Why Choose Lake Tahoe for Your Wedding? 

When you consider everything Lake Tahoe has to offer, it’s no surprise why dozens of happy couples choose to say their vows here each year. To start, you’ll have plenty of options for a stunning backdrop — a sparkling blue lake, breathtaking mountain peaks or lush forest clearings. Beyond that, Lake Tahoe is one of the most versatile wedding destinations you’re likely to find, offering incredible experiences all year round. A summer wedding right on the beach? Easy. A winter wonderland ceremony with snow dusting the ground? We’ve got that, too. Spring and fall bring their own unique wonders — so no matter what date you’re saving for your special day, you can be sure it will be a beautiful one here in Lake Tahoe. 

Lake Tahoe Wedding Venues 

You’ll also be able to choose from a variety of unique venue options, such as luxury resorts, rustic lodges, chapels and more, to ensure that your wedding day looks exactly how you want it to, down to the last detail.  

Olympic Valley Stables 

A historic stable site nestled in the heart of Olympic Valley, this breathtaking venue is perfect for a rustic, outdoor ceremony. You’ll hardly need to decorate — your surroundings here are that naturally beautiful. In addition to incredible views, Olympic Valley Stables offers a wide variety of thoughtful amenities, such as barn spaces with built-in DJs or bride and groom lounges, to take your celebration to the next level. 

North Tahoe Beach

For a more DIY approach, North Tahoe Beach is a great spot for a gorgeous outdoor ceremony. This one is perfect for more intimate gatherings, so you can invite your closest friends and family to watch you tie the knot right at the edge of Lake Tahoe’s crystal blue waters. 

The Chateau at Incline Village

Classic Lake Tahoe charm meets modern elegance at The Chateau at Incline Village. With stunning views of the lake and mountains, soaring timber ceilings, expansive stone fireplaces and spacious covered decks, it promises to leave a memorable impression on you and your guests. 

For the Saying “I Do” Part: Officiants & Clergy in Lake Tahoe 

The ceremony itself is one of the most important parts of a wedding, so you want to make sure you have the right person guiding it. Consider hiring a Lake Tahoe professional to officiate. The region’s many services offer a host of experienced officiants from many religious and secular backgrounds who can deliver the beautiful ceremony you deserve — you know, the one that will have everyone reaching for a tissue.

Legal Requirements & Marriage Licenses 

In the whirlwind of planning a celebration, the legal aspects of getting married might not be at the top of your list of considerations. However, it’s important to have a general idea of what you will need to do to prepare to be legally married. In the cases of both California and Nevada, you can obtain a marriage license in any county and be subsequently married anywhere in the state — so we recommend visiting your local county clerk’s office to obtain your license. You’ll need one witness, as well as both of your photo IDs, when you visit the county clerk’s office. If you are planning your ceremony outdoors or on publicly owned land, be sure to check permit requirements for the specific location you are hoping for.  

Wedding Florists in Lake Tahoe 

What’s a wedding without some gorgeous florals? In Lake Tahoe, natural beauty abounds — and for many florists, it provides inspiration to create some truly incredible pieces. Whether you’re hoping for elegant and understated, eclectic and colorful, natural and earthy or anything in between, you can be sure that a Lake Tahoe florist will provide the right decor to make your wedding truly breathtaking. Besides flowers, many local florists offer supplementary event decorating, so you can elevate your celebration with balloon arches, greenery displays and more.

When Is the Best Time to Get Married in Lake Tahoe? 

The short answer to this question is, of course, any time! Depending on what your dream wedding looks like, Lake Tahoe has something unique to offer no matter the season.  

For some, spring might be the best — blooming landscapes and fewer crowds make spring an ideal time to get married, and the mild temperatures and fresh greenery create a beautiful backdrop for your ceremony. And since there will likely still be snow on the ground, spring offers some incredible photo opportunities. 

If you’re dreaming of a warm-weather celebration with lakeside vibes, summer is the perfect time. Expect ideal conditions for an outdoor ceremony, with plenty of sunshine and daylight lasting long into the evening. 

Around here, we call fall Lake Tahoe’s best-kept secret. With stunning fall foliage and mild weather, fall is a wonderful season for a wedding. Plus, it’s often the off-season for many venues, so you might enjoy some savings during this time. 

For those seeking a cozy, snowy wedding, winter in Lake Tahoe is magical. Picture-perfect mountain settings, romantic lodges and snow-covered landscapes create the ultimate winter wonderland. 

Discover the Beauty of a True Tahoe Wedding 

Lake Tahoe offers everything you need to make your wedding seamless, romantic and unforgettable including a variety of local wedding planners that can help you make the magic happen. No matter the time of year, you’ll find that each day in Lake Tahoe offers the perfect backdrop for a truly special celebration, and your guests will find plenty to do and enjoy in the days before and after the big day — from incredible dining options to outdoor adventures they’ll never forget.

