— Park City Wedding Lodging —
Keep the party going long after the reception ends by having your guests all stay in one place. Instead of trying to no avail to get in touch with a hotel or dealing with the chaos of a room block let Stay Park City build you a custom booking platform. As the wedding party, you'll note a few of your favorite hotels, narrowing the choice down for your guests. Once they all book in the wedding party's favorite hotels, it'll practically turn your after-wedding party into a giant sleepover. Plus, each stay is an optional 5% gift back to you or a donation to a cause of your choice. Find out more here.
