Twenty Mile House Has Everything You Need for Your Bespoke California Micro Wedding

 

Natural Splendor

Are you and your partner outdoorsy? Twenty Mile House is the perfect micro wedding venue in California for the nature-loving couple. Located in the heart of the Plumas National Forest, our lush property has acres of some of the most gorgeous, breathtaking natural backdrops in the country.

Not only is the beauty of the preserve romantic, but it makes the perfect backdrop for photos. Photographers love the light that filters through the trees, creating timeless and romantic memories you’ll cherish throughout your marriage. Every view throughout Twenty Mile House’s 200 wild acres is picturesque and unforgettable.

 

Dog-Friendly Location

Micro weddings are intimate, just for close friends and family. We believe your dog is family, too! They’ve been there throughout your courtship and engagement—at Twenty Mile House, they can be present for the wedding as well.

Our gorgeous park-like setting is perfect for bringing Fido along. We offer cabin accommodations on-site for up to 54 people, so you and your entire party can enjoy your micro-wedding without worrying about driving, dogs included! 

Include your dogs in your precious memories and photos of the day while they enjoy the bucolic scenery of our location, sniffing grass and celebrating with their people.

 

Outdoor Adventure Opportunities

If you’re a couple who loves to explore the outdoors—or have wedding guests who do—Twenty Mile House’s location in the heart of the Plumas National Forest comes with built-in adventure. 

Sporty couples and guests will love the hiking, mountain biking, and river rafting opportunities. For more laid-back experiences, you can find horseback riding, river tubing, golfing, and fishing. 

With the forest as your host, your California micro wedding can be more than a ceremony and reception. You can curate fun experiences your guests will reflect on fondly for years to come.

 

Rustic Luxury That Is Truly All-Inclusive

Lots of venues offer “all-inclusive” packages, but what they really mean is exclusive use of the venue. At Twenty Mile House, our micro wedding packages are truly all-inclusive, with catering, use of location, music, flowers, and more included in the price.

We work with local vendors to create gorgeous weddings as unique as you and your partner. From locally grown flowers to farm-to-table catering, our wedding packages take care of it all so you can enjoy your day.

Our pricing even includes a day-of coordinator to ensure that your micro wedding goes exactly the way you want it to.

 

Intimacy and Privacy for Your California Micro Wedding

Twenty Mile House has many advantages over traditional micro wedding venues, including privacy. With over 200 acres of pristine reserve at your disposal, your party won’t have to worry about bumping into someone else's bridal party or being shooed out of the venue.

Twenty Mile House is designed for authentic, non-traditional wedding experiences that combine the fun of camping with the elegance of a formal event.

You also won’t have to worry about noise ordinances—feel free to dance, sing, and make merry into the night without worrying about cranky neighbors.

 

Nature Centered & Eco-Friendly

Twenty Mile House is committed to being in sync with its natural surroundings. We are a certified carbon-free venue and Green America–approved business. We couple our artistry in crafting custom weddings with a commitment to limiting our ecological footprint and preserving our precious natural resources. We source flowers and farm-to-table cuisine from our local small business vendors, ensuring our guests get the best and the freshest.

If sustainability is important to you, our Northern California micro wedding venue is as beautiful as it is responsible. The natural setting reduces the need for elaborate décor or artificial lighting, minimizing your environmental footprint without sacrificing beauty or style.
