There's a really pretty little park by a small lake, there's even a wooden covered bridge. There's also a Lodge in Stallion that is pretty nice. Too bad Mourning Cloak was not kept up - it would've been perfect. Now you have to provide your own outhouses!</font> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_170926 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_170926 <font size="3">Have you looked out in Stallion Springs?

We rented chairs and tables from BS&E equipment rentals a couple of blocks from the park. My Friend victor who caters weddings catered ours.We had 105 people and it was a great place to get married.

It is really pretty there. The problem with outdoor weddings in Tehachapi is the weather can be very unpredictable. You could start planning now for a nice Spring wedding, only to have it snow! It's snowed here on Easter before!  Even if it's a comfortable day, you'll still have to contend with the wind. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_170965 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_170965 I'm not sure if Morning Cloak Botanical Gardens on Old Town Road will allow weddings, but it might be a good place to ask.

The Lodge at Woodward West has a beautiful outdoor patio where you get married in front of a beautiful oak tree and it overlooks stallion. The patio is paved so no worries about dirt. It's really gorgeous. I was supposed to get married on that patio but mother nature decided to send a horrible rain/wind storm the night before & that day...lol...so we had to move it inside. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_171033 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_171033 The Lodge at Woodward West has a beautiful outdoor patio where you get married in front of a beautiful oak tree and it overlooks stallion.

A lot of people hold weddings, parties and receptions at Cub Lake in Bear Valley Springs.  I'm not sure if you need to be a resident to reserve an area at the lake (BVS is a gated community) but it's worth asking.  By the way, congratulations!  :-) http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_171174 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_171174 A lot of people hold weddings, parties and receptions at Cub Lake in Bear Valley Springs.  I'm not sure if you need to be a resident to reserve an area at the lake (BVS is a gated community) but it's worth asking.  By the way, congratulations!  :-) Thanks for the ideas.&nbsp; I'll do some looking around at the spots everyone recomended.&nbsp; Thanks for the congrats caninecreek!&nbsp; http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_171196 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_171196 Thanks for the ideas.&nbsp; I'll do some looking around at the spots everyone recomended.&nbsp; Thanks for the congrats caninecreek!&nbsp; If you need a pass for BVS let me know and I'll be happy to call one in for you. :)  And congrats on the wedding, and best wishes for a happy and fortuitous future together! http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_171212 http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/Lanamaree/18260/#c_171212 If you need a pass for BVS let me know and I'll be happy to call one in for you. :)  And congrats on the wedding, and best wishes for a happy and fortuitous future together!
