An unreal wedding venue! This place is truly magical and staff made us feel so special and cared for. We loved our wedding weekend and would highly recommend this beautiful venue to anyone looking.
The day of the wedding everything ran so smoothly because the vendors at TMH have all worked together before. We were able to chill out and relax the day of because we felt secure knowing TMH had it all handled!
Besides the staff being amazing, the venues is truly stunning nestled in the woods of Graeagle. You are surrounded by nature and trees. It feels like it’s just you out there! The venue is an amazing getaway for the weekend with homey cabin accommodations onsite.

Twenty Mile House was the best decision we made for our wedding!
First of all, if you are looking for a unique venue that offers all inclusive packages this is your place! From the beginning, we were blown away by how beautiful the grounds were. The vendors are all amazing! The food, flowers, desserts, Dj, and the overall flow of the day were PERFECT! I had a very specific vision in mind and the TMH staff made that vision a reality. The wedding coordinator Penie is amazing and you can tell she truly cares about making your day as special and perfect as possible. The twenty mile house staff takes care of everything so you don’t have to worry about anything the day of. We would highly recommend this venue and can’t thank them enough for the best day of our lives!!!!

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Twenty Mile House! First off, the venue and Graeagle are beautiful and a magical area to get married at. The wedding coordinator Pene and her wonderful staff made the planning process easy and effortless. We had multiple guests tell us it was the best wedding they’ve ever attended and we owe it all to TMH!!!

Everything was perfect. The staff there was ON POINT so that I had nothing to worry about on my special day, other than having the best day ever. And it truly was. The process was easy and all the vendors were amazing. I wish I could do it all over again. Went off without a hitch.

I cannot say enough good things about the Twenty Mile House! I had the most amazing time on the property, a perfect wedding with outstanding staff that made me, my new husband, and all my guests feel special and at ease all weekend long. I keep getting the most incredible feedback from family and friends about how it was the most enjoyable, warm, elegant yet comfortable weddings they had ever been to that "just flowed."
Everything flows seamlessly when you have fantastic and kind bar tenders keeping the party going (Devin & Jasper), outstanding vendors like Holly and her team at Pangaea and Kim and her team at Grandma Jane's Place (guests wouldn't stop talking about the food and how they normally never like food at weddings), Sonia at Gray's Flower Garden who rocked the beautiful bouquets and lined the aisle with loose white petals and baby's breath, a DJ who can "read the room" flawlessly, keeping the energy and tempo just right at all times- shout out to Will Perkins at 530 Entertainment- Kiana Bohm, Heart Root Yoga, helping my bridesmaids and I slow down and set our intentions for the day with a serene flow the morning of the wedding that recalibrated our getting ready rhythm, and incredibly skilled, professional and FUN friends behind the cameras: Rachelle Elliott (Composing Reality, photographer with TMH) and Jared Wortley (videography) who were with me pretty much all day, helping me stay present and ensuring all the magic was captured... we bonded over Holly's ridiculous meatballs and artichoke chip hors d'oeuvres half way through our couples sunset photos and had a blast working together!
Each one of these integral players are fantastic on their own, but for an event like this, to pulled off at such an elevated level of artistry where everything was so well integrated and coordinated - down to every little detail like having the groom's and my favorite drink ready for us post ceremony, bringing us goodies to eat and drink when she noticed us starting to fade during a long family photo sesh, and I'm sure 100 other things I didn't even notice because I was too busy floating and enjoying my wedding (something I hear is not common as a host), could not have happened without being led by the team lead and head wedding coordinator, Chief Amazing Officer: Rachel Mann. Rachel was SO great to work with. She's very kind, extremely responsive, adaptable, intelligent and overall an incredible leader whose only concern is making the bride and groom happy. She really spoiled us.
Writing this isn't as fun as I thought it would be because I don't think I'm conveying what I experienced well enough. It was better than words can describe (so please reference the large amount of attached photos lol). Everything from how cute the accommodations were, which had everything we needed like an ironing board and dress steamer, to early morning peaceful walks throughout the property with a cup of coffee and my honey with our two service dogs that of course LOVED the location- and the mini beach down by the beautiful river that flows through the property- to just being greeted by smiles from all staff members. It was an incredible atmosphere overall the whole time and I wish I could go back and relive it all!
We will forever be grateful to Rachel and everyone else that at the Twenty Mile House.
I cannot recommend the Twenty Mile House and each vendor I mentioned enough. Best decision we made, other than tying the knot itself!

We absolutely LOVED our experience at Twenty Mile House. Penie our coordinator was so great to work with and all of the vendors were so thoughtful and kind to our guests! We loved how integrated each of the vendors were to the venue so it made the day of incredibly seamless. We brought in our own photo/video team and Penie was great in working with them! Everyone at our wedding gushed about how great the staff and venue were!

Hard to describe every way that Twenty Mile House is great: we fell in love with the gorgeous alpine venue setting first, but the level of service and convenience of the staff and in-house vendors sealed the deal. It was also amazing to have our family and closest friends stay onsite. I didn't appreciate the peace of mind of using the in-house vendors until two days before the wedding when we arrived onsite. I was never worried or nervous about anything, all the details, timeline, etc. were taken care of and ready. The wedding was perfect and stress-free. The food was amazing and our guests all complimented us on the beautiful music, lights, and decor. We originally found Twenty Mile House because our neighbors got married there and we were looking for venues in that area, but we are lucky and glad we found them! Rachel and the staff are worth every penny.

We booked with Twenty Mile House the day we toured - everything about this venue is absolutely beautiful, from the grounds to the amazing staff and everything in between. We knew the day we saw it that this was the place where we would begin our forever together! Once you get here, the venue speaks for itself and you’ll know if it’s right for you almost immediately.
The communication from Rachel and Penie was incredible, they were so meticulous and answered every question with great detail. When the wedding day finally came, I didn’t feel a single bit of stress thanks to their efforts in planning our whole wedding weekend down to the smallest details. They worked hard behind the scenes and all we had to do was sit back, relax, and watch the venue turn into everything we had pictured and more for our big day. During the wedding day I was able to be completely present in the moment while Rachel kept us on track with the timeline, she remembered all of the special moments I wanted captured, and the whole day flowed so effortlessly without having to worry about a single thing.
We could not be more grateful for the TMH staff and everything they did to make us feel right at home. The whole experience exceeded all of our expectations and was better than we could have ever imagined. Would HIGHLY recommend to anyone looking for an all-inclusive venue!!
When it comes time for a vow renewal, we already know where we will do it ... back at the place where it all began, at the Twenty Mile House! We can't wait to be back one day.

