During wedding planning, everyone tells you that something unexpected is bound to happen or that something won't go according to plan. As a Type A over-planner, I was determined not to let that happen. But the moment we arrived at Twenty Mile House, I realized I didn't have to be the control freak I usually am. The TMH team handled every detail with such calm professionalism that I was able to relax and truly enjoy the experience. From the very beginning, we were impressed. Our virtual tour with Rachel made us fall in love with the venue; Kevin and Karen worked with us to make our budget work, Joe gave us a wonderful tour when we returned after booking; and Ashleigh patiently answered all of my questions--no matter how late I sent them. The venue itself feels like something out of a storybook. Every one of our guests raved about the beautiful setting, the accommodations, the incredible staff, the ceremony site, and even the fact that there wasn't a restrictive noise ordinance. Everything exceeded our expectations. Not a day has gone by since our wedding that I haven't said, "I wish I could do it all over again." Choosing Twenty Mile House was one of the best decisions we made, and I couldn't recommend it more highly. read more

My husband and I had the most gorgeous wedding here! It was very important for us that we got married in nature, were able to be on the same property as our family and friends, and had an easy time with the planning process, as we are both healthcare workers with difficult schedules. Twenty Mile House offered all of that and more! Ashleigh, our coordinator, answered all of our questions quickly and made sure our day ran smoothly. A lot of our guests say this is the best wedding they have been to in a long time. I cannot recommend the venue enough!:) read more

What more can I say than what I have already said directly to my coordinator, my husband, my family and friends... and honestly to the universe. I have waited 16 years to finally get married and was given the green light from my fiance to have the wedding of my dreams. I searched forest wedding and Twenty Mile House was the very first one that came up. I loved that it wasn't too far of a drive away, the all inclusive packages and the accomodation option to stay on site for me and 53 of our guests. We had compared prices to similar venues but found it ridiculous that for the same price, we would only have the venue, tables and chairs at the other places. So with that, Twenty Mile House became the winner. We absolutely loved the vintage cozy look of the homes, the miles and miles of forestation leading up to and within the venue, and the most amazing staff i have ever experienced with. Both Rachel and Ashliegh were absolutely amazing! They both listened and made all of my requests come true. Some had to be compromised, but it didn't change much of my vision. Our bartender Jasper was absolutely amazing and so kind. The lights, the vibe, the music, all of the vendors... they all worked together like a well oiled machine and made every wedding planning moment up to the wedding day absolutely perfect. I'm a chill bride and solely trusted the vendors and Ashliegh on their skills and talent. I'd be lying if I wasn't nervous at times, but said yes when they said "trust us". They absolutely delivered! The cake was exactly how I'd envisioned it and was so delicious, the food was a huge hit for my husband and I and our guests (I wanted to takr home the meatballs and freeze them), the DJ was perfection, the florals were immaculate (more than what i had expected), and the photographer Rachelle was sooo kind and made our little awkward selves so comfortable. We had hired a non preferred videographer for our day but both Rachelle and Ashliegh worked well with them. Thank you Twenty Mile House for making our dream wedding a reality! We will definitely come back one day and rent one of your homes as an Air Bnb, just so we can relive a little piece of our wedding. Thank you, thank you, a million times thank you! read more

Twenty Mile House is in a lovely setting. Reminds me of an enchanted forest. I went and visited it last week and it is a perfect place for a wedding. The service is organized and the people there are friendly and accomodating. There are individual cottage/cabins which can be rented for out of town visitors and each one has a distinct character. I would recommend this place for anyone who wants a unique and warm venue for a wedding. read more

We had several guests tell us it was the best wedding they've ever been to. A magical venue and an incredible time. Anyone would be blessed to be wed here. read more

Literally a dream come true, could not have picked a more perfect venue for us!! TMH does so much of the hard work for you (we did NOT want to spend time and money picking vendors and paying a million invoices - they know who's the best and you pay one invoice!!). They hold your hand through the planning process and the day of coordinator made the day so seamless. We got to eat our wedding food and enjoy every single moment. And obviously the setting is out-of-this-world beautiful, no decor even needed. Our guests said it was the best wedding they've ever been to and we agree!! read more

We had the most wonderful wedding day here. It was absolutely beautiful and everything went smoothly. I couldn't have imagined a more perfect wedding day. The wedding staff is caring and attentive. I wish I could go back and do it all again. read more

We truly had the best time at Twenty Mile House. Everything was absolutely perfect. So many of our guests told us it was the best wedding they've ever been to, and we couldn't agree more.

