Epic Star Wars Wedding at Lake Natoma Inn Folsom: Lightsaber Cake Cutting, Mac & Cheese Bar + Bridal Party Lightsaber Battle


When the bride told her planner “I want my wedding to feel like I’m walking onto the set of A New Hope… but make it romantic,” everyone knew this was going to be legendary. On a perfect spring evening in 2025, the historic Lake Natoma Inn in Folsom, California transformed into a galaxy far, far away for the most epic Star Wars themed wedding Sacramento has ever seen. A Ceremony Worthy of the Jedi Council

The ceremony took place in front of the Inn’s gazebo and flower packed patio as the sun dipped behind the Sierra foothills. The bride was in a custom galactic ballgown with subtle constellation embroidery and a 10-foot starlight veil, walked down the aisle holding a lightsaber bouquet that actually lit up. The groom, looking sharper than a Rebel pilot, wore a tailored Imperial Officer uniform aka a tux. Their vows? You guessed it:


“I love you.”


“I know.”

The Reception: Where the Force (and the Food) Was Strong Inside the Lake Natoma Inn’s grand ballroom, tables were named after planets (Hoth, Endor, Naboo) and centerpieces were glowing Holocrons. But the real show-stopper? The food. Dinner was an elegant plated masterpiece from the Inn’s award-winning kitchen, but the late-night snack that went viral on TikTok was the build-your-own Mac & Cheese Bar. The dance floor cleared as staff rolled out the glowing station and 200 guests sprinted like it was the last shuttle off Coruscant.



The Lightsaber Cake Cutting Everyone’s Still Talking About Instead of a traditional cake knife, the bride ignited her lightsaber and sliced into the cake while the DJ dropped the Imperial March into Binary Sunset. Sparks flew. Phones were out. The internet broke.

The Moment That Broke Instagram: Bridal Party Lightsaber Battle


Just when guests thought the night couldn’t get more extra, the DJ announced, “The bride has challenged her bridesmaids to a duel for the bouquet!” The bride — still in her full ballgown — grabbed her lightsaber and faced off against the groomsmen armed with purple, green, and red blades. What followed was a lightsaber battle complete with spins, flips, and dramatic “force pushes.” The bride won (obviously).


Why Lake Natoma Inn is Perfect for Themed Weddings The historic Lake Natoma Inn in Folsom proved once again why it’s one of Northern California’s most beloved wedding venues. The flexibility to bring in Stormtroopers, lightsabers, and a full Mac & Cheese bar after 10 p.m. without batting an eye? That’s venue magic. Add the stunning lake views, elegant ballroom, and legendary in-house catering, and it’s no wonder couples travel from across the country for their big day here.
