    Twenty Mile House Best Wedding Experience

    Twenty Mile House went above and beyond our expectations. We could not have asked for a better wedding experience. The vendors were perfect (especially the food), the venue couldn't have been more beautiful with the river flowing through the property, all of our wedding guests were obsessed with staying on property through the weekend, and having Rachel and Penie every step of the way through the coordination was a huge plus. We just wish we had more time there so we could keep on partying. Thank you TMH for making our weekend special.

    Twenty Mile House's reply:

    Wedding of our dreams!

    Twenty Mile House was the absolute perfect venue for us! We knew we wanted to get married in the Forest, but were not sure where. After sending out email request for information to several different locations, Rachel at Twenty Mile House was the first to respond. She was so helpful in answering all our questions and getting us the information we needed to make a decision. We live in Southern California and were not able to go up and view the property so she offered us a virtual tour. After that we were sold and booked it without seeing it in person! Thankfully it was the best decision we made. We got to go up a couple months later to attend one of their open houses to meet the vendors and see the accommodations, we immediately knew we made a great choice! Once the planning started we worked with Penie who was the best coordinator and was on top of everything. I have never planned anything like this before and she made the whole experience stress free and easy. The vendors were all lovely to work with and when the day came it was exactly what we hoped for. Everyone hit it out of the park and us along with our guest had the best time! It is so special that several of our guest got to stay on the property with us and the cabins are so charming and comfortable. If you are looking for the best wedding venue with the best staff and gorgeous location you need not look any further, Twenty Mile House is it!

    The Perfect Venue for a Perfect Day

    My now wife and I first toured Twenty Mile House in August of 2022, and right away, we knew that the venue, and the people that ran it, were special. Flash forward to our wedding day at Twenty Mile House in September 2023, where we looked back and realized it was truly the best choice we could have ever made!

    The wonderful staff of Twenty Mile made everything so easy and seamless, which are frequently not the words that come to mind while you are planning a wedding! They have a bunch of go-to vendors that they work with on a regular basis, who are all extremely talented, professional, and easy to work with! The team really allows you to control as much of the planning process as you want, and are great at adjusting for any accomodations that you or your party needs, allowing for a unique and individualized experience. 🙂 The staff also went above and beyond to make sure that we, and all of our guests, had the night of our lives. We are so glad to be able to look back and relive our perfect day at such an amazing and beautiful venue. ♥️

    We HIGHLY recommend Twenty Mile House for any perspective couples looking for their dream wedding in the Lost Sierra. You will NOT be disappointed!

    Twenty Mile House's reply:

    Hello Iain & Molly,

    I am so overjoyed to hear that you found Twenty Mile House special from the moment you came to visit and that you have so many wonderful words to say about your perfect wedding day! It was an amazing privilege to have been part of it!

    Thank you again for choosing us at Twenty Mile House. I wish you both a lifetime filled with cherished memories!

    Dream Wedding

    I can't recommend the Twenty Mile House enough. We got married in September 2023 and it was absolutely beautiful. We were stressed thinking about starting the planning process but the staff made it easy and enjoyable. Everything you need, from flowers, to photography, to catering, to the DJ were in house and they were all fantastic. It was so nice to know that everything was being taken care of for us so we were able to completely relax and enjoy the day. My husband and I both don't like taking photos, but the photographer made the photo session fun and captured the day perfectly for us. It started to sprinkle and before we knew it all the guests had umbrellas and there were tents above the tables, without us having to ask or worry about a thing. The rain quickly passed and the DJ had everyone on the dance floor all night. The food and desserts were all delicious and the caterer did a great job working with our dietary restrictions. We got so many complements on how beautiful the venue was and how magical the night felt. Thank you Twenty Mile House for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

    Twenty Mile House's reply:

    Hello Hilary,

    We’re extremely delighted to have been part of your wedding! Thank you for all of your kind words; we’re so happy to hear that your day was relaxing and enjoyable.
    We really loved getting to meet your family and friends, and to join in on the celebration!

    We wish you Jon all the best and for a happy life together! Thank you once again for choosing Twenty Mile House to celebrate your special day.

