“Tahoe Forest Church was the perfect wedding venue for our special day! From the start, their communication was swift, precise, and incredibly informative, making the planning process seamless. The venue itself offered epic scenery and a truly customizable space that allowed us to make it our own. They were also incredibly accommodating, moving trailers around and allowing us to bring in our own outside vendors. The affordable cost for the stunning views and spacious environment was unbeatable.

“Union Brick By Wedgewood Weddings was an excellent choice for our wedding venue. The communication with the staff, especially Keilah, Savanna, and Nathalie, was superb - they were always willing to help and very approachable. The venue itself had an elegant, spacious, and calm aura that was great value for the cost. The food prepared by Jeremy and his crew was excellent, and the open bar was overflowing, providing great service throughout the night. The DJs kept the dance floor lively, and the photobooth was a fun addition. The security was also courteous, ensuring our special day went off without a hitch.

“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.”

“From the moment we toured Olympic Valley Stables, it just felt right. The setting, the openness, and the mountain backdrop immediately stood out, and we both knew this was where we wanted to get married. It is an incredibly beautiful venue and truly the perfect location for an outdoor mountain wedding. It had everything we were looking for in a venue and more. On the wedding day, the space was even more stunning than we remembered. Our guests could not stop talking about the views and how special the setting felt. There is something really calming and grounding about being surrounded by the mountains, and it made the entire day feel meaningful and unforgettable. One of the things we loved most about Olympic Valley Stables is how versatile the space is. It feels like a blank canvas in the best way, allowing you to make the day completely your own. Mich and Sarah were kind, welcoming, and patient. We were able to bring our vision to life while still letting the natural beauty of the venue shine through. We are so grateful we were able to get married here and cannot imagine a better place to have celebrated our wedding.”

“My fiancé and I had the most incredible experience touring this venue! From the moment we arrived, we were blown away by how stunning the space is—pictures truly don’t do it justice. Every corner feels like it’s been pulled from a fairytale. What made it even more special was meeting Sabrina, the new manager. She is warm, passionate, and incredibly detail-oriented. You can instantly feel how much she cares—not just about the venue, but about your vision and experience. She walked us through everything with so much enthusiasm and clarity that we left feeling completely confident and inspired. The new owners, Sabrina and Chase are not just maintaining the beauty of the venue—they're investing in thoughtful, meaningful upgrades that make the space even more magical. From landscaping to layout improvements, it’s clear they want every inch of the venue to feel perfect for their couples.

“We truly couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue for our wedding day. We were able to stay at Shadows for the long weekend - which allowed us to set up and DIY most our wedding. Our family and closest friends got to stay with us on the property for the weekend, which made it feel so much more special - and made us feel like we had so much time to take our wedding weekend in with everyone (rather that just one day). The venue was so spacious, which made the event feel large and free - rather than everyone being on top of each other. We used the following spaces for each part of our wedding: - Backyard grass and overlook - Ceremony - Front yard grass - Dinner & Speaches - Barn - Desserts, Snacks, Seating / Lounge Area, Guest Book - Barn Deck - Dancefloor & DJ We worked with Scena as our day-of coordinator and she was THE BEST! Helped so much with timeline, setup, coordination, rehersal, clean up - EVERYTHING! Truly could not say enough good things about her.”

Palm Springs offers dramatic desert venues with mountain backdrops and striking midcentury modern architecture that photographs beautifully.

How Much Do Wedding Venues in California Cost?

Wedding venues in California typically run between $9,600 and $11,700 which aligns nicely with the national range of $6,500-$12,000. This represents about 18% of your total wedding budget.
