Dreaming of a wedding with sparkling blue waters and pine-scented mountain air? I know exactly how you feel—I’ve stood on those Tahoe shores and thought, “this is the place.” If you're looking for a setting that feels both romantic and grand, Lake Tahoe is where you’ll want to say "I do." I promise, once you see those views, you won’t want to get married anywhere else.

Highlights:

  • Lakeside Beach Weddings – I watched a couple exchange vows here with the lake glistening behind them—it was pure magic. You’ll love the relaxed, barefoot-on-the-beach kind of romance.
  • The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe – If you're dreaming of elegance in the mountains, I think you’ll fall for this one. I stayed here once and felt completely pampered—you’ll get snowy peaks and serious luxury.
  • Edgewood Tahoe – I’ve seen weddings here that looked like something out of a magazine. You’ll love how polished and picturesque every moment feels.
  • Heavenly Mountain Resort – I rode the gondola once just for the view—and you can actually get married at the top! If you want panoramic lake scenery, this is your spot.
  • Private Cabin & Lodge Venues – I always recommend this if you’re going for intimate and cozy. You’ll feel like you're in your own little forest retreat, and honestly, it’s hard to beat that kind of privacy.
