The drive to this Apple Hill country in El Dorado County is beautiful. Approaching Silverthorn Meadows through the forest, you see the manicured lawn and serene pond. A perfect little rose garden, sweet benches, and lovely landscaping greet you.
This ideal venue offers a lush lawn, nicely placed floral beds, and accent arbors. The pond is a perfect backdrop for the ceremony or to enjoy one of the sitting areas around it. Photos are fabulous on the bridge or plan for a little row boat experience and take some romantic photos pre-ceremony. The giant red maple anchors the lawn and adds tons of shade with the setting sun. And the fall colors are stunning! There are location options at Silverthorn Meadows for the ceremony, cocktail hour, dinner and dancing.
The special touches catch your eye right away. From the sitting areas around the property, to the soft spray of the pond fountains, to the pretty chandelier over what would make the perfect cake arbor. This 12,000 square foot lawn area is perfectly situated to take advantage of the shade cast from the outlining trees. The edges of the space are surrounded by tall pine trees as far as you can see. Accommodating a comfortable 150 guests, a ceremony can flow into the cocktail space and then right to dinner and dancing all in this lawn area.
Or you may decide to move your guests around a bit. The tent is also a great option for dining and/or dancing. As evening approaches the glow under the canopy of twinkle lights and cool chandeliers is perfect! In addition, there is a stone patio adjacent to the tent so you can dance under the stars. Strategically placed market lighting throughout the property creates ambiance…even over the pond. Thus, the views are pretty from every location!
Every detail has been considered by the caring owners. The couple is pampered with large, comfortable dressing areas with lots of mirrors, hair and makeup chairs and patio access for natural lighting. Also, they offer their handsome black BMW convertible for a show-stopping bridal entrance. Wedding rental includes tables, chairs, bar, 2 firepits, outdoor heaters and more to minimize your need for outside rentals! And vendors will appreciate the planned catering spot for their needs and ease of service for a perfectly timed event.
The uphill parking lot is plentiful, and an enjoyable large SUV is arranged to bring guests from the parking lot down to the pond area. The restrooms are convenient and spacious with a lovely lounge area.
Silverthorn Meadows is a weekend wedding venue, so you get the entire venue, including some overnight accommodations, with your wedding booking. If you are looking for a beautiful garden setting in the foothills with the sound of birds and a light breeze, look no further.
