About

On WeddingWire since 2018

The Lake at Apple Hill is a wedding venue in Placerville, California. Our beautiful event space sits at the feet of towering pine trees, overlooking a private 50-acre lake. This serene location is an intimate place to get married, fitting for the artful soul who is a lover of nature and exquisite things.

Host a Lakeside Ceremony

This El Dorado wedding venue offers space for you to host both your ceremony and reception on its carefully manicured grounds. Exchange vows at the edge of the sparkling lake, letting this tranquil body of water add to the breathtaking moment when you say, “I do”. It is also a popular spot for wedding portraits, with the surrounding woodlands providing striking natural backdrops.

Outdoor Wedding Reception

Afterward, join your guests for an outdoor wedding reception and cocktail reception under an elegant white gazebo, which can be adorned with market lighting. This will prove useful as the sun sets on our outdoor wedding venue and you sit down to your long-awaited wedding meal; the lights above casting a romantic glow on the party below. Enjoy the company of up to 200 guests, with plenty of room for a dance floor. Other popular choices include mobile bar experiences and our furry friends from The Drunken Burro.

Elopement Wedding Venue

The Lake at Apple Hill is equally beautiful for small weddings such as elopements and micro weddings. Our private estate provides the perfect setting for a ceremony and catered dinner with your nearest and dearest! While the convenient location in Placerville offers plenty of nearby accommodations.

Incredibly helpful, affordable + stunning venue

The Lake was the first venue my husband and I looked at when we first got engaged. We were looking for an earthy, natural, peaceful environment surrounded by trees to have our wedding. This place was the perfect spot! The venue manager had incredible communication, quick response times, patient with our questions, and so so kind, they were genuinely excited to make our day perfect for us. Alongside the perfect scenery, they’re contracted with an incredible wedding coordinator which is included in the total price. Absolute game changer. Our day was absolutely perfect and it all started with The Lake!

The Lake wedding

Wow! So good. The coordinating team was very professional and incredibly efficient. They told me I would be able to enjoy the event as they would make sure all went smoothly…and they were 💯 correct. Everything was organized and I thoroughly enjoyed the wedding day. At the end, all of my belongings were organized and ready to go. The vendors we chose were great and worked well together. Loved the wedding!!

Our wedding 05/31/2024

The Lake at Apple Hill is truly incredible, and so magical. I cannot get over how beautiful this venue is! I fell in love with this venue as soon as I set foot on this property. As soon as we put down our deposit and secured our date, everything started falling into place. The team that works for this venue are like no other I have ever communicated with. They brought my vision to life, and our day was truly unforgettable as a result. If you are looking for a stress-free planning process at a gorgeous venue, look no further!!!