Not sure where to start? Reach out to our Lake Tahoe Wedding Professionals, who will ensure that every detail of the day is ironed out — leaving you to focus on what really matters. Before you make your way to Lake Tahoe, be sure to check out our Know Before You Go guide, to make sure you’re up to date on weather advisories, local alerts and more.

Getting Back to Nature in North Lake Tahoe – Safely https://laketahoetravel.com/blog/backtonature-safely/ Thu, 02 Jul 2020 20:34:37 +0000 https://www.gotahoenorth.com/?p=66917 With reopening underway, there are many questions about how visitors can best enjoy North Lake Tahoe while keeping their health […]

With reopening underway, there are many questions about how visitors can best enjoy North Lake Tahoe while keeping their health and well-being, as well as that of the community’s, top-of-mind.

The North Lake Tahoe destination has worked with local businesses and county officials to answer these questions through a video series and Know Before You Go guide. These will help get you up-to-speed on what to know when you’re ready to plan your next adventure to our mountain paradise.

Adhere to CA and NV Statewide Safety Guidelines

With lodging properties, retail vendors, drinking and dining establishments reopened, there are plenty of opportunities for you to enjoy Tahoe’s friendly culture relatively up close. Because we want to be able to keep these establishments open, it is important that all of us do our part to limit the possibility of infection—which is more likely to take place in enclosed spaces.

Wearing a mask or cloth facial covering is one of the easiest ways to limit the transmission of airborne and droplet contaminants likely to contain the virus – and it is required by current mandates in California and Nevada. They help you and others to keep invisible biological materials to yourself by placing a barrier between you and particles in the open air. While outside, you may remove your mask at your discretion, but should only do so in areas where you are relatively isolated. That means if you’re hiking or cycling in relative seclusion, you can pull your mask down… but if you’re shopping at one of our outdoor artisanal markets, the mask should be covering your mouth and nose.

These measures are most successful when everybody in a given area is wearing a mask. You wear a mask to protect others, and they wear one to protect you. By doing this in accordance with California and Nevada state mandates, you potentially remove one avenue for infection.

As you navigate Tahoe during your visit, you’ll find that the vendors, servers and bartenders—for example—all wear masks for your protection as they work with you. We ask you to return the favor!

Be Prepared for Changes in Lodging Service

With lodging properties reopened in Tahoe, you can plan for a long weekend or mid-week stay during your Tahoe adventure. As you do, you’ll find that lodging proprietors throughout the region have taken a number of important steps to make sure visitors can enjoy their properties safely so that they can focus on fun, relaxation and rejuvenation.

While you’re on-site, we ask that you continue to wear facial coverings in shared areas, and observe physical distancing guidelines described in the signage provided throughout the resort and lodging properties to protect yourself, vendors and other guests.

Rest easy knowing that, at each of the lodging properties throughout the region, they’ve taken care to ensure that shared public spaces are regularly cleaned and disinfected—and that on-site dining experiences have been revised so seating arrangements are appropriately spread out to minimize contact between groups.

To further limit the potential of viral transmission, some lodging properties are temporarily suspending regular room service and limiting equipment rentals. Make sure to check lodging vendor websites to understand what may or may not be available for borrowing, and consider bringing these items yourself so that you’re able to have the experience you anticipate without putting yourself or others at risk.

Dine, Drink and Shop in Safety and Style

If you’ve been missing craft beer, gourmet eats, and Tahoe made goods, now is a wonderful time to support those local businesses and luxuries you’ve come to enjoy over the years.

For our foodies out there, dining options remain plentiful—but with some smart changes made to ensure your safety. Many dining establishments will continue to offer curbside pick-up service throughout the duration of the pandemic. Others, who offer on-site dining, will offer socially distant dining, with clearly demarcated spaces to illustrate the distance at which parties should sit to limit potential exposure to one another.

As mentioned earlier, retailers are now open in Tahoe. Some are offering outdoor markets where you can purchase craft goods made with the spirit of Tahoe in mind by our locals. Others will allow indoor shopping experiences and ask that you wear a mask when patronizing their store as well as practice social distancing and foot-traffic directions as you peruse their aisles.  And consider touchless payment options as you make your purchases. 

Your adherence to safety standards and continued patronage of Tahoe establishments will help to keep our community healthy, vibrant and Tahoe beautiful.

Get Back to Beautiful Nature

North Lake Tahoe has a vast array of hiking trails, cycling paths, open water, and bluebird skies that could keep any explorer occupied for days on end. And as you prepare for winter adventures in North Lake Tahoe, check out our Winter Resort Messaging Video and our Preparing for the 20/21 Winter Ski Season blog.

