This menu includes hors d’oeuvres, stations, platters, salads, entrees, desserts, inspired chef's tables, packages, and a la carte options. Please keep in mind this is buffet style of serving not all you can eat.
Sit Down, Plated and Served Prix Fixe Dinners:
With this format, your guest will have personalized menus chosen from our available items by you. The menus will have options per course for your guest to choose from. During the planning phase, you and your event manager will work through the menu choices put together by our Executive Chef.
Bar:
You have the option of a hosted bar, a partially hosted bar, or a cash bar. We have a variety of liquors, wines, cocktails, and non-alcoholic beverages available. Pricing sheets, options, and special requests will be worked out with your Event Manager during the planning phase. Our Sommelier can also create a wine package to meet you and your guests' taste and be present during the event.
Bridal
Luncheons
Getting the bridesmaids together to laugh and talk about memories and things to come creates some down time for the you and your friends to get together and decompress. This bridal luncheon can be at the Nest Above or we can bring lunch to you.
Groomsmen
Gathering
Get your best buds out for a hike in Rocky (gentle reminder RMNP requires reservations May-October) and stop for a custom lunch party at the Nest Above. Or let us pack some picnic backpacks for you. An additional option would be to stop by the top restaurant in town Bird & Jim--let us know we can make a reservation for you and your groomsmen.
FareWell

Didn’t get to talk to everyone as much as you wanted, guest checking out and leaving at different times? Reserve the Nest above for a farewell brunch!
Allow your guests a time window to come for brunch when is convenient for them and we will make sure the delicious items are replenished as guests come and go. Creating a final farewell to cap off an amazing wedding weekend.
