Unforgettable Guest Experiences

If you and your guests love nature and all the fun it provides, an outdoor wedding venue offers built-in adventure and unforgettable moments. Our multi-day wedding experiences invite you to fully immerse yourselves in the natural beauty of Plumas National Forest.

Active couples and guests can enjoy hiking, mountain biking, and river rafting, while those seeking a slower pace can opt for horseback riding, river tubing, golfing, or fishing.

With nature as your backdrop, your wedding becomes more than a celebration — it transforms into a shared journey your guests will cherish for years to come.

 

Secluded Environment

There’s something special about getting married under the open sky, surrounded by nature instead of walls. An outdoor venue offers a warm, intimate setting for couples who want to be fully present with the people they love most.

The secluded environment of our Northern California outdoor venue invites guests to slow down, disconnect from distractions, and savor every moment—away from the generic feel of traditional venues surrounded by populated areas.

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a larger celebration, an outdoor venue fosters meaningful connections with each other, your guests, and the world around you.

 

Eco-Conscious

If sustainability matters to you, an outdoor wedding venue offers a beautiful and thoughtful way to celebrate with care for the environment. The natural scenery minimizes the need for excessive décor or artificial lighting, allowing you to reduce your footprint without compromising on style or beauty.

We are a certified carbon-free venue and a Green America–approved business. We blend the art of creating personalized weddings with a deep commitment to protecting the planet.

We use local vendors who, in turn, use local farms to source flowers, food, and more. We hope you’ll find that every detail of your celebration reflects our dedication to sustainability.
