Music is essential to a wedding and our dance floor and stage comes with a sound system ready for a professional DJ or your own chosen MC. With romantic outdoor lighting, you’ll have a great space to enjoy the traditional wedding dances as well as get your guests up and moving with energetic line dances.

Multiple Locations for Ceremony & Reception

And various themes for your arbor and seating.

With such a spacious venue, there are several places on the grounds to hold your ceremony. You may want a further walk to calm nerves, or a specific tree arrangement you see as your backdrop. Based on the specific time of your wedding, our venue coordinator might advise you on which locations would be best, but ultimately the choice is yours.

Choose from 5 different arbors to match your theme and style.

Each arbor is hand-crafted from wood and can be elegantly decorated with flowers, fabric, greenery or lights. Options include the traditional arch as well as multiple geometric-shaped arbors.

Enjoy the crackle of a wood-burning fireplace in the evenings as you sit with family and friends talking, laughing, telling stories, and savoring the time spent together. It’s a picturesque gathering area complete with oversized rocking chairs and perfect outdoor string lighting. For evenings that get a little chilly, there are also tall propane patio heaters for your use.

Cabins for Overnight Guests

White cabin with dark green roof and dark brown deck--one of the cabins for guest lodging at Cider Mountain

We have 3 cabins* on the property for lodging. Having a space at the venue for out-of-town guests, extended family, or just more friends benefits them and you. No need to worry about finding hotel reservations or driving after the reception. Plus a weekend wedding with overnight guests gives you more time to spend together, the ability to catch up without feeling rushed, and the opportunity to create lasting memories.

Each cabin sleeps 6 people and has its own private bathroom. The cabins have different bed variations with the following configurations:

  • Cabins 1 & 3 have two queen beds and a set of bunk beds.

  • Cabin 2 has 3 queen beds.

Cabins are a few steps away from The Lodge, yet give your guests the space and privacy they want throughout the weekend.
