Fall Wedding Venue in Big Bear
Gold in the black oak, cold clear nights, and the best star cover of the year.
Fall Wedding Venue at Sunstone
Autumn is the quiet favourite. The summer crowds are gone from the mountain, the light gets long and low, and the nights are cold enough that the fire pit earns its keep.
Sunstone is forty private acres at 8,200 feet in the San Bernardino Mountains, bordered by national forest, with the Pacific Crest Trail running through the property and Cienaga Creek through the middle of it. The land has hosted hundreds of weddings over the past twenty years and is now under new management.
