About

Tucked along the banks of the Kern River, Rivernook Campground Weddings offer a breathtaking meadow setting where nature becomes the backdrop to your love story. Towering trees frame an open, sun-kissed meadow, while the sound of the river adds a sense of calm and magic you simply can’t recreate indoors.

Our meadow is intentionally versatile — equally perfect for timeless and elegant designs, rustic celebrations, barefoot bohemian ceremonies, or modern minimalist gatherings. With expansive open space, natural shade, and flexible layout options, the meadow comfortably accommodates everything from intimate elopements to lively celebrations with a full guest list, all while maintaining an intimate, grounded feel.

Couples love that Rivernook allows their wedding to feel personal and unforced. Whether you envision long farmhouse tables beneath string lights, a romantic sweetheart table surrounded by florals, or a simple ceremony that lets the landscape speak for itself, our team helps bring each vision to life with thoughtful coordination, curated décor, and seamless support.

At Rivernook, your wedding doesn’t have to fit into a box — it simply has to feel like you.

Riverside wedding!

My fiancé and I wanted a simple ceremony and had planned to get married at the courthouse. On a whim, we searched “weddings in Kernville” and found Rivernook Campground weddings. I reached out to Brooke who responded immediately and she was able to accommodate our request for a riverside ceremony with an officiant (and with a very short notice!). The ceremony location was right next to the river and was absolutely beautiful! Josh was an amazing officiant who looked great and spoke well. He delivered a very special ceremony that turned out way better than we could’ve imagined! It was such a special day and everyone at Rivernook Campground Weddings really cared to make it the best experience. I would highly recommend getting married at Rivernook Campground!

Memorable moment 💍

We had an excellent experience with this company for our wedding. From start to finish, they were highly professional, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable about the property. They went above and beyond to support all of our needs, making the entire process smooth and stress-free.
Their team truly helped make our special day unforgettable, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a seamless and memorable wedding.

Thank you again for hosting one of our most memorable moments in life.

Best Wedding ever!!

Brooke and her team put together the most beautiful wedding for us . They were flexible with our needs and costs . I was able to text or call Brooke for any last minute changes and she was quick to change anything we needed. They offer a variety of options of decorations and even have a mobile bar and beautiful tables and chairs for your guests . The venue is a big open meadow. I literally walked into a fairly tale dream wedding. Brooke, thank you and your team for giving us the best day of our lives ❤️