As is always the case, we want you to have a safe and enjoyable experience as you explore the great outdoors in our region. We invite you to take guided tours with experienced guides who will help you to choose routes that limit potential hazards and keep you out of Tahoe’s hospitals—which still need to focus primarily on the people that live here. If you aren’t utilizing the expertise of a tour guide, we ask that you observe all safety precautions outlined on signage throughout the region, and advise you bring sunscreen, a snack, plenty of water, a cell phone, and a partner so that you can manage your safety and well-being independently.

While outdoors, you’re asked to practice discretion where facial coverings and social distancing are concerned. Please avoid busy areas by choosing a different location to explore when and if you observe large groups of people, and always wear your mask in any circumstance where you might be closer than six feet away from another person (such as when you are walking past them on one of our gorgeous hiking trails).

Finally, help keep Tahoe gorgeous and blue by packing in and packing out. It’s a part of Tahoe culture to leave no trace as you explore the region, so make sure to appropriately dispose of any trash or recyclables as you conclude your visit, so that Tahoe remains vibrant, clean and enjoyable for generations to come.

Thank You

The team at North Lake Tahoe is endlessly grateful to its visitors and locals who are doing their part to keep our community healthy, vibrant and safe. We look forward to having you here with us year after year and are especially grateful for your patronage as we navigate an unprecedented time.

There are plenty of ways to enjoy our beautiful mountain paradise. From epic panoramic views to a breathtaking lakeside, and everything in between, there are many reasons North Lake Tahoe is a special place.

One of those reasons? North Lake Tahoe offers a plethora of Human-Powered Sports that get visitors out of their comfort zones and into a world of excitement all year-round. Here, you don’t have to rely on anything to get your dose of outdoor recreation; simply grab a paddleboard, a pair of snowshoes, or a kayak and hit Tahoe’s mountain and lakeside yourself!

If you’re up for exploration off the beaten path and ready to break a sweat, check out our guide to North Lake Tahoe’s Human-Powered Sports. It’s sure to get your heart racing.

Stand-Up Paddleboarding

Stand-up paddleboarding is one of North Lake Tahoe's human-powered sports.

Few sights are as majestic as the massive geological formations beneath North Lake Tahoe’s undulating surface—and it’s a visual that you can only really get up close atop a stand-up paddleboard.

Stand-up paddleboarding is an undertaking which requires patience, a strong sense of balance and a little bit of body-wide strength. For their efforts, stand-up paddleboarders are rewarded with one of the most serene experiences that the region has to offer in terms of Human-Powered Sports. You’ll coast along Tahoe’s epic waterscape and feel the peaceful “blue mind” effect—that sense of serenity we feel when we’re next to water—all while enjoying the sounds of Tahoe’s waves lapping against the sandy shore. Best of all? Thanks to the fact that Tahoe is sunny throughout the majority of the year, visitors can enjoy this particular activity throughout the spring, summer, and fall.

If you’re just getting started, it’s a good idea to rent a paddleboard as you find your footing. Vendors like Waterman’s Landing in Carnelian Bay and Tahoe Paddle & Oar in Kings Beach allow you to do that, so you can learn to paddle with poise before committing to a board of your own.

Ready to paddleboard? Learn how here:

Kayaking

Kayaking is an exciting rush at North Lake Tahoe, home of human-powered sports.

Kayaking, canoeing and river rafting can take you to points in Tahoe you’ve never seen before. Photo courtesy of Chris Bartkowski.

Taking to the lake’s surface in a kayak, canoe or on river raft offers visitors the opportunity to explore North Lake Tahoe’s waterscapes with greater freedom than swimming or even stand-up paddleboarding. Suspended atop the lake on a watercraft powered by your own strength (and that of your friends—as it’s a best safety practice to travel with a buddy), you’ll be able to travel to various locations that many Tahoe visitors haven’t seen and can only imagine.

Before you head out, make sure to check out Sierra Business Council’s Tahoe Water Trail Map, which can guide you through the region’s waterways and provide you with critical safety advisories as well as other tips to make sure your watery journey is a successful one. While you’re at it, don’t miss your chance to check out Wild Society—a kayak and paddleboard vendor whose clear-bottomed watercraft fleet makes for a breathtaking experience not easily found elsewhere.

Make a splash on your kayaking adventure with our how-to guide:

Mountain, Road & Fat Tire Biking

Biking offers lots of freedom to cyclists who want to enjoy human-powered sports in North Lake Tahoe.

Hit the road—or the mountainside—all year-round in cyclist-friendly North Lake Tahoe!

