We were married here in mid July 2021, and the location was absolutely stunning. The ceremony site - with sweeping mountain views, the pond backdrop, grassy field, and stepping-st...
one path- was perfection for both the ceremony and photos. The creekside cocktail hour was such a unique and memorable feature, and the view of the small waterfall from the reception deck added an extra magical touch to the evening.
We chose to add a few enhancements that we felt elevated the guest experience, including additional lighting for the creekside, pond, and waterfall areas, extra signage directing guests to the restrooms, and bringing in our own day-of wedding coordinator. This allowed the venue coordinator to focus on venue operations while our coordinator managed vendor logistics.
At the time, the venue was transitioning between coordinators (Erica to Darla) and we were still navigating COVID-related uncertainties. Planning a wedding from out of state in 2021 was challenging, especially with fluctuating guest counts, but Double Eagle was flexible and accommodating - transferring our original 2020 date to the same date in 2021, which we greatly appreciated.
There were a few areas that could have been improved. The catering quality was inconsistent, as the salmon was undercooked for several guests, and there were some professionalism issues with bar service that did not align with what we had arranged.
That said, while there were a few operational areas that could be improved, the venue itself is truly one of the most beautiful in the Mammoth area. The setting is unmatched, and it made our wedding day incredibly special and memorable.
It was absolutely a beautiful venue and the food was good but I would definitely not recommend it unless there are some major changes with some staff and how they present themselve...
s professionally.
I live in eastern sierra area and I knew I wanted my wedding in June. My parents met and got engaged at June Lake and it was a way to incorporate my dad who is no longer with us.
I am just going to get to the chase, I am so disappointed with how my wedding was handled. The wedding coordinator Brooke had terrible communication throughout my time working with her and unorganized. She would send me things with different prices then what we agreed upon in the beginning. She also put something in the contract about getting our own keg which not possible due to liquor license laws that she should have known. I contacted her multiple times to meet with her to make sure everything went smoothly. It never seemed like she recorded the information we talked about. The set up somehow changed the day before the wedding. She barely helped during the rehearsal, she just sat there while my officiant took charge since he noticed she wasn’t doing her job. Brooke also stated they would help with the game set up and didn’t and told my guests to. Honestly I’m so confused why I had to pay 600 for a wedding coordinator fee.
The service staff was unprofessional and I felt super disrespectful. The bar tender looked like she didn’t want to be there The servers and bar tender ate my appetizers in front of guests( and we paid per piece!). The bar tender drank the beer during the reception which was not only disrespectful, unprofessional, it is illegal in the state of California.
My wedding should have been the easiest simplest wedding for them with under 50 people. I also had people at the wedding who have worked for the company as a wedding coordinator and as a general manager of their sister property. My guests were appalled of the behavior they witnessed and so am I. My guests even cleared her own plates in front of the staff while they just stood there.
We did get a small refund but not enough in my mind that made the shit show acceptable. The GM knew about what happened and never approached us to apologize or try to make things right. I ended up calling him and he said he was investigating it but was more focused talking to one of my guests (the gm of snow creek) then to make it right with me or my mom who spent a good amount of money.
I feel horrible choosing this place and having paid them and then have them treat the wedding this way. Honestly I could not recommend this place to anyone with a good conscience
Brooke was an absolute dream to work with. Super attentive and responsive from the first time we met and made our wedding weekend the magical event we were dreaming of. From the fi...
rst venue visit, Double-Eagle had some coordinator turn around. They we lucky and we were lucky the Brooke came into the picture. She absolutely slayed.
The restaurant and event staff were great as well. Food was fine. Restaurant manager was a sweetheart.
Everyone I interacted with in the Spa was fantastic. Desk staff there and massage therapists were incredible.
My only real sour grapes moment was the hotel front desk staff. One of them was great, the other two weren't very welcoming or accommodating despite Brooke's best efforts. Didn't catch names.
Resort itself had a lot of character. Decor was heavily influenced by the abandoned mining town of Bodie. Is that great for wedding vibes? Not really, but look just a little bit passed that at where you actually freaking are, and all of this is forgivable. You're in the freaking Sierras. It's gorgeous and magical, and well worth anything else.
We just got married here at the end of September and had such an amazing day and weekend with our friends and family. The Double Eagle is a beautiful property set in an absolutely ...
magical location. The ceremony site at Ron's Pond with Carson Peak in the background is stunning and adds a beautiful sense of peace and grounding to the big day. The cocktail hour by the creek is gorgeous and the reception on the deck is equally stunning with the big tent, chandelier and old fashioned lights. The food was delicious and healthy. The rotisserie chicken was awesome and a generous portion! We had no problems customizing menus, selecting veggie options or kids meals.
We were lucky enough to book most of the hotel for our guests, but had no issues with others who weren't there for our big party. Our guests all enjoyed their stay stating how wonderful the staff was, the amenities of the rooms and the wonderful pool and spa services.
