When envisioning your dream wedding, do the words woodsy, rustic and elegant come to mind? Does your big day include a secluded outdoor venue where guests will leave in awe? If so, then Minarets Pack Station is your  Sierra National Forest wedding destination. Forest Weddings in California are woodsy, rustic, and elegant. 

Our forest is a coniferous forest of cone-bearing evergreen trees; Jeffrey Pine, 

Cedar Trees, Sugar Pines, Lodgepole Pine, and Fir.  

July brides to October brides, it can happen at Minarets Pack Station.  We have beautiful meadows, wildlife, and spring flowers in July and August.  

Fall brides, the fall colors really start to pop around the end of September and are in full swing mid month until October to mid November.  

We offer a choice of three forest wedding venues with various options, the North Meadow, South Meadow and East Meadow venues.   Each include a one night stay for the new couple on the wedding night in our pack station bunkhouse. 

Lodging for a limited number of guests to stay in our tent cabins and campground (2 night stay/dry camping) is included in the package fee for the East and South Meadow venues.  

North Meadow- For your convenience, further lodging arrangements can be made for a limited number of guests to stay in our tent cabins or for guests with travel trailers (dry camping) during wedding reservations for the North Meadow venue. Additional fees per campsite or tent cabin (two nights only) will apply.  

There are three beautiful locations for your I Do's and your wedding​ photos.  Two memorable timber 

arbors are available either for your marriage vows or wedding cake display.  All three wedding venues include an option to add on a 3 day/2 night pack trip honeymoon.
