Apply to Become a Guest Activities Member - Estes Park Wedding Associaton

Guest Activities/Associate Membership Application

A Guest Activities business will be in an industry which DOES NOT directly offer wedding related services or goods. Examples include businesses such as entertainment venues, hiking/adventure/outfitter businesses, touring companies, and other businesses that offer things to do and see and enjoy while wedding parties and their families are visiting our market.

Any other business type wishing to be listed as a service directly involved with wedding services, must fill out a full member application

Your application will be reviewed and voted upon. When you are accepted, you will then need to submit the $95.00 annual membership fee. To qualify for Associate Membership in the Estes Park Wedding Association, businesses will have been actively serving customers in the Estes Park area for the last 12 months prior to application. A high level of professionalism expected of all Members or Associate Members of The Estes Park Wedding Association.

Associate applicants must be physically located within the association’s venue boundaries, defined as being within the Estes Park R3 School District.

Guest Activities Members are not required to serve on any standing management or organizational committee, “material participation” in the activities of the organization is still requested. That may take the form of helping plan special activities or donation of prizes for special activities, participation in “All Member” social functions, and other possibilities. Currently we hold only 8 “All Member” meetings per year, and we encourage you to attend these if you can—it’s worth it just for the networking.

Our Mission is: “to promote destination marketing that draws more wedding events to the Estes Park area.” Annually there are well over 1200 weddings conducted in this market. Some are small, and some are very large, and almost ALL involve room stays, meals, shopping, activities and more. Sometimes family reunions happen around destination weddings and involve multiple night stays, group activities, shopping and many thousands of dollars spent in the community. All Estes Park businesses benefit from the work of this Association—we encourage you to become an active participant.

All applications must be received by the last Tuesday of the month to allow for sufficient time to be reviewed at the meeting the following week. If your application is not received by the last Tuesday of the month, your application will be reviewed the next month.
