Emerald Bay Bluffside Celebration
In close proximity to the exquisite cascades of Eagle Falls, the view from the precipice of Emerald Bay delivers one of the most beautiful sights in the world, and for this reason it tends to be a highly desirable spot for those wanting to walk the aisle of matrimony.
Possessing similar characteristics of its rival Logan Shoals, this spectacular site is an extraordinary location, allowing for an extraordinary experience. Your wedding ceremony will take place on a bluff at Emerald Bay towering approximately 500 feet over Fannette 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 with unimaginable imagery. Combine this with the fact that Emerald Bay’s overlook is an unperturbed wedding location that will provide you and your guests with a relaxed setting on your memorable occasion, and you’ll inevitably conclude that the bluff over the bay is a perfect outdoor ceremony venue. What’s more, with such scenic beauty, the backdrop for your ceremony photos will be unsurpassed.
National Natural Landmark
Because Emerald Bay is designated a National Natural Landmark and is an attraction for many sightseers, parking is extremely limited. Therefore, it is highly recommended to acquire transportation services that will provide transport to and from the ceremony site for you and your guests. This is especially true during the peak touristic season and is essential (May through October) if you and your guests are unable to arrive to the site in one vehicle (Logan Shoals typically experiences fewer visitors). Stretch limos that seat up to 7 people or a shuttle bus with seating for up to 18 people can be arranged (see Shuttle Services below).
(Due to restrictions set forth by California State Parks, groups are limited to a maximum of 20 people. Also, because it is a public area, setting up chairs is not permitted.)
