You are only limited by your imagination! Possibilities could include a pre-reception at the Virginia City depot with cocktails and hors d’oeuvres served on the lawn. The wedding party then boards the train for a ride to Gold Hill on either Pullman or Parlor Car, with the ceremony on train at a location picked by the couple. The Wedding party then deboards the train for dinner at the historic Gold Hill Hotel followed by dancing at the Gold Hill Depot. The next morning the happy couple is joined by their friends and family for a Champagne Brunch at the Gold Hill Hotel and then the train returns to Gold Hill Depot to take wedding party back to Virginia City.
Custom decorations such as “Just Married” sign for the train, trellis, tables and chairs are also available.
Virginia and Truckee Railroad coordinator is available for site inspections, help with finding caterers, photographers and florists and day of ceremony support for an initial fee of $500.
V&T Wedding Testimonials
We were looking for a unique setting for our wedding and boy did we find it! The Virginia City Depot is just like stepping back in time and gave me the idea to dress my wedding party in Victorian dresses and the guys as mining tycoons! The pictures are priceless! The ceremony on the Pullman Car was perfect, with an aisle and a nice sound system. Our guests are still talking about the fun they had at the reception. The V&T staff was so helpful, they even put a “Just Married “ sign on the engine!

Our wedding day on the V&T was legendary! We had a pre-reception at the Virginia City Depot with cocktails and snacks and then everyone boarded the train for a ride to the Gold Hill Depot, the site of our ceremony and reception. We then rode back to Virginia City, with a champagne toast on board. The reception at the depot was perfect, casual, yet fun. Thank you, V&T, for a wonderful day!

This was the second time around for both of us, so we wanted to have some fun. We chose the Shotgun Special package, complete with white shotguns for props. My matron of honor and I dressed like saloon girls and the guys were gunslingers. It was a hoot! We got married at the depot and the took a train ride to Gold Hill, just in time to see the sunset. We had a champagne toast on the train back to Virginia City and then a small but fun reception at the depot. Such a great day, with memories that will last forever.
