The Proposal

 Not at the wedding planning stage quite yet? Let us help you get there with an unforgettable proposal! 

Bring your sweetheart out west for a nice little ‘getaway’ in the Rocky Mountain Foothills. While you explore the beautiful grounds of Schott’s Lake, we will set up a lovely picnic area with champaign or anything else you prefer, to create the most romantic setting to ask the most important question to the one you love. While you have your special moment, our discreet photographer will be capturing it for you both to cherish forever, which will then transition into an engagement photo shoot. 

While the magic is happening, our team inside will be preparing for your private lakeside dinner to complete the most perfect day. After dinner, spend the evening lakeside next to the fire out front of your own private rustic log cabin, or one of our romantic motel rooms with in-room fireplace. 

  • Lakeside champagne service
  • Photographer
  • Private dinner with dessert
  • Overnight stay in a motel suite with fireplace
