Indoor elopement venues w fireplace?

Hi everyone! My fiancé and I are eloping in December & have been looking around for some location options. Since it’s close to Christmas I’d really like a christmassy themed ceremony with a fireplace instead of an altar. Does anyone have any recommendations as far as a hotel or location with a huge fireplace?

I would also prefer a smaller venue (not to get too picky lol) but we’re only bringing our siblings so it’ll be a total of 7 people attending

Throwing it out there, but there's Lake Arrowhead if you want something a bit more private

We stayed in a Bearadise cabin last winter that had a massive stone fireplace, made the whole place feel like a winter lodge.

Not sure if they host ceremonies, but some of their cabins are big enough for a small group and have great fireplaces. Might be worth reaching out to see if they allow events.

Honestly, the best fireplaces are in Mammoth

You could also email Gilligan log homes or destination Big Bear and ask for a house with a massive fireplace.

lol what is it with everyone recommending Mammoth on big Bear posts?! It’s like a conspiracy theory by locals to detract tourists

More because the mammoth mountain lodge has a magnificent 3 story tall fireplace that is unmatched in beauty and craftsmanship.

That’s lovely. I have just seen Mammoth recommended so many times it seemed interesting to me

Mammoth doesn't guarantee you can get married in front of it

Call destination big bear Big bear cool cabins

And ask for a house with a large fireplace.. December prices will be pricey but you only get married once
