Meadow Wedding Venue
Host your wedding in a meadow under a canopy of oak trees
American River Resort’s upper meadow area lends a woodland meadow atmosphere to weddings. This is our largest wedding venue and accommodates up to 500 people. The meadow venue is private and large enough to accommodate specialty food trucks, caterers or an outdoor banquet, as well as your ceremony.
Fall Weddings
The Fall Season is wedding season in Gold Country! The temperate days and nights, mixed with the changing colors of Autumn, create a romantic setting for your dream wedding. The contrasting landscapes and sensory delights on our resort created by our trees, plants, river setting, gold mining relics sprinkled about the property and occasional smell of sweet oak firewood drifting through the air all add to the quiet country ambiance we enjoy in the Fall. Fall is a milder and quieter time of year here at the Resort, so it makes for a great time to host your outdoor wedding reception on our grounds!
Spring Weddings
If you are planning a Spring Season wedding, our Resort can provide you with a lush, colorful and green landscape for your outdoor reception. Every Spring we welcome the return of local wildflowers, green grass, melting snow and the rising river at the Resort. Our view of Mount Murphy adjacent to the river bursts with definition showcasing blooms of lupine, daffodil, California poppy and iris flowers. The warming temperatures and lingering longer days make a magical and comfortable setting for your wedding!