    Best,

    Let the beauty of this venue speak for itself

    My husband and I got married at the Twenty Mile House in the beginning of September and it could not have been a more perfect day! All of the staff working the rehearsal dinner, wedding day, and the next morning were nothing be helpful and congratulatory. I lost my mother to cancer 4 months before our wedding and Penie (TMH coordinator) was nothing more than accommodating in changes all the plans we had already made! Not to mention that this venue is all-inclusive which made our planning the easiest thing ever!! Not having to worry about communicating/coordinating with a ton of vendors made the whole process of wedding planning smooth. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married near Lake Tahoe and the Twenty Mile House encapsulates Lake Tahoe with less crowds and more charm, plus the history of the venue is hard to beat. We will never forget our magical day at Twenty Mile House.

    Twenty Mile House's reply:

    Hi Nicole,

    I’m so happy that your Wedding at Twenty Mile House was the perfect day! Your praise for the charm and history of the venue is heartwarming, and we are all honored to have been a part of your magical wedding!

    Thank you for choosing Twenty Mile House to host your wedding. I wish you and Koby a lifetime filled with love and happiness!

    Warmest Wishes,

    Book your wedding here.

    Our expectations were really high going in after reading all the other reviews for this venue and it still exceeded all of them. Penie, our coordinator, and the rest of the staff at Twenty Mile House and their included vendors executed on our vision for our wedding perfectly and made it an amazing celebration. All we needed to do was outline the general idea of what we wanted and then let the professionals at TMH do their thing. Having all the vendors attached to the venue really simplified our planning and made the wedding day celebration run like clockwork. All our guests commented on how it was the best wedding they’ve been to and we were beyond thrilled. We can’t thank Penie (coordinator), Rachelle (photographer), Will (DJ), Sonia (florist), Holly (caterer), Kim (desserts), Rachel (coordinator) and staff enough for all their hard work putting the whole celebration together. We couldn’t have been happier. Again…book your wedding here. Thanks so much TMH! - Noah & Carly

    So incredible

    Every detail, every moment is meticulously planned, and the best part?... it's not you who has to do it! Say yes or no, provide some inspiration and watch your wedding come to life with TMH. They made it so easy and facilitated communication with their vendors. If we got to do it all again, we would pick TMH every time

    Mountain Wedding Magic

    It's hard to fully describe our exceptional experience during all phases of working with Twenty Mile House -- from collaborating with Rachel and Penie planning, to working with the incredible vendors and TMH staff, to the best weekend and wedding experience we could have dreamed of, to the kind messages and ease of wrapping up a sensational event.

    With a deep love of the mountains and Graeagle area, we wanted to not only get married in this special place but also share the magic of this area with friends and family. Twenty Mile House was the perfect venue for creating the experience we wanted - turning a beautiful wedding into a weekend event where our guests felt welcomed, could spend quality time, and get to vacation in a stunning location. Friends and family were able to stay onsite, we did a 60+ person float down the Feather river ending at the property, and host a 100+ person Welcome dinner the night, in addition to a stunning wedding.

    Beyond this, what made Twenty Mile House feel truly special was the above and beyond work and kindness of Penie, the TMH staff, and vendors -- from the minute details to the big moments, we felt completely taken care of and supported. With an amazing combination of ease, thoughtfulness, and expertise the TMH team was THE BEST! Additionally, the vendors -- as people who love food -- we were SO happy working with Grandma Janes Place for desserts (only regret is not eating more at the wedding!) and Holly at Pangaea Catering was the right move -- everything was delicious, very enjoyed by guests, and wonderful to design a menu perfect for us. DJ Duckie was a hit and kept everyone dancing until the very end and working with Rachelle from Composing Reality felt natural and captured our event beautifully.

    Could not recommend Twenty Mile House enough -- now we are waiting for friends or family to get married so we can go back as guests!

    Twenty Mile House's reply:

    Hello Adrienne,

    Your exceptional experience at Twenty Mile House fills me with so much joy! We’re so grateful for your kind words and so thrilled that Twenty Mile House provided the perfect backdrop for your special day. It was a pleasure to be a part of making your wedding dreams come true!

    Thank you again so much for choosing the Twenty Mile House to host your magical celebration! I wish you and David all the best!

    Warmest wishes,

    Best of the best!

    We got married here July 26, 2023 and have nothing but positive things to say about this place. TMH exceeded all of our expectations and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering getting married here!

