River Lodge is perfectly situated in the heart of the redwoods. With its rustic architecture and scenic overlook of the Eel River and coastal mountains, River Lodge is less than 20 minutes from the Pacific Ocean. As your guests arrive at the amazing lodge, they are greeted with the sounds of the rolling Eel river and the beauty of the mountains rising behind it. Your unforgettable ceremony begins on the patio, where you’ll walk down the aisle to meet your beloved amidst the beautiful natural ambience and lush greenery of Northern California. Your loved ones will witness your vows, as the sun reflects off of the wall of windows of the lodge, adding sparkle to your big day. A indoor ceremony option waits in the spacious rooms of River Lodge. Vaulted ceilings with rustic exposed beams and rich wooden floors frame your beautiful ceremony overlooking the river. After the “I do’s”, guests can enjoy a cocktail by the cozy fireplace as the great room is transformed into the reception you’ve always dreamed of. Twinkling lights sparkle above as you dance together for the first time as a married couple. River Lodge offers a picture-perfect setting for your wedding celebration that no one will forget.
