The Knickerbocker Mansion couldn't have been a better venue choice!
In Big Bear, there were not a lot of options for an aesthetic I wanted, and that included everything a venue dow...
n the mountain has.
We booked our wedding for June 2019 with the owners and their wedding planner Terri! We wanted a wedding where you could see everything amazing about Big Bear, the mountains, the lake, and that complimented it all as well. To say the Knickerbocker did that would be an understatement! It was the perfect setting from every spot on the property you went.
We also wanted a venue that would be easy for our guests to get to and located near town as well. It not only had that, but it had onsite parking, a 5 minute walk into town, and 3 homes on site so both our families, and wedding party were able to stay all weekend with us.. at the venue!! Terri took all the headache of our big day away and setup our dream reception and ceremony!
The property is beyond stunning, the lodging is exceptional, and we absolutely can’t thank The Knickerbocker for everything!