    As our first impression of TMH, Rachel can take most of the credit for our decision. Her virtual tour with us was outstanding, and could not even compare to any of the others we spoke to. And that is specifically speaking to her skills. She really took the time to give us a full “experience” of the property, answering all of our questions, initially and along the way, so that we really got a good and complete picture, even without seeing the venue in person. She always made herself available and was responsive to our every need, as we made our decision. Her upfront and honest answers helped us to work within the timeline we had, make informed decisions, and ultimately make TMH a reality for us.

    Penie, the coordinator, far exceeded everything we could have hoped for, and then some. We attribute so much of our amazing experience at TMH to her and her efforts, from the very beginning all the way through the end. She worked with us to achieve our very unique vision, including all kinds of surprises, and executed it flawlessly. It was clear that creating our vision really mattered to her. She knew all of our surprises so well that she even took ownership of them on the day of, in order to help alleviate our stress, even though they were not her responsibility to take on. Throughout the planning process, she was very responsive and organized. We know she had many other couples but we always felt like we were the only one she was working with. Her personality also made communication and planning with her a joy, instead of stressful. Throughout our stay, but more specifically on the wedding day, we never had to worry about a thing as we knew she had our backs. We knew we could rely on her, and trusted her. We left many planning and detail decisions up to her, as we trusted her judgement and expertise, and we were not disappointed. She did an excellent job with EVERY little detail of our day! After being involved with quite a few weddings, it is easy to see how fortunate we were to have Penie. She is a stellar asset to TMH, and we will forever be grateful to her.

    The vendors that are included in the package worked very well together, and it was very apparent that they knew TMH well. It seemed like they were all TMH staff, and that made a huge difference in the way they worked and the ease of the day.

    All accommodations were clean, stocked, and ready to go when we arrived. Even unexpected things were stocked, such as coffee, hair dryers, beach towels, Qtips, makeup remover, etc. If any of our guests needed anything (such as extra coffee), the staff at the General Store were happy to help. Sam and Susie stood out as TMH staff that helped us and our guests with anything that we needed throughout our entire stay. Special shoutout to Sam for agreeing to be our “fake officiant” and pulling it off, with no suspicion from any guests! Our guests appreciated the character of the accommodations, as they were all very special, unique, and carried their own charm. Creekside was by far our favorite, and we enjoyed all of its special touches: hot tub, breakfast patio, nice shower, both bedrooms, etc.

    We had multiple people tell us this was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we know that this reflected largely on TMH and its staff. All of the TMH staff on the wedding day worked together to ensure that we, as the couple, didn’t have a single worry or concern. We were able to relax and truly enjoy our day from beginning to end, and we know TMH played a huge part in that. Even with all the advance planning of the timeline and all the little details, we didn’t feel responsible for any of it on the day, as it was all being taken care of around us. Everything flowed well from one “stage” to the next. We were impressed with all the coordination that went on behind the scenes to allow this to happen. The few times that our input was needed day of, it was handled gracefully by TMH staff and was not disruptive or stressful. TMH staff did a really good job of making us, as well as our guests, feel extremely special and important. TMH staff worked well with all vendors to make the day completely seamless.

    The ceremony and reception site couldn’t have been more beautiful, and it was obvious that the small details matter to TMH. It was better than we could ever have dreamed, and we got comments from our guests on every single detail. Our ceremony and reception were far from traditional, and they were pulled off without a hitch. We were able to take everything TMH offered and turn it into something unique and special to us. We appreciated TMH’s extraordinary flexibility in executing our vision. There was never any concern that we were going to get a “cookie cutter” experience out of an all-inclusive venue. Overall, TMH’s package offering took a huge burden off the planning process, which was a major selling point for us.

    Twenty Mile House's reply:

    Hi Ryan & Ben,

    I am completely elated by your positive feedback about your wedding at Twenty Mile House! Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience and your recommendation. It’s heartwarming to hear that your family and friends found your wedding to be the best they’ve ever attended, and that you were able to relax and truly enjoy your special day from start to finish. I had so much fun watching everyone take their turn to hit the pinata and the special look on their faces in awe of your slideshow.

    I wish you both the very best & a long and happy life together! Thank you again for choosing us at Twenty Mile House to celebrate your special day.

    Best wishes,

    Penie

    Incredible venue!

