About
Northstar California Resort offers a majestic setting for your wedding celebration. Located between the charming town of Truckee and the north shore of Lake Tahoe, this mountain paradise is the perfect backdrop for an unforgettable alpine wedding. With exceptional service, breathtaking views of the Pacific Crest, and a stunning lodge, Northstar California Resort promises a one-of-a-kind experience.
We offer two unique venues for your celebration of love: Zephyr Lodge and Wild Pine.
Zephyr Lodge (June – September)
Perched at 8,000 feet and accessible via gondola cabins and open-air chairlifts, Zephyr Lodge is an iconic mountaintop venue that combines rustic charm with modern elegance. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light, while tall ceilings, exposed ductwork, wooden beams, and statement chandeliers add industrial-chic character. The expansive deck—complete with ample seating and panoramic views of the Sierra Nevada—is perfect for cocktail hour or stargazing. Inside, up to 200 guests can enjoy signature family-style dishes in the spacious dining room, creating an elevated and cozy reception experience.
Wild Pine & The Overlook (May – October)
For a more intimate affair of up to 80 guests, say “I do” in the heart of Northstar Village. Begin your day at The Overlook, a beautiful outdoor ceremony site framed by towering pine trees and sweeping views of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Nestled in the vibrant alpine village, this serene setting creates a picture-perfect backdrop for your vows.
After the ceremony, guests can enjoy a festive cocktail hour complete with hors d’oeuvres, bocce ball, and views of the bustling village. Continue the celebration at Wild Pine, a warm and stylish reception venue designed for dining, dancing, and making memories with your closest loved ones. With cozy mountain charm, refined cuisine, and a welcoming ambiance, it’s the perfect space for an unforgettable evening.
Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or a grand destination celebration, Northstar California Resort combines natural beauty, modern amenities, and effortless charm—making it one of Lake Tahoe’s premier wedding venues.
To ensure your day is seamless, our venue packages include everything you need: tables, chairs, linens, flatware, stemware, and china. Gondola transportation is provided to whisk your guests up the mountain for an unforgettable celebration. Make the most of your wedding weekend by exploring all that the resort has to offer—from outdoor adventures to luxurious relaxation.

Northstar is a beautiful location for your wedding, with lovely views of the Sierras. And the staff will ensure that you have a perfect wedding day! I love performing at Northstar at Tahoe!
I worked with a couple for their wedding at Northstar and it was amazing! There are so many beautfiul backdrops to work with and the staff were amazing. The location was great for the guests and bridal party - all of them stayed at the resort and had an amazing time at the wedding and reception without the worry of driving anywhere after.
