Let’s get to the questions about your Amangani wedding.
Payment, Rental Fee & Vendors
- How many people can your location accommodate?
- 80 guests.
- What’s included in a venue buyout at Amangani?
- At Amangani, we request that all event guests are also hotel guests. For any event over 40 guests, we require a full venue buyout of all 40 suites for at least 3 nights. In addition to the accommodations, we require a spa and food & beverage minimum. Rates and minimums change based on time of year. For any event under 40 guests we generally require between 10-20 suite minimum with spa and food & beverage minimum associated as well. We do not host weddings or events in our peak summer months of July & August. We are also closed seasonally during the months of April and November.
- What does payment look like?
- We handle the contracting process on an individual basis but generally require between 25-50% of the agreed upon projected accommodations and minimum upon contract signing with a payment plan – all monies paid prior to event start date.
- What’s your weather backup plan for outdoor spaces?
- We have multiple indoor backup weather options. We only host one event at a time, so we will come up with our backup weather plans with each couple based on headcount and selected venue spaces.
Vendors For Your Wedding at Amangani
- Do you have an in-house caterer or a list of “preferred” caterers, or does the couple need to provide their own? If there is an in-house caterer, does the couple have the option of using an outside caterer instead?
- We do all catering on-site. While we are open to cake/pastry items being outsources, we do not allow for outside catering and work with each client to create the perfect bespoke menu for their event.
- Can the couple hire their own vendors, or is there a preferred vendor list that they are required to stick to?
- We have a vendor agreement and specific requirements and need to be in touch with all vendors before they enter property. We have a list of preferred and suggested vendors, but not required vendors.

Amenities For Your Amangani Wedding

- Do you have an inventory of decor that can be borrowed from?
- Only existing furniture. No other decor is available to be borrowed from.
- Can things be moved around or is everything supposed to stay as is?
- We can move furniture and some items around the hotel. If there is extensive furniture movement, an outside vendor may need to be hired to facilitate.
- Can the couple use their own candles/confetti/sparklers/food-trucks?
- Open flame candles are allowed. Confetti is dependent on the type and location, as we are located on a wildlife and bird of prey migration path. Sparklers are dependent on time of year and if there are any fire bans in place by the Teton County Fire Department.

- Generally, suites are used as changing areas for bride/groom and wedding party. We also have space in our spa’s movement studio if guests require additional space.
- Do you provide heating and/or umbrellas for outdoor spaces?
- We have heat lamps on the Grand Terrace. Ceremony spaces that are on lawn spaces may not be able to accommodate heating or umbrellas due to the grade of the hill.

- No. AV equipment must be outsourced.
Parking & Alcohol
- Is there parking on site and if so, is it complimentary? If not, where will guests park?
- There is parking and complimentary valet on property for hotel guests. If there are non-hotel guests attending the event, these must be approved with the venue as there is limited parking.
- Are you licensed to provide alcohol service?
- Yes. Guests may not bring in outside alcohol, but can request special orders and work with our food & beverage team to come up with their requested bar offerings.
