Imagine your ceremony on a lawn with towering trees, cliffs and waterfalls as your backdrop.

Receptions might begin with a cocktail hour on an outdoor patio gazing up at Glacier Point. Later everyone moves inside for a unique customized dinner in The Ahwahnee’s flexible special event spaces that feature spectacular views of sheer granite cliffs.

As a National Historical Landmark and one of the most distinctive resort hotels in North America, The Ahwahnee is well known for its great granite façade, striking beamed ceilings, massive stone hearths, richly colored Native American artwork and finely appointed rooms. One example of the grand architecture is The Ahwahnee Dining Room, which features a 34-foot high ceiling with large sugar pine trestles and floor-to-ceiling windows framed with stained glass.

Built in 1927 and designed to compliment the natural beauty of the surrounding landscape, The Ahwahnee’s redwood and granite-toned exterior blend seamlessly with the beautiful earth tones of its environment. Originally, the hotel was intended to attract prominent figures of the time into Yosemite National Park to assist in its preservation.

The Ahwahnee’s Native American décor is true to its original design, with the motif carried throughout guestrooms, reception rooms, and public areas. Magnificent windows are designed to bring Yosemite’s scenery indoors for your event.

Your guests have never seen such a majestic place to host your wedding. Envision your wedding celebration in this elegant setting!

Set in the heart of Yosemite Valley, The Ahwahnee is a AAA Four-Diamond Award winner and has been named the “Connoisseurs Choice for Historic Hotels” by Historic Hotels of America.
