Why You'll Love This Place
A Here Comes The Guide Wedding Venue Review
- This private mountaintop oasis in the the Sierra National Forest transforms from a winter-season ski resort to a summertime destination wedding dream, inviting you to say "I do" at 8,000 feet. Everything you need is right here, from delicious in-house cuisine to cozy accommodations in the 48-room Inn to endless adventures within reach.
- Waterfront ceremonies are blessed by serene vistas of China Peak as it rises above the lake. Or, opt for a fairy-tale forest wedding in a grove of native Sierras, an intimate gathering on one of four rustic bridges that span the creek, or a mountaintop celebration at the top of Chair 6, with panoramic views that encompass the whole scene.
- Soft, gauzy draping adorns the dreamy "Dome," a light-filled event space perfect for receptions. An adjacent patio provides a welcoming option to flow between indoors and out, with glowing bistro lights and a setting among the pines that creates a magical sense of seclusion as the sun dips below the horizon.

Yes, both happen at China Peak Mountain Resort.

Your reception takes place in the Dome, an indoor space with an adjacent patio strung with bistro lights. For some ceremonies at a bridge or The Grove, staff shuttle guests to the site.
Catering and the bar at China Peak Mountain Resort are both in-house, with customizable menus that run from a cocktail buffet to a plated dinner with Silver, Gold and Platinum entrée tiers. For everything else, China Peak shares a preferred vendor list of pros who know its high-elevation sites, including bakeries, DJs, florists, photographers, videographers, rentals and decor, and officiants. Vegetarian, gluten-free and allergy requests are always accommodated.

China Peak Mountain Resort is a 1,500-acre ski resort in the Sierra National Forest that turns into a mountain wedding destination every summer, about 60 miles northeast of Fresno. Everything is in one place: four outdoor ceremony sites by the lake, in the forest, on a creek bridge or at Chair 6, an indoor reception in the Dome, on-site catering and a 48-room Inn for your guests. Packages are all-inclusive, and the resort offers private 48-hour bookings, so your wedding can feel like a weekend getaway. Want to add a little adventure? An 11-minute chairlift ride climbs to the Midway Clearing at 8,200 feet, overlooking Huntington Lake.
