Forest House Couples
“Had my wedding here and it was amazing. Received so many compliments. If you are a “type B” bride like me and don’t like planning, then this is the perfect place with the all-inclusive food/dessert, the decor you get to use, and the day-of-wedding coordinator. Onsite lodging was so convenient. The staff were amazing.”

Meet Monica & Julie
Nothing puts a bigger smile on Monica’s face than couples telling her they feel like family. When she founded Forest House Lodge in 2002, her vision was simple: the most beautiful venue near Sacramento, built around culinary excellence.
Julie’s passion lies in the details. Supporting couples behind the scenes, anticipating every need, and being present for the moments that will mark their lives forever.
Together, they are the foundation of one of Northern California’s most top-rated all-inclusive wedding experiences.
