Mitchells Mountain Meadows

If I could give more than 5 stars I would!
Our wedding was in August 2015. We had wanted a venue that was out in nature. Our vision was to be in the middle of a forest surrounded by music and loved ones having a celebration of our union. It ended up being an adventure of love that lasted the whole weekend long. That was our favorite part of this venue… we could rent it out the whole weekend and not break the bank!
The moment we went to look at the land and speak to the owners, Pam and Fred, I knew that there wasn’t a need to look any further. There aren’t many other options around town that offer what this venue does so I jumped on the chance to book them. We wanted a hands on wedding where we decided what it would look like from the ceremony to celebration. Pam and Fred were so supportive through our process that they never wanted to interfere with any ideas we had. Only offered suggestions to encourage our vision. The level of communication they offered was what really made them the heart of this experience for us. So much that they were invited to our wedding.
When we searched for a venue we wanted certain freedoms. This venue offered us the chance to celebrate without worrying about time, space, and noise restrictions. We had music going on til 4am, dancing under the stars!
The venue is further from town with the last mile being a dirt road. Our guests came from all over. No problems finding places to stay as well as driving to the location. We also hired a shuttle to take guests to and from the wedding so that dirt road was easy enough for anyone to drive on. All our vendors (food, equipment and shuttle) were able to drive to our locations with ease. Pam and Fred offer great suggestions if you need vendors.
Since we rented this place for the whole weekend then we wanted to take advantage of it. We held a BBQ the day before and after the wedding. This gave us time to set up and break down our decorations, equipment rental as well as make any last minute adjustments. We invited our guests to help out and in return had a BBQ with games. It gave our guests a chance to really get to know each other. Our family and friends said that having all that time really gave them an opportunity to connect and by the end feel like one big family.
It is hard to express everything I want without writing a novel. We worked very hard to create a ceremony and celebration that expressed our union. We fumbled on some stuff but hit the mark when we picked this venue to have it at. The only bummer was thinking we should have held the ceremony in the evening versus afternoon. Night time came to quickly! I would have held the ceremony earlier to take advantage of taking my time as the bride to relax into the celebration and sit back to enjoy the breath taking land we were dancing on.
My husband and I are already thinking of renting the space again to have an anniversary party! Mostly I want to be best friends with Pam and Fred. After you meet them then you’ll understand why. =)

Not only are the owners of the property accommodating and delightful to work with, they venue is absolutely beautiful! I can’t say enough good things about Mitchells Meadows. It is a bit off the beaten track, which is why we loved it. There are several different meadows to choose from for the ceremony, cocktail, and reception and we chose to use all three, which made it slightly like an adventure. If you are looking for an outdoor venue, don’t skip looking at MM!

I can’t say enough good things about Fred and Pam Mitchell and their beautiful property. My new husband and I got married at MMM on Sept 12 of this year. Fred and Pam were incredibly helpful, gracious, and accommodating – traits that are rarely used to describe wedding venue hosts.
We were coming from out of town. We didn’t know the area well nor did we know what to expect. It’s not like weddings happen very frequently! :) Not only did this wonderful couple provide much-​needed advice and assistance before the wedding, but they really stepped up on the day of to help out wherever needed… whether it was with the flowers, lights, cleaning, moving stuff around, etc. These guys are truly professionals and just all around good people. If you do decide to get married here (and that would be a wise choice), your wedding will be in the best hands possible.
Now to the beauty and charm of the property. Where do I even begin? This venue is off-​the-​charts beautiful no matter the season. There are multiple areas from which you can choose to hold your ceremony and reception. It’s landscaped where it needs to be landscaped, but Fred did an amazing job at keeping the rustic charm of the surrounding woods intact, really allowing the natural beauty to shine through.
The cabin is cute and perfect for getting ready. My bridesmaids and I were very comfortable there while we were getting our hair and makeup done. The boys used the basement below the cabin, which worked well for them.
All of our guests were amazed at how stunning everything was. It is truly a magical place!
And to top it all off, the venue was by far the best value for what they offer.
I love LOVE Fred and Pam and MMM for their huge help in making my wedding stress free, memorable, and beautiful!
Just a few things to know before booking: 1. there is only one spot on the property where cell service is available and it’s a bit of a trek to get to. Be prepared for dead silence while you’re there. Planning ahead is crucial bc if you forget something (like I did) it’s not likely that you’ll be able to reach anyone back in town. 2. The venue is very remote… about 25 minutes from downtown Truckee on a dirt road in the middle of what feels like nowhere. It was perfect for us, but some folks may not be into that.
