Perfect mountain venue
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.
