Where wishes come true and beautiful memories are made.

Location. Location. Location. It’s real and it’s important.

Bishop is in one of the most beautiful parts of our country. Our region also has an incredibly diverse range of settings and seasonal options. If you are planning a special event take a look at Bishop. We have incredible venues where you can create your dream event.

Elope to Independence

Did you know that elopements are big in our part of the world? Here’s what you do. Go to the courthouse in Independence, CA (just 40 miles south of Bishop) for a marriage license. It’s a marvelous, historic building where the staff will help you quickly and courteously. An added benefit is you’ll get the word “Independence” on your certificate. It could prove to be a marriage saver. Then head into the foothills or canyons of the majestic Sierra Nevada for a romantic ceremony and extra special wedding photos.

We are big on outdoors. We have the biggest, most beautiful backyard where secluded locations are easily accessible to set up off-the-grid type events or fully hooked up super parties. There are numerous indoor settings too. Some are located in town, others in bucolic countryside settings, and still more in quaint mountain retreat settings.

It’s also important to have the services and support of great people to make your dream event come true. We are proud of our locally-owned businesses and resident consultants who are skilled and experienced at what they do. They know what’s trending and how to create something unique. As owner-operators they are as invested as you are in making your event as wonderful and memorable as possible.

There are so many great places for wonderful events that we’ve created a special page all about hosting your event in Bishop. We have indoor venues and outdoor settings and places where you can combine the outdoors with the indoors and make your day super special.

Another important aspect of hosting an event in the Eastern Sierra is timing. Timing is everything when planning and executing an event. The Eastern Sierra has the full spectrum of all four seasons. We know our region and its seasons well. Talk to us as your vision starts to take shape and get to know which season is best for which location.