Our wedding at Twenty Mile House in late June was truly spectacular. The event director, Rachel, was very helpful and responsive via email in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding. And Rachel was also very organized, timely, and helpful on the day of the wedding itself. Furthermore, it goes without saying that the location is great and we loved the fact that TMH does wedding packages. This significantly reduced the stress of the typical logistics of a wedding: booking a good DJ, finding a nice florist, and lodging for many of our out-of-town family & friends. Not to mention, the catering with Holly & Pangaea is fantastic; my wife and I are foodies and we have loved the creative appetizers and delicious meals since trying some of them at Jessie’s Joint food truck in Quincy. The bar-tender with TMH was also great – she provided her own edible glitter for some of the wedding drinks. So fun! The florist was truly fantastic and we have to give major kudos to Sonia’s creativity. We chose some really exotic flowers (think birds of paradise, dahlias, foxglove, heliconias, etc) and for flowers that were out of season – the florist went out of her way to find alternatives that we really enjoyed. We had strong convictions and preferences about what we liked and what we disliked for the floral arrangement. But we still didn’t have a have an idea for what the final floral arrangement or floral picture would look like. But what Sonia came up with totally blew us out of the water with her creativity and artistic vision. And then to top it off, the photographer knows her craft. We were already impressed with the engagement photos that Rachelle took, but the wedding photos are on another level. She has an incredible ability to capture the sincerity of the moments, the laughter and the love – and she did so for our wedding. Our wedding at Twenty Mile House was perfect (period). The day after the wedding, we were talking about how we kept waiting for something in the wedding to go wrong, small or big. We kept waiting for the shoe to drop, so to speak – but with TMH, it never did. Our wedding at TMH was perfect and if we had to do it again, we wouldn’t change a thing about our wedding. Twenty Mile House was more than fantastic and maybe one day we will have our renewal vows there!

We had the most incredible experience working with the team at Twenty Mile House! They provide nearly all the vendors for our wedding weekend(photography, coordinator, catering, cake/dessert, DJ, florist, bartenders/service staff, etc.) which made planning streamlined and far less stressful. We loved the option of having the rehearsal dinner and lodging on site the night prior which allowed us to fully settle into the weekend. The venue itself is absolutely MAGICAL! From the historic buildings, sweeping trees, natural creek, and train tracks nearby, guests could not stop commenting on how gorgeous it all was. We are so grateful we found and opted to go with TMH for our wedding!!!

Everything about our wedding was dream come true. We had 3 kids when we had a wedding. (2 years old twin and a 2 month old) And Twenty Mile House made everything so easy for us, accommodating, understanding.
Since everything is included in the price, it was nice that we did not had to find our own vendor like DJ, Florist, Photographer etc and we did not need to negotiate the price with each vendor as well.
Day of the wedding, staff member was so nice. Our check in time was 4pm but we got to the venue early since we had toddler and staff member kindly let our kids play at the river and let us check in earlier.
Not only accommodating but they also made sure that my vision for the wedding came to reality. We were SO happy with our photo, music, cater (Which saved some left over food for us so that we can eat them after the event ), flowers.

We just had our wedding at Twenty Mile House and it exceeded our expectations. Our family and friends have been raving about how much fun they had, how beautiful the venue was, and how overall it was an amazing experience. Much of that is thanks not only to the beauty of the venue but also to the Twenty Mile House staff, who are wonderful to work with and created a day that went incredibly smoothly, where we didn't have to worry about the coordination at all because they took care of it. Having an all-inclusive venue was also a huge bonus - all of the vendors are excellent and work together seamlessly, which again made the day of go incredibly smoothly. Could not have imagined a better wedding day!

Mind blowing experience! Me and the(now) wife toured multiple spots and it was pretty evident TMH was the winner, but we didn’t realize just how amazing it would be. The area is absolutely beautiful and the feel of the place was off the charts. Getting all the cabins to yourself feels like you have the whole town rented out. Not to mention, the only people you see at the wedding are the people you invited, and the awesome staff. I’ve been to extremely expensive weddings in public places where random people are walking around and the worst, golf carts driving by and people shotgunning beers behind the ceremony. You can rest assured that you’ll have an unbothered ceremony at the TMH, unless the train comes by in which that’s said to be good luck. Most of the people at my wedding asked how we found this place because it was the best wedding they had ever been to. There’s no question in our minds, we would choose TMH again!

My partner and I celebrated our wedding on 4.20.2024, and it was truly the most beautiful day of our lives. The vendors provided by the venue were exceptionally professional and courteous, especially Holly from Pangea Catering. She and her staff were some of the best people I have ever seen catering an event. I also want to express my gratitude to the florist who created stunning arrangements without needing explicit instructions. My advice would be to trust the expertise of those who know best and let them do their magic. 10/10 place to get married.

My now wife and I first toured Twenty Mile House in August of 2022, and right away, we knew that the venue, and the people that ran it, were special. Flash forward to our wedding day at Twenty Mile House in September 2023, where we looked back and realized it was truly the best choice we could have ever made!
The wonderful staff of Twenty Mile made everything so easy and seamless, which are frequently not the words that come to mind while you are planning a wedding! They have a bunch of go-to vendors that they work with on a regular basis, who are all extremely talented, professional, and easy to work with! The team really allows you to control as much of the planning process as you want, and are great at adjusting for any accomodations that you or your party needs, allowing for a unique and individualized experience. 🙂 The staff also went above and beyond to make sure that we, and all of our guests, had the night of our lives. We are so glad to be able to look back and relive our perfect day at such an amazing and beautiful venue. ♥️
We HIGHLY recommend Twenty Mile House for any perspective couples looking for their dream wedding in the Lost Sierra. You will NOT be disappointed!

Twenty Mile House was the absolute perfect venue for us! We knew we wanted to get married in the forest, but we were not sure where. After sending out email request for information on several different locations l, Rachel at twenty mile house was the first to respond. She was so helpful in answering all our questions and getting us the information we needed to make a decision. We live in Southern California and we’re not able to go up and view the property so she offered us a virtual tour. After that we were sold and booked the venue without seeing it in person! Thankfully it was the best decision we made. We got to go up a couple months later to attend one of their open house to meet the vendors and see the accommodations, we immediately knew we made a great choice! Once the planning started we worked with Penie who was the best coordinator and was on top of everything. I have never planned anything like this before and she made the whole experience stress free and easy. The vendors were all lovely to work with and when the day came it was exactly what we hoped for. Everyone hit it out of the park and us along with our guest had the best time! It is so special that several of our guest got to stay on the property with us and the cabins are so charming and comfortable. If you are looking for the best wedding venue with the best staff and gorgeous location you need not look any further, twenty mile house is it!