I cannot say enough good things about the Twenty Mile House! I had the most amazing time on the property, a perfect wedding with outstanding staff that made me, my new husband, and all my guests feel special and at ease all weekend long. I keep getting the most incredible feedback from family and friends about how it was the most enjoyable, warm, elegant yet comfortable weddings they had ever been to that "just flowed." The truth is I cannot take credit for any of it. Everything flows seamlessly when you have fantastic and kind bar tenders keeping the party going (Devin & Jasper), outstanding vendors like Holly and her team at Pangaea and Kim and her team at Grandma Jane's Place (guests wouldn't stop talking about the food and how they normally never like food at weddings), Sonia at Gray's Flower Garden who rocked the beautiful bouquets and lined the aisle with loose white petals and baby's breath, a DJ who can "read the room" flawlessly, keeping the energy and tempo just right at all times- shout out to Will Perkins at 530 Entertainment- Kiana Bohm, Heart Root Yoga, helping my bridesmaids and I slow down and set our intentions for the day with a serene flow the morning of the wedding that recalibrated our getting ready rhythm, and incredibly skilled, professional and FUN friends behind the cameras: Rachelle Elliott (Composing Reality, photographer with TMH) and Jared Wortley (videography) who were with me pretty much all day, helping me stay present and ensuring all the magic was captured... we bonded over Holly's ridiculous meatballs and artichoke chip hors d'oeuvres half way through our couples sunset photos and had a blast working together! Each one of these integral players are fantastic on their own, but for an event like this, to pulled off at such an elevated level of artistry where everything was so well integrated and coordinated - down to every little detail like having the groom's and my favorite drink ready for us post ceremony, bringing us goodies to eat and drink when she noticed us starting to fade during a long family photo sesh, and I'm sure 100 other things I didn't even notice because I was too busy floating and enjoying my wedding (something I hear is not common as a host), could not have happened without being led by the team lead and head wedding coordinator, Chief Amazing Officer: Rachel Mann. Rachel was SO great to work with. She's very kind, extremely responsive, adaptable, intelligent and overall an incredible leader whose only concern is making the bride and groom happy. She really spoiled us. Writing this isn't as fun as I thought it would be because I don't think I'm conveying what I experienced well enough. It was better than words can describe (so please reference the large amount of attached photos lol). Everything from how cute the accommodations were, which had everything we needed like an ironing board and dress steamer, to early morning peaceful walks throughout the property with a cup of coffee and my honey with our two service dogs that of course LOVED the location- and the mini beach down by the beautiful river that flows through the property- to just being greeted by smiles from all staff members. It was an incredible atmosphere overall the whole time and I wish I could go back and relive it all! We will forever be grateful to Rachel and everyone else that at the Twenty Mile House, and others (shout out to Daria DiBitonto who made my bridesmaids and I feel gorgeous and Whitney Whiting who did magic with my hair in record time), who all made this weekend an absolute dream for Jake and I. I cannot recommend the Twenty Mile House and each vendor I mentioned enough. Best decision we made, other than tying the knot itself! read more

An unreal wedding venue! This place is truly magical and staff made us feel so special and cared for. We loved our wedding weekend and would highly recommend this beautiful venue to anyone looking. The day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly because the vendors at TMH have all worked together before. We were able to chill out and relax the day of because we felt secure knowing TMH had it all handled! Besides the staff being amazing, the venues is truly stunning nestled in the woods of Graeagle. You are surrounded by nature and trees. It feels like it's just you out there! The venue is an amazing getaway for the weekend with homey cabin accommodations onsite. read more

I attended a wedding this Saturday, and I have never felt the need to reach out to a venue the way I did after this event. My husband and I were absolutely blown away by the stunning location for the wedding and amazing set up of the reception. But, to top it all off the staff was phenomenal. I am not sure if the wedding coordinator works for you but she stepped in like a badass to conduct the ceremony when the pastor had a family emergency. The waitstaff and bar staff were friendly and jovial. Like they were happy to be there! I can't count the number of events I have been to that the staff looked like they were just waiting to clock out and collect their tips. I didn't mention the dj, amazing! Or the photographers who were friendly and engaged with the crowd. I am certain I am overlooking something, but the wedding was absolutely unforgettable. read more

