About

Perched atop the picturesque Feather River and surrounded by the spectacular Sierra Nevada mountain range is an idyllic wedding venue, Nakoma Resort.

Just an hour north of Lake Tahoe, this sublime locale provides a multi-faceted setting for any dream wedding. Nakoma eliminates the need to decide between having a lush golf course, breathtaking mountains, towering trees, serene water or a work of art as the backdrop…because it offers it all.

An expansive terrace and grassy knoll with striking views set the stage for a stunning ceremony adjacent to Nakoma’s Clubhouse, an architectural masterpiece designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Inside, the spectacular Wigwam Room offers an unparalleled reception and rehearsal dining experience, plus room for even the grandest of celebrations. For some pre-wedding pampering, the Spa at Nakoma features a sauna, steam room, heated indoor pool and many relaxing services before or on the big day, while the championship golf course is the perfect place for everyone to unwind.

With the newly unveiled Altitude, a transformative recreation center including outdoor pool and jacuzzi (both operated throughout the year), climbing gym, theater, kid's center, game room, top-of-the-line fitness facility and group exercise classes, Nakoma sets itself apart in the region as an immersive mountain destination.

Just moments from the ceremony, relaxing accommodations for your friends and family can be found at the new Lodge at Nakoma, which features a Frank Lloyd Wright-inspired mountain modern aesthetic and 42 spacious guestrooms.

Banquet and planning services are available on-site so your special day can be tailored to meet all of your dreams. Embark on your lifetime of exquisite memories at Nakoma Resort by booking your date today. Call 877-462-5662 or email Weddings@NakomaResort.com

Nature, relaxing, beautiful, magical

Nakoma was such a great wedding venue. It’s a beautiful, calm place in nature. It’s like a secret gem. Great views. Great photos. Some great golf too. We had to reschedule our venue a week before, and Nakoma made it happen. The staff is wonderful. The venue was perfect for our wedding. Everyone had a wonderful time and enjoyed our wedding.

Best Lost Sierra Wedding Venue

My wife and I got married at Nakoma Resort on 12/6/21 and had the most amazing experience. Everyone has told us it was their favorite wedding ever! Nakoma made that happen!

Everything was so amazing, from a family cocktail meet in great the night before at Altitude, to the ceremony with the most amazing view, the reception in the most amazing frank lloyd wright room with daycare for the kids during. The staff was incredible at handling all of us checking in at the same time, setting up, and prep.

The food was truly amazing! Wedding food is often bland but this was anything but. Everyone had a 5-Star dining experience. The Soup was superb and the short rib was the best I've ever had. Everyone could not stop talking about it! It even made it into the speeches.

Nakoma is a hidden gem in the lost sierra with modern-day amenities and beauty throughout. They made our wedding a true fairy tale and blew away all of our expectations. We highly recommend a Nakoma Wedding!!

Wedding of our dreams!

Nakoma was our dream venue and we are so thrilled with how our special day turned out. Planning a wedding during a pandemic is not for the faint of heart, but Jorge and his team worked closely with us on all of the details to ensure we would all be on the same page for the big day. I cannot express how impressed we were on the day of our wedding. How friendly and attentive the staff was, how yummy the food and drinks were, etc. We knew we had picked the venue we had dreamed of but the execution of everything the day of was the ‘cherry on top’! Jorge, thank you for being so incredible. Your customer service is top notch and we will always recommend Nakoma to friends and family for their future events.

Oct 17,2020 wedding

Our wedding was absolutely perfect! It went off without a single flaw and we had the most incredible time. 2020 has been tough for many, but Nakoma’s staff truly went out of their way on our special day and made it perfect.

We got married there this September and there is truly no place else I would have gotten married or a single thing I would have changed. It is on the more expensive side, however for the service, and the amazing views and location you get is well worth it. All of our guests commented on how stunning the venue is and how great the food was. There was minimal stress leading up to the wedding because the wedding coordinator and planner are extremely helpful. Nakoma staff was very friendly and outgoing. It is also a plus that there is a Lodge for guests to stay right onsite. The scenery is comparable if not better than anything you would get in Tahoe. Definitely worth checking out!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
