Jackson Hole Rehearsal Dinner is Rustic Perfection

The Jackson Hole destination wedding of Jourdan and Holt started off with a rehearsal dinner for the ages at Snake River Ranch. Wanting to give their guests an authentic Wyoming experience, the couple worked with Emily Clarke Events to create a magical event-scape set against a vivid backdrop of mountains and grazing horses.

The pre-wedding party for 150 began with a horse and wagon ride to the ranch’s Gray Barn. Then, guests found their names on arrows before heading into the 46′ x 66′ sailcloth tent, installed by Sperry Tents Colorado. The full floor installation extended beyond the tent’s edges to create a porch that was used during cocktail hour and after dinner.

To reflect Holt and his interests, the decor included antlers, feathers, hunting accents, and a warm color palette. Pampas grass installations overhead by Fleur de V Events are masculine in feel and yet still visually intriguing. Guests, asked to dress in “ranch chic,” were treated to a whiskey bar and bluegrass band performance.
