Mammoth Mountain Ski Area

ews from both and had fun riding the gondola up to McCoy station. The food was great and we had no problems with the bar or bartenders. Everything seems very flexible and relaxed up there so they're open to whatever you want to do to customize your wedding. The preferred vendors list was helpful, but because Mammoth is pretty remote, you only have a few options for each vendor which is something to take into account. My wedding was very budget friendly but I don't think anyone would have guessed because people were focused on the views and beautiful surroundings. My wedding turned out better than I ever would have imagined!

h Camp High Sierra and Forest Chapel to make our day perfect. The day of our wedding was everything we had dreamed of. The staff at Camp High Sierra was so wonderful to our families, everyone was so impressed with the great service and how helpful everyone was. We would recommend Mammoth Mountain to all of our family and friends for future events

between all departments was smooth and easy while we were planning every detail! I did most of our planning via email since we live four hours away and on the day of... every detail was there and absolutely the way I expected it to be! The gala before hand was an excellent way to not only meet local vendors, but to taste the amazing food offered at the reception! In the two days leading up to our wedding, we had some unfortunate circumstances and my coordinator, Erica, was not only reassuring but was able to adjust everything at the drop of a dime! She walked our entire wedding party through our rehearsal, answered every question I could ever have imagined to ask, and she constantly checked to make sure there was absolutely nothing else we could have needed! We owe most of the day to her planning and dedication! Over all, Mammoth Mountain exceeded our expectations, from a mountain top first look, to a ceremony in the trees, a dinner our guests are still raving about and the best hospitality we could have ever asked for! I would without a doubt, recommend Mammoth Mountain ski area for any future event!

with - we did almost everything through email! They only book one wedding a weekend which was amazing - we didn't have to worry about cleaning up that night OR early the next day! And we were able to get in a day ahead to decorate - life saving! Every single thing that we wanted to change or customized they totally helped us with. Our guests raved about the food, the bar ("they made literally EVERYTHING! It was awesome!" was the feedback we got from everyone), the scenery, the chairlift ... everything was perfect. We owe June & Mammoth for an amazing wedding that our friends are still talking about months later! Everyone raved over the views, the lodge, the staff, food, drinks etc. Wish we could get married again so we could relive the amazing weekend here!

ing party to the area we were having our ceremony . I ( the bride ) arrived last to be greeted by Natalie & our DJ Rick ( also amazing ) began playing our song . The mountain was still open & we had skiers & snowboarders clapping & stopping to watch this wonderful moment ! It was magical !!! After our nuptials, we strapped on our boards & rode down with our wedding party !!!!! The reception was held at the Village , where a room filled with lights beautiful tables with flowers awaited us !!! The wedding the recption was our Best Day Ever !!!!! Thank You Mammoth Mountain for making this our magical day !!! Natalie our wedding planner did so much & worked so hard , building signs we had made , placing our favors , pictures , guest snowboard table up !!!! She was Spectacular !!!!!

ondences were quick and thorough. There were a couple questions I had that I felt should have been brought up by the planning staff but seriously only two (alternative plans for bad weather, and a city wide event being held on the same day as ours). Neither of these things were issues, but I was a little surprised they weren't brought up to me before I asked about them. My husband was also disappointed with a lack of assertiveness from our day of coordinator during the rehearsal because she was pretty laid back and basically followed our lead even though we didn't really know what we were doing. HOWEVER. These were the ONLY complaints we have and they seem pretty minor being that everything was perfect on the day of. We got countless compliments on how delicious the food was (we chose the ahi, spring rolls, and ceviche for appetizers, tri tip, chicken, red potatoes, and roasted veggies for entrees). Our guests loved taking the lift up and enjoying all the gorgeous views. We have heard so many times that this was the best venue and best wedding our guests have been to. What makes that even more exciting is how affordable the venue is. If I could do it all over again, I would choose June Mountain as our venue every time.

thank you!