Twenty Mile House went above and beyond our expectations. We could not have asked for a better wedding experience. The vendors were perfect (especially the food), the venue couldn't have been more beautiful with the river flowing through the property, all of our wedding guests were obsessed with staying on property through the weekend, and having Rachel and Penie every step of the way through the coordination was a huge plus. We just wish we had more time there so we could keep on partying. Thank you TMH for making our weekend special.

My husband and I got married at the Twenty Mile House in the beginning of September and it could not have been a more perfect day! All of the staff working the rehearsal dinner, wedding day, and the next morning were nothing be helpful and congratulatory. I lost my mother to cancer 4 months before our wedding and Penie (TMH coordinator) was nothing more than accommodating in changes all the plans we had already made! Not to mention that this venue is all-inclusive which made our planning the easiest thing ever!! Not having to worry about communicating/coordinating with a ton of vendors made the whole process of wedding planning smooth. My husband and I knew we wanted to get married near Lake Tahoe and the Twenty Mile House encapsulates Lake Tahoe with less crowds and more charm, plus the history of the venue is hard to beat. We will never forget our magical day at Twenty Mile House.

We had our wedding at Twenty Mile House in Cromberg, CA and it was PERFECT! Property and accommodations are absolutely beautiful. Our ceremony was at the river location and reception was held on the patio. All the staff were amazing, attentive and over all just so professional, courteous and helpful.
Multiple vendors provided through the venue aided in bringing our beautiful vision together:
Andrew Ohren provided the acoustic soundtrack for our ceremony and cocktail hour.
Jason Kincaid took stunning photos of our event.
Gray's flowers provided our gorgeous floral arrangements.
Grandma Janes created a delicious sunflower themed carrot cake and cookies.
Pangaea catered our appetizers and brunch which was an absolute treat for our taste buds!
Anyone looking to get married at a beautiful, all inclusive wedding venue, should visit Twenty Mile House. They brought our vision alive and we will forever be grateful.

We used DJ Ducky for our wedding at Twenty Mile House in July. We gave him a challenge for sure: no dancing, and a whole bunch of extras, like pinata, slideshow, and trivia. From the beginning, he was great in his flexibility and willingness to work with us on the vision we had. He “rolled with the punches” well and adapted quickly to our unique circumstances. In the end, he took ownership of all the different activities and went the extra mile to make them outstanding. He took the burden of managing these activities off our shoulders and we really appreciate his involvement.

We got married here in July and have nothing but positive things to say about this place. TMH exceeded all of our expectations and we would highly recommend them to anyone considering getting married here!
As our first impression of TMH, Rachel can take most of the credit for our decision. Her virtual tour with us was outstanding. She really took the time to give us a full “experience” of the property, answering all of our questions, so that we really got a good and complete picture, even without seeing the venue in person. She always made herself available and was responsive to our every need, as we made our decision. Her upfront and honest answers helped us to work within the timeline we had, make informed decisions, and ultimately make TMH a reality for us.
Penie, the coordinator, far exceeded everything we could have hoped for, and then some. We attribute so much of our amazing experience at TMH to her and her efforts, from the very beginning all the way through the end. It was clear that creating our vision really mattered to her. She was very responsive and organized. We know she had many other couples but we always felt like we were the only one she was working with. We never had to worry about a thing as we knew she had our backs. She did an excellent job with EVERY little detail of our day! After being involved with quite a few weddings, it is easy to see how fortunate we were to have Penie. She is a stellar asset to TMH, and we will forever be grateful to her.
The vendors that are included in the package worked very well together, and it was very apparent that they knew TMH well. It seemed like they were all TMH staff, and that made a huge difference in the way they worked and the ease of the day.
All accommodations were clean, stocked, and ready to go when we arrived. If any of our guests needed anything, the staff at the General Store were happy to help. Sam and Susie stood out as TMH staff that helped us and our guests with anything that we needed throughout our stay. Our guests appreciated the character of the accommodations, as they were all very special, unique, and carried their own charm. Creekside was by far our favorite, and we enjoyed all of its special touches.
We had multiple people tell us this was the best wedding they have ever been to, and we know that this reflected largely on TMH and its staff. We were able to relax and truly enjoy our day from beginning to end, and we know TMH played a huge part in that. Everything flowed well from one “stage” to the next. We were impressed with all the coordination that went on behind the scenes to allow this to happen. TMH staff did a really good job of making us, as well as our guests, feel extremely special and important. TMH staff worked well with all vendors to make the day completely seamless.
The ceremony and reception site couldn’t have been more beautiful, and it was obvious that the small details matter to TMH. Our ceremony and reception were far from traditional, and they were pulled off without a hitch. We were able to take everything TMH offered and turn it into something unique and special to us. We appreciated TMH’s extraordinary flexibility in executing our vision. There was never any concern that we were going to get a “cookie cutter” experience out of an all-inclusive venue. Overall, TMH’s package offering took a huge burden off the planning process, which was a major selling point for us.

I can't recommend the Twenty Mile House enough. We got married in September 2023 and it was absolutely beautiful. We were stressed thinking about starting the planning process but the staff made it easy and enjoyable. Everything you need, from flowers, to photography, to catering, to the DJ were in house and they were all fantastic. It was so nice to know that everything was being taken care of for us so we were able to completely relax and enjoy the day. My husband and I both don't like taking photos, but the photographer made the photo session fun and captured the day perfectly for us. It started to sprinkle and before we knew it all the guests had umbrellas and there were tents above the tables, without us having to ask or worry about a thing. The rain quickly passed and the DJ had everyone on the dance floor all night. The food and desserts were all delicious and the catering staff was extremely nice. We got so many complements on how beautiful the venue was and how magical the night felt. Thank you Twenty Mile House for giving us the wedding of our dreams!

