Locked In with MHE

Our drive up was good no traffic no idiots. The road up was windy so don't pull over like we did for some Macdonalds, you'll be sorry. Anyways 5 minutes into the drive, the road starts to get narrow and you begin to wonder if your going the right way. Signs are posted well in advance so you can't miss it. We pull up and Lane is there to greet us...WOW...WOW...WOW! At this point I'm not even out of my car yet. This place is huge I'm in awe; already picturing my day and that's a good sign! Lane leads us into the ballroom where I'm blown away with how the place is designed. The wood panel and finishes are done by her husband John. I stand in the room fighting back tears cause again I start to picture my big day. Lane sat us down to get to know us better. We had a very nice chat, Lane was very informative no sugar coating she gave us the whole low down. I now know what to expect. We began touring and each location was breathtaking I mean it! My head was spinning from all the beautiful sites Lane took us too. There were so many locations to have your ceremony and reception. Finally it was time to visit the Oak Tree Terrace...this location is what made me look into the venue in the first place. We walked up to the terrace only to yet again be blown away! Seeing my fiancé standing at the bottom of the threshold brought me to tears and at that moment...I knew this is where I'm getting married at! Lane was a doll she was such a delight throughout the entire tour, let the planning begin.

An Enchanting Experience!

After a couple of months of online hunting for venues in Northern California, we stumbled upon Mountain House Estate! We were searching for a venue that encapsulated both rustic charm and a touch of elegance - and Mountain House checked all the boxes!
What really set this venue apart was the personalized touch from the owner, Lane. She encouraged us to truly envision ourselves in the moment, with a walk down the aisle while my fiancé and best friend waited by the altar. Tears of joy were inevitable! Once we booked, we had the freedom to explore and utilize every corner of the extensive property.
From day one, Lane and John were a fountain of helpful information, equipping us with everything we needed, from vendor details to weather history. They even provided a link to view the venue in different seasons and angles, plus a list of local accommodations.
Our guests couldn't stop talking about the wonderful venue. A huge shoutout to Lane and John for their invaluable assistance in making our day absolutely perfect!

Perfect Setting and Flexibility to Personalize

Mountain House estate was the first venue that we visited and it stole our hearts. We loved the variety of outdoor spaces we could utilize during our wedding day and all the unique charm the property offers. We also appreciated that we could choose all our own vendors to personalize the wedding experience for our guests. Thank you to John and Lane for all of the effort and love you put towards creating and maintaining this space for your couples. We are so happy we chose to get married at MHE!
