ABOUT CRESTED BUTTE
MAGNIFIED JOY PHOTOGRAPHY
Anyone who visits Crested Butte, Colorado leaves with mountain-town envy. Full of historic charm and soulful spirit, the old mining town is home to Eleven’s flagship property, Scarp Ridge Lodge, and its quaint next-door neighbor, Sopris House.
HISTORY
Crested Butte, which sits 8,885 feet above sea level, was historically a mining and ranching community. When a ski resort opened on Mt. Crested Butte in the 1960’s, this end-of-the-road paradise experienced a legendary revival and has since been aptly dubbed “Colorado’s Last Great Ski Town.” Averaging 300 inches of snow per year, winters in Crested Butte rival the summers, which are filled with festivals, parades, farmer’s markets, live music, and an endless list of outdoor pursuits like hiking, biking, fishing, and rock climbing amidst the “Wildflower Capital of Colorado.”

SOPRIS HOUSE OVERVIEW
A next-door neighbor to Eleven’s flagship property, Sopris House is full of history and character, just like the town of Crested Butte.The original 1882 building infamously became the Spritzer Bar, a saloon bought in 1942 and operated by Slovenian immigrants. It is now an intimate four-bedroom home with a private saloon, reminiscent of its original personality but reimagined with immaculate alpine style.

STAFFING AND COMMUNICATION EXPECTATIONS
Staff Role
• Our staff will ensure that the property, including the buildings and operations, remains functional.
• Our staff are not trained as event staff and will not act as such, but they are excited to deliver an amazing experience for you and your guests as trained Eleven hospitality staff.
Staff Style
• In keeping with Eleven’s unpretentious personality and the lodge’s rustic atmosphere, staff are likely to wear flannels instead of black tie attire. You can generally liken the level of formality to a fireside PBR ambiance instead of a goldplated, white-gloved presentation.
Communication Pathways
• The Lodge Manager will be responsible for communication with wedding planners and all wedding related questions, comments or planning.
• The Experience Manager will be responsible for planning the rest of the guests’ stay, including activities, rooming assignments, and travel logistics to the property.
• Wedding-related planning through the Lodge Manager can begin earlier, but the Experience Manager’s role planning on-property guest stays will begin 30 days out. We know that wedding planning involves extensive preparation and we want to ensure that you feel comfortable and supported through the entire process.
Communication Timing
• The Lodge Manager will connect with the wedding planner (and wedding party if necessary) at approximately 60 days out to ensure that everyone understands the inclusions and exclusions. At this point, the Lodge Manager can also field any other questions regarding the event and assist with pointing you in the right direction where necessary.
• The Experience Manager will connect with the wedding party and the guests staying at the property 30 days out to plan the entirety of their stay beyond the event, including itinerary, guest information forms, travel logistics, and more.
BUDGETARY EXPECTATIONS
Incidental Billing
• All incidental expenses accumulated during the stay will be charged to the final bill. In most cases, the wedding vendor expenses will be coordinated through the wedding planner and billed separately.
• All bar expenses will be paid upon checkout.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
HOW LATE CAN OUR PARTY GO?
Music must end by 10:00 pm at the property due to state and/or local noise ordinance and regulations. All event guests not staying at the property must depart by 11:00 pm. Live music and/or DJ’s will not be permitted after 10:00 pm. Their congregation on the property after the event is prohibited.
CAN I PLAN MY OWN WEDDING?
Day-of wedding coordinator services are mandatory and pre-event planning services are highly recommended. We are happy to recommend a local planner that can assist with your event. Eleven is only responsible for lodging and the venue itself and is not responsible for any event planning details.
WHAT ARE THE LIQUOR LICENSE RULES IF I BUYOUT BOTH PROPERTIES?
Sopris House does not have a liquor license and therefore, Eleven is not permitted to supply any alcoholic beverages for guests. Guests are not allowed to bring alcoholic beverages between the two properties due to the licensing law of Scarp Ridge Lodge. You are more than welcome to stock the Sopris Bar yourselves or hire an outside vendor to work your event. Our vendor recommendations can be found on page 27.
AM I ABLE TO HOST A REHEARSAL DINNER OR WEDDING LUNCHEON AT THE PROPERTY?
We would be more than happy to host all of your wedding celebration events. Other events have different costs associated with them, so please reach out to the sales team for additional pricing and information.