Our wedding at TMH was a fairytale and truly perfect day. It seems too good to be true, but it’s not! It’s just as beautiful as all the photos make it look. The entire team is extremely kind and everyone makes you feel like you’re the only couple in the world (even though they do 2-3 wedding a week here!). This is a team of true professionals and, though the venue is popular, there’s countless touches that make you feel the wedding is truly yours. There’s nothing “cookie cutter” here! The all inclusive package was a life saver for an out of state couple like us all every vendor TMH partners with is good as gold! Rochelle the photographer is intrepid and gets you to the best vistas to have unforgettable photos. Holly the caterer can cook ANYTHING and was undaunted by our special requests and made sure our guests with dietary restrictions still ate like kings. Most notably, our wedding coordinator Penie truly knocked it out of the park! She is organized, thoughtful and creative. When our little details came to life, she was sincerely as excited as we were. When small things went awry, she fixed the immediately and had no problem putting her foot down for us (even when I was too shy!). Thank you TMH! You truly gave us the wedding of our dreams.

It's hard to fully describe our exceptional experience during all phases of working with Twenty Mile House -- from collaborating with Rachel and Penie planning, to working with the incredible vendors and TMH staff, to the best weekend and wedding experience we could have dreamed of, to the kind messages and ease of wrapping up a sensational event.
With a deep love of the mountains and Graeagle area, we wanted to not only get married in this special place but also share the magic of this area with friends and family. Twenty Mile House was the perfect venue for creating the experience we wanted - turning a beautiful wedding into a weekend event where our guests felt welcomed, could spend quality time, and get to vacation in a stunning location. Friends and family were able to stay onsite, we did a 60+ person float down the Feather river ending at the property, and host a 100+ person Welcome dinner the night, in addition to a stunning wedding.
Beyond this, what made Twenty Mile House feel truly special was the above and beyond work and kindness of Penie, the TMH staff, and vendors -- from the minute details to the big moments, we felt completely taken care of and supported. With an amazing combination of ease, thoughtfulness, and expertise the TMH team was THE BEST! Additionally, the vendors -- as people who love food -- we were SO happy working with Grandma Janes Place for desserts (only regret is not eating more at the wedding!) and Holly at Pangaea Catering was the right move -- everything was delicious, very enjoyed by guests, and wonderful to design a menu perfect for us. DJ Duckie was a hit and kept everyone dancing until the very end and working with Rachelle from Composing Reality felt natural and captured our event beautifully.
Could not recommend Twenty Mile House enough -- now we are waiting for friends or family to get married so we can go back as guests!

Book your wedding here.
Our expectations were really high going in after reading all the other reviews for this venue and it still exceeded all of them. Penie, our coordinator, and the rest of the staff at Twenty Mile House and their included vendors executed on our vision for our wedding perfectly and made it an amazing celebration. All we needed to do was outline the general idea of what we wanted and then let the professionals at TMH do their thing. Having all the vendors attached to the venue really simplified our planning and made the wedding day celebration run like clockwork. All our guests commented on how it was the best wedding they’ve been to and we were beyond thrilled. We can’t thank Penie (coordinator), Rachelle (photographer), Will (DJ), Sonia (florist), Holly (caterer), Kim (desserts), Rachel (coordinator) and staff enough for all their hard work putting the whole celebration together. We couldn’t have been happier. Again…book your wedding here. Thanks so much TMH! - Noah & Carly

They made it so easy and facilitated communication with their vendors. If we got to do it all again, we would pick TMH every time.

TMH gave us a magical wedding experience. After having to postpone our wedding three times, Rachel and the entire team at TMH were accommodating and amazing at ensuring that we were able to finally celebrate our marriage. Having a set of vendors that work directly with the venue was also great and made wedding planning less stressful. While remote, the space is absolutely gorgeous and provides the nature escape we wanted.

Where to even begin?? We got married at Twenty Mile House in May, and it was a dream every step of the way. The venue itself is incredible - its natural beauty, its quaint and romantic vibe, but also the great work that the staff does to keep it maintained, clean, and orderly. So many guests asked us how we found such a gorgeous venue!
TMH’s all-inclusive nature made things so, so easy as well. We really enjoyed wedding planning, which we attribute entirely to their seamless setup. And every TMH vendor was amazing individually:
Sonia (florist): Our florals were so beautiful, which is 100% on Sonia! We met with her over the phone and told her we didn’t know anything about flowers, so we didn’t have any direction to give her besides a high-level color scheme, and just trusted her to work her magic. And she did!
Will (DJ): Our guests loved the dance floor playlist! We love to dance, so we planned things out to have as much dancing as possible. Will kept everyone moving for FOUR HOURS, and we all had a blast!
Kim (desserts): The desserts were lovely, and Kim even whipped up a vegan cutting cake to accommodate my dietary restrictions. Her stuff is just as delicious as it is gorgeous!
Holly (catering): Holly was such an amazing thought partner as we planned out our menu. We were not her easiest customers because one of us is vegan, the other is vegetarian, and we wanted to serve an all-vegetarian menu. Holly wasn’t intimidated in the slightest and helped us plan fully veggie menus for the rehearsal dinner, hors d’oeuvres, and reception dinner. The food was wonderful all around, and she was even able to accommodate additional (and unusual) dietary restrictions among our guests. She and her staff are excellent!
Rachelle (photography): Rachelle is stellar and made us feel so comfortable all day long. Your photographer is with you for the most intimate moments, so you really want someone who has the right attitude/vibe/presence. That’s Rachelle all over! She is so warm and easy to get along with. And her photos are WONDERFUL!
Staff: We had such positive experiences with every TMH staff member we worked with, from the grounds crew, to the housekeeping staff, to the bartenders. Absolutely everyone was friendly and helpful, going out of their way to make things convenient for us. They have a great team!
Rachel (Director of Events): We talked to Rachel a lot when we were initially booking TMH and then later for the more business side of things. She is fantastic and really knows her stuff. We walked out of our first meeting with Rachel already positive that we’d be booking TMH.
Penie (Wedding Coordinator): We CANNOT say enough wonderful things about Penie. Having Penie as our wedding coordinator was such a gift. She is incredibly organized and on top of things, and she kept us on track the entire planning process. When we showed up onsite the day before our wedding, we were able to completely hand the reins over to her, take a big sigh of relief, and focus on enjoying the weekend, because we were 100% confident that Penie was in control, knew our vision, and was going to execute. And she did!! We feel so lucky to have gotten to work with her!
Overall, TMH was an incredible place to get married. We would recommend it to anyone who dreams of getting married in the forest, with soft light filtering through the trees, as a babbling stream flows nearby. Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone at TMH!

