Convict Lake Resort

Convict Lake Resort sits at 7,850 feet in the Eastern Sierra, just outside Mammoth Lakes, California, on the shores of a glacially carved lake surrounded by Mt. Morrison and Laurel Mountain. Operating under a Special Use Permit from the Inyo National Forest, the resort has welcomed guests since 1929 and earned recognition as an award-winning wedding venue in one of California's most scenic mountain settings. The property hosts weddings, vow renewals, quinceañeras, anniversaries, birthday parties, and private celebrations, accommodating gatherings from 30 to 185 guests. Ceremony sites include the Aspen Grove, set beneath a canopy of aspen trees, and the Mountain View Site, which frames the surrounding peaks. Both locations open onto the lake and its dramatic ridgeline backdrop. Convict Lake Resort provides full event coordination from initial planning through breakdown, including timeline creation, vendor recommendations, customized floorplan design, and on-site coordination throughout the event. In-house catering and beverage service are available through Morrison's Restaurant & Bar, with a complimentary spring tasting offered to booked couples.
