Yosemite is one of the most iconic national parks in the country, a world-famous location boasting unmatched natural wonder. This Californian gem is a unique and exciting opportunity for a picturesque wedding, as all of the venues offer outdoor accommodations that surround you and your guests in the awe-inspiring beauty. Both inside and out, from the all-stone or all-wood architecture to the historic buildings that cultivate an experience that people travel for from far and wide, the venues showcase what make this region so memorable.
The portrait opportunities are a great place to start, as wedding venues in Yosemite are always surrounded by hiking trails, bodies of water, mountain and cliff views, hidden tree covered havens, and so much more. Explore the endlessness of the great outdoors and capture the moment in awe-inspiring glory. Majestic landscapes, tranquil scenery, miles of wonder, and the freshest air in the world all come together for photographic prospects like nowhere else.
The vast selection of backdrops continue into the spacious interiors, where rustic design, complete with cathedral ceilings and candlelit chandeliers, offer the vintage appeal of escapism that give the impression of being miles from anywhere. Wedding ceremonies in Yosemite are heightened by the hand-carved seating and gazebos, where exchanging vows in the day flawlessly transition into the celebrations of the evening. Witness the sun set over the treetops as the sky ignites into purples, oranges, and yellows guaranteed to take your breath away.
The privacy and seclusion bring guests together in ways that far exceed an urban environment, with banquet-style seating or round table arrangements set up under the magnificent starry sky or inside the splendid surroundings done up to your exact specifications. Wedding receptions in Yosemite have the music of your choice floating out over the chorus of the wildlife as you dance the night away surrounded by personalized décor. Retire to your honeymoon suite in the luxurious—but still rustic—resorts, and look out from your private balcony at the setting that wowed every attendee the night before.
Wedding venue prices in Yosemite for both the ceremony and reception with a 100-person guest list ranges from $6,000 to $10,000. Spring, summer, and fall months are the most popular times of year, and despite its Mediterranean climate, average temperatures in January hover around 38 degrees, which means discounted prices and special deals on packages can be found during the winter months.
