Kathleen and Christopher wanted a small and intimate winter Silcox Hut wedding with their closest friends and family. They enjoy music, laughing, not taking life too seriously. But don’t get this wrong, they love to adventure. At 7000 feet above Timberline Lodge and perhaps one of the most rustic and intimate spaces in the Northwest is once again… drum roll… the Silcox Hut.
It’s the highest hotel in all of the Northwest, offers spectacular views, some of the most intoxicating clean air one can breathe in, and an experience that will take guests to almost another world. This gem of a venue always offers something different every time. You really don’t know what is going to happen with the weather. It can literally be a blizzard down at the base of Timberline Lodge and sunny at the top above the clouds at Silcox Hut. That’s what makes this extraordinary place so magical, its impeccable unpredictability.
And the rustic feel of both the lodge and the hut always feels authentic and as if you are going back in time. When Kathleen and Christopher connected in a private moment before their winter Silcox Hut wedding ceremony we could clearly see and feel the true depth of their happiness. This is what it’s all about. The cold vanished and laughter and love took over, and that’s no exaggeration. Enjoy some of these glimpses, they are only a few of the many.