    Where to even begin?? We got married at Twenty Mile House in May, and it was a dream every step of the way. The venue itself is incredible - its natural beauty, its quaint and romantic vibe, but also the great work that the staff does to keep it maintained, clean, and orderly. So many guests asked us how we found such a gorgeous venue!

    TMH’s all-inclusive nature made things so, so easy as well. We really enjoyed wedding planning, which we attribute entirely to their seamless setup. And every TMH vendor was amazing individually:

    Sonia (florist): Our florals were so beautiful, which is 100% on Sonia! We met with her over the phone and told her we didn’t know anything about flowers, so we didn’t have any direction to give her besides a high-level color scheme, and just trusted her to work her magic. And she did!

    Will (DJ): Our guests loved the dance floor playlist! We love to dance, so we planned things out to have as much dancing as possible. Will kept everyone moving for FOUR HOURS, and we all had a blast!

    Kim (desserts): The desserts were lovely, and Kim even whipped up a vegan cutting cake to accommodate my dietary restrictions. Her stuff is just as delicious as it is gorgeous!

    Holly (catering): Holly was such an amazing thought partner as we planned out our menu. We were not her easiest customers because one of us is vegan, the other is vegetarian, and we wanted to serve an all-vegetarian menu. Holly wasn’t intimidated in the slightest and helped us plan fully veggie menus for the rehearsal dinner, hors d’oeuvres, and reception dinner. The food was wonderful all around, and she was even able to accommodate additional (and unusual) dietary restrictions among our guests. She and her staff are excellent!

    Rachelle (photography): Rachelle is stellar and made us feel so comfortable all day long. Your photographer is with you for the most intimate moments, so you really want someone who has the right attitude/vibe/presence. That’s Rachelle all over! She is so warm and easy to get along with. And her photos are WONDERFUL!

    Staff: We had such positive experiences with every TMH staff member we worked with, from the grounds crew, to the housekeeping staff, to the bartenders. Absolutely everyone was friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make things convenient for us. They have a great team!

    Rachel (Director of Events): We talked to Rachel a lot when we were initially booking TMH and then later for the more business side of things. She is fantastic and really knows her stuff. We walked out of our first meeting with Rachel already positive that we’d be booking TMH.

    Penie (Wedding Coordinator): We CANNOT say enough wonderful things about Penie. Having Penie as our wedding coordinator was such a gift. She is incredibly organized and on top of things, and she kept us on track the entire planning process. When we showed up onsite the day before our wedding, we were able to completely hand the reins over to her, take a big sigh of relief, and focus on enjoying the weekend, because we were 100% confident that Penie was in control, knew our vision, and was going to execute. And she did!! We feel so lucky to have gotten to work with her!

    Overall, TMH was an incredible place to get married. We would recommend it to anyone who dreams of getting married in the forest, with soft light filtering through the trees, as a babbling stream flows nearby. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone at TMH!

    Twenty Mile House's reply:

    Twenty Mile House For the Win

    There's no way you can go wrong with any part of your wedding experience at Twenty Mile House. The flowers, the food, the photography, the music, the coordination.......TMH is truly as special as it is billed. From day one we felt important and valued. Having someone to walk us through our journey made the process so much less stressful than it could have been.
    It's truly so difficult to put into words how special the property at TMH is. From the historic buildings, to the forest, to the river, to the train track, to the guests cabins. These elements combined made our day and night truly magical.

    Stunning venue, fantastic staff, on-site accommodations, and seamless vendor coordination made for a truly unforgettable and magical experience!

    We had our wedding at Twenty Mile House in August and it was an unforgettable experience! The venue is simply stunning, it’s truly magical and was the most amazing backdrop for our wedding weekend. We loved every minute of it!

    From start to finish, Penie and the TMH staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect for the big day. We are so grateful to have Penie as our wedding coordinator, she’s one of a kind! Penie is incredibly organized, professional, and always available to answer any questions or concerns which made all the planning leading up to the wedding feel very manageable. Her attention to detail, passion for her job, and calm demanor truly made a huge difference. We were so grateful to have had her by our side throughout the planning process and our wedding weekend.

    Throughout the weekend, the staff at Twenty Mile House were welcoming, attentive, and made sure everyone was having a great time. Everything was perfectly coordinated and all their behind the scenes work allowed us to relax and enjoy every minute of our wedding.

