Wedding Venue Review - Cider Mountain
My recent visit to Cider Mountain Lodge & Wedding Venue
I recently had the pleasure of exploring Cider Mountain Lodge & Wedding Venue, tucked away in the picturesque landscape of North Idaho, between Coeur d’Alene and Sandpoint. As a wedding photographer who has seen countless venues, I must say, Cider Mountain is truly a unique gem that promises more than just a wedding day—it promises an unforgettable wedding weekend. New for this season is an After Hours Speakeasy; picture a vintage jazz club vibe that doubles as a premiere recording studio that has been used by music legends for the last 20 years!

Conveniently Located in North Idaho
Located just 15 minutes from Farragut State Park, Cider Mountain wedding venue is spread over 160 private acres of natural beauty, with pine trees and rolling hills—a breathtaking backdrop for your wedding! As I walked the property, I felt a sense of exclusivity and luxury fit for a celebrity wedding. With friendly staff ready to assist, it’s clear why Cider Mountain is regarded as North Idaho’s Premier Wedding Venue. Cider Mountain's wedding package includes a four-day, three-night stay with up to 40 overnight guests. The outdoor venue allows for 200 ceremony and reception guests

The Venue's Heartbeat: The After Hours Speakeasy
Now, let me take you inside the most exciting new feature of Cider Mountain—the After Hours Speakeasy. Picture this: after the wedding, instead of worrying about logistics of moving your party elsewhere, you step into a grand 1600 sq ft space that feels like a swanky jazz club. With 20-foot high ceilings, the speakeasy is decked out with disco balls, oil paintings, vintage furniture, and even a jukebox that sets the mood for a night to remember.
What makes it even cooler? This speakeasy doubles as a recording studio, frequented by famous musicians who find inspiration and solitude here. If the walls could talk, the stories they’d tell would be of the legendary nights spent here.
If you value privacy, cherish quality time with your loved ones, and dream of a wedding that extends beyond the conventional, then Cider Mountain is waiting to welcome you. Come and make memories that last a lifetime, not just a day.