Wedding Ceremony with our family and friends. Our wedding planner was amazing, from food planning, recommendations for vendors, and the entire staff ensuring that everything was 100% in place the day of our wedding and working with weather conditions having snow in July made it more of a memorable experience for us all. We had an opportunity to share and have our guest experience what we love so much about Mammoth - The beautiful majestic mountains.

ood was! On my wedding day I was taken care of and had to worry about absolutely nothing. If you want a stress free wedding with beautiful scenery and great food, getting married at Mammoth Lakes will be the best choice for you!

cCoy Station, Cocktail Hour at the Top of The Sierra and last but not least, a farewell brunch at the Dry Creek Bar. With the amount of guests and the number of events we hosted, this would have been a logistical nightmare without Loree Peterson. She was super attentive to our every need and was always at our disposal. We were able to meet with her multiple times prior to our events and she was always able to provide suggestions, answer questions, and calm our nerves. Loree has excellent working relationships with multiple wedding vendors and assisted us with finding some amazing help to make our dreams to a reality. Our entire weekend went off without a hitch. Every ounce of the service at Mammoth Mountain was top notch.

hough it rained, everyone was super cooperative and made me feel confident that everything would be okay.

terson was our lead and she was PHENOMENAL. Leading up to the wedding, she was incredibly responsive with any questions we had. We don’t live in Mammoth so she bent over backwards to meet with us when we were in town to hash out any wedding details. On the day of, she was a rock star. She made sure everyone was taken care of, all the decorations were on point and the bridal party knew what to do and was in the right place. Mammoth was so easy to work with. Everyone is so understanding and laid back – and will do anything and everything to help make your day special. If you do get married in Mammoth, I highly suggest picking all local vendors. Our photographer, hairstylist and DJ were all from Mammoth so they all knew each other and were in contact with each other prior to the wedding to make sure everything flowed perfectly.

Pollard as our wedding coordinator. She was very communicative and worked with us on every aspect of the planning process. AND she made sure the reception area was set up as I wanted it even though the yurt wasn't ready to be decorated as early as planned. Steph truly made sure our wedding went off without a hitch and was an advocate for us every step of the way. Our parents (both mine and my husband's) both commented on how much they liked working with her and how much they appreciated her attitude. In terms of the site, you really can't beat Forest Chapel. The yurt was also nice, though small - we only had 26 people and I would not recommend putting any more people in there (or at least not any more tables - we had some extra seats). It'd also be nice if the lights in the yurt had a dimmer switch. The outdoor area of the yurt is stunning, though. It makes for such a pleasant area to enjoy the night. And the staff working our wedding were excellent. Attentive and friendly. The bartender was excellent, too. We enjoyed every bit of our wedding and absolutely recommend Mammoth Mountain as a great place to have a wedding! And that's after paying the bill ;)

jewel and worked out better for our very small gathering. It was absolutely beautiful. Loree was so helpful. When she was done doing her setup, she came back to our cabin and offered help. So she went to pickup our choc covered strawberries & other chocs from Rocky Mtn Choc Factory and our cheese/meat trays from Bleu, while I was able to breathe and get ready. I am extremely grateful for her help and for being there for me. I felt like she was my dear friend, but we had only just met. Very special.

ks/months leading up aren't as communicative as one bride might like, since they are likely dealing with other weddings. But I promise you the end result is fantastic. When it is time for your wedding they are all hands on deck and do whatever they can to make sure you are comfortable and taken care of. I would definitely recommend mammoth mountain for any event, not just a wedding. My guests and I had a great time!

