Receptions take place in the Cathedral Lounge, which seats up to 120 with 40 more in the Creekside Dining Room, or on the seasonal Creekside Patio for up to 80.

Catering is in-house at Bear Valley Resort, and your package covers the menu, hosted bar and house wine. The bar is in-house too, though you can bring your own alcohol with a corkage fee. Beyond the packages, the team will also work with you to execute your own vision, and Mariah, the Group Sales Manager, can help you plan the details.

At Bear Valley Resort in the Sierra Nevada, packages run $130 per guest (Signature) or $145 per guest (Premium), and they cover your reception venue, food, a five-hour host bar, wine with dinner and a complimentary bridal suite for your wedding night. Your ceremony site is the other big piece and depends on the spot and the season: the Mountain Top Vista is $6,000, the Scenic Vista $4,000, the Cathedral Lounge $1,000–$1,500 and the Creekside Patio $650–$950. A 20% service charge applies, and a rehearsal dinner is an additional fee. Planning a small wedding? Customized à la carte packages are available, too.

Your guests can stay right at Bear Valley Resort, in the Bear Valley Lodge, and both wedding packages include special accommodation rates for them.

Every room has a memory foam mattress, a flatscreen TV, a bay window seat and a private bathroom, plus free Wi-Fi, morning coffee and summer pool access. The two of you get the largest corner king room, included in both packages.

At Bear Valley Resort you can say "I do" on a mountaintop at 8,495 feet, with guests riding a chairlift up to 360-degree views of the Sierra Nevada.

Receptions gather around the four-story stone fireplace in the Cathedral Lounge, and the resort is wheelchair accessible. It's an easy way to turn your wedding into a mountain weekend with everyone you love.
