Accomodations

Our wedding will be at Squirrel Creek Ranch in Grass Valley, just ten minutes from Shane's hometown of Nevada City, California. Grass Valley and Nevada City are historic gold mining towns that have a lot to offer (check out the activities page!).  Accommodations tend to book up quickly for the summer season so we recommend that you make your reservations as far in advance as possible. The weather in August is usually hot and dry during the day, be sure to bring water bottles and sun screen! The nights can be cooler and the occasional summer thunderstorm is a possibility, so be prepared. Be sure to bring swim suits and outdoor clothes.
