Why Choose a Mountain Wedding Venue in California

 

Gorgeous Backdrops

Mountain view wedding venues in California offer some of the most stunning natural backdrops in the country. With the mountains all around you, you can choose to be as close as you want to capture all of the beauty the Sierra Nevada Mountains have to offer.

Photographers love the light that filters through the trees and the sweeping mountain vistas, creating a stunning, picture-perfect backdrop for every shot. You’ll have scenic photos with mountain peaks and endless greenery.

Our 200-mile acreage throughout Twenty Mile House includes breathtaking scenery and picture-perfect moments everywhere you look.

 

Romantic Atmosphere

One of the biggest highlights of a mountain wedding is the romantic atmosphere created by being surrounded by breathtaking scenery. This makes your special day even more magical and serene. The atmosphere is surrounded by nature's beauty, from the towering pines to the dramatic peaks.

Because the mountains surround our venue, your wedding will be more intimate and personalized than if you were reciting your vows in a hotel or a suburban setting.

We take advantage of our acreage by allowing you to explore and use all that nature offers to make your mountain wedding dreams a reality.

 

Opportunities for Adventure

If you’re a couple who loves to explore the outdoors—or have wedding guests who do—a mountain wedding venue allows you to experience all the adventures in nature. At Twenty Mile House, we offer multi-day wedding experiences that allow you and your guests to explore the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Couples who enjoy sports can go hiking, mountain biking, and river rafting. For more relaxing experiences, horseback riding, river tubing, golfing, and fishing are also available.

With the mountain as your guide, your wedding can be more than a ceremony and reception. You can create a unique wedding and vacation experience for your guests.

 

Private Experience

There’s something incredibly personal and peaceful about getting married surrounded by mountains instead of walls.

A mountain venue creates a secluded and cozy atmosphere for couples who want to enjoy every part of their wedding day fully. The mountains allow guests to slow down, unplug, and truly soak in the moment.

Another benefit of having a wedding in the mountains is the ability to celebrate as long as you want with no noise ordinances or curfews. This allows your reception to be truly curated to you and your guests, with no countdown for when the fun will end.

 

A Venue That Is Personalized to You

Having a venue that truly feels like you is essential to making your day feel special. A California mountain wedding is perfect for those who like adventure, simplicity, and natural beauty.

At Twenty Mile House, you can celebrate your big day however you envision it. You can be barefoot under the trees or dressed to the nines—a mountain backdrop complements any wedding theme or vision.

Mountains allow your personality to shine, and our priority is to ensure that everything feels intentional and unique to you—our mountain wedding venue allows you the flexibility and creativity to create the wedding of your dreams.

 

Unique and Memorable 

Exchanging vows surrounded by mountain views will be a unique memory for your special day. Surrounded by natural beauty, you can make memories with your new spouse, family, and friends. 

The scenery is the perfect backdrop for unique photos and videos. The ever-changing natural light provides endless photo opportunities to look back on. 

Additionally, guests will remember the sense of escape and connection to nature. A wedding at Twenty Mile House provides a fun wedding ceremony and reception, and the opportunity for a relaxing vacation with family and friends. A mountain wedding isn't just an event but an experience rooted in adventure.