We had our wedding at Twenty Mile House in August and it was an unforgettable experience! The venue is simply stunning, it’s truly magical and was the most amazing backdrop for our wedding weekend. We loved every minute of it!
From start to finish, Penie and the TMH staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and went above and beyond to make sure that everything was perfect for the big day. We are so grateful to have Penie as our wedding coordinator, she’s one of a kind! Penie is incredibly organized, professional, and always available to answer any questions or concerns which made all the planning leading up to the wedding feel very manageable. Her attention to detail, passion for her job, and calm demanor truly made a huge difference. We were so grateful to have had her by our side throughout the planning process and our wedding weekend.
Throughout the weekend, the staff at Twenty Mile House were welcoming, attentive, and made sure everyone was having a great time. Everything was perfectly coordinated and all their behind the scenes work allowed us to relax and enjoy every minute of our wedding.
In addition to the incredible venue and top-notch service, one of the highlights of having our wedding at Twenty Mile House was the on-site accommodations. Having our wedding party stay on-site made the entire experience even more special and intimate. The rooms were comfortable and well-appointed, and being able to spend the whole weekend together allowed us to spend quality time with our favorite people.
Our only concern with Twenty Mile House was off-site accommodations for our guests. However, we were able to find a variety of accommodations to meet our guests needs and got nothing but compliments on our choice of venue and the surrounding area. These included room blocks at a couple upscale golf resorts, a room block at a rustic lodge, and a smattering of cabins and houses. We also provided a door-to-door shuttle service for the rehearsal dinner and ceremony/reception which made everything easy for our guests.
Having all the vendors through Twenty Mile House really helped with all the logistics of wedding planning. We were impressed with the quality of each of the vendors, and how seamlessly all of the vendors worked together. Everything was coordinated flawlessly, making for a smooth and stress-free experience. Each vendor brought their own unique touch to the day, and it was wonderful to see everything come together so beautifully.
Special callout for the food (Pangea) and the dessert (Grandma Jane’s Place). Everything was delicious, with a menu that was tailored to our tastes and preferences. My guests were raving about the quality of the meal, and we were definitely impressed.
Overall, choosing Twenty Mile House as my wedding venue was the best decision we could have made. The combination of a stunning venue, fantastic staff, on-site accommodations, a wedding coordinator who truly cares, and seamless vendor coordination made for a truly unforgettable and magical experience.

We started planning our wedding back in March 2020 with Rachel Mann. Due to COVID restrictions, we weren't able to actually go and visit onsite, but simply based on the photos and the strong connection we felt we shared with Rachel, we decided to move forward site unseen. Rachel and team served as a tremendous resource for us as we dove into the craziness of planning. We ultimately shifted our date twice and each time, the TMH team was flexible, fair, and incredibly easy to work with.
As we approached the date, we started to really kick planning into high gear with Penie Derrick -- she was a true godsend. Pennie managed to balance our preferences, thoughts, feelings with her expertise and know-how of what works best at TMH to help produce an incredible weekend of events.
We first got to TMH on Sunday morning for our Monday wedding. Penie and her staff did an amazing job helping arrange everything onsite. We did not have a wedding planner or day-of-coordinator -- it was just us, Penie, and the rest of the staff working together to get everything prepped and honestly, we had to do only the bare minimum (show up with alcohol and special decorations) -- the TMH staff did all the rest. They were kind, considerate, knowledgeable, calm -- their collective high-caliber competence and delightful demeanor worked wonders in helping to make the wedding day itself a serene and beautiful experience for us.
The wedding day itself, Penie kicked things into overdrive and it was a sight to behold. She was the conductor of the chaos that is the wedding prep and pulled it all off without a hitch. Penie even made time to constantly check in on the bride and make sure she had whatever she needed at all times. As the timing continued to slip and best laid plans required last minute adjustments, Penie was the cool, calm captain of our wedding ship that steered unflinchingly through the stormy waters. One of our favorite moments came between the ceremony and reception when Penie brought us a full plate of appetitzers in a tucked away corner, just so we could catch our breath for a moment -- it was so thoughtful and kind, we were both incredibly touched by her gesture of kindness. The reception and party was absolute perfection for us -- it couldn't have possibly gone any better. We're pretty sure we even saw Rachel hopping over to help man the bar at one point!
Overall, we couldn't recommend working with Twenty Mile House any more strongly. It is a special place run by an incredible staff -- we feel so lucky to have found such a perfect venue to host our wedding and feel deeply appreciative and grateful to all the wonderful people who helped us pull it off!

There's no way you can go wrong with any part of your wedding experience at Twenty Mile House. The flowers, the food, the photography, the music, the coordination.......TMH is truly as special as it is billed. From day one we felt important and valued. Having someone to walk us through our journey made the process so much less stressful than it could have been.
It's truly so difficult to put into words how special the property at TMH is. From the historic buildings, to the forest, to the river, to the train track, to the guests cabins. These elements combined made our day and night truly magical.

Twenty Mile House was hands down THE BEST WEDDING DECISION WE MADE. Every time I think about that magical day I feel so lucky to have found this place. It’s exactly what I was looking for and more. So many of the typical issues that couples can have will be avoided simply by having TMH host your wedding. If you like the pictures/vibe on their website, then your search is over. This is the place you want. Book it. It’s worth every penny and more. Trust me, I already wasted all my time asking the millions of questions and came up satisfied.
The venue itself is the stuff of Pinterest dreams. It is in the beautiful Lost Sierra’s on a 200-acre vintage estate. The ceremony site is nestled in a clearing in the woods, surrounded by towering pines. It feels intimate, personal, and perfect. The reception is set up on the red brick patio & garden lawns with a beautiful red brick house as the back drop. There are white twinkle lights wrapped around all the trees and draping like a canopy over the seating area and dance floor. The grounds and gardens are pristine. There’s a creek, a cute little bridge, a river, and railroad tracks. I mean, come on, what else could you ask for? It is understated elegance at its finest.
Their AMAZING team of vendors each orchestrate their part flawlessly. That was one of the things that I didn’t even realize would be a huge benefit until afterwards. There were ZERO coordination issues. This staff does nearly 100 weddings a year together. Everyone knows their role and they have figured out how they intersect with each other. Best part is this all happens behind the scene and they pull it off like a beautiful dance. You feel like royalty. Everyone is there to support you and make your day (or days) perfect. From the moment we unloaded our stuff, they handled EVERYTHING. Even things I expected to have to do, I would find it already handled exactly as I would have handled it. You can expect to do all the planning, communicate the details, and then leave the coordination and execution to them! It’s glorious. The team at TMH exceeded our expectations in the ways they were able to not only pull off our vision EXACTLY, but also anticipate all our needs and desires. I was never made to feel like any request was too much, but rather that they were eager and excited to accommodate. You’ll leave here feeling like you stepped out of a fairy tale and you were a queen for a day. *sigh*
If you want to have the wedding of your dreams and not lose your mind trying to pull it off, this is the place for you.
Ruth (& Tim)
PS: If you use the beautiful wooden photo backdrop, my husband and Father-in-law built that! Please sign the back like we did so when we go back to visit we can see all the other couples who got to enjoy it too :)

