BIG BEAR LAKE DESTINATION WEDDINGS

Big Bear Lake

Big Bear Lake is a four-season mountain destination with a walkable village, lake activities, and winter sports. It’s the kind of place guests enjoy visiting, not just attending.

Why Guests Love the Area

At the center of town is The Village, the downtown hub for shopping, sightseeing, dining, and nightlife.

The Village

The Village keeps everything close and easy for guests, especially between events.

On the Water

In the warmer seasons, Big Bear’s marinas and outfitters offer rentals like pontoon boats, fishing boats, kayaks, jet skis, and paddleboards, plus scenic lake tours.

In the Pines

Big Bear sits within the San Bernardino National Forest, with options ranging from hiking to relaxed lakeside walks.

The Alpine Pedal Path

The Alpine Pedal Path is an easy asphalt trail along the north shore of Big Bear Lake. It’s managed by the USDA Forest Service.

Winter Energy

Big Bear Mountain Resort includes Snow Valley, Snow Summit, and Bear Mountain, offering winter activities like skiing, snowboarding, snow tubing, and snow play.

Where to Stay

Hosting a long weekend in Big Bear is easier when lodging is close by — especially for family and friends traveling in. If you’d like, we can help you point guests toward options that keep the weekend simple and comfortable.

Sunnybrook Estate is owned by Spencer and Laurie Kagan, who also own Apples Bed & Breakfast Inn nearby — an easy option for guests who want a hosted, well-cared-for stay during the weekend.

Limited rooms. Early booking is encouraged for wedding weekends.