being said everything was clean and we loved our stay and the location was perfection! The staff at the front desk and the bell hops are some of the nicest people we've ever met! We had our ceremony on the rooftop of McCoy station and it was absolutely stunning. Cheyanne was our wedding coordinator and she did a wonderful job of making everything run smoothly and answering all our various questions throughout the process. We had our cocktail hour at the summit Eleven-53. Our guests loved riding the gondola and taking in the views, especially because many of them had never done anything like that. Our reception was at Parallax. The ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour were all set up so beautifully and exactly how I had envisioned. The food at cocktail hour was incredible: bacon-wrapped dates, shrimp, and a variety of soups in shot glasses- SO YUMMY! The reception food was just as yummy with a variety of food stations: coastal station, carving station, salads, and a mac-n-cheese madness station. We also had a churro bar for dessert, as well as a 10-inch round cake. Everything was delicious and presented so elegantly. We also had a hot-coco station set up at the bottom of the gondola for the guests and we had Woolly join our dance floor in a tux-- definitely glad we splurged for those two things! The guests are still talking about it! Throughout the whole planning process, they allowed us to uniquely craft our own special day and they tailored it to exactly fit us! As we searched for wedding venues we hated the idea of "cookie cutter" weddings that did the same exact wedding every weekend with different people. Mammoth is definitely not that place! They are so flexible and accommodating with different locations, food options, and styles that I think its difficult to see the same wedding there twice. We had our dream wedding at Mammoth Mountain and would recommend it to anyone searching! One recommendation if you do choose Mammoth, tell most of your guests to drive there! The small airport only has 2-3 flights come in a day and we found that many of those get delayed or canceled sometimes due to wind or weather; or sometimes a few weeks in advance due to not enough people booking. That caused a little stress, but it all worked out in the end! Happy Planning Brides and Grooms!

ss and quality of service of Mammoth Staff. I could not have imagined planning my wedding without Loree Perterson, our wedding coordinator. This is an excellent service that Mammoth Mountain offers. Loree helped our day run smoothly and she coordinated with all of our vendors. Loree is friendly, accommodating, and thorough. She thought of everything and helped us with coordinating our event from start to finish. They offer several packages that are affordable and add-ons that tailor and personalize the event to fit any style. Our guests were blown away by the stunning natural beauty of Mammoth and the details added by Mammoth Mountain. I would highly recommend having a wedding/event at Mammoth Mountain.

lly! We initially planned for a ceremony at Forest Chapel. Unfortunately, mother nature blessed Mammoth with a load of snow ultimately leaving us to secure a second location only days before our Wedding! Luckily, with the care and concern of Loree Peterson, she ensured we found a location that was still outside and guess what?? It turned out EVEN BETTER than anything I could have imagined. I am so thankful for Loree's ingenuity and concern for our happiness, along with Tamarack Lodge to find us the perfect spot lakeside at Tamarack Lodge that accommodated our 60 guests perfectly. As for our reception, I cannot recommend The Mill enough! It was the perfect size for our intimate wedding of 60 and I especially loved the mountain lodge vibe. When I first scouted The Mill, I was unsure how it could ever be transformed into a reception space but boy was I blown away on the day. Loree, along with Chris and The Mill staff did an AMAZING job transforming the interior into my enchanted fairy- tale reception space. I was initially worried too because they were open to the public that day ad only had a couple hours to decorate and they did so with flying colors! Oh, and the food was incredible!! I had so many people compliment us on how great the food was. We opted for a meat-free menu and chose the salmon (SO GOOD) and the mushroom rissoto (also amazing!) I also have to mention how attentive and fun the wait staff and bartenders were. They were a special addition to the night and by the end they felt like family. Lastly, Chris, the manager of The Mill, who was so patient and calm with all our questions and who let us decorate the inside to our choosing- he was super! The best part of The Mill is how late you can go, as well as, no volume restrictions so you can dance the night away which is exactly what we did. I LOVE LOVE LOVE everything about out wedding day and I am forever grateful to the entire Mammoth Mountain Team and all they did to help us have the best day of our lives. Love, Courtney and Adam

ional, go above and beyond, and are some of the best wedding professionals I have ever worked with. At 11,000 feet, the top of the gondola had breathtaking views for incredible portraits. The sunset and the snow were an impressive background that as a photographer, just thrilled me. This was a truly fun event and from start to end Loree really was the best! I highly recommend this venue and team of great people for a memorable, gorgeous wedding in a fabulous mountain setting!

