We truly couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding day. We were able to stay at Shadows for the long weekend - which allowed us to set up and DIY most our wedding. Our family and closest friends got to stay with us on the property for the weekend, which made it feel so much more special - and made us feel like we had so much time to take our wedding weekend in with everyone (rather that just one day). The venue was so spacious, which made the event feel large and free - rather than everyone being on top of each other. We used the following spaces for each part of our wedding: - Backyard grass and overlook - Ceremony - Front yard grass - Dinner & Speaches - Barn - Desserts, Snacks, Seating / Lounge Area, Guest Book - Barn Deck - Dancefloor & DJ We worked with Scena as our day-of coordinator and she was THE BEST! Helped so much with timeline, setup, coordination, rehersal, clean up - EVERYTHING! Truly could not say enough good things about her.

My daughter Christina McGirt was recently married to her fiancé Alex Hall on your boat on March 30th. We just wanted to say how wonderful our experience was. Rachel, who was our coordinator that helped us with all the planning and setting it up, was absolutely fantastic. She was so easy to work with and happily answered any questions that we had. She truly made the experience so enjoyable and fun. We also wanted to say that Heather and Monica, who helped with the reception were also great! They were right there to help us with anything that we or our guests needed. Rachel, Heather and Monica are truly such a great representation for the Delta King. Thank you to all for making my daughter and her husband’s day perfect! Kenny and Sherry Galas

Union Brick By Wedgewood Weddings was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. The communication with the staff, especially Keilah, Savanna, and Nathalie, was superb - they were always willing to help and very approachable. The venue itself had an elegant, spacious, and calm aura that was great value for the cost. The food prepared by Jeremy and his crew was excellent, and the open bar was overflowing, providing great service throughout the night. The DJs kept the dance floor lively, and the photobooth was a fun addition. The security was also courteous, ensuring our special day went off without a hitch.

From the moment we toured Olympic Valley Stables, it just felt right. The setting, the openness, and the mountain backdrop immediately stood out, and we both knew this was where we wanted to get married. It is an incredibly beautiful venue and truly the perfect location for an outdoor mountain wedding. It had everything we were looking for in a venue and more. On the wedding day, the space was even more stunning than we remembered. Our guests could not stop talking about the views and how special the setting felt. There is something really calming and grounding about being surrounded by the mountains, and it made the entire day feel meaningful and unforgettable. One of the things we loved most about Olympic Valley Stables is how versatile the space is. It feels like a blank canvas in the best way, allowing you to make the day completely your own. Mich and Sarah were kind, welcoming, and patient. We were able to bring our vision to life while still letting the natural beauty of the venue shine through. We are so grateful we were able to get married here and cannot imagine a better place to have celebrated our wedding.

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!)