    In addition to the incredible venue and top-notch service, one of the highlights of having our wedding at Twenty Mile House was the on-site accommodations. Having our wedding party stay on-site made the entire experience even more special and intimate. The rooms were comfortable and well-appointed, and being able to spend the whole weekend together allowed us to spend quality time with our favorite people.

    Our only concern with Twenty Mile House was off-site accommodations for our guests. However, we were able to find a variety of accommodations to meet our guests needs and got nothing but compliments on our choice of venue and the surrounding area. These included room blocks at a couple upscale golf resorts, a room block at a rustic lodge, and a smattering of cabins and houses. We also provided a door-to-door shuttle service for the rehearsal dinner and ceremony/reception which made everything easy for our guests.

    Having all the vendors through Twenty Mile House really helped with all the logistics of wedding planning. We were impressed with the quality of each of the vendors, and how seamlessly all of the vendors worked together. Everything was coordinated flawlessly, making for a smooth and stress-free experience. Each vendor brought their own unique touch to the day, and it was wonderful to see everything come together so beautifully.

    Special callout for the food (Pangea) and the dessert (Grandma Jane’s Place). Everything was delicious, with a menu that was tailored to our tastes and preferences. My guests were raving about the quality of the meal, and we were definitely impressed.

    Overall, choosing Twenty Mile House as my wedding venue was the best decision we could have made. The combination of a stunning venue, fantastic staff, on-site accommodations, a wedding coordinator who truly cares, and seamless vendor coordination made for a truly unforgettable and magical experience.

    Amazing wedding-would highly recommend

    Our experience at the Twenty Mile House for our wedding was literally one of the best choices I've ever made. They made the day for my wife and I absolutely incredible. I cannot recommend this place enough for couples who love the outdoors and intimate settings. It was romantic, intimate and in a one of a kind spot. Every single vendor was so helpful and knowledgeable and amazing to work with. Would also highly suggest for any same sex couples looking for a highly inclusive environment for their wedding.

    Making Magic Happen in the Lost Sierras

    We started planning our wedding back in March 2020 with Rachel Mann. Due to COVID restrictions, we weren't able to actually go and visit onsite, but simply based on the photos and the strong connection we felt we shared with Rachel, we decided to move forward site unseen. Rachel and team served as a tremendous resource for us as we dove into the craziness of planning. We ultimately shifted our date twice and each time, the TMH team was flexible, fair, and incredibly easy to work with.

    As we approached the date, we started to really kick planning into high gear with Penie Derrick -- she was a true godsend. Pennie managed to balance our preferences, thoughts, feelings with her expertise and know-how of what works best at TMH to help produce an incredible weekend of events.

    We first got to TMH on Sunday morning for our Monday wedding. Penie and her staff did an amazing job helping arrange everything onsite. We did not have a wedding planner or day-of-coordinator -- it was just us, Penie, and the rest of the staff working together to get everything prepped and honestly, we had to do only the bare minimum (show up with alcohol and special decorations) -- the TMH staff did all the rest. They were kind, considerate, knowledgeable, calm -- their collective high-caliber competence and delightful demeanor worked wonders in helping to make the wedding day itself a serene and beautiful experience for us.

    The wedding day itself, Penie kicked things into overdrive and it was a sight to behold. She was the conductor of the chaos that is the wedding prep and pulled it all off without a hitch. Penie even made time to constantly check in on the bride and make sure she had whatever she needed at all times. As the timing continued to slip and best laid plans required last minute adjustments, Penie was the cool, calm captain of our wedding ship that steered unflinchingly through the stormy waters. One of our favorite moments came between the ceremony and reception when Penie brought us a full plate of appetitzers in a tucked away corner, just so we could catch our breath for a moment -- it was so thoughtful and kind, we were both incredibly touched by her gesture of kindness.

    The reception and party was absolute perfection for us -- it couldn't have possibly gone any better. We're pretty sure we even saw Rachel hopping over to help man the bar at one point!

    Overall, we couldn't recommend working with Twenty Mile House any more strongly. It is a special place run by an incredible staff -- we feel so lucky to have found such a perfect venue to host our wedding and feel deeply appreciative and grateful to all the wonderful people who helped us pull it off!

    The best place ever!

