“I’m not even kidding when I say this is the perfect wedding venue! My vision truly came to life here. Hanford Gardens is actually the most beautiful wedding venue I’ve ever seen! You really don’t even need much decor because it’s just perfect on its own! It took me months of searching to find and venue and when I stumbled across them on my deep dive search I knew as soon as I saw it, it was the one! We didn’t even tour because I was so confident, especially with how nice and helpful they were with any information I needed. We had the best wedding ever. They think of every little detail. The getting ready space stunning. Reception area literally like a dream! Even the bathrooms are beautiful. If you’re looking for a beautiful outdoor wedding space for a reasonable price, where you can pick and choose your own vendors, and with amazing helpful owners and staff look no further! I could not recommend this venue enough! The end time might be a little early for some people but we had a little after party in the hotel sutter at the copper room and it was the perfect end to the perfect day! Sutter creek is the cutest little town! So many cute little hotels and stores. Definitely get married here!!!”

“Paradise Park Lake Tahoe was truly the perfect place to get married. From the moment our guests arrived, everyone was completely blown away by the beauty of the property. Between the lake, beachfront, towering trees, and incredible wildlife, it felt like we had found our own little slice of Tahoe. We even got to see eagles and coyotes throughout the weekend! It was such a beautiful and intimate backdrop for our wedding and made the entire day feel incredibly special. One of the things I loved most about Paradise Park was that we got all of the charm and natural beauty of Lake Tahoe without the crowds or the crazy prices. It felt private, peaceful, and incredibly unique. There are so many beautiful spots throughout the property, and the scenery truly made our wedding photos and created an atmosphere that I don’t think we could have replicated anywhere else. The venue itself also had everything we needed to make the weekend easy and comfortable — a setup/party tent, chairs, tables, an indoor party room, cooking station, clean bathrooms, and plenty of space for our guests to enjoy themselves. Having all of those amenities while still feeling completely immersed in nature was such a great combination. And I have to give a huge shoutout to Scott! He was such a joy to work with from beginning to end. He made reserving and coordinating the space incredibly simple and stress-free, both throughout the planning process and during our wedding weekend. Having someone so kind, responsive, and easygoing to work with made such a difference, especially during an already busy and chaotic time. Paradise Park truly made my wedding. Getting to marry my husband in such a beautiful, peaceful, and special place is something I will cherish forever. This is such a unique gem, and I genuinely cannot wait to come back for our anniversaries and hopefully host more special events here in the future. If you’re looking for a beautiful, intimate, one-of-a-kind Tahoe venue, I cannot recommend Paradise Park enough. It is truly something special! ️”

“We are from Las Vegas and wanted a semi-destination wedding, so we decided to explore Tahoe and booked flights to tour venues. From the moment we arrived at Palisades, we immediately fell in love. We loved everything about the property: the village, accommodations, location, activities, and, most importantly, the breathtaking views from our selected venue, High Camp. We toured several other venues, but none came close to what Palisades had to offer. We initially selected the Olympic Valley Event Center as our venue and later upgraded to High Camp during the wedding planning process. One of our favorite aspects of choosing Palisades was that both venues were reserved for us as backup options in case of inclement weather. This gave us peace of mind knowing we did not have to worry about another wedding taking place at Palisades on the same day. We had a long engagement, and as soon as wedding dates for 2026 became available, we secured our date and placed our deposit. After booking the venue, we also decided to host our rehearsal dinner on-site, which was a wonderful addition to our wedding weekend. As we got closer to our wedding date, we had the pleasure of working with Skye, and she was fantastic. The venue does not assign a dedicated coordinator until about six months before your wedding, and prior to being connected with Skye, communication was somewhat inconsistent. We often had to follow up multiple times to confirm details and add certain services for our wedding day. There were a few communication challenges throughout the planning process. One significant issue was that we were not informed until six months before our wedding that the in-house baker was no longer available and that we would need to secure a baker ourselves. We later learned that the venue had been aware of this change for several months before notifying us, which resulted in additional stress as we had to quickly find a baker from out of town. This was not something we had anticipated so close to our wedding date. We also recommend carefully counting any rented flatware before delivering it to the venue and afterwards. We did not do this and ended up being short approximately 50 utensils, which resulted in an additional charge from the flatware rental company. We are unsure whether this was due to the venue, or a miscount on the rental company end, but it is something future couples should keep in mind. Despite these challenges, the food and service on our wedding day were exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was attentive and professional throughout the entire event. We selected the lobster rolls as one of our appetizers, and they were a huge hit with our guests. We even had guests waiting near the service station hoping to grab another one! We received countless compliments about our menu selections, and the bar line was consistently well-managed with minimal wait times. Overall, despite a few planning hiccups, we highly recommend Palisades as a wedding venue. Their team knows what they are doing, the location is breathtaking, and the experience they provide is truly special. Our wedding day was everything we hoped it would be, and we are so grateful we chose Palisades to celebrate such an important moment in our lives.”

