“We got married at Sugar Bowl's Lake Mary Venue in August 2024. It was truly magical! First, the venue itself is stunning. The lake is owned by the resort so it's very private and intimate. Many of our guests had never been to the Tahoe area and we're blown away. Kim was super communicative and helpful from Day 1 - we used her list of preferred vendors and everyone was worked with was excellent. The food was delicious, the staff were professional and courteous and the whole day ran so smoothly. We were able to use the Belt Room Bar for our after party, which was the perfect way to top it off. We would 1000% do it all over again - it was the perfect place to get married.”

“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!)”
