Summer Wedding

A Beautiful August Wedding

Weddings are quickly becoming the highlights of summer months here at Noon Lodge. We just love meeting all these amazing couples and their friends and families. And nothing beats getting to see the joy & happiness as they celebrate what we hope is the best weekend of their lives.

Albert & Lauren were no exception and we are so happy we can share some photos from their beautiful day!

Why did you pick Noon Lodge for your wedding venue?

My husband actually came across this place on instagram. The day he proposed to me he said he wanted to check this venue out and knew it was perfect. Big Bear was a big part of his childhood and when we started dating, We would come with his family and since then it has always had a special place in our hearts. Big Bear was our dream wedding destination and Noon Lodge was just perfect! We absolutely loved it.

What was your favorite memory of your wedding?

Our favorite memory of the wedding was the enjoyment of our families being together. We haven't been able to see each other or get together as a family in such a LONG time, especially due to the pandemic. This really was a special moment and to see both our families and friends come together which meant that much more to us.


What about Noon Lodge made your wedding feel special and unique?

The fact that our immediate family and friends were able to stay in the same spot the whole weekend made it that more special to us. I am not kidding, everyone who stayed there loved the fact that our families were able to stay together and didn't have to worry about driving down the mountain. It was a great date night/weekend for our families. Every minute of our wedding was perfect. We would do it all over again if we could.

Nikki + Logan’s Colorful Wedding

Why did you pick Noon Lodge for your wedding venue?

We knew that we wanted a whole weekend of celebrations! Since most of our guests were from LA, we looked around some favorite SoCal vacation spots hoping it would give our guests an excuse to come for the whole weekend. We stumbled upon Noon Lodge and it seemed like a dream come true to have nearly our whole wedding stay on site for the long weekend! We fell in love immediately.

What was your favorite memory of your wedding?

There are so many to choose from but one of our favorite memories was a dance-off that we had in the middle of the reception! Inspired by one of our favorite artists, we asked our guests to split down the middle then compete with us in a dance-off where each side mimicked one leader. It was something I wanted to incorporate early on since we didn't have a traditional bouquet toss or anything and it turned out SO FUN!

What about Noon Lodge made your wedding feel special and unique?

Noon Lodge is truly the dream wedding venue. It felt like we had our own little Summer Camp full of friends and family for the whole weekend and made the whole experience magical. I loved seeing our friends relax by the pool during our rehearsal and we were even allowed to play our own music over the sound system, which made the space feel even more our own.

Highlighting a Wedding from June

Today we get to highlight another beautiful wedding from a darling couple. We asked them to share in their own words why they picked Noon Lodge as their venue and what about it made their weekend so special.

When we were looking for a wedding venue (this was pre-pandemic) we knew that we absolutely wanted to get married in Ian’s (the groom) home state. We gravitated towards Big Bear for the uniquely stunning scenery, especially during spring and summer. The Noon Lodge specifically stuck out to us as the perfect venue for a small, intimate wedding. We loved the idea of having our guests spend a whole weekend with us, turning it into a vacation or experience rather than just a wedding night. We knew many of our guests would appreciate the surroundings and all of the outdoor activities that pair with it, making for a really fun weekend all around. And it absolutely was! We even got a chance to jump in the pool, right before our rehearsal dinner. Many people got a chance to walk around the area and explore, on foot or by bike.


What was your favorite memory of your wedding?

Our favorite memory would probably be the late nights of the whole weekend, after all the festivities have died down for the most part, when it’s really quiet and dark outside, and you have an incredible view of the stars and moon. This is where all the best moments and conversations took place, around the fireplaces and balconies.

They also asked that we highlight and give a shout out to all their vendors.

Especially because of planning our wedding out of state (we now live in Indiana, the bride’s home state), we absolutely are so thankful for all our vendors who we really felt went above and beyond to make our day special.