Great doesn't begin to explain how amazing Twenty Mile House made the wedding experience for my wife and I. The entire team at Twenty Mile House is so skilled at what they do that our day was effortlessly amazing. From our wedding planner (makes your day amazingly easy), to the catering staff, photography, and the D.J.
Even with having a wedding there without actually visiting beforehand you would have thought we planned it there for months. I would highly suggest to any couple who wants to get married there to DO IT! My family and friends keep saying that it was the most amazing wedding ever and I couldn't agree more. Did I mention how beautiful it is?! Lastly, as a same sex couple they were SO accommodating and amazing. Couldn't say enough great things about my experience here! They made it the best day ever!

From the moment I saw the pictures, I knew Twenty Mile House was where I wanted our forever to begin. Just like I knew my husband was The One, I knew Twenty Mile House was The One. They make the wedding process so simple and painless, and their team of vendors really can customize just about anything for your vision. Our coordinator, Penie, was outstanding! Her creative problem solving and quick responses alleviated all my worries. She went above and beyond to make our dreams a reality with the setup and décor, especially after some of our plans went haywire just weeks before the wedding. She saved the day in so many ways. On our wedding day, I heard from basically everyone that I was the most relaxed and stress-free bride they had ever seen – I owe that ALL to Penie and the TMH team! (My amazing husband gets a little credit, too.)
Rachelle, the photographer, was so on top of it with the schedule and capturing the photos we wanted. Our guests raved about the food from Pangaea Catering (and the late night bites were a huge hit!). We had the buffet in the general store and I was particularly impressed when the friendly staff came out to the tables to offer seconds and bring food directly to our guests. That was such a classy touch and our guests really appreciated it. The dessert bar was devoured and a definite showpiece at the reception. The grounds are immaculate and the privacy of the location made everything so intimate. Our guests were in awe of the stunning natural beauty, and we heard from many of them that it was the best wedding they had ever been to.
We want to thank the entire team for creating this once-in-a-lifetime experience for us that we get to carry with us forever. There is something so magical about Twenty Mile House – it truly was a fairytale come true!

There is not a better venue anywhere in the world than TMH. It all starts with Rachel, the event coordinator, who provides all the information needed to feel confident with booking here. Then, the wedding coordinator Penie takes over and makes the magic happen. She guides you through the entire process and makes it fun, seamless, and EASY! She is an incredible person with a kind heart and knack for detail. The cabins for family are well kept, charming, and so worth it. All-inclusive is even better when the included vendors are INCREDIBLE. Pangea catering (shoutout to Holly) is delicious and produces wonderful food (who knew wedding food could actually be good), Rachelle the photographer (@composingreality on Instagram) is a gem and captures everything you want no questions asked, the flowers from Sonia Grays are incredible, desserts from Grandma Jane's Place were delectable (she made custom donuts for us that were out of this world), the bartenders are knowledgeable and adaptable, there are many in-house staff that work so hard to make everything run flawlessly, and to top it all of DJ Ducky is a top-tier DJ who will keep your party alive into the wee hours of the morning. TMH and everything included is worth every penny and so much more. We had the best few days of our life and will forever consider TMH a second home.

Everything was perfect and stress free. Penie was our wedding coordinator and we hired the recommended vendors from TMH. Every vendor worked together perfectly to make our wedding truly incredible. I may be biased but it was the best wedding I’ve ever been to by far. The food is magnificent, the venue is amazing, the people are incredible. We had to do almost nothing to plan our wedding. We just said “this is kind of what we have in mind” and Penie made it all happen. We even had a situation where my dad had to return to their cabin to get insulin and missed the anniversary dance. My mom was standing at the side of the dance floor saddened by his absence. When he returned I said “Penie my mom is sad please fix it.” She immediately went to the DJ and had my parents announced with a special dance for their 39 years of marriage to their wedding song and saved the day. I can go on and on about our perfect wedding at Twenty Mile house. We’ve talked about it non stop since our wedding day. Literally the best day of my life.

You absolutely should make Twenty Mile House one of your top options! Twenty Mile House created the most unbelievable experience for us as we planned our wedding. When we were first touring different sites, we were more aware that a lot of vendors were stressed with the post-covid demand and it seemed like our basic questions were a bit too detailed (or even just questions one shouldn't ask). Upon touring Twenty Mile, Rachel (Director of Events) made us feel so at ease and gave us amazing recommendations for things to think about as we enter the planning process.
When we decided to move forward with Twenty Mile, the process could not have been easier. All the vendors we worked with made themselves available for any/all questions and also it was clear how closely they worked with one another. Penie, our coordinator, did a fabulous job of not only making sure all items were checked off the list, but every want (down to the last fine detail) was noted so that the day of, she would have smooth execution.
Probably the most amazing part of this whole experience was the day of the wedding, so many friends and family commented on how beautiful the location was, how amazing and friendly the staff was, and also, just how superb the service and experience ended up being. We could not have been happier and if I could have a wedding again, I would not even hesitate to go back.

The scenery is amazing, the people are better, super nice! Food vendors were incredible. It’s a weekend we will never forget. Book it y’all!!