entire Mammoth Mountain crew made sure we and our guests were taken care of, and they were so easy to work with and organized. Being from out of the area and very busy with work and school, I was nervous about putting my dream wedding into a reality- well, thanks to the help of the Mammoth team everything turned out beautiful, smooth, and better than I could have imagined. We had the greatest time, and everything was literally perfect!! Our wedding was most certainly one of the happiest times of our lives and we can't thank everyone enough for making it so special! Our guests can't stop raving about what a great time we all had. I would highly recommend Mammoth Mountain to anyone looking for a wonderful, beautiful event!

d. The staff was very friendly and welcoming - the kitchen really knew what it was doing - and everyone had a fun time. It was a little confusing to book the venue - we ended up talking to three different people at Mammoth. Everyone was very pleasant and everything worked out well. Cheyanne was there to coordinate during our event and she did a fantastic job! Having our wedding here in October was great: although they close down the gondola to the top of Mammoth Mountain in the fall, so we couldn’t take our guests to see the summit, we were able to rent out the entire restaurant because it is normally closed for the season- we had the place to ourselves. I was originally worried that our small, 50-person dinner would feel lost in such a large building, but we used the room right next to the bar on the first floor and it was the perfect size - the staff helped by rearranging the tables at our request to fill the space. Although we were first drawn to the Yolder for its authentic ambiance, we were very impressed with its array of other services/perks. We used the in-house sound system for speeches and background music - easy to use and functional. They also catered the event. Mammoth has a large menu that can be tailored to meet any palate, but we actually really liked the Yodler’s standard German fare. We asked to have the meal buffet-style to let our guests pick and choose what they ate, and it was lovely, organized, and delicious! Everyone was complimenting the food, and everyone went back for moreI also loved that they were able to get a fire going in their fire pit on the deck - complete with s’mores. It was atmospheric - a starry sky with mountain silhouettes - a fitting end to a wonderful evening!

oree and Ananda, who helped make our day perfect. We were able to fit 60 chairs on the top, so the other guests stood in the back, which worked fine. We were blown away with how the Mammoth crew was able to transform McCoy with uplighting, the dance floor and decorations. For the reception, we had long tables that sat 16-18 people, so we did a family style meal which worked out great. The salmon and trip-tip were delicious! We had a slight miscommunication with the bar set up, but overall it was a perfect day. Our guests loved the mountain experience and we would definitely do it again!

coordinator, Loree, and the Mammoth staff were unbelievably helpful, knowledgeable and accommodating. They had continuous open lines of communication and took care of every last detail. We had an absolute blast and our guests said it was by far the most fun and beautiful wedding they have ever been to. A million thanks to everyone who was there and helped out! We couldn't have asked for anything more!

he Tamarack Lodge. The service & the food were wonderful. Everyone involved at the reception went out of their way attending to any need that we had. We can't thank everyone enough for making our daughter's day special in every way.

ven more beautiful than the first. She was consistently available whenever I needed something and at any point when I started to feel stressed out Amanda did everything she could to ease my mind. I was beyond satisfied with the treatment and help I received from the Mammoth Mountain staff. They helped me every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend Mammoth Mountain for any wedding. Not only is the location a beautiful venue to have your special day, but the staff is amazing! Thank you Mammoth Mountain Ski Area for making our wedding incredible!!

