Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- Elevate your love at this dreamy mountain hideaway and ski resort, perched at 8,495 feet in the dramatic Sierra Nevadas. From a rehearsal dinner on the shady Creekside Patio to exchanging vows among the wooded peaks, there are endless options for crafting your perfect day—or destination weekend with all your loved ones in tow.
- Say "I do" at the top of the mountain, surrounded by 360-degree panoramas of the rugged landscape (your guests will love the swift, 5-minute chairlift ride up and down, too!). The Scenic Vista at the base is equally lovely, backed by a breathtaking silhouette of Mokelumne Peak. Receptions typically unfold in the Cathedral Lounge at the heart of the Lodge, where a stunning four-story stone fireplace makes for a remarkable centerpiece.
- It's unbelievably easy to plan your day... and remarkably affordable, too. Their all-inclusive packages have everything you need—delicious menus, hosted bar service, and a dressing suite for pre-nuptial prep. Dreaming of a destination wedding? No sweat: the Lodge offers ample accommodations for everyone (including a luxe suite for the two of you), fabulous amenities, and easy access to the region's miles of trails and pristine lakes.