20 Mile House is a beautiful location & it provides guests w/ a unique & intimate wedding experience.
Our wedding was scheduled for spring 2020 & we had to postpone due to COVID. This initiated a horrific communication experience w/ the owner, Kevin. He was adamant 20MH would be hosting weddings in 2020 & our date was moved to Sept 2020. As we know COVID was not under control or safe in Sept & yet he fought us to keep the Sept date, even though we were still in the middle of a pandemic. When we asked to move our date to 2021, he attempted to charge us $15K more & stated, it is a "considerable cost to the Twenty Mile House to cancel a wedding & rescheduling to the following year." After mos of communication which brought w/ it a lot of emotional distress, 20MH finally agreed to host our wedding in 2021 for a comparable cost to what we signed up for. This interaction alone left a bitter taste for 20MH..
Pre-Wedding Planning
20MH wasn't proactive during the planning. If you wish to use their vendors from the package w/ no changes then you are good. We wanted to use outside locations for our rehearsal. The small town of Graeagle (pop aprx 500) didn't have a lot of choices. This we knew, but what we didn't realize was the wedding coordinator wouldn't attempt to put us in contact w/ other vendors in the area or offer solutions when problems arose.
20MH doesn't include alcohol in their package but when we signed our contract we're told, "Costco will deliver". That turned out to be erroneous. We spent countless hrs calling liquor stores, etc.
Arrival & Check In
20MH is remote, which is what makes it so wonderful. The closest airport is Reno & there are limited flights. You must rent a car for an hour drive to the venue. There are no Ubers or taxis. 20MH's check-in is 3PM- they agreed we could arrive at 12 but they were adamant we couldn't come any earlier. Upon arrival they were still planting flowers, hanging lights & working on the venue.
Rehearsal
We had provided a very detailed agenda to 20MH for our ceremony. When it started the coordinator didn't have the info down & we had to correct her. Her tone was very rushed & annoyed & we felt as though we were cattle being herded. Multiple people, including our officiant, made comments on her rudeness.
Accommodations
The cabins are quaint & a great experience for the guests. It was very convenient having our bridal party onsite w/ us.
Wedding Day
We left instructions that our wedding gifts were to be delivered to us in advance of our First Look. A frantic & distressed call was made as the Bride did not have her gift & the photographer was on his way - this task almost dropped through the cracks.
When coming down for our First Look, no one had told the Groom where to go so as the car pulled up with the bride, the first look was almost ruined.
Vendors were great besides the DJ who didn't play much of our provided list (and some songs multiple times) & switched to electronic music after being specifically told prior to the wedding we didn't want that genre. Our desserts were amazing. The wedding cake looked beautiful - I'm not sure who was responsible for the cake care, but when we went to cut our cake, it was completely frozen. The cake was trashed & we were very disappointed.

Dear Whitney,
Thank you for taking the time to share feedback on your experience. We are ...
happy to hear you found the Twenty Mile House a beautiful location that provides guests with a unique & intimate wedding experience.
We care deeply about all of our couples and each of their weddings, so we are sorry to hear that your experience was anything less than you had envisioned. We strive to give every couple the best possible experience and work with them in any way we can to achieve this.
We certainly understand your frustrations in regards to postponing during COVID. This was a difficult, unforeseen situation to navigate for all involved, and we tried the best of our abilities to work with each couple to ensure we could provide the wedding day they had dreamed of. Although we were able to host weddings in 2020, we are grateful that we were able to work together to move your wedding to 2021 and still host your big day.
Thank you for your positive feedback about the beautiful property & groundskeeping team. This is great to hear. We take great pride in our property and are always attending to the aesthetics on a daily basis. This ensures we maintain the beauty of the grounds and facilities our guests expect.
We are sorry to hear you had challenges with Costco delivering your alcohol and you found a successful solution. As we are a BYO alcohol venue legally we are not able to source or order alcohol for our wedding couples. However, we are always happy to help our couples with suggestions of who may deliver to our area if they are looking for a delivery service.
We provide all our wedding couples with a list of preferred vendors we recommend and coordinate closely with them. We are sorry to hear that you feel we were not as helpful as you had liked with this coordination. We will certainly make sure in the future to check with our couples that they are receiving the assistance they expect coordinating with outside vendors.
We are pleased to hear our accommodations provided a great experience for you and your guests and how helpful it is that we can accommodate the entire wedding party onsite. Our goal is to ensure our grounds and accommodations are in immaculate condition upon arrival for each wedding party. Due to additional COVID protocols for cleaning and the hosting of other weddings it is important that we dedicate the time to clean and prepare all of our grounds and facilities to the highest of standards for each wedding. These requirements make noon the earliest we can welcome in wedding parties onsite.
We are so happy to hear you found the desserts amazing and the wedding cake looked beautiful. We do take great care in the storage of our cakes and desserts, dedicating a climate controlled refrigerator onsite for this purpose and will ensure we continue to do so in the future.
We take all feedback from our couples very seriously and strive to consistently meet our wedding couple’s expectations to achieve the vision they have dreamed of. We are always continuing to update our planning process and materials based on feedback we receive to ensure each couples’ experience is seamless.
Again, we want to thank you for hosting your wedding at the Twenty Mile House. We wish you and James a happy and bright future together.
Kind regards,
Rachel Mann

BEST DAY OF OUR LIVES
We are eternally grateful for Twenty Mile House, it’s amazing staff and vendors for making our wedding day so special! Everything was absolutely perfect and we highly encourage all couples to consider this venue for their wedding. We were looking for an outdoor venue in California and came across this beautiful historical property an hour and half north of Truckee. Without skipping a beat we signed up for the next wedding faire and couldn’t wait to visit the property in person. Unfortunately the pandemic delayed the wedding faire, but we decided to move forward with requesting a consultation anyways. Choosing Twenty Mile House was the best decision and we enjoyed every part of the process.
The virtual consultation was fun, interactive and informative. Once we officially began the planning process we couldn’t believe how much they set us up for success. We were sent resources to help plan out our wedding vision and easily coordinated with our vendors from a far. We had a such a fun time at the wedding faire and finally got to meet all the vendors in person. Everyone is so nice, the food and desserts are absolutely delicious and the property is even more beautiful in person.
One of the main reasons we chose Twenty Mile House is because it’s all inclusive and offers multiple vendors that are contracted with their specific venue. This made it extremely easy to coordinate because we didn’t have to stress about finding a florist, caterer, baker, DJ, photographer and lodging for the wedding party / close family. They are extremely familiar with the area and know tips and tricks that other vendors wouldn’t know about the property. There are also numerous options for decor add on’s if you are open to paying additional fees and you can include additional and external vendors as well. We definitely went all out and everything was how we envisioned and more!
We had the opportunity to stay two days before our wedding and it was only our wedding party onsite. The onsite guests couldn’t get enough and had a blast exploring the property. We chose to have our wedding rehearsal dinner at Twenty Mile House which was such a great decision. We worked with the same caterer and enjoyed a Taco Bar themed dinner. The following day was the wedding and it couldn’t have been any better. Our day of coordinator, Rachel, was phenomenal and made sure everything went according to plan. We absolutely loved the staff and vendors because they made our day so special and we were so sad when everything was over.
The next day we didn’t want the experience to end, but unfortunately it was time to check out. All our wedding guests had an amazing time, couldn’t stop saying how beautiful everything was and everyone loved the property. We still find ourselves reliving that week over and over and we secretly hope someone we know will have a wedding at Twenty Mile House so we can go back and experience it as guests.
Huge thank you to our sensational coordinator Rachel for being so amazing, patient and supportive through the entire process. You all made our wedding week and we can’t thank you enough.

