Top 20 Lake Tahoe Wedding Venues and more. This is a full resource guide to Tahoe wedding venues.
After photographing weddings in the Lake Tahoe area since 2007. I have photographed at almost every wedding and event center in and around the Tahoe basin. I remember when I got married up in Lake Tahoe years ago. It was a tough decision on picking out a location. What was even tougher was trying to find an online list or guide of the top wedding venues that are located in and around the Tahoe area. It’s hard since most of the online venue guides you find are filtered on what you can see since venues have to pay to get on those list. In turn there are many amazing venues that are left off those lists since they don’t want to pay for an ad. I wanted to make this list for couple’s to find almost every wedding venues that Tahoe has to offer. Hopefully this list makes finding the right venue for you a little easier. Please reach out to any of these venues to find out availability, rates and to set up a site visit.
