Highly recommend Tenaya!!

Tenaya was a great venue for our wedding with just over 100 guests. The food, atmosphere, and accommodations were all fantastic! Special shout-out to Sonya for being so detail-oriented, attentive, and patient in making sure our special day and weekend went as smoothly as possible.

Magical Place for My Wedding

Had my wedding here on June 18, 2022 and it was the definition of MAGICAL. The staff were friendly and accommodating. At first, our ceremony site was at the Counties patio (still beautiful but I was really hoping for the Terrace but was unavailable at the time). They told us to keep checking, in case the Terrace will become available. Month after month, I would email them and check. Until about 3 months before the wedding, they told us that the Terrace was available! The Terrace captured everything we love: trees, mountains, skies.

Special shoutout to Sonya (the wedding coordinator). She was PHENOMENAL and on point on everything. She made the day go smoothly and less-stress for us. I was so strongly decided on not having a wedding coordinator during our early planning. Mainly because of budget reasons and we were only having a small intimate wedding. Me and my fiancé did all the planning, from choosing vendors and food to decors to timelines. Things have gotten harder for us, thinking how are we going to make sure that things go smoothly as there are so many things to happen on the actual wedding day. We had the opportunity to meet with Sonya 6 months before our wedding, and she totally gave us the confidence that she will be there on the day to make sure things go well. She answered all the questions that we had in mind, even before we could blurt them out! During the rehearsal and wedding day, she was phenomenal. Even my guests were so amazed by how she made it look so easy. I was so thankful that she was there, making sure my gown was beautifully set, making sure that I drink and eat, making sure that the guests are having fun. I was so amazed because I’m so used to doing everything by myself and end up getting overwhelmed at times. But Sonya was a lifesaver! I accidentally left my centerpiece flowers at home, and we just realized it 3 hours before the event. I became worried, but she found a way to troubleshoot the problem. She found some decors she had and some extra decors that I had and made centerpieces out of them. It turned out so beautifully, even more than the original ones. I cannot thank her enough for making our wedding day perfect.

Can’t wait to go back for future anniversaries here!

There are no words

I don’t even know where to begin when it comes to Tenaya Lodge. My husband and I couldn’t have dreamed of a better day. From the moment I reached out to Sonya to the moment we said goodbye to her while checking out of the hotel we felt nothing but love and support from her! She was so extremely helpful and helped with anything and everything we needed. Not only was she kind and caring but she was on top of everything! The day went off without a hitch and if anything went wrong I had no idea because she was there. We really cannot sing her praises enough. If you are even thinking about booking your wedding at Tenaya Lodge—do it! Beautiful venue, helpful staff, great food!

Our wedding coordinator was Charlene Kelley and she is/was AMAZING! She genuinely cared about our wedding and was professional every step of the way. 4 days prior to our wedding, our venue was canceled due to the fire near Yosemite. She relocated us to an amazing venue (The Majestic Yosemite Hotel) and even showed up for our rehearsal and the day of our wedding to see that everything ran smoothly. Without her, our wedding would have been canceled. However, she went above and beyond to make sure that our wedding was perfect. And it WAS perfect. Without her knowledge, expertise, and genuine concern, we would have had to reschedule our wedding. We LOVE Charlene and could never give her enough praise for what she has done for us. If we could, we would give her one million stars! :-)

Let me start by saying Samantha Wasson with Tenaya Lodge is the most talented and professional wedding coordinator/planner/vendors I have ever worked with.
When my original planner absolutely failed me, Samantha took over and she went above and beyond to make sure my wedding was perfect.
She stepped up in every way imaginable, from budget to vendor management to decorations to guests. When my dj was suggesting songs last minute I didn't like, she was even able to come up with our grand entrance song!
This woman is a gem and I hope every bride who books with the lodge is lucky enough to work with Samantha.
She had my family smiling during a time of stress. Every detail was addressed and she eased my concerns especially when my original planner failed me.
She is a gift to Tenaya.
Now, onto the lodge. I see some people complain on here about "hidden fees". I can tell you first hand, every charge that the lodge is going to incur shows on their contract. In fact, by the end of my wedding we received money back. Yes there is gratuity and taxes included in their pricing. This made it easy to manage the event staff, knowing their gratuity was taken care of in advance.
As for the lodge itself, I received nothing but compliments from guests. They were all amazed by the professionalism and courtesy of the staff. The beauty of the lodge is unsurpassed and I am beyond grateful to have worked with the talented and courteous staff there. My one suggestion would be for all brides to visit the lodge before choosing their colors. Every detail from storage to floral was addressed. This place is top notch and for the price, it truly can't be beat. I searched long and hard on the Central Coast for a venue that would even come close in terms of class, quality and professionalism, nothing can compare.The food was buffet style, and guests complimented the quality, taste and selection. Thank you Tenaya for a weekend we will never forget.

Yosemite is my husbands favorite place, so we knew we would be looking for venues in that area. Once we booked Tenaya Lodge, Charlene and Samantha took over and made everything so easy for us. Samantha was available for every question, every phone call and email from us. It was a seamless process thanks to the competence and thoroughness of Samantha. She even rushed to change table numbers for me the morning of the wedding when we had guests not able to make it due to an emergency, leaving tables unevenly numbered. There was nothing that Samantha wasn't prepared for and she was with us through the entire process, right down to the bustling of my dress. My family had an amazing time and are still talking about what a beautiful venue the Tenaya Lodge is.

Most amazing experience and day of my life. Samantha is amazing, she made sure every t was crossed. They were more than accomodating and attentive. The guest booking experience is horrible, however the rest of the experience more than made up for that disaster!