he ceremony at the top and ski down to mid-mountain for the reception in my wedding dress. Unfortunately, just 4 days prior to the wedding day, I had a ski accident which landed me in the hospital with broken ribs and collapsed lung. It was only late evening the night before the wedding that we knew for sure I would be released from the hospital. Darla and Mammoth Mountain was incredibly flexible in changing the venue to a beautiful alternative location at Mammoth Mountain Inn on the deck with beautiful back drop of the mountain as my doctor would not allow me to go to the highest elevation with my lung. Darla, specifically, went above and beyond to save our special day and was incredibly kind to my friends and family. The reception location at Parallax (mid-mountain) was absolutely gorgeous! Many of my guests told me it was the best wedding they have ever been too. Thank you Darla and Mammoth Mountain!

ed PERFECTLY. The summit of Mammoth has a gondola to provide easy access for non-skiers/elderly, and there is an enclosed building at the top that can accommodate either a ceremony or a staging area. We had our guests (75) wait inside, and then come outside for the actual ceremony. Afterwards, we skied down, and then had a few hours to relax before bringing them back up to the halfway lodge for a reception at Parallax (the contemporary restaurant in McCoy station). The party was superb, and no decorations were needed because Parallax itself is already perfectly appointed. Re: the staff, I cannot say enough how helpful and responsive they were, from the minute we emailed to ask for quotes, up until days after the wedding itself. (Literally. Darla, the incredible wedding coordinator, was still working with us to get everything we sent there back home.) Altogether, I would have to say that this was the coolest, most fun wedding venue I'd ever seen, and if you're looking for something fun and adventurous, but still accessible to everyone, that you should really consider Mammoth!

r guests to enjoy too! It really was perfect, the food was EXCELLENT, with options for vegetarians, vegans and meat eaters alike. Highly recommend this incredible location.

re dependable, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to make my day exactly what I wanted. We experienced inclement weather so the mountain brought all of our guests up on a sno-cats! Unexpected but really delighted the guests and us. Things we added to our day - we added a candle package which looked beautiful in the room, we had shuttles which worked out great, we had an apple cider station pre-ceremony - yum, we had our cocktail hour in Parallax which was lovely and enjoyed by our guests. The food was good - better than I expected! Better than I have had at weddings at well known hotel chains. We had planned to do our ceremony outside but could not because of the weather, so we did it in the "glass room" and it worked well. The mountain worked hard to get the room set up for us, and the views out the window were lovely. It was pretty cold in there but our guests just stayed in their coats until cocktail hour. We also had our farewell brunch catered by the mountain catering crew - it was at Campo. The food was delicious and the venue was perfect. Our DJ was Spencer of /. Creative - he works regularly with the mountain and was fantastic. Our photographers were Cooke Fine Photography - highly recommend them as well. Diana and Michael were so professional, thoughtful, and truly cared about us and the work they were doing for us. And our guitarist, Jon Jacoby, and officiant, Stacey Powells, were also mountain recommendations who were talented and professional. We had guests stay at Mammoth Mountain Inn, Juniper Springs, the Village Lodge, and the Westin and were very pleased with the service at all three locations. My groom and I come up to Mammoth a lot but live in Santa Monica so we really relied on Darla, Amanda and crew to manage much of the details for us and we were so grateful for their help. Our guests all had a wonderful time, and so did we. Mammoth is perfect if you want a cozy mountain town feel with a professional crew in the background to make it all happen for you. And really the value was great - it wasn't bargain basement by any means, but compared to what we would get in Santa Monica for the amount of money we spent, it was definitely worth the trek!

snow showers!

hing turn out fabulous!

rade this a little firmer but, the week and day of the wedding was amazing. We were welcomed with gift baskets and so well taken care of by the wedding staff. Anything we asked for, big or small was done with quickness and ease. The day of the wedding, we were checked on constantly to make sure we were comfortable and happy! The day of, there were a few hiccups but, were taken care of immediately. Our guests as well as myself and my husband were amazed and blown away with the wedding/reception itself. We had such a great time and could not have asked for a better day. The views were amazing and I cannot wait to see all of the pictures!

he most unique wedding!;It's definately interesting planning a wedding from afar (ours was a destination wedding). Casey at the Mammoth Mountain Ski Area was fabulous to work with!
