“Tahoe Church was the perfect backdrop for our wedding day. Juliana and her team were kind and attentive throughout the entire planning process, answering every question we had and making us feel supported at every step. We chose to get married in their amphitheater, and the natural beauty of the space exceeded what we imagined—it was the ideal setting for couples who want to celebrate surrounded by nature. On our wedding day, Juliana and her crew kept everything running on schedule and made sure all the details flowed smoothly so we could focus on what mattered.

“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.”

“Our wedding at the Ranch at Stoney Creek was nothing short of AMAZING! Our guests had the best time, and LOVED the venue (as did we). The venue is spectacularly beautiful, and the team there were so helpful with organizing EVERYTHING! They provided us with beautiful decor and floral arrangements, an amazing wedding planner, and recommendations for catering and wine vendors in the area. We were even able to have some guests camp on site in beautiful "glamping" tents, which was absolutely awesome (and what we wanted since were were looking for guests to have camping options). Additionally, we were able to stay with our family, onsite, in their beautiful guest-rooms, while other guests were able to stay at adorable Air BnB's and Hotels in the area. Everyone that attended our wedding said it was the "Best wedding they had been to!" Our wedding was everything we wanted and more thank you to the team at The Ranch at Stoney Creek!”

“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!”

“Our experience working with Alibi Ale Works was so beautiful. Everything ended up working out so easily, I'm sure with a lot of work on Alibi's end. We loved working with Sophia especially - her attention to detail, her soothing nature, and her genuine kindness made this experience amazing. Along with that, the location was perfect and the food was wonderful. One of the things that made us decide on Alibi vs competitors is that basically everything we needed except the photographer was included (and they even offered up some photo contacts we could use). We got the ceremony and reception in the space, they provided food and drink, they moved furniture around to make us a dance floor, and Sophia even acted as our DJ (kind of - we made a playlist and she hit play at the right times lol). The pricing for the prime location in Incline Village was a huge part of the reason we chose Alibi, but the good vibes and the comforting ambience really put it over the top. All our family and friends complimented us on the venue, and we couldn't have been any happier with it. Everything was perfect, and if we could do it again at Alibi, we would. Thank you to Sophia and the whole team!!”
