Pulga is a magical getaway in the heart of California's Gold Country. We love being outdoors and couldn't imagine a more special place to be married than in Pulga, which we've watched transform from an abandoned mining town to charming retreat over the past several years.
While we are so excited to be married in Pulga, we know that rustic outdoor adventures simply aren't for everyone. Please read on so you know what to expect:
What will you find in pulga?
- A private "town" where everyone there is friends and family of Matthew & Tessa

- An incredible view of the night sky
- Cabana tents, camping sites and (a few, limited) parking spots for your RV or camper van
