About

The North Star House is a magnificent 1905 mansion located in the Heart of the Gold Country. The House was built for a mining engineer and was designed by Julia Morgan, California's first female architect and designer of the famous Hearst Castle. The North Star House is now owned and operated by a non-profit organization dedicated to its restoration.

The property offers a stunning yet affordable setting with lighted courtyard, grassy areas, romantic gardens, and sunset views from the veranda. You will have complete use of the House and grounds for 10 hours, plus tables and chairs for up to 200 people. With flexibility for how you envision you Big Day, you can dine in the courtyard or on the lawn, say "I Do" under the pergola or between the trees.

We have officially booked The North Star House for our wedding next year and am so in love with this venue, it has everything we were looking for especially the ability to be so flexible and bring our own perferred vendors. Such a great value for what you get! Deborah was great, and were excited for the big day!

Our Wedding at The North Star House

Sierra at The North Star House was very sweet. The house was beautiful, and the grounds were fully open to us during our scheduled time. We loved that we were able to bring in our own vendors and supply our own alcohol, because we had a unique theme(renaissance inspired/Game of Thrones), and needed to do a lot of customization to provide the ambiance we were going for. We also needed to have a tent since our wedding was in July, and Sierra worked closely with our vendor that she recommended to schedule set-up and tear-down. Overall, I highly recommend them. Plus they are a non-profit and it's a historical site, so it felt nice contributing to a good cause.

Gorgeous Venue

I had my wedding at the North Star House in July. It was originally planned for 2020 but was pushed to 2021. They were flexible and willing to work with me to find a new date. I thought the house was beautiful and so did all my guests! Special shout out to Allyssa who was amazing to work with!! The only con is the house is under construction, and will be for a while. Because of this, they don’t really clean up their tools, so bear that in mind before booking.