    Twenty mile house is an absolute DREAM! I just got married there a few days ago and my big day was nothing short of perfection. The grounds are so beautiful and well kept. The housing accommodations are beautifully kept and display the antique charm that the venue prides itself on. The staff could not have been any more accommodating and amazing. You could tell everyone who worked there loves working there and is genuinely so happy to make the couples day!

    Now let's get into vendors and planning:

    Penie who is the wedding coordinator at Twenty Mile is a fairy god mother! Any vision you have, she can turn into reality. She is prompt when you email her with questions and is always on top of every detail. She's genuinely so happy and excited for every couple that comes through that venue. Penie is the sweetest human I think I've ever met and I couldn't be more pleased with how everything came together!

    Holly- best caterer ever!!! The food was amazing and Holly was just the easiest to work with. We had some picky eaters in the crowd and she was able to cater our more complex taste to the liking of our plain Jane eaters. She went around multiple times during dinner to make sure everything was delicious and she even made modifications of our rehearsal dinner food so my baby niece could participate in the festivities. Her and her catering staff were so kind and you could tell they truly wanted our day to be amazing

    Kim- she did our desserts and absolutely rocked it. We decided to go for a dessert bar instead of cake for everyone and it was the best decision ever! There were items that we hadn't seen on her menu but she was able to make for our day! Everything was so delicious, especially our small cutting cake. Me and my husband couldn't get enough of it and have already had some more of it!!

    Sonia- she made the most beautiful flower arrangements I have ever seen. My vision was whatever was in season and make it look like you went out to a field and picked a bouquet of flowers and she did just that! Such an amazing eye for dimension and colors!

    Rachelle- our photographer- could not have been any better. As someone who is uncomfortable in front of the camera, she really hyped me up and coached me on how to be natural. She also had so many great ideas and visions of what to photograph. I am so excited to see how our photos turned out. We had a blast hanging out with her and joking around while getting photos done! She knows the venue like the back of her hand and knows exactly what shots to get while also being very open to your suggestions as well!

    DJ Duckie- this man came out of the woodworks for our big day! He played the music which we suggested, but in hindsight, I wish we would've just let him play his own mixes. Will saw me and my husbands music style and made the decision to start playing his mixes which is more dirty house and I have never felt happier!! I haven't been to a concert or festival since before Covid and Will was able to provide me with the joy of experiencing that at my own wedding. He legit put on a show just for us and it was the coolest experience ever! When he plays the stuff he's super passionate about, he SHINES and everyone in attendance can tell and can feel the good vibes from him. 10/10 would recommend! If you're into house and dance music and don't want to play the basic wedding songs, let Will know to play his stuff- it makes a world of difference!

    Lastly, I wanted to shout out the bar staff at Twenty mile! They were all so sweet! We had custom cocktails night of that weren't common drinks and were custom and they made it EXACTLY the way it tasted from a restaurant I got it from. When there were any questions about the recipe, the reached out and made sure everything was correct! At the end of the night we had some really buzzed guests and they were amazing at making sure that those guests were drinking water and limiting their intake!

    All in all, getting married at Twenty Mile House was the best decision I have ever made. My wedding day was truly everything I imagined and more and couldn't have done it without all of these lovely vendors!

    Cheers!

    Best day of our lives

    Everything was perfect and stress free. Penie was our wedding coordinator and we hired the recommended vendors from TMH. Every vendor worked together perfectly to make our wedding truly incredible. I may be biased but it was the best wedding I’ve ever been to by far. The food is magnificent, the venue is amazing, the people are incredible. We had to do almost nothing to plan our wedding. We just said “this is kind of what we have in mind” and Penie made it all happen. We even had a situation where my dad had to return to their cabin to get insulin and missed the anniversary dance. My mom was standing at the side of the dance floor saddened by his absence. When he returned I said “Penie my mom is sad please fix it.” She immediately went to the DJ and had my parents announced with a special dance for their 39 years of marriage to their wedding song and saved the day. I can go on and on about our perfect wedding at Twenty Mile house. We’ve talked about it non stop since our wedding day. Literally the best day of my life.

    Twenty Mile House's reply:

    Hello Earl,

    I am so thrilled that your’s and Anna’s special day was perfect and stress free. I am so happy that you both had a memorable day! I really loved getting to know you and Anna during the planning process and it was such a delight to have all your friends and family celebrating together at the Twenty Mile House.

