Weddings · Big Bear Lake

Vows in the pines.

Mid-century lounge ceremonies, fire-pit toasts, and the lake a three-minute walk away. We help small celebrations feel inevitable — and partner with our sister property when the guest list grows past fifty.

Why The Burgundy

Enchanting venues that breathe Big Bear.

Workshop big ideas in our mid-century lounge, toast new beginnings on a string-lit deck, or walk three minutes to the lake. Each indoor-meets-outdoor space wraps Big Bear's alpine air in dark-wood warmth, brass accents, and a wink of 70s nostalgia — so your guests feel equal parts inspired and at ease.

From intimate elopements to 150-person reunions, our team handles timelines, local catering, and vintage decor touches while you focus on the magic.

Venue types

Three ways to say "I do."

Vaulted A-frame lounge with stone fireplace

Indoor lounge

Vaulted ceilings, a stone hearth, vinyl spinning in the background. The Burgundy's mid-century lounge holds 30 seated for ceremonies that want to feel like a wood-paneled living room.

Property balcony under pines — pool-deck atmosphere

Pool deck

String lights, fire pits along the perimeter, and the kind of sunset that makes the photographer cry. Holds 80 for cocktails, 60 seated for ceremony or dinner.

For the big celebrations

Sessions Retreat scales the magic.

For large celebrations we join forces with our sister property — Sessions Retreat & Hotel — which offers a full-service bar, a spacious event hall, and added amenities so large groups can gather with ease. Same ownership, same hospitality, same five-minute drive across town.

If your guest list runs past 50, we'll walk you through both properties on a single tour.
