The Meadowlands

Do you dream of getting married in the mountains, near a river, with a cozy campground-style reception under the stars?

That dream can now be your reality.

The Meadowlands at Yosemite Retreat offers a one-of-a-kind experience for couples seeking a glamping Yosemite wedding venue surrounded by open meadow, forest, and mountain air. Designed for immersive wedding weekends, this space blends natural beauty with a relaxed, elevated camping experience on a private estate wedding venue in California. Here you’ll find the perfect blank canvas to create a setting that feels warm, elegant, and effortlessly magical. From chic bell tents for guest accommodations to beautifully styled lounge spaces, every detail can be designed to reflect your vision. Our glamping experience transforms the meadow into an unforgettable wedding retreat, complete with a luxurious bridal bell tent and space for guests to bring their own tents if they choose.

Imagine slow mornings with coffee together, evenings gathered around the fire, barefoot laughter, and a wedding that truly feels like a weekend getaway.

Ceremonies take place in the open meadow, surrounded by trees and natural landscape — a peaceful, expansive setting that keeps the focus on your moment. Receptions flow seamlessly into the meadow, where couples gather under the stars with glamping-style setups, soft lighting, and relaxed lounge spaces.

This space is perfect for couples who want a laid-back, immersive experience where everything feels connected, easy, and unhurried.

What couples love about this space:

  • Meadow ceremonies surrounded by nature

  • Outdoor receptions with a glamping, under-the-stars feel

  • Bell tents creating a unique guest experience

  • Cozy lounge areas and fire pit gathering spaces

  • A natural, seamless flow from ceremony to celebration
