Weddings & Events
Where the Mountains Meet the Lake — and Forever Begins
A Northern California Wedding Venue Unlike Any Other
Tucked along the forested shoreline of Shasta Lake, Antlers Resort & Marina is the kind of place couples imagine when they dream of a wedding in the mountains of Northern California. Towering pines, glassy blue water, and golden sunsets create a backdrop that no ballroom can replicate.
Our family-owned resort has welcomed guests to Shasta Lake for generations. Today, we host one-of-a-kind weddings, vow renewals, anniversaries, and milestone celebrations — with the rare ability to house your entire guest list on-site in lakeview cabins, RV accommodations, and even private houseboats.
Whether you envision a barefoot ceremony at the water’s edge, a string-lit reception on our deck, or a full three-day resort buyout, our team will help you craft a wedding weekend your guests will never stop talking about.

The Shasta Lake Difference
Planning a Shasta Lake Wedding
Antlers Resort & Marina is located in Lakehead, California, on the upper reaches of Shasta Lake — the largest reservoir in California. We’re approximately 30 minutes north of Redding, 3.5 hours from the Sacramento area, 4.5 hours from the San Francisco Bay Area, and 4 hours south of Portland, Oregon, with direct access right off Interstate 5.
Our venue spaces comfortably accommodate intimate gatherings of 25 guests up to large celebrations of 200+. Capacity depends on the package selected and how you choose to use our Ceremony Lot, Reception Deck, and Lodge spaces. The Full Resort Buyout (Package Three) is ideal for the largest weddings.
Absolutely — and that’s what makes Antlers special. With Package Two and Package Three, your guests can stay in our 11 Lakeview cabins and our full hook-up RV sites. Package Three even includes a private houseboat for the newlyweds. Most couples tell us the on-site lodging is what turns their wedding into an unforgettable weekend.
Our most popular wedding season runs from late April through October, when Shasta Lake weather is warm, dry, and the lake is at its most picturesque. Late spring and early fall offer the most comfortable temperatures and softest light for photography. We do book quickly — most couples reserve 9 to 18 months in advance.
We’re a venue — not a full-service planner — which gives you the freedom to bring in your favorite Northern California vendors. Our on-site venue host will support logistics for the spaces themselves, and we’re happy to recommend trusted local caterers, florists, photographers, and coordinators who know our property well.
Start by contacting us through our inquiry form or by calling (800) 238-3924. We’ll walk you through availability, pricing, and answer any questions. Site visits are encouraged and easy to schedule — most couples decide within minutes of seeing the lake for themselves.
