Wedding Venues in Arnold, CA

“AMAZING!!! The venue is so beautiful I was so happy how everything turned out. Debbie is the coordinator that’s run the venue is truly the sweetest and best coordinator. I loved working with her, she was amazing and so organized. My day couldn’t have gone any better. I wish I could do it all over again.”

“Jackie was a wonderful coordinator and flexible to all of our requests and last min changes. The great pavilion was beautiful, and all our guests found time to take photos outdoors taking advantage of the picturesque fountain and gazebo in the lovely weather.”

“We had SUCH an amazing experience at Tenaya Lodge! We planned a winter wedding for February and, being from SoCal, it was a bit of a destination wedding for ourselves and our guests. The day went SO seamlessly and the staff were honestly one of my favorite parts of it. Starting with the moment we checked in for the week, everyone from the front desk staff to the waiters at our rehearsal dinner and wedding were so professional, kind, and excited for us. They really added to the experience. The facilities themselves are gorgeous. We got married on the terrace, surrounded by the view of the mountains. My husband and I took a little hike through the grounds with our photographer, it was so fun! Our guests RAVED about the facilities and had so much fun - many of them coordinated family day trips into the park. Some of our classy guests who are used to high end travel were very happy with the service and quality of the resort, restaurant, and bar. Many of our guests were traveling with small children and they also found it a really positive wedding experience - they were able to stay at the wedding all night and the kids had a blast. Some families stayed in the cabins and enjoyed that experience as well. The local vendors are awesome. The only caution I would warn new brides of is to OVER communicate during the planning stage. The wedding brochure is slightly outdated and doesn’t always have complete information. For example, we got caught having to pay an extra 700 to upgrade our meal package to include a third entree after we found out we had more than the allowed number of vegetarians, even though the brochure states that guests on a vegetarian or special diet will be accommodated, and does not state that there is a limit to the number of vegetarian/special diets. I would also encourage brides to use a wedding planner. As a type A person, I thought I could plan the wedding myself. However, the venue hosts many events and the venue coordinator does not always have extra time to really help you plan your dream wedding the way a planner can. Especially if you don’t live locally, you will really benefit from a planner who has worked at the venue before. Overall, we and all of our guests were super happy with our experience at Tenaya and would like to thank all the hard working staff who made our dreams come true!!!”

“We had our wedding reception here on 4/13 and we loved how it turned out! The staff was amazing and helpful day of our wedding. The price is very affordable especially for such a large hall. Definitely would recommend to anyone going the cheaper route (:”

“Mara and her wedding planners did a fantastic job making sure we got our dream wedding. Their combined experience and knowledge steered us in the right direction, guided us and gave us insight so our day could go off without a hitch. We had so much fun and get exactly what we wanted, at a reasonable price. Highly recommend this gorgeous venue by the river !!”