    I wish you both all the very best and a very happy life together! Thank you again for choosing Twenty Mile House.

    Your search is over

    TAKE THE TIME TO READ THIS ONE! I’m going to take the time to write the review I wish I would have found when I was wedding venue/vendor shopping. I’m going to break it all down for you and tell you what you really want to know. No BS.

    Overall:
    Twenty Mile House was hands down THE BEST WEDDING DECISION WE MADE. Every time I think about that magical day I feel so lucky to have found this place. It’s exactly what I was looking for and more. So many of the typical issues that brides can have will be avoided simply by having TMH host your wedding. If you like the pictures/vibe on their website, then your search is over. This is the place you want. Book it. It’s worth every penny and more. Trust me, I already wasted all my time asking the millions of questions and came up satisfied.

    Venue:
    Twenty Mile House itself is the stuff of wedding dreams. It is in the beautiful Lost Sierra’s on a 200-acre vintage estate. The ceremony site is nestled in a clearing in the woods, surrounded by towering pines. It feels intimate, personal, and just perfect. The reception is set up on the red brick patio & garden lawns with a beautiful red brick house as the back drop. There’s a cute little “general store” with a bar area outside and food & coffee/tea are served buffet style inside (if that’s what you choose). There are white twinkle lights wrapped around all the trees and draping like a canopy over the seating area and dance floor. The grounds and gardens are pristine. There’s a creek, a cute little bridge, a river, and railroad tracks. I mean, come on, what else could you ask for? It is understated elegance at its finest.

    Nitty gritty:
    We got married on April 26th, 2022 and stayed at TMH for 3 nights. The entire place is included with all the cabins so 36 people can stay comfortably on site. It includes your choice of ceremony and reception site, arch, tables, chairs, linens, tableware, glassware, ALL staff/servers/bartenders, set-up, and take-down. You just tell them how you want everything and they make it happen. Vendors included are a wedding coordinator, caterer, baker, photographer, DJ, and florist. You just need to find your own videographer, transportation, hair & makeup, stationary, and any other extras you want. (But they have a list of recommended vendors on their website.) This AMAZING team of vendors each orchestrate their part flawlessly. That was one of the things that I didn’t even realize would be a huge benefit until afterwards. There were ZERO coordination issues. This staff does nearly 100 weddings a year together. Everyone knows their role and they have figured out how they intersect with each other. They know how the other thinks and can nearly read each other’s minds. Best part is this all happens behind the scene and they pull it off like a beautiful dance. You feel like royalty. Everyone is there to support you and make your day (or days) perfect. From the moment we unloaded our stuff, they handled EVERYTHING. Even things I expected to have to do, I would find it already handled exactly as I would have handled it. You can expect to do all the planning, communicate the details, and then leave the coordination and execution to them! It’s glorious. The team at TMH exceeded our expectations in the ways they were able to not only pull off our vision EXACTLY, but also anticipate all our needs and desires. I was never made to feel like any request was too much, but rather that they were eager and excited to accommodate. You’ll leave here feeling like you stepped out of a fairy tale and you were a queen for a day. *sigh*

    While all the staff at TMH went above and beyond, Rachel (wedding coordinator) deserves her own paragraph. She is the embodiment of integrity, organization, and clarity. I feel so lucky to have had her as my wedding coordinator, but I think she should change her title to wedding genie. She has a calm, confident presence that was exactly what this high anxiety bride needed. From my very first novel email to the last, she patiently (and quickly!) worked through my 100’s of questions and never missed one. She follows up, follows through, and makes your dreams come true. I know that sounds cliche, but it’s true. She makes you feel like you’re the only thing she has going on when I know in fact she has tons of others demanding her time and attention. During the wedding planning process, she was able to keep me grounded while keeping the magic alive at the same time. When she says she will do something, she does it. When she tells you something is a good/bad idea, take it as the gospel truth. She is the perfect balance between advice and support. She has a gift for being able to figure out what you want and how to make that work in what she can offer. She gives her honest opinion and doesn’t sugar coat the possibilities. She takes the time to get to know you and the vibe you are after and then executes it flawlessly. She helped me set realistic expectations and more than once she was the voice of reason that reminded me of what was important and helped me relax during the wedding planning process. For example, we were getting to the end of the line and there was still so much that wasn’t done on my end (I was in NP school and working while wedding planning), so I was sending her an email from the airport on my way to Cabo for my bachelorette party. She wrote back in all caps with red font: “STOP WORKING AND GO ENJOY YOUR TIME WITH YOUR FRIENDS!! :)” (but she still answered all my questions!) Everyone probably feels this way after working with her, but I feel like we became friends throughout the process and I wish I could have taken her home with me. Maybe she is just that good. But I seriously love her.

