Harmony Ridge Lodge — Hotel in Nevada City

Attended a wedding at this location. First let me say, most of all the photos shown for Harmony Ridge are OLD. There is NO grass, it's turf, there is no covering on the deck, all of the greenery has been removed around the wedding arch and beyond the deck. I didn't see any pictures that resemble what Harmony Ridge looks like present day. It's still lovely and very pleasant for a wedding or event but be prepared. NOW, for the main review. A friends wedding in which they paid top dollar, booked well in advance, for whole location, lodge included, for entire weekend of wedding. Informed the day of wedding, decorating going in and out of the Lodge that we had to keep door closed and NOT let the CAT out! No prior mention of any cat and now we had to monitor and not let it out! Friday night realized many of the outdoor lights DID NOT work, seems those should have been attended to before our arrival, yet we had to ask they be replaced day of wedding. Approx 2 hrs it took for them to be fixed so no, it wasn't just a couple bulbs. Wedding party was informed upon arrival that they had to be out Sunday at 11am due to another event booked. No prior communication of this was given, it wasn't until arrival on Friday the venue mentioned it. This was not what had originally been told. Their lack of communication is very frustrating. Last, seems things are not being kept up, repairs, painting, decor, and just common things to make it what is once was have fallen to the wayside. It's disappointing. AND yes the 2 breakfast meats per person is completely off putting! Do better...

This venue is absolutely amazing! We had our wedding their late last month and we are so lucky to have found this hidden gem. My husband had very few requests for the wedding, but getting married in the woods was one of them. We had toured a handful of other venues as well, but they were all outrageously priced. We we toured Harmony Ridge, instantly we fell in love. Once we got back in our vehicle after staff member Faith walked us around the property we knew it was our venue. The scenery and quietness of the surrounding area is unmatched, and they are pet friendly which was essential to us, as our fur babies were a part of our big day.

Every step of the process owner Tongming was there to answer any questions or concerns we may have had. Responding promptly, and was extremely flexible with our vision. Not only were we able to place our dance floor in the back so we can have the reception all in one area, but we were able to have a candlelight sendoff as well.

We booked the venue for the whole weekend, and it was the right decision by all means. Having the wedding party and family on property all weekend long made everything run so smoothly. The rooms are all very clean, spacious and have individual bathrooms and mini fridges in each one. The staff whom was there to feed us in the mornings was incredibly friendly, and the meals were always delicious.

We simply can not praise the venue and staff enough for the experience and service that was provided to us on our special weekend. Our guests could also not stop raving about the venue, and how nice everything...