We rented the Guest House for us and it worked out perfectly! We used the extra space for last minute wedding prep and we were able to host some small intimate dinners with the family that arrived early and stayed late. The beautiful meadow behind the house also made for some awesome de-stressing walks and a great place for our first look.
The staff at the Double Eagle and our coordinator, Erica were great to work with from beginning to end. We had maybe one or two small hiccups with communication, but they were quickly cleared up and sorted out. When you've been thinking about every detail of your big day for so long, its easy to forget your coordinator may be dealing with wedding after wedding for months on end and may not fully remember your last conversation without some prompting. :)
Overall, we had an amazing weekend, a beautiful wedding and couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for us as a couple. We can't wait to go back and spend anniversaries at the Double Eagle for years to come!
I very much wanted to book my wedding here, however the lack of communication from the wedding coordinator Erica made it impossible for me to feel comfortable spending my money her...
e. There is a non-refundable (for any reason) $2k deposit just to reserve your date. The venue has a very limited menu for reception that caters to the standard American diet only. As someone with food allergies, bridesmaids with food sensitivities, and family with health issues, I asked for alternate menu ideas. I was told they can provide plain “quinoa and vegetables” (that’s it!!) and had to wait over two months for that answer. On top of a lack of menu creativity or flexibility on the part of the chef, the catering available is not for anyone health conscious. Erica also informed me that they do not allow outside catering. I’ve contacted the manager in hopes that communication will improve, however, at this point why would I want to get married at a place where I might be stressed out and worried that things won’t get done? The wedding coordination and catering need some serious overhaul for this to be a great stress free location for a once in a lifetime event like a wedding.
The Double Eagle is a beautiful location for a wedding. We got married here this past August and it was just perfect. The venue was so clean, the food was wonderful and the views ...
are spectacular.
Devin is the wedding coordinator on site and she is just a joy to work with. She is very organized and made sure that everything ran smoothly on our wedding day.
We had our wedding at Double Eagle, using the grounds, spa, hotel rooms, and restaurant while we were there for the weekend. Along with us, most of our guests stayed at the resort ...
and had generally good experiences with the hotel. Our ceremony and a cocktail hour was outside on the lawn by Ron’s Pond, and our reception was in the Eagle’s Landing Restaurant. Overall we had a great experience with the resort, but there are some things that would be useful to know for other couples considering this venue:
PROS:
-The setting is unforgettable and dramatic. Having Carson Peak as the backdrop was perfect.
- The food is delicious, and the restaurant staff was very flexible in finding ways to customize the menu to our taste (we picked food from their normal menu, not just a wedding menu, and had it served buffet-style).
- They have a lot of event supplies on site (nice chairs, tables, napkins, etc.) making it a one-stop-shop.
- The staff is accommodating and friendly, and did a great job with the setup.
- Allie, their wedding coordinator, was responsive, accommodating, and organized.
- It is possible to have people stay at the resort and walk to your events, making transportation easy before and after the wedding.
- The spa is a beautiful place to get ready, and for your guests to relax
CONS:
- They’ve had a lot of turnover in event coordinator staffing, so when we first started planning our wedding (a year in advance) it was really hard to get anyone on the phone, and the people we did talk to were not very interested in hearing what we had to say. We almost gave up on them as a venue. However, after we had a great conversation with one of their managers, we were convinced we could make it work, and once Allie got on the job, things went much smoother.
- All of Mono County has a 10 pm noise curfew, so plan to wrap up the party early
- There is a lot of wildlife in the area, which can come as a shock. Some of my party encountered a bear roaming around in the dark. The staff was super helpful on this front, driving my guests with small children to their cabin, but it was a (terrifying) surprise to my friends from the city.
- It is expensive to rent out rooms here, so some of your younger guests may want to stay elsewhere. We solved this by having our friends jointly rent a cabin and split costs.
- You are unlikely to rent out the whole resort, so there will be others roaming around
- Although all of the locals we met were welcoming, kind, and down-to-earth, some of the Double Eagle’s other customers are bitter old birds (some of whom who have apparently learned to post on this site) that will go out of their way to complain/berate the staff because they don’t like your party. This tension clearly stresses out some of the staff, who might get flustered and react - for example, I was getting ready in the spa and some lady got very angry because she had to walk around a chair to get to the sink. She complained to the spa manager (instead of asking us), who came in and asked us to hurry up and get out so she wouldn’t get more bad comment cards.
That being said, these small hiccups could in no way dampen the joy, beauty, or fun of the event and the people with the Double Eagle were lovely and friendly. It was exactly what we wanted -an authentic, California mountain wedding. I would definitely recommend this venue - and the beautiful Eastern Sierra Nevadas - for any couple looking for the same!
