About this venue

Rustic Elegance — Perfect in Every Season

Set across more than 350 acres in the mountains of Pennsylvania, Bear Creek Mountain Resort is a scenic wedding destination in the Lehigh Valley that blends natural beauty with a refined, relaxed atmosphere. Surrounded by wooded landscapes, gardens, and mountain views, the resort offers a setting that feels immersive, elevated, and thoughtfully designed for celebration.

Couples can exchange vows at one of several outdoor ceremony locations, each highlighting the surrounding scenery, and continue seamlessly into one of the resort’s indoor event spaces. Bear Creek offers three distinct ballrooms, each with its own setting, scale, and atmosphere.

The Mountain Ballroom is the resort’s largest space, accommodating up to 250 guests and featuring expansive mountain views and rustic architectural details.

The Lodge Ballroom accommodates up to 180 guests and reflects classic lodge-style design, with warm finishes, a prominent fireplace, and large windows overlooking the resort.

Removed from the hub of the hotel, the Woodland Ballroom also accommodates up to 180 guests and offers a more private, intimate setting, with access to its own outdoor space.

Each ballroom includes an adjoining patio or balcony, allowing guests to step outside and enjoy the surrounding scenery throughout the celebration.

On-site accommodations make it easy for couples and guests to stay together all weekend long. Bear Creek offers 116 guest rooms, including spacious suites ideal for wedding parties and families. Guests can relax at the full-service spa, enjoy the pools and hot tubs, or dine on property — creating a complete wedding weekend experience.

Bear Creek Mountain Resort offers comprehensive wedding packages designed to simplify the process while still allowing room for personalization. In-house culinary and beverage service, venue setup, and on-site coordination are all handled by the resort’s experienced team. Couples are welcome to bring in their preferred vendors for décor, entertainment, and photography.

From the ceremony through the final moments of the reception, an on-site coordination team ensures the day flows smoothly, allowing couples to remain present and enjoy every part of the celebration.

Take a 360° virtual tour and explore Bear Creek Mountain Resort to see how your wedding can feel perfectly at home in every season.

Highly Recommend!

We had our wedding at Bear Creek Mountain Resort and it was truly everything we could have ever hoped for. From start to finish, the experience was seamless. Travis, our coordinator, was incredibly helpful, responsive, and organized, which made the entire planning process feel easy and stress-free. On the day of the wedding, everything ran perfectly, we were able to relax and fully enjoy every moment knowing we were in great hands. The venue itself is beautiful and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everything was exactly as we envisioned. We highly recommend Bear Creek to any couple looking for a stunning venue with an amazing team to support them.

The Perfect Venue!

Weeks later and we are still gushing over Bear Creek Mountain Resort. We could not have asked for a better place to get married! The team made us feel like VIPs throughout the weekend, and they ensured that everything ran smoothly. The outdoor ceremony area is gorgeous, we lucked out with the rain stopping 2 hours before the ceremony was scheduled! With the venue you get a day of coordinator; we worked with Travis and he made sure every detail we wanted was perfectly captured. Bear Creek also offers tons of amenities to all their guests and we can't wait to go back.

Couldn’t recommend more!!!! 10/10!!!

When I tell you having our wedding at Bear Creek was the best decision, I mean it! I would choose this venue over and over again. Our wedding coordinator, Aimee, was a life saver through the entire process and especially on the day of. Every staff member was helpful and went out of their way to help us and our guests. The food was AMAZING. People are still talking about it months later (people want to go back there for the food). We had our rehearsal and dinner there the night before, as well. Everything was handled. All of our decor was put out by them. We really didn’t have to worry about anything which was exactly what we wanted. I could go on and on. Truly, this was the best choice we made throughout this process. A huge shoutout to Aimee and Travis (coordinators who took care of EVERYTHING), Chris (our bartender), Laura (helped with our room block) and every single staff member (including the people who helped box up our extra entrees to take home and gave us a bin of ice!).

Wedding at Bear Creek 11/07

Travis was truly the heartbeat of our wedding day at Bear Creek Mountain Resort. We were married on November 7th in the Lodge Ballroom, and from the moment we arrived that morning until the last song played, he was calm, organized, and completely on top of every detail. He checked in with us constantly, made sure we always had what we needed (including food and drinks!), and guided us through the timeline so smoothly that we never once had to look at a clock or worry about what was happening next.

Leading up to the wedding, Travis was quick to respond to emails, patient with all of our questions, and incredibly knowledgeable about how the day would flow at Bear Creek. On the day of, he coordinated seamlessly with our vendors, wedding party, and family, handled last-minute changes without any drama, and kept everything running perfectly on schedule while still making it feel relaxed and fun.
Because of Travis, we were actually able to be present and enjoy our wedding instead of stressing over logistics. Our guests are still talking about how beautiful and smooth the day was, and we know that’s largely thanks to him. We are so grateful for his professionalism, kindness, and attention to detail. If you’re getting married at Bear Creek, you will be in excellent hands with Travis as your coordinator.

The perfect fall wedding venue. Beautiful venue, easy process, and outstanding food!

Bear Creek Mountain Resort was the perfect place to host our fall wedding. We reserved the Woodland Courtyard for our ceremony and it was absolutely gorgeous. The area is secluded away from other guests with a picturesque mountainside in the background. Definitely recommend timing it when the leaves are changing!

Our reception was held in the nearby Woodland Ballroom, and after-party space was provided in the Grille with the bar staying open until 1 a.m. Beyond the beauty of this location, we highly recommend it because everything was so easy and convenient. Our wedding sales manager, Aimee, was just outstanding to work with, she is absolutely on top of every detail.

Once we arrived at Bear Creek the day of rehearsal, we handed off all of our decorations to Aimee (who even pitched in to help us unload the trucks). She and her team took care of the rest, including setting up, taking down, and storing all of our decorations. This relieved us of so much work and stress so that everyone could just enjoy the day. All we had to provide were instructions and the decor itself. It could not have been an easier process! Aimee was also accommodating for a semi-last minute surprise video planned by my husband.

Even more, the food was outstanding. My husband and I both had the filet mignon. We also loved the ad-on option of a s'mores bar.

From the personal touch of handing us a signature drink as we walked out o the ceremony, to the ease of staying right on site, we can not say enough good things about Aimee and Bear Creek Mountain Resort. We highly recommend!!!

A Perfect Day

Our experience at Bear Creek Mountain Resort was phenomenal. Through our planning we worked with Travis who was engaging, responsive and incredibly helpful. This made our experience easy and stress-free. From dropping off our decor and the Bear Creek team setting it up was seamless. The food service and quality was spectacular. We would highly recommend Bear Creek & Travis for anyone who is planning their wedding.
