Lake Tahoe is Best for Brides Who…
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, Lake Tahoe has it all! The mountains and the lake make the perfect party backdrop for any bride. From spa sessions, to shredding snow, to kayaking and lake living, you’ll never be bored in Lake Tahoe.

- Love the outdoors – With skiing, kayaking, boating, hiking and more, the outdoorsy bride will be in her element in Lake Tahoe.
- Enjoy a cold craft beer – Some of the best breweries in California are located in Lake Tahoe! We love South of North Brewing Company the most!
- Want to be pampered - Lake Tahoe has great spots for fancy dinners, boozie brunches and spa services, all with gorgeous views of the famous Sierra Nevada Mountains.
