Emerald Bay is one of the most beautiful locations in the world and is the reason why it's our most popular venue. This unique location is a spectacular wedding site. Your wedding ceremony will take place on a bluff at Emerald Bay towering approximately 300 feet over Fannett Island and the tri-colored bay water, offering breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Tahoe.

Emerald Bay is surrounded by the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, a majestic view that encloses the bay and shelters it from the wind and weather. Combine this with the fact that Emerald Bay's overlook is a secluded wedding location that affords you and your wedding guests privacy for your memorable occasion, inevitably making the bluff over the bay the perfect outdoor ceremony venue. What's more, with such scenic beauty, the backdrop for your wedding photos will be unsurpassed.

Groups are restricted by the California Department of Forestry to a maximum of 25 people.
