Planning a multi-day Indian wedding is challenging, but planning a destination Indian wedding in Tahoe came with an incredible number of benefits and challenges. Somehow, the wedding and event coordination team at Palisades managed to take on 200 out-of-town guests and 3 days of events and turn it into the best weekend of our lives! From the attentive guest experience for our friends and family staying on-site to curating a brand new Indian fusion menu for our mountaintop Sangeet, Mercedes and her team went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Our guests are still talking about how incredible our locations were (Sangeet at High Camp, Ceremony in front of Olympic Valley Lodge and Reception inside the lodge) and I still can't believe how lucky we were to find our dream venue. Every single person we worked with went out of their way to work with us and our families and did it with the most positive, professional and proactive mentality that made us feel so comfortable and excited. Choose Palisades and I guarantee you'll have the best possible guest experience and scenery for your big day!

We used our own DJ bu the venue accommodated all of our needs. Lyric was the best! She had great communication through our the whole wedding planning and the day of, she was there for my every need! This venue is a 5 minute drive from the casinos where you can continue your party. They have a shuttle service you can book to shuttle everyone to the casinos as well! Lastly, our wedding pictures were GORGEOUS. I had several with the beautiful Tahoe sunset in the back drop and several with the vibrant green Forrest behind us.
