    As a wedding planner... I LOVE PALISADES!

    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!)

    The wedding and experience of my dreams

    Planning a multi-day Indian wedding is challenging, but planning a destination Indian wedding in Tahoe came with an incredible number of benefits and challenges. Somehow, the wedding and event coordination team at Palisades managed to take on 200 out-of-town guests and 3 days of events and turn it into the best weekend of our lives! From the attentive guest experience for our friends and family staying on-site to curating a brand new Indian fusion menu for our mountaintop Sangeet, Mercedes and her team went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Our guests are still talking about how incredible our locations were (Sangeet at High Camp, Ceremony in front of Olympic Valley Lodge and Reception inside the lodge) and I still can't believe how lucky we were to find our dream venue. Every single person we worked with went out of their way to work with us and our families and did it with the most positive, professional and proactive mentality that made us feel so comfortable and excited. Choose Palisades and I guarantee you'll have the best possible guest experience and scenery for your big day!

A nonrefundable deposit of 25% of total contracted revenue is required to confirm your date, along with a signed contract. A second deposit of another 25% payment will be due 270 days out and a third deposit of the remaining 50% will be due 180 days out. Therefore, the contracted event revenue is paid in full 6 months prior to the wedding date. The final guest count and final estimated event balance will be due 14 days prior to the wedding date.
When reserving your wedding at Palisades Tahoe, you will be working with an Event Manager to guide you on your journey to the perfect day. The Event Manager will help you finalize details that Palisades Tahoe services. However, you are required to hire a professional wedding planner (at least a day of/month out coordinator). The hired wedding planner will help you with your design, vendor organization, setup of personal décor and details, ceremony walk & run-through, orchestrating the event timeline, and more. Please contact the Sales Manager to understand the difference between a venue event manager vs a wedding planner/coordinator.
A Food and Beverage Minimum is the least amount of money that you are required to spend in a combination of food and beverage details. The minimum spend is before applicable service charge, taxes, and fees. All of your desired food and beverage menu selections and details will contribute towards the food and beverage minimum spend requirement.
No outside food or beverages can be brought into the function event space by you or any of your guests. We have an excellent Chef team and Pastry Chef who can create incredible menus, custom menus, and wedding cakes or dessert options for your event.
There are no dedicated or complimentary get ready rooms. The couple will get ready in their hotel room, or someone’s room that is already planned for their accommodations. We often see the wedding parties and/or parents get a larger suite for their lodging accommodation and then allow for it as the get ready room.
Yes! Most couples include additional events and activities, such as Farewell Brunches, Rehearsal Dinners, Welcome Events, and Late Night Parties! We offer pre and post wedding event options within Village at Palisades Tahoe for maximum convenience and seamless planning. Contracted wedding couples will be given discounted rental fees and reduced catering spends. Our culinary team has a separate menu for these added special events so that your wedding menu will shine on its own.
Early June - September. We offer tiered pricing to accommodate the two off seasons which are Spring and Fall.
