needs to meet with Elkins Resort

to plan the catering. Ideas for appetizers, salads, and entrées, should be brought to the

meeting, even if it is a vague concept. This information will help us to create a menu that

will compliment the wedding party’s tastes and a pleasurable experience for the guests. A

sample list of food and wine are included in this packet.

There will be a catering minimum established at the time of booking. A final guest count is due

three weeks prior to the wedding/reception. Billing will be based on the catering minimum or

number of quoted guests (which ever is more) unless attending guests exceed the quoted

number. This number is considered a guarantee and is not subject to reduction. We will

set and prepare for attendance up to 5% above your guarantee.

In addition to reception catering, Elkins Resort can cater your rehearsal dinner, Sunday

brunch and late night snacks for wedding guests. Guests make a mini-vacation out of

their trip and enjoy spending extended time with friends and family.

Outside catering companies are not permitted on premise. All catering is done by Elkins Resort.

The wedding party needs to meet with Elkins Resort to plan the decorating.

There are three options:

The wedding party decorates

Elkins Resort staff decorates

The resort and wedding party decorates

Elkins Resort encourages the wedding party to use their imagination in decorating the

facilities for the ceremony and reception. Areas for decoration include, but are not limited

to buffet tables, beverage table, cake table, eating tables, tent(s), and lodge interior. Prior

approval is required before attaching anything to the inside and outside of the lodge.

Candles may be used in holders and on tables only. Burning candles may not be

left unattended.

If Elkins staff’s services are desired, a detailed plan must be submitted six weeks prior

to the wedding/reception. A cost estimate will be returned within two weeks after the

decorating plan is determined.

The decorating party is responsible for providing all necessary tools and equipment,

including, but not limited to the following items: Ladders, Staplers, Glue, Extension cords,

Scissors and Pens

Flowers are a natural decoration and have been used successfully in accenting the majority

of weddings at Elkins Resort. Please see the attached referral list for florists familiar with

weddings at Elkins Resort. We are more than happy to make suggestions for placement of

flower arrangements.

Elkins Resort is happy to refer to cake companies, as we do not bake wedding cakes.

We will, however, store and cut them. There is a cutting fee of $1.00 per quoted guest if

Elkins staff cuts the cake, with a $75.00 minimum fee. This ensures the proper yield

according to the company baking the cake. We have a cake knife and server on hand

or the wedding party may bring these items.

Delivery of the wedding cake may occur the day before the ceremony. Please choose

your method of transportation wisely! The wedding party is responsible for the set up

and assembly of all wedding cakes.

Wedding Cake

Beer, wine, liquor, champagne, soda and punch are among the beverage choices for the

wedding party to provide for guests. The amount of beverages provided varies among

every wedding party. Please see the attached list for current beverage pricing. There are

three approaches the wedding party can take: hosted, partially hosted, or non-hosted.

Each option is described below.

By hosting the reception, the wedding party covers the cost of beer, wine, champagne,

punch and all cocktails ordered by the guests.

Hosted

By hosting the reception, the wedding party covers the cost of beer, wine, champagne,

punch and all cocktails ordered by the guests. A monetary limit may be set prior to

your event.

Partially Hosted The wedding party determines the amount and type of items provided for guests:

beer, wine, cocktails, champagne and punch.

Non-Hosted

Guests would be responsible for paying for any beverage they order from the bar.

In accordance with Idaho State liquor laws, beer and hard liquor may not be provided by

outside parties. Bottled wine and champagne are the only beverages the wedding party

may bring in. If the wedding party brings wine or champagne, there is a corkage fee of

$15 per bottle (750 ml). Wine and champagne may be selected either from Elkins’ wine

list or special ordered. Wine ordered from our list will be charged according to what is

opened at the reception. Special ordered wine is charged by the amount ordered before

the reception.

The outdoors creates wonderful opportunities for formal

photographs of the wedding party and family. We

encourage you to do so before the ceremony. Please keep

in mind if formal photographs are to be taken after the

ceremony, guests will be eagerly waiting for the wedding

party to join the reception. Photographers will often set up

an on-site meeting prior to your wedding day to determine

locations for photographs.

The wedding party shall arrange all forms of music. If you

are shopping for bands or DJs, many have demo tapes or

can give out a schedule of where they will be playing. Bands

or DJs should be fully set up at least one hour before the

ceremony begins. The wedding party is also responsible

for reserving accommodations for the band or DJ

– providing they plan on staying.

Things to keep in mind when determining music:

Before, during and after the ceremony

Type of music

(i.e. live, recorded, band, string quartet, vocal, etc.)

All music will end by 11:00 p.m.

Elkins Resort is not equipped to provide music for the

wedding ceremony or reception.

Weddings for less than 200 people Place settings may be rented from Elkins Resort and include a dinner plate, cake plate, two forks, knife, spoon, water glass, wine glass, and coffee cup. The place setting comes as a set. Individual items may not be rented from Elkins Resort. If our settings do not meet your needs, the wedding party will need to rent all items from a rental company. Rental companies that we have worked with frequently are listed on our referral page. Rental items needed for an outside reception include tent, side curtains, heaters, tables, chairs and tablecloths.

Weddings for more than 200 people Due to the large number of people, special arrangements will need to be made to ensure a positive and memorable experience. Tables, chairs, and tablecloths will need to be rented from an outside company for use with a tent. Place settings will also need to be rented from an outside company. This includes plates, stemware, flatware, and all other items the wedding party requires. The rental of a tent(s) will create enough seating for the reception as well as provide an alternate place for the ceremony if weather is inclement. The size of tent needed depends on the number of people. The location of the tent may vary depending on the view desired by the wedding party during the ceremony.

Listed below are items to keep in mind, as they may be needed for your ceremony and reception.

We highly recommend rental insurance to cover the loss or breakage of rental items. Elkins Resort is not responsible for damage to rental items.

In order to uphold the quality of Elkins catering and service, disposable dishes and utensils will not be used.
