Click here for an in-depth breakdown of all services provided for each wedding.

Nestled in the heart of California’s historic gold country, Power’s Mansion Inn hosts destination weddings free from the stresses of self-planning, earning the crown of Best Wedding Location in the Auburn Journal for the past five years. A team of professional, certified wedding planners sets about planning a perfect day, untangling the minutiae so that husband and wife remain as happy and relaxed as Barry White on a roller coaster. Details large and small—from the bride’s dress and makeup to the reception's DJ—receive planners’ utmost attention as they scurry about in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding. Couples can choose to hold their ceremony at one of two outdoor wedding sites⎯a tropical stone waterfall setting that kicks off the honeymoon with natural accents or a Victorian gazebo where the provided officiant stands amid white painted posts and ribbons.

Up to 140 guests can refuel at the banquet buffet, partake in the three-tiered wedding cake, and dance the night away under the reception ballroom’s antique chandelier or outdoor Burning Man. Access to the mansion’s Irish-themed bar and lounge keeps the party going into the early morning hours with beers microbrewed on-site, house wine, and mixed cocktails. Power's Mansion Inn also provides the camera-wielding services of a professional photographer for 6.5 hours the day of the wedding, so couples can relive their first macarena as husband and wife for years to come.

The all-inclusive package at Power's Mansion Inn also includes banquet rooms that accommodate up to 30 guests for the rehearsal dinner and lodging for these 30 in 15 of the Victorian mansion’s bed-and-breakfast rooms, providing ample supply for a destination wedding. Meanwhile, the newlyweds spend the night in the bridal suite, relaxing in a heart-shaped jacuzzi tub and displaying their love with romantic blanket forts.