We had our wedding at Twenty Miles House and it was an amazing, magical experience. We wanted a very intimate wedding with only 30 people max. Twenty Miles House is prepared for bigger guest wedding but they were very patient and understand about our vision/ wish that gave is the price that we can agree on for our intimate wedding. Preparation was very smooth and easy, Rachael and Pennie made everything easy for us with all the planning work sheet that will give idea to each vendor what our vision is. I had twin toddler under 2 years old when I was planning for wedding and I would've never made this happen without Rachael and Pennie's help. In December, we planned a detailed plan meeting with Pennie and it was super helpful to understand what will happen the day of, what still need to be planned on my side etc. I also want to give huge shoutout to Pennie since our van got stuck in the snow and couldn't go up the hill coming out for Twenty mile house (Embarrassing experience lol). Pennie stuck with us and helped us get out of this situation!! Wedding day, everything went smoothly. Our wedding day was magical. On our wedding day, we had 2 year old twins AND 2 month old baby. Twenty miles house staff made everything easy for us. We got to the venue earlier than the check in time since we had toddlers and baby, Twenty mile house staff kindly let us play at the venue while we wait for the lodge to get ready and gave us some sweets, milk and snacks. Since we have kids our wedding was with kids schedule, every staff member understand that and was super nice to us. Photographer who understand the difficulty of having toddlers and yet took the best photo of our special day with our kids, catering vendor Holly has saved us some food from our wedding in a "to go" box so that we were able to enjoy the food later on. ( And would like to mention that food was delicious ). DJ who understand out music choice and played as we requested He also kindly commented that he really enjoyed that we have included kids into our wedding every possible way. Floweriest is AMAZING! I am so in love with her work and the arch flower work was breath taking. I am still in WOW. Venue, Vendor, everything about Twenty Mile House was wonderful and it was impossible for us to have our dream wedding without them. read more

We had the most incredible experience working with the team at Twenty Mile House! They provide nearly all the vendors for our wedding weekend(photography, coordinator, catering, cake/dessert, DJ, florist, bartenders/service staff, etc.) which made planning streamlined and far less stressful. We loved the option of having the rehearsal dinner and lodging on site the night prior which allowed us to fully settle into the weekend. The venue itself is absolutely MAGICAL! From the historic buildings, sweeping trees, natural creek, and train tracks nearby, guests could not stop commenting on how gorgeous it all was. We are so grateful we found and opted to go with TMH for our wedding!!! read more

This is a beautiful venue for weddings and other large gatherings. It's "out there" but the drive is through beautiful country and the venue is worth it. If you're considering hosting an event such as a wedding and you and your guests are good with the somewhat remote location, I recommend putting Twenty Mile House on your list of possible venues. read more

Twenty Mile House is a beautiful venue and the staff are amazing. My wife and I got married here in September 2023. The wedding coordination leading up to the big day was handled by Rachel and Penny. Their performance was impressive and confidence-inspiring. My wife and I knew we were in good hands from day one. The venue is outdoors and we were a little concerned with the weather forecast. It actually sprinkled a bit after the ceremony but the staff were already on top of it. The pop up tents went up within minutes. The staff were way ahead of us with multiple contingency plans. If you are looking for a woodsy, outdoor venue for your wedding then you should definitely consider Twenty Mile House. read more

I am still on cloud 9 after getting married at Twenty Mile House! What an unforgettable day it was. Pene the wedding coordinator is truly a master at her craft and was an incredible person to have in my corner during the entire process. The venue itself is absolutely stunning and they made everything so easy. On the morning after, they had everything we brought taken down and packed up ready for us to load in the cars. Anything they can do to help the process be more manageable, they'll do it. I would highly consider getting married here, I wouldn't have changed one thing. read more

Twenty Mile House - Our sweetheart table on the best night of our lives! - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Graeagle, California

