Weddings

Where the whole family comes up the mountain

Forty private acres where your people stay together, for days rather than hours. Ceremony under the pines beside Cienaga Creek, dinner outdoors as the light goes gold across the ridge, dancing under the stars, and a fire in your own cabin long after.

Days, not hours

One property, one group, mountain pace

Weddings in every season, family reunions, milestone celebrations, multi-generational retreats. With lodging for up to forty guests on site, Sunstone offers what most venues cannot.

No shuttling guests to a hotel in town. No hard stop when the ballroom's next booking arrives. Your people are all in one place, and the weekend unfolds at mountain pace.

Twenty years of weddings

A new chapter

This land has hosted hundreds of weddings over the past twenty years. It is now under new management - the setting and the experience that made it a destination, carried forward with fresh stewardship, a renewed property, and a team dedicated to hosting your people well.

One mountain, everything handled

Plan with one point of contact instead of eleven

Sunstone is a one-stop shop. We work in partnership with the region's top vendors, and everyone who arrives on this mountain has worked it before.

Catering & bar

Full-service menus, private chefs, bar service, welcome dinner and farewell brunch.

Structures

Tenting, dance floors, staging, lighting, evening heating.

Furnishings

Tables, chairs, linens, place settings, lounge furniture.

Design

Florals, styling, signage, decor built for the setting.

Production

Sound, DJ or live music, photography and video.

Ceremony

Site setup, officiant referral, rehearsal coordination.

Guest logistics

On-site lodging assignment, parking, arrival and transport.

Extras

Hair and makeup, spa and bodywork, guided hikes, welcome gifts.

Throughout

A dedicated Sunstone coordinator, first call to send-off.

A remote mountain property is exactly where DIY vendor management falls apart - wrong access road, no power for the band, a caterer who has never worked at 8,200 feet. Ours have. You get the drama of a wild, remote setting with none of the logistical risk that usually comes with it.
