There's a $3,000 kitchen use fee, which counts toward your food and beverage minimum, and that minimum still applies. Alcohol is a different story: the lodge holds its own liquor license, so all drinks come from its bar packages, and outside alcohol can cost you part or all of your damage deposit. If you've got a special wine in mind, corkage is $15 per bottle with a bottle count in advance. Bartenders are required for cocktails and hard liquor.

Rainbow Lodge is a historic mountain lodge on 114 acres along the South Yuba River, and it's yours alone for the whole weekend, from Friday through Sunday afternoon. Your ceremony, reception and overnight guests all stay on one property, so nobody has to drive after the party. Between events, guests can float the river on the lodge's inner tubes, gather around the fire pit or walk to the 7.3-mile Loch Leven Trail. Winter guests are about 15 minutes from skiing at Sugar Bowl and Boreal Ridge, and with an indoor curfew of 1am, you can keep dancing long after the outdoor party wraps.