Twenty Mile House was literally THE PERFECT venue to get married at for all mountain and nature lovers! The staff were all incredibly warm, friendly, and professional as they helped us execute a wedding beyond our wildest dreams. The ceremony site is nestled in the forest besides a trickling stream - it felt like we were in a woodland fairytale! All our guests instantly fell in love with the charm and natural beauty of Twenty Mile House, and many told us our wedding was by far the best they've ever been to. Highly recommend all the preferred vendors as well- Pangea Catering (food was BOMB!), Grandma Janes Place (desserts were so delicious and elegant), flowers were perfect...you cannot go wrong with any of the vendors, but you're also free to find any of your own favorites. All the cabins on site allow for 50+ of your favorite people to stay on the property, and each cabin has a unique and cozy vibe...the party house fits 15+ and is right next to the reception area to keep the party going through all hours of the night (no noice ordinance either since the property is 300 acres of solitude in the Sierras :) We love going to Tahoe but the nearby town of Greagle is a hidden gem with cute shops and tasty treats that we will return to many more times. We left Twenty Mile House feeling like family and hope to return to this forest fairyland someday to renew our vows and keep the party going for years to come :) read more

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! read more

We booked with Twenty Mile House the day we toured - everything about this venue is absolutely beautiful, from the grounds to the amazing staff and everything in between. We knew the day we saw it that this was the place where we would begin our forever together! Once you get here, the venue speaks for itself and you'll know if it's right for you almost immediately. The communication from Rachel and Penie was incredible, they were so meticulous and answered every question with great detail. When the wedding day finally came, I didn't feel a single bit of stress thanks to their efforts in planning our whole wedding weekend down to the smallest details. They worked hard behind the scenes and all we had to do was sit back, relax, and watch the venue turn into everything we had pictured and more for our big day. During the wedding day I was able to be completely present in the moment while Rachel kept us on track with the timeline, she remembered all of the special moments I wanted captured, and the whole day flowed so effortlessly without having to worry about a single thing. We could not be more grateful for the TMH staff and everything they did to make us feel right at home. The whole experience exceeded all of our expectations and was better than we could have ever imagined. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for an all-inclusive venue!! When it comes time for a vow renewal, we already know where we will do it ... back at the place where it all began, at the Twenty Mile House! We can't wait to be back one day. read more

Recently attended our close friend's wedding at TMH and thought it was absolutely Magical! The staff and vendors were all local ones regularly used by TMH and they nailed it. Everything was perfect and the Bride and Groom were elated, having enjoyed their entire Wedding day so much. As a guest we were very impressed with TMH. The staff at TMH are unbelievably kind and genuinely caring and attentive toward the Bride and Groom and all of their guests too. These are a truly special group of people. The food was spectacular, the ambiance peacefully magical and the accommodations were top rate. The weather was perfect too. If you are looking to be married deep in the Tahoe woods, surrounded by friends and family, but also want to be catered to like at a luxury Hotel, this is your place. Never met the owner, but I'm sure he must be as kind as the folks he hired to manage and run TMH. The staff, they truly make TMH special. A very special an elegant venue. Judy M. read more

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! read more

I cant put into words how disgusted I am with this venue. I understand that it is a difficult time for people, but to force someones hand in paying additional money to protect the people they love, makes me sick! TMH insist that they can host our wedding this month. Please keep in mind that the guidelines on their website states there shouldn't be dancing or hugging and guest should be kept 6ft apart. Im sorry, but thats not the type of wedding we signed up for. We want to enjoy our special day with the people we love and be able to hug and celebrate. After contacting the California Health Department, they informed that receptions are still not permitted anywhere in California! TMH wants us to illegally host our reception and put the people we love at risk OR pay them additional money and sign a contract that guarantees them any money we have placed. Please think twice before booking this venue! This had turned in to a wedding nightmare for us read more

There's no way you can go wrong with any part of your wedding experience at Twenty Mile House.

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.

Penie is an absolute all star and helped make the brutal process of planning a wedding a lot easier. We were able to customize a perfect menu that fit our style, and the same could be said about the flowers, ceremony and reception dining. The staff was beyond incredible and accommodating.

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 read more

We had our wedding at Twenty Mile House this year and could not be more happy with the beautiful venue and amazing staff!

