Western Riviera Lakeside Lodging & Events

What do you remember most about a wedding? The bride? Certainly, the beautiful bride. And, the food? Ah, the food.

The food from J.R.’s Grill Catering at the Western Riviera Event Center in Grand Lake, Colorado is a visual feast as well as scrumptious eating. Figs drizzled with honey glisten on golden toasts, grilled vegetables are slightly charred & aromatic, peppered, pink tinged tenderloin waits to be carved & dressed with flavorful mushroom au jus sauce. Delicious!

J.R.’s Grill Catering will not disappoint. Alyda & J.R., the owners, are as competent as they are caring. It’s not just the food - and you have a lot of options to choose from; from hamburger to tenderloin, from chicken wings to chicken piccata and everything in between. It’s really the two of them who knock themselves out to make your event one to remember. Alyda & J.R. are wonderful to work with. They are willing to help with every detail of a party or event, not just with the food. Grand Lake is a beautiful spot, a town fairly self contained, far from a metropolitan center, so the people they recommend as vendors must be people they trust & up to their high standards.

We couldn’t have been more pleased with J.R.’s Grill Catering & the Western Riviera Event Center. At our daughter’s wedding, when the bride & groom, and some of their friends went to a local bar after the wedding to continue celebrating, Alyda’s son & one of Alyda’s friends went to pick them up and made sure they got back to their rooms even though everything in Grand Lake is within walking distance. Professionals with a heart - you bet!

Cooks, caterers, event planners - yes, but in the end it’s Alyda & J.R.’s warmth & willingness to make your event as special as it can be that shines through. That - and the food is superb.

I am counting down the days to Blues from the Top in Winter Park. I am heading up on June 27 to check out Tab Benoit, Jimmy Hall, Zac Harmon, Mike Zito, Shawn Kellerman and Diunna Greenleaf. The New Hideaway Park Event Center should be a great venue. I hope there is a killer crowd, I can’t wait to relax to some great music!

The firework display was great! We just laid out a blanket on a spot of grass and took it all in. Oh and of course we lit up some sparklers and the kids did their own little light show. We had such a great time!

We hope to make it up to Grand Lake next 4th to see the fireworks over the lake.
