Here is what you can expect when you book The Pines Resort wedding venue!

The Pines has a proud tradition of helping people get away. Situated just 17 miles away from the Southern Gate of Yosemite, this resort has been offering experiences for over 100 years. As you might have guessed, this spot has gone through quite a few changes since its 1901 opening, but it remains committed to unforgettable adventures in Yosemite’s backyard.
With The Pines Resort, you will want to turn your wedding day into an entire week! They offer cozy accommodations where you can stay alongside your wedding party. Not only will this give you the chance to have countless Bass Lake experiences, but it will also give you the perfect spot to get ready ahead of your ceremony!
The resort offers ceremony sites where you can host up to 300 guests for your day. The Gazebo Lawn is always a favorite. As you exchange your vows, you are going to have the serene lake and towering mountains as your backdrop. This area is perfectly flat and open to ensure every guest will be able to witness this moment. While you might get boats sailing in the background, the venue does a good job of keeping this area private from any potential crashers.
Once your wedding is over, your guests can head back up to the resort, where they can enjoy cocktails while taking in the views. From there, you will have two options for your reception. If you would prefer something outdoors, you will have the tented Lakefront Deck. Inside, you can use the Lakeview Room, where you can have climate control while still taking in the surrounding sights.
The Pines Resort offers plenty of spots for your wedding portraits. Many of the chalets have their own private balcony where you can go to get individual portraits once you have finished getting ready. If you do decide to do first look pictures, you can head to the lakefront and take pictures near the fence. The pier is another fantastic option for showing off this unique location!
The team behind The Pines Resort loves working with couples to deliver their perfect day! They offer lodging on the property with enough space for your wedding party and several of your guests. They will handle the tables and the chairs, and they will provide you with service staff to keep things running smoothly. Their culinary team will take care of the food, offering dishes your guests will still be chatting about for years!
If you have been looking for the right spot to host your waterfront wedding, The Pines Resort wedding venue is your place! Get ready for fantastic views and even better service!

Ashleigh & Brian hired us from sunrise to sunset! From their first look at one of the most scenic spots in Yosemite (except it was our little secret spot, keeping us away from the crowds), to their ceremony at Glacier Point, and the evening wedding reception at The Pines Resort, this was a full, fun, and joyful day!