“If you are looking for the perfect wedding venue, look no further! The Ranch at Stoney Creek is MAGICAL. From the moment we first visited, my now husband and I knew that this was the only place in the world we wanted to get married. The venue is absolutely stunning, and it is clear that countless hours of thought, hard work, and love have been put into every single detail of venue to make it perfect. The venue is large and yet still feels cozy, elegant but still natural. The staff at the Ranch made planning our wedding a breeze, and I so thoroughly enjoyed working with Suzanne, Michelle, Leon, and the rest of the incredible behind the scenes folks who worked so hard to make our wedding a once-in-a-lifetime event. They worked with us every step of the way to make sure that our wedding was exactly how we envisioned it, and they far exceeded our expectations. From the incredibly bountiful floral arrangements and seemingly infinite decor options to the comfortable rooms and the delicious food (plus the campsites, the no lights out time, the three ceremony sites to choose from, the beautiful patio for welcome drinks...the list goes on!), the Ranch truly has it all. We felt right at home at there, and our guests did too. The staff was very accommodating and on top of things, and they go the extra mile to make sure that everybody has a wonderful time. I am so grateful that I was able to get married at the Ranch at Stoney Creek, and that these lovely people are a part of the story.”

“Linda Davies at the Shadow Ridge Ranch was a joy to work with. She was always available to answer my questions and help when needed. Her property is beautiful and large allowing for any size wedding. Different options for pricing are available depending on the size of the wedding and your needs. You can rent out any of the cabins for the week of the wedding for your bridal party and/or family members. Couples are allowed to stay in one of the cabins the night of their wedding as well. The bar service is phenomenal and the artist for the bar sign did a wonderful job. We would recommend this venue to anyone looking to get married outside under towering pine trees in classic gold country. The property has that old west vibe and the reception area can be decorated any way you please to enhance the theme of your event. They also do other events besides weddings. We had the best wedding we could have hoped for.”

“I got married at the Timbers (Tahoe Mountain Club) last August and it was truly the wedding of my dreams. My husband and I wanted our wedding to be at an elegant mountain venue, since the mountains mean so much to us, and this venue was exactly that. The mountains golf course backdrop of the ceremony was absolutely breathtaking; there were ample spots "in the woods" where we were able to capture amazing first look and golden hour photos; and the patio (featuring the fireplace water feature) was stunning both during the cocktail hour and at night (especially with the fireplace and market lights on). The inside of the building was stunning as well, requiring minimal decorations for the reception, and bringing to life our hope for an 'elegant mountain' wedding vibe. Moreover, the staff were incredibly friendly, communicative, and accommodating. The food and drinks were delicious, and I loved the layout of the venue (with the dancefloor in a slightly separate room from the dinner, which made the dancing feel slightly more private and much more comfortable). The venue was fairly pricey, but to us it was worth every penny, as our dream wedding absolutely came to life. Thank you for giving us this gift!”

She was also absolutely amazing. Coordinating little details the weeks leading up to the wedding, And most importantly She kept everything in check the day of. Everyone made the planning process so easy and comfortable. The venue is gorgeous, and the food is beyond amazing. The set up was more than perfect.