Mountain, road & fat tire biking each grant visitors the opportunity to get around Tahoe’s multifaceted terrain while getting plenty of aerobic exercise and minimizing their carbon footprint. The region offers several miles of paved bikeways for exploration so you can cruise around North Lake Tahoe on two wheels—including the forthcoming bike path between Incline Village and Sand Harbor, set to make its debut in spring 2019.

Other trails require mountain bikes to experience the region’s sometimes rugged terrain, like the famed 14-mile stretch of the Flume Trail and Northstar California’s massive bike park.

In North Lake Tahoe, biking is a year-round affair – unique to the region is the availability “fat tire” snow biking during the winter season. This special type of Tahoe bicycling relies on the increased surface area of an extra-large tire—essentially the bike’s version of a snowshoe—to carry cyclists over powdery terrain for a biking experience that is as fun as it is offbeat.

Both private vendors and resorts offer a variety of options for bike rentals throughout the year—and even if you have a bike of your own, it’s always a good idea to stop in at these shops to make sure you’ve got the latest gear, are up to date on all safety considerations, and good to go.

Now’s your chance to zoom through Tahoe’s unique terrain—here’s how:

Hiking & Snowshoeing

Snowshoeing and hiking are two human-powered sports that keep visitors lightly engaged in North Lake Tahoe.

Year-round, you can hike the expanse of North Lake Tahoe’s trails—and shifting weather means exciting, new dynamics with every season. Photo courtesy of Chris Bartkowski.

In a place with as much beautiful flora, fauna, geological structures and stunning views like North Lake Tahoe, you might just be remiss if you didn’t take advantage of the region’s seemingly endless stretch of hiking paths—the dynamics of which change with the seasons, meaning that there’s always something exciting and new to enjoy.

Leaf peepers seeking a peek at the golden hues of the aspen groves will love hiking Tahoe’s trails in the fall, while wintertime adventurers will find excitement trekking Tahoe’s powdery wintertime landscape on a pair of handy snowshoes—with the readily available help of local vendors and tour guides, like those at the Tahoe Adventure Company. When a day of hiking is done, adventurers can enjoy a little aprés at any of the stops along North Lake Tahoe’s famed Ale Trail.

With miles and miles of hiking to be done and much to be considered in the way of safety and preparation, eager travelers are wise to check out our guide to hiking the region, to adventure with trusted companions and, most of all, to have fun!

Ready to stroll through Tahoe’s peaks and valleys? Learn more here:

With so many ways to get into the great outdoors to experience the unique adrenaline rush associated with Tahoe’s Human-Powered Sports, you’ll need more than one day to experience it all. Why not plan a longer excursion and book your stay?

Tahoe City Golf Course

Alongside adventure in North Lake Tahoe, you’ll often find that the region is steeped both in natural—and cultural—history. One such example of this can be found at the Tahoe City Golf Course. Designed and established by female golfing legend Isabella May “Quennie” Dunn-Webb in 1918, the course has been a locally beloved treasure known for its classic, glamorous feel. Famously, the course has been host to silver screen legends and musicians like Bing Crosby, Bob Hope and others—who are rumored to have enjoyed exciting, high-stakes games of golf when they weren’t patronizing the Cal Neva Resort & Casino.

As of May 2018, Tahoe City Golf Course is celebrating its centennial anniversary, highlighting the course’s unique history and offering visitors the chance to experience all the glamor with special packages.

Old Brockway Golf Course

Another historical site is the Old Brockway golf course is perfect for history-buffs who also love a lakeside experience. Like the Tahoe City Golf Course, Brockway was a popular haunt for famous figures like Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin and President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Founded in 1920, this historical site is a must-visit on any North Lake Tahoe golf trip for its classic beauty and stories alone.

For Serene Scenery

North Lake Tahoe’s beautiful courses offer a getaway from the mundane. Photo corutesy of the Incline Village Championship Golf Course.

Though all of North Lake Tahoe’s golf courses are beautiful works of art, some are even further distinguished by the seemingly perfect mixture of location and design. One course that is widely praised as a “masterpiece”—bringing a trifecta of perfect features into play–is the Incline Village Championship Golf Course.

Home to two distinctive fields of play, the Championship Golf Course offers varying challenges for players of any skill level or budget. The course provides an exciting mental and physical challenge, emphasizing both accuracy and distance on what its designer, Robert Trent Jones Sr., described as the “ideal mountain layout with views you will never forget.”

Celebrated as one of the “Top 10 Best Courses You Can Play in Nevada” by Golfweek Magazine, the course offers visitors exciting play and The Grille at the Chateau, where you can taste locally-sourced Tahoe flavors.

In North Lake Tahoe, it’s easy to have a full day of sport—enriched by the region’s epic natural beauty and the plethora of amenities.