The day after our wedding, as we said goodbye to our amazing coordinator, Penie, and pulled away from the Twenty Mile House, I broke down in tears because I did not want to leave. This speaks to the experience we had. I always believed no wedding is ever totally perfect, but ours felt like it was. When you are planning a wedding, people often like to inquire about stress levels or how the bride and groom are handling the process, our experience with the team at Twenty Mile House was as smooth as can be. I have had more stress when deciding what to order off a menu at a restaurant than I had with our wedding! The team at Twenty Mile House operate better than a well-oiled machine and we cannot say enough good things about our wedding. We worked with Rachel, but mostly with Penie who was assigned as our coordinator. These two are on it. Every single question was answered quickly and thoroughly, and they were flexible with anything we needed. Penie quickly turned into one of our new favorite people. She knows exactly what she is doing, and everything ran perfectly from start to finish. The vendors they work with are a cut above the rest! Our food from Pangaea Catering was insanely good and Holly made my dreams come true when she put out a ranch fountain with our late-night pizza. Yes, that’s right, a fountain of ranch! I was told more than once that the food was the best food at a wedding our guests had ever had. Rachelle, our photographer is amazing, she was quick and efficient and helped everything run so smoothly. Our flowers were right out of a bridal magazine, Sonia’s creativity and visions are unmatched. Our desserts from Grandma Jane’s were delicious, the guests could not get enough! Our DJ, Will had everyone on the dance floor and knew exactly what kind of atmosphere we wanted. I have struggled to find the right words to say about this venue and experience, because it was truly a dream. The entire staff at Twenty Mile House and everyone involved created the best day of our lives, it was even more than we could have imagined. I am not exaggerating when I say that multiple guests informed me that our wedding was hands down the best wedding they had ever been to. Thank you, Twenty Mile House, from the bottom of our hearts, we will cherish these memories for a lifetime.

We couldn't have picked a better place or team for our wedding in October. The staff, caterers and photographers combined with the beauty of the location is unmatched. All of their recommended vendors we got to work with were key in making this day amazing, they've all worked together on this property for so long it's fun to see their dynamic and it shows in the detail they provide how much they love what they do. Every single guest came up to us and told us it was the best wedding they'd ever been to and we owe it all to Twenty Mile House. Thank you for an unforgettable experience!

Our wedding was truly a magical day not only for us but for our guests as well. After being together for more than 12 years, we were anxiously waiting to get married in the summer of 2020. Unfortunately when COVID hit, we were heartbroken and unsure of how to take our next steps. After many conversations with Kevin and Rachel at TMH, I can honestly say we came to a solution that they tailored for us and we are SO grateful. They took the time to talk to us and always made themselves available to come to a solution despite the COVID turmoil. They are all such kind and professional people. Planning was such a breeze with the system they have in place and you feel like you're in good hands. Sharing documents and filling in your requests really helps. It gives you an opportunity to think about what you want and how you want things set up. Any questions or requests you have are quickly answered and addressed. I never heard them say "no" or "we can't do that" once. I am such a picky person and had a specific vision for my wedding. They accomplished that with such ease and accuracy. I trusted them completely and they delivered with flying colors. The fact that you can have your pup on the property is such a blessing. We were able to share our special day with him as our ring boy! All the staff are well trained and know exactly what to do and when to do it. I can't recommend this venue enough!
Us, as well as our guests, will most likely go back and stay there again, just to get away. Even if you're searching for a place to get together with family or friends, this is just the place. It's such a peaceful environment and the staff are so pleasant. Everyone went home rejuvenated. We are forever grateful to TMH for giving us that memory and being part of our history. A huge huge shoutout to Rachel and Kevin for making our dreams come true!

Best. Day. Ever. I cannot imagine our wedding going any more smoothly thanks to the TMH staff! Rachel and Penny are amazing planners and so incredibly organized. They provide useful worksheets to help the planning process go smoothly and they are very communicative. Plus it’s all inclusive. So everyone works together like a well oiled machine: from our amazing caterer Holly to Rochelle the best photographer ever, DJ Will, Sonia the florist, everyone was spectacular and organized. Our rowdy crew really enjoyed staying on-site for three days as well. Weddings go by so quickly so it was nice to have the weekend to celebrate versus one day. The wedding day itself was flawless and all of our guests are still raving over a week later as to how gorgeous everything was. Twenty mile house is hands down the best venue out there and will make anyone’s big day that much more special. We love you guys!

The Twenty Mile House was hands down the most amazing venue to have our special day. The planning process leading up to the wedding, as well as the day of coordination was astounding. We especially cannot give enough praise to the staff, specifically our coordinator, Penny, who went above and beyond to make our day unforgettable and made sure everything ran smoothly. The location itself is breathtaking and offers guests the chance to mentally unwind and immerse yourself with the mountains and redwood trees. The on-site cabins were adorably quaint and perfect for accommodating our wedding party and family. Additionally, Holly, the caterer of Pangea, was extremely helpful in catering to a variety of different dietary selections and made them all incredibly delicious! The Twenty Mile House was the perfect place to begin the first day of our journey together as husband and wife and we have nothing but the highest of recommendations for this venue.

We just got married at Twenty Mile House this August and had an amazing experience. Their planning materials were super helpful and our coordinator Penie was amazing in navigating us through all the details leading up to and through our big day. The day of the wedding flowed beautifully and was totally stress free because Penie took care of everything. She was also super thoughtful and came up with so many ideas that made the day special, like scheduling some alone time for us between ceremony/pictures and the reception. The venue itself was absolutely stunning and we loved being able to have our wedding party stay on site - it really made everything feel extra special like everything about the weekend was truly about on us and ours. We would absolutely recommend Twenty Mile in a heartbeat!

Wow! Not enough great things to say about Rachel & the Twenty Mile House!! From the very start they made us feel taken care of with detailed information and planning guides, with amazing vendors and Rachel was always only a text/email/or call away anytime we had a question. The entire weekend of our wedding the whole TMH staff went above and beyond anything we could have dreamed of and on the day of our ceremony they executed our vision beyond words, Sonia the florist outdid herself and went the extra mile. If you are on the fence about booking your wedding here, definitely do it, you will be taken care of in every way!! We were beyond happy!!!
