Laurel Mill Lodge Wedding Packages are optimized for memorable good times.  When you book your Wedding here,  you get the whole resort and not for just four or five hours,  but for a whole day or more. Most of our Wedding packages include a Reception with a Feast,  usually served outdoors,  and dancing under the stars. When People tire of this,  the hot tub and/or the camp fire are ready.  It doesn’t have to end there.  Weddings at Laurel Mill Lodge can go on for days.  In all of our longer Wedding Packages,  a Continental Breakfast and all 24 Dormitory Bunks are included.  That’s like 24 free places for people to stay.  One or Two of the Cushy Cabins are also included for the Bride and Groom.

Planning your Wedding at Laurel Mill Lodge

WHAT A DAY   This is!! The Sun  is shining.  The Trees are still.  Everywhere you look are Flowers.  A lyrical flute solo floats across the Meadow. You feel calm and collected because you have been relaxing near a mountain stream since yesterday after noon.  You know this is going to be a wonderful party,  because you don’t have to go home tonight.

A wedding cake hangs from a tree in our orchard area.

Friends and Relatives often come from long distances, and it’s a shame to send them home right after the ceremony.   Plus, there's a whole other family for them to meet!  Why not let them really get acquainted? You could go places together  in Santa Cruz or Monterey, and then come back here for a barbeque and a campfire. Some Wedding celebrations here have gone from Wednesday to Monday or Tuesday.

We can position the Stage anywhere on our cathedral-like meadow  and arrange the Arch and Railings to your taste.

This is not a high heels kind of place.   It’s more of a place to let down your hair and be yourselves.  It’s a place to leave your watch in your luggage,  forget about telephones and completely relax.  The tall trees and abundant wildlife set the stage for authenticity and intimacy. The fire circle and a hot tub big enough for a crowd lend themselves to  late night singing and long conversations.
