Yosemite National Park

Everybody who was involved in planning our wedding did a great job!

Working with DNC Parts & Resorts for our Yosemite Park was possibly as painless as it can get for planning a destination wedding. Lori & Yvonne took care of the hotel rooms for our guests and were always very nice and helpful. With catering, I primarily worked with Janis with the planning. We met with her and spoke many times over the phone and was very accommodating. The weekend of the wedding, we worked with Summer & Carlee and both were just amazing. Such a wonderful team. My only complaint is this: I feel they were a little disorganized. At the reception, we had no dance floor put down, my cake topper was lost, the room was stifling hot although we were told there would be air conditioning. I also had a globe bowl that they offered to fill with rocks to weigh it down since it got broken in the transit up - that didn't happen. I'm not resentful or anything because overall the wedding reception was absolutely wonderful (minus the sweltering room - that wasn't fun. I looked sweaty in all my photos before the real dancing even started!). Everyone had a great time, the food was so so delicious and in the end, those little things absolutely do not make a difference in whether your reception will be a success or not. I would recommend anyone in having their wedding at Yosemite. My mother-in-law used to be a caterer and she says that Yosemite DNC has been one of the most wonderful team of people she has encountered and I agree.

We stayed at the Ahwahnee Hotel for 3 nights of our honeymoon. The scenery was amazing and we had a simply fabulous time. But for the price the actual room and service were disappointing, although the public areas were beautiful and much better maintained than our guest room. The dining room was good and the views there were fabulous. Just seemed like for the luxury room prices there could have been a little more "luxury" included.

My husband and I LOVE the Tenaya. We dreamed of getting married there and we were really excited that our dream came true. Our wedding couldn't of been prettier. It ran so smoothly with a huge thanks to Charlene Kelly and Tim Smith. My husband and I never knew there was a problem, and it even rained on our wedding day, and it still all worked out perfectly. People are still talking about how pretty our wedding was. Our only complaint is the front desk was extremely rude to us and some of our guests. We were told that we could stay in our board room until the next day, but the front desk told our parents that we needed to be out that night. It was midnight and our families were cleaning out the board room. Overall I would totally get married there again and again and again. We loved our wedding day and we love the Tenaya. We're already planning on celebrating our anniversary there.