Hard to describe every way that Twenty Mile House is great: we fell in love with the gorgeous alpine venue setting first, but the level of service and convenience of the staff and in-house vendors sealed the deal. I didn't appreciate the peace of mind of using the in-house vendors until two days before the wedding when we arrived onsite. I was never worried or nervous about anything, all the details, timeline, etc. were taken care of and ready. The wedding was perfect and stress-free. The food was amazing and our guests all complimented us on the beautiful music, lights, and decor. We originally found Twenty Mile House because our neighbors got married there and we were looking for venues in that area, but we are lucky and glad we found them! Rachel and her staff are worth every penny. read more

I can't recommend the Twenty Mile House enough. We got married earlier this year and it was absolutely beautiful. The staff made the planning process easy and enjoyable.

Twenty Mile House - Venues & Event Spaces Near Me - Graeagle, California

We knew Twenty Mile House was special the minute we set foot on site, but we never could have imagined what a magical experience our wedding would be. Pictures and videos can't even begin to capture the incredible feeling of dropping out of time while being immersed in stunning natural surroundings and surrounded by the people you love most. From exchanging vows in the enchanted forest to dancing outdoors under the lights, we could not be happier with our decision to have our wedding at TMH. We originally picked Twenty Mile House because it met all our major criteria: 1) In the woods. 2) No alcohol restrictions. 3) No time restrictions. 4) Housing on site. 5) Site control for the entire weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun). As we quickly found out, those just scrape the surface of what makes TMH so special. It starts with Rachel, the wedding coordinator. Her title should be wedding magician. We live in NYC and were worried that the distance would be an issue. Not at all. She provided us with worksheets, timelines, contacts, suggestions, and support. Through it all, her infectious positive spirit and calm demeanor made us feel confident (even when we put off a lot of the planning till a month out!). We have no idea how she keeps everything so organized. Throughout our entire 1.5 year engagement, she responded to every question and request promptly and with such thoughtfulness. It felt as if we were her only client. This thoughtfulness continued on the wedding day, as she made sure everything went smoothly. She even personally delivered us drinks and appetizers after the ceremony while we were taking our photos. The rest of the staff were equally impressive. From the moment we arrived, we felt taken care of. Penny and her team handled everything from managing the alcohol delivery to helping us blow up floats for our rafting trip. The staff is the secret sauce to TMH, making sure that you and your guests are able to focus on all good stuff of the wedding and don't have to worry about any of the logistics. Holly at Pangaea went above and beyond and made us a custom Indonesian menu for the rehearsal dinner. Though she had never made any of the dishes, she did an absolutely amazing job. Even our Indonesian guests were blown away. That meal was definitely one of the highlights of the whole weekend. And the mini naan pizzas she made as a late night snack for our reception were delicious as well, giving our guests a boost of energy to keep the party going. The farewell breakfast was fabulous too! The party was MC'd by DJ Todd, who kept people dancing all night long. We provided him with a playlist, which he perfectly molded to keep the energy high and people of all ages engaged on the dance floor. There were roughly 140 people at our wedding so most people stayed off-site. Brad at Sierra Charters helped us set up shuttle service to take people to and from TMH. Most people rented houses nearby, so we set up shuttle stops close to where our guests were staying. Everything ran on time and allowed everyone to celebrate freely. By the end of the weekend, we lost track of how many guests complemented the venue. This has continued weeks and weeks after our wedding! We only wish we could have stayed longer. While there are so many decisions to make when planning a wedding, picking Twenty Mile House as your venue should be the easiest one of all. read more

BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES We are eternally grateful for Twenty Mile House, it's amazing staff and vendors for making our wedding day so special! Everything was absolutely perfect and we highly encourage all couples to consider this venue for their wedding. We were looking for an outdoor venue in California and came across this beautiful historical property an hour and half north of Truckee. Without skipping a beat we signed up for the next wedding faire and couldn't wait to visit the property in person. Unfortunately the pandemic delayed the wedding faire, but we decided to move forward with requesting a consultation anyways. Choosing Twenty Mile House was the best decision and we enjoyed every part of the process.  The virtual consultation was fun, interactive and informative. Once we officially began the planning process we couldn't believe how much they set us up for success. We were sent resources to help plan out our wedding vision and easily coordinated with our vendors from a far. We had a such a fun time at the wedding faire and finally got to meet all the vendors in person. Everyone is so nice, the food and desserts are absolutely delicious and the property is even more beautiful in person.  One of the main reasons we chose Twenty Mile House is because it's all inclusive and offers multiple vendors that are contracted with their specific venue. This made it extremely easy to coordinate because we didn't have to stress about finding a florist, caterer, baker, DJ, photographer and lodging for the wedding party / close family. They are extremely familiar with the area and know tips and tricks that other vendors wouldn't know about the property. There are also numerous options for decor add on's if you are open to paying additional fees and you can include additional and external vendors as well. We definitely went all out and everything was how we envisioned and more!  We had the opportunity to stay two days before our wedding and it was only our wedding party onsite. The onsite guests couldn't get enough and had a blast exploring the property. We chose to have our wedding rehearsal dinner at Twenty Mile House which was such a great decision. We worked with the same caterer and enjoyed a Taco Bar themed dinner. The following day was the wedding and it couldn't have been any better. Our day of coordinator, Rachel, was phenomenal and made sure everything went according to plan. We absolutely loved the staff and vendors because they made our day so special and we were so sad when everything was over.  The next day we didn't want the experience to end, but unfortunately it was time to check out. All our wedding guests had an amazing time, couldn't stop saying how beautiful everything was and everyone loved the property. We still find ourselves reliving that week over and over and we secretly hope someone we know will have a wedding at Twenty Mile House so we can go back and experience it as guests.  Huge thank you to our sensational coordinator Rachel for being so amazing, patient and supportive through the entire process. You all made our wedding week and we can't thank you enough. read more

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! read more

We just had our wedding at Twenty Mile House and it exceeded our expectations. Our family and friends have been raving about how much fun they had, how beautiful the venue was, and how overall it was an amazing experience. Much of that is thanks not only to the beauty of the venue but also to the Twenty Mile House staff, who are wonderful to work with and created a day that went incredibly smoothly, where we didn't have to worry about the coordination at all because they took care of it. Having an all-inclusive venue was a huge bonus - all of the vendors are excellent and work together seamlessly, which again made the day of go incredibly smoothly. Could not have imagined a better wedding day! read more

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! read more

The Twenty Mile House is continuing to host weddings this summer, in a state with rising transmission of COVID-19. The majority (95%) of our guests, including parents who are in high risk groups, would have been flying to California from New York, Ohio, and the East Coast. The pandemic forced us to change our plans, and per our contractual agreement, the owner kept our deposits ($10,000). We turned down the $2,500 postponement fee to move the wedding to 2021. If you're getting married this year, buy wedding insurance! Talk to your venue BEFORE you sign any contracts and discuss what will happen if the pandemic interferes with your wedding plans. read more

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. read more

We just had our wedding here 2 weeks ago and I can't recommend it enough. Initially I was afraid it would be out of our budget but then once we realized that everything we needed was included it was a no brainer. We both work intensive jobs and didn't want to hire a planner so this venue was perfect for us because so much of what you need to do to plan a wedding is already done when booking here. Rachel was amazing and so organized and easy to work with (director of events and ended up being our day of coordinator). They brought my very specific wedding vision to life and it ended up being the best weekend of our lives. So many friends and family members sincerely told us it was one of if not the best wedding they have ever been to. Not to mention food is so far above any wedding food you'll ever have. Photographer was amazing. Florist 10000% killed it and I barely had to give her any direction and she did exactly what I wanted. So if you're looking for a forest mountain wedding with some disco ball action and you don't want to do intense planning, this is your spot! read more

There is not a better venue anywhere in the world than TMH. It all starts with Rachel, the event coordinator, who provides all the information needed to feel confident with booking here. Then, the wedding coordinator Penie takes over and makes the magic happen. She guides you through the entire process and makes it fun, seamless, and EASY! She is an incredible person with a kind heart and knack for detail. The cabins for family are well kept, charming, and so worth it. All-inclusive is even better when the included vendors are INCREDIBLE. Pangea catering (shoutout to Holly) is delicious and produces wonderful food (who knew wedding food could actually be good), Rachelle the photographer (@composingreality on Instagram) is a gem and captures everything you want no questions asked, the flowers from Sonia Grays are incredible, desserts from Grandma Jane's Place were delectable (she made custom donuts for us that were out of this world), the bartenders are knowledgeable and adaptable, there are many in-house staff that work so hard to make everything run flawlessly, and to top it all of DJ Ducky is a top-tier DJ who will keep your party alive into the wee hours of the morning. TMH and everything included is worth every penny and so much more. We had the best few days of our life and will forever consider TMH a second home. read more

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. read more
