Question

When should I RSVP by?

Answer

We kindly ask that you RSVP by two months before the wedding, which would be around September 7th. Because our venue has very limited capacity, timely RSVPs help us ensure that all family and friends who received invitations can attend.

Question

Is the ceremony indoor or outdoor?

Answer

Both! Weather permitting, we’ll have an outdoor ceremony and an indoor reception. November evenings can be chilly, so we recommend bringing a coat or a stylish layer like faux fur to stay warm and comfortable.

Will there be assigned seating or open seating?

Answer

For the ceremony, seating will be open, except for the traditional reserved seats for immediate family. For the reception, everyone will have an assigned seat to make sure we can comfortably accommodate all our guests.

Question

Can I bring my own alcohol or drinks?

Answer

For the safety and enjoyment of all guests, only alcohol provided by the venue’s bartender may be consumed on the property. Please note that Valhalla Tahoe staff reserve the right to remove anyone engaging in disruptive, intoxicated, or abusive behavior. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation!

Question

Are gifts expected?

Question

Can I take photos during the ceremony?

Answer

We kindly ask that you put your phones and cameras away during the ceremony. We’ve hired the amazing Elsa Boscarello to capture every special moment, and we can’t wait to share her photos with you!
