Clarissa & Alex
Holy Cross Event Deck Vail Wedding
Elegant style and unforgettable views in the heart of the Rockies.
Clarissa & Alex’s Holy Cross Event Deck Vail wedding was the definition of destination wedding magic — a weekend filled with elegance, joyful celebration, and mountaintop moments that felt like they were plucked from a dream. Traveling from Texas and Florida to say “I do” in the heart of the Colorado Rockies, this stylish couple brought their closest loved ones to the top of the world — literally.
The day began with a scenic gondola ride to the top of Vail Mountain for their first look, and it felt like time stood still. The sky stretched endlessly above them, and the sweeping alpine views below made every moment feel cinematic. Their Holy Cross Event Deck Vail wedding ceremony was held high above the treetops, where Colorado’s natural grandeur set the stage for their vows. With the crisp mountain air, golden sunlight, and love all around, it was a moment their guests will never forget.
After the ceremony, the celebration moved down to the elegant Arrabelle Hotel at Vail Square, where the vibe transitioned from mountaintop romance to high-end celebration.

The reception space was filled with glowing candlelight, thoughtful details, and an atmosphere that felt as refined as it was welcoming.
