Emerald Bay - $395

attraction to Emerald Bay is immense, and couples who experience the
thrill of marrying on the bluff are in awe of the remarkable beauty that
poses in the background as the setting for their wedding day. The
picturesque scene is the panoramic view of the 72 mile circumferential
shoreline of Lake Tahoe, viewed from a bluff towering 300 feet over the
water. The surrounding grandiose Sierra Nevada Mountains further
accentuate the natural beauty of the lake and the neighboring area of
Emerald Bay.
Providing
such a natural setting of exquisiteness with considerable romantic
appeal, it is not a mystery why this private and secluded area of
Emerald Bay is a top choice for scores of brides and grooms who want to
consummate their wedding vows.
An Emerald Bay wedding is an experience that will create a lifelong memory that the wedding couple will forever treasure, a lasting impression of a very special day in their lives.

Regan Beach - $395
Adjacent
to the lake, Regan Beach provides a park-like setting that's slightly
elevated and overlooks the water. Regan Beach has comparable grandeur to that of Emerald Bay. This
wedding venue is easily accessible because it is centrally located in the heart of South
Lake Tahoe.
The
main advantage Regan Beach has in comparison to Emerald Bay is the number of guests that
can be accommodated. Whereas Emerald Bay is geared more towards small, simple weddings of 25
or fewer guests, Regan Beach can accommodate up to 150. Another advantage is that chairs or
an arch can be erected at this location.
Your ceremony at this wedding venue can be quite simple or as formal as you like. As an option, Regan Beach weddings can take place on the beach in the sand or on a nearby platform overlooking the lake.

Tahoe Paradise Park - $475
If seclusion is what you're after on your wedding day, Tahoe Paradise Park provides a private area that is located on the outskirts of Lake Tahoe. Though Tahoe Paradise is a public park, a reserved section in the forested area is where weddings take place. With the beauty of Lake Baron and the splendor of the Sierras in the background, spectacular wedding photos are attained.
Tahoe Paradise Park offers a setting that rivals most any ceremony site in Tahoe. Similar to Regan Beach, the main advantages of this wedding location is the accommodation of a large number of guests and that chairs can be provided.
Ceremonies can be performed either under the gazebo or in front of the 1,000 year old cedar tree. The cost for the permit that leases this area is $150.
