The Perfect Mountain Venue
On the wedding day, the space was even more stunning than we remembered. Our guests could not stop talking about the views and how special the setting felt. There is something really calming and grounding about being surrounded by the mountains, and it made the entire day feel meaningful and unforgettable.
One of the things we loved most about Olympic Valley Stables is how versatile the space is. It feels like a blank canvas in the best way, allowing you to make the day completely your own. Mich and Sarah were kind, welcoming, and patient. We were able to bring our vision to life while still letting the natural beauty of the venue shine through. We are so grateful we were able to get married here and cannot imagine a better place to have celebrated our wedding.
Gorgeous Venue
Magical wedding venue
Getting married at Olympic Stables felt like hitting the jackpot!
After our original venue unexpectedly fell through just weeks before the wedding, we were incredibly fortunate to find this hidden gem. From the moment we stepped onto the land, we felt something sacred and grounding—unlike any other venue near Lake Tahoe. Olympic Stables isn’t just a beautiful space, it’s a place with deep soul and history.
Mich, the owner, was a true blessing. He went above and beyond to help us create a celebration that genuinely reflected who we are. He was kind, communicative, flexible, and truly cared—not just about the logistics, but about the heart of our day. Mich gave us the freedom to be creative and intentional, and the support to bring everything together seamlessly. It didn’t feel like we were just renting a venue—it felt like we were part of something bigger, something meaningful.
If you're looking for a venue that’s not only stunning but also soulful… if you want to create a celebration that’s personal, expressive, and grounded in beauty and connection—Olympic Stables is the place. Mich and his team truly honor the land, the people, and the love that gathers here.
Highly recommend!
