Top South Lake Tahoe Wedding Venues.
After photographing weddings in the South Lake Tahoe area since 2007. I have photographed at almost every wedding and event center in and around the south shore of Tahoe. I remember when I got married up in Tahoe years ago. It was a tough decision on picking out a location. What was even tougher was trying to find an online list of the top wedding venues that are located in the south Tahoe area. It’s hard since most of the venue and event center list you find online are filtered since the locations 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 pay for an ad on those online resources. I wanted to make this list for couple’s to find almost every wedding venue that South Lake Tahoe has to offer. I’ve also included a couple west shore Tahoe venues on this list since they’re really close to the south shore. Hopefully this list makes finding the right venue for you a little easier.
