The ceremony and social hour will be on the outside observation deck and the reception is indoors with the same lake view and sweeping mountain scape. Available April – early December.

I honestly don't know if I have enough time to write all my favorite things about Palisades Tahoe. I have worked at this venue for last 7 years. They quickly became one of my favorite venues to work at, either at High Camp, OVL or many of their other amazing locations like Base Camp, Rocker, Plaza bar etc. They feel like family, the planning staff there are top notch, they truly know how to take care of their clients. The catering staff goes above and beyond for each couple we have together, their food DELICIOUS in all aspects of appetizers, plated or buffet and some of the real show stoppers are done by their pastry chef Cortney. On the wedding day, they are so attentive and work their bums off to make sure that our couples have thee most amazing experiences. I constantly commend them for their professionalism and support through the process to the couples we have together because of the attention to detail and care. It also doesn't hurt that they have some of the most incredible views of Lake Tahoe from High Camp, or beautiful mountains from the garden at OVL and the village. I feel so lucky to be able to work with so many incredible couples on the mountain. If you are looking for a venue, you will not be disappointed with Palisades Tahoe. (Trust me, I work with a lot of venues and they are top of my list!)

Toiyabe Golf Club 

5.0

Washoe Valley, NV
  • Up to 200 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor & outdoor
  • Starts at $10,000

We are located in the beautiful Washoe Valley, surrounded by mountains, ponds and the greenery of the golf course. We offer everything from set up to break down, you also get a wedding manager as well as an event manager for your big day! We wont miss a thing when it comes to the planning and execution of your wedding.

I can go on and on about how amazing Toiyabe Golf Club is! My husband (then fiance) and I live in Reno and wanted a beautiful mountainous venue close to home with scenic views when we started planning our wedding in March 2022. When we searched the Tahoe area, everything was either too expensive or too small. Then on our way home, while driving through Washoe Valley, my husband and I spontaneously swung by Toiyabe Golf Club, and I’m glad we did. Not only did the venue have exactly the look and feel we wanted for our fall wedding but Savannah, the venue coordinator, was extremely accommodating! Fast forward to our wedding this past Saturday(October 14, 2023) and we had the most beautiful wedding I could have dreamed! From set up to breakdown, Savannah and her staff were there for us making sure our vision came to life. Savannah answered all our questions(I constantly had questions for her over our 1 year and 7 month engagement) from the minute we signed our contract. She was flexible in accommodating any special requests we had for our big day and never said no to our ideas. The venue also comes with a day off wedding coordinator, ours was Kendra! Wow, she was with us the entire day making sure we were happy and keeping everything on schedule. Aside from checking in on us all day and running the day’s schedule, she also assisted the groom, photographer and I with our wedding photos. She helped call out our family’s names getting everyone needed to the photo area and she brought us a box with appetizers to make sure we ate before the groom and I took our one on one photos. She also came with us on our Photoshoot to make sure my dress looked perfect! I felt so pampered and taken care of. These are just some highlights, but overall, Kendra was with us every step of the way from our first phone call with her a few months before the wedding to the day! Other things about the venue I appreciated was the extensive getting ready space and how staff had it all setup and decorated when we arrived, the venue’s amazing food, and the overall piece of everything. It was extremely affordable for such a beautiful venue! Many of our wedding guests told us it was the most beautiful venue they had ever seen, and we couldn’t agree more! Thank you Toiyabe and staff for helping us plan the wedding of our dreams!!

Soda Springs, CA
  • Up to 120 guests
  • Select services
  • Outdoor

Rent this historic mountain lodge to privately host your closest friends and family for a weekend at Rainbow Lodge in the Sierra Mountains (up to 120 event guests). There are 30 on-site rooms that can accommodate up to 60 overnight guests. The lodge combines historic charm, rustic accents, and modern amenities with one of the best locations in Northern California. The Rainbow Lodge is located in the Sierra Mountains within Tahoe National Forest along Old Lincoln Highway 40. The setting offers pristine mountain views & the entire lodge is full of charm & character while retaining the allure of the past! Guest rooms are unique & common areas are decorated with historical pieces. Today, the lodge provides a beautiful getaway for romantic celebrations of love. The outdoor lawn offers a stunning backdrop for couples to hold their ceremony with views of the river and mountains.

Rainbow Lodge is an amazing venue! When we booked Rainbow Lodge we got the property from Friday afternoon to Sunday afternoon and 60 of our guests got to stay with us. This allowed for more time with friends and family during our wedding weekend and our guests had the best time. The lodge has a wondering swimming hole, beautiful lawn and wonderfully kept grounds. The Lodge itself has so much character and getting the whole space for the weekend was so much fun! Emily made the booking process so easy and was there to answer all our questions while we planned our wedding weekend. We were able to host both the rehearsal and wedding at the Lodge. I recommend Rainbow Lodge to anyone, it was such a special venue!

Sparks Water Bar 

5.0

Sparks, NV
  • Up to 180 guests
  • Select services
  • Indoor
  • Starts at $5,300

Sparks Water Bar is a gorgeous new restaurant and the Nevada Home of the Wet Woody®. Opened in August 2021, Sparks Water Bar comprises two floors of the waterfront at Sparks Marina. The second floor features private rooms with floor-to-ceiling windows with western-facing views of the Sierra Nevada mountains and Reno’s sparkling lights. The beautifully appointed event space has access to a wrap-around Juliette balcony and a small private deck in the larger room. Sunsets at Sparks Water Bar are truly stunning, creating a one-of-a-kind location for special events in Northern Nevada. Sparks Water Bar’s menu features all of the favorites from Gar Woods and Riva Grill up at the lake, and of course, the world-famous Wet Woody®.

The Sparks Water Bar was the perfect place for our wedding reception. You get to choose your menu (from pre-selected menu options), napkin colors, and floor plan to name a few. Everyone is so professional and helpful from the moment you start planning. The food was so delicious! The view of Reno/Sparks is beautiful and we highly recommend having your event in the evening where you can see the sunset and you have up until the restaurant bar closes. Because it was our wedding, we got to use the elevator rather than walk through the restaurant and it was helpful for our family members who were unable to walk up a flight of stairs. Any food allergies or preferences are accommodated to the best of their ability. Their focus is making sure you and your guests have a good time. To Samantha, Heather, and the staff working our event on May 29th 2022 we cannot thank you enough for making our reception so fun and memorable from start to finish.
