South Lake Tahoe Travel Forum

Hi! We've decided that we want to run away and get married, just the two of us, in Tahoe. But we don't even know if north or south is better. It sounds like South is more of a tourist spot. Which is bad, but we are looking for a November date at a romantic place outdoors, where we can have a great ceremony with just the two of us

. It could be indoor, at the right place. I've visited Tahoe a few times, but obviously never to get married, so I am drawing a blank...

Can you help?

A co-worker recommended Harrah's as a place with really nice suites. We are only going to be in Tahoe for 2 days before our travels take us elsewhere! And Harrah's sounds appealing as I am sure they have spa's and restaurants at their location...

Thanks for any help submitted!

Good Luck. Sounds like you're setting out on a great life adventure. Best wishes and congratulations on your upcoming wedding. Here are some web sites you might like to check out before making your decisions. Hope they help.

Congratulations! Tahoe is one of the most spectacular places on the planet and a great choice for a romantic wedding. Of course, in November the weather may determine your choice of a spot. Over the years I've seen people get married in some great places--at the top of Heavenly at the lodge, on the beach at Edgewood Gold Course (clubhouse is open year round and a great place for a romantic meal afterward), on the trail to Eagle Falls above Emerald Bay, and out in the middle of the lake on a chartered boat. I prefer the north side because of all the crowds on the south side, and I recommend the Hyatt in Incline Village (www.laketahoehyatt.com). It is absolutely beautiful, and although it has a casino it is a very small part of the entire hotel, so that it keeps the Mountain ambiance with elegance and romance and without all the glitz and neon of the South Tahoe casinos. It has much to offer in terms of beautiful locations throughout for a wedding. Its Lone Eagle Grill is a wonderful restaurant for celebrating after. My suggestion would be to stay at the Hyatt and if the weather is nice, get married on the beach at Sand Harbor--the right side where all the spectacular boulders are (use google images to see how beautiful it is if you havn't been there) Good luck and congratulations!