    In a nutshell:
    If you want to have the wedding of your dreams and not lose your mind trying to pull it off, this is the place for you.

    Ruth (& Tim)

    PS: If you use the beautiful wooden photo backdrop, my husband and Father-in-law built that! Please sign the back like we did so when we go back to visit we can see all the other couples who got to enjoy it too :)

    Perfection

    This venue is absolutely beautiful. We were so excited for our wedding party and guests to see it, and everyone loved it. We loved the history of the site, and the atmosphere is so joyful and tranquil. The staff were incredible, and very responsive to questions. They are so organized, and made planning very easy. On the day, we all also appreciated that we didn’t have a lot of work to do (e.g. setting up and decorating). Everyone was able to just enjoy the day. TMH is definitely worth it. Absolutely perfect.

    Hello Jessica,

    Amazing venue and even better staff!

    You absolutely should make Twenty Mile House one of your top options! Twenty Mile House created the most unbelievable experience for us as we planned our wedding. When we were first touring different sites, we were more aware that a lot of vendors were stressed with the post-covid demand and it seemed like our basic questions were a bit too detailed (or even just questions one shouldn't ask). Upon touring Twenty Mile, Rachel (Director of Events) made us feel so at ease and gave us amazing recommendations for things to think about as we enter the planning process.

    When we decided to move forward with Twenty Mile, the process could not have been easier. All the vendors we worked with made themselves available for any/all questions and also it was clear how closely they worked with one another. Penie, our coordinator, did a fabulous job of not only making sure all items were checked off the list, but every want (down to the last fine detail) was noted so that the day of, she would have smooth execution.

    Probably the most amazing part of this whole experience was the day of the wedding, so many friends and family commented on how beautiful the location was, how amazing and friendly the staff was, and also, just how superb the service and experience ended up being. We could not have been happier and if I could have a wedding again, I would not even hesitate to go back.

    Twenty Mile House's reply:

    Hello Gail,

    It is so awesome to hear that you and Ben had the most unbelievable experience planning your wedding at Twenty Mile House. It was such a pleasure working with you both, helping plan your special day, and being able to celebrate with your family and friends as well!

    I wish all the best for you in your long and happy life together. Thank you again so much for choosing Twenty Mile House!

    The Most Magical Place to Start Our Forever

    From the moment I saw the pictures, I knew Twenty Mile House was where I wanted our forever to begin. Just like I knew my husband was The One, I knew Twenty Mile House was The One. They make the wedding process so simple and painless, and their team of vendors really can customize just about anything for your vision. Our coordinator, Penie, was outstanding! Her creative problem solving and quick responses alleviated all my worries. She went above and beyond to make our dreams a reality with the setup and décor, especially after some of our plans went haywire just weeks before the wedding. She saved the day in so many ways. On our wedding day, I heard from basically everyone that I was the most relaxed and stress-free bride they had ever seen – I owe that ALL to Penie and the TMH team! (My amazing husband gets a little credit, too.)

    Rachelle, the photographer, was so on top of it with the schedule and capturing the photos we wanted. Our guests raved about the food from Pangaea Catering (and the late night bites were a huge hit!). We had the buffet in the general store and I was particularly impressed when the friendly staff came out to the tables to offer seconds and bring food directly to our guests. That was such a classy touch and our guests really appreciated it. The dessert bar was devoured and a definite showpiece at the reception. The grounds are immaculate and the privacy of the location made everything so intimate. Our guests were in awe of the stunning natural beauty, and we heard from many of them that it was the best wedding they had ever been to.

    We want to thank the entire team for creating this once-in-a-lifetime experience for us that we get to carry with us forever. There is something so magical about Twenty Mile House – it truly was a fairytale come true!

It was such an honor to be a part of your day and to be able to celebrate you and Brandon with all of your family and friends.

    I wish you both the best for a happy life together! Thank you again for choosing Twenty Mile House to celebrate your wedding day!
