    Review 1 of 4
    5/5

    We were initially looking for a venue that had an outdoor summer camp feel, was out of the city, and where our guests could stay for an entire weekend. We discovered Sacred Mountain through our search, and when we went to visit, we fell in love. We decided to choose Sacred Mountain for our wedding weekend venue on August 16th 2025. It was our perfect venue, it had everything we wanted and more. The grounds are beautiful, everything is accessible and easy to navigate, and they allow so many different setups for anything you can think of. The lodging was perfect for our guests, who really enjoyed the amenities like the breakfast bar that came with it. Our families loved the cute cottages, and the brand new pickleball court was a huge highlight for everyone. It was also perfect for hosting an after party on site, so the celebration didn't have to end when the reception did. The entire experience felt like the best summer camp of all time, everything we needed was right there. We'd recommend Sacred Mountain to any couple looking for a venue that feels like a getaway rather than just a wedding location.
