Planning a multi-day Indian wedding is challenging, but planning a destination Indian wedding in Tahoe came with an incredible number of benefits and challenges. Somehow, the wedding and event coordination team at Palisades managed to take on 200 out-of-town guests and 3 days of events and turn it into the best weekend of our lives! From the attentive guest experience for our friends and family staying on-site to curating a brand new Indian fusion menu for our mountaintop Sangeet, Mercedes and her team went above and beyond to make everything perfect. Our guests are still talking about how incredible our locations were (Sangeet at High Camp, Ceremony in front of Olympic Valley Lodge and Reception inside the lodge) and I still can't believe how lucky we were to find our dream venue. Every single person we worked with went out of their way to work with us and our families and did it with the most positive, professional and proactive mentality that made us feel so comfortable and excited. Choose Palisades and I guarantee you'll have the best possible guest experience and scenery for your big day!

Where to begin!! We got married here on 7/23/22 and had the absolute BEST experience. My mom and I looked at six venues in early summer 2021 before booking Palisades Tahoe High Camp (previously Squaw Valley). From the initial tour, Jenna did an amazing job of answering all my questions and setting appropriate expectations for the wedding day with backup plans should the weather not cooperate for High Camp. Eventually we transitioned over to Mercedes as our venue coordinator and we couldn’t be more thrilled about our experience working with her. She made everything as seamless as possible and was willing to accommodate some unique touches we requested (hanging our Michigan flag at high camp, serving our favorite coffee, etc.). Everyone raved about the food (we chose the buffet for timeline purposes and it turned out beautifully) and we couldn’t be happier with the service provided across the board—from the tram operators to the servers and bartenders. They were super accommodating for allergies as well (I’m gluten free and my sister is dairy free). We also booked our rehearsal dinner and welcome party at Base Camp and had a great experience. It was the perfect space for hosting that type of event! Overall, we had our dream wedding and that wouldn’t have been possible without this venue!!

As an out of state (from Kentucky) Mother of the Groom who had never been to the Tahoe area, I felt a little overwhelmed trying to ensure our guests had quality lodging close together as well as trying to plan and host a rehearsal dinner. I cannot emphasize enough how helpful and professional this group proved to be. Each and every person I talked with was happy to answer my many questions and help me work out all the details of our event. The lodging was wonderful! All of our guests seemed beyond satisfied with their accommodations. The rehearsal dinner at Rocker was fabulous from the décor, to the food, to the service. What a fabulous spot for a wedding celebration!

We had an incredible experience with Palisades Tahoe! Jenna was our first touchpoint and she is incredibly knowledgeable & patient. She had all the answers to our tedious questions. We reached out to every venue in North lake and we landed on Palisades due to the customer service and value. We were then introduced to Shannon who is absolutely wonderful. Shannon is sharp and really helped us build the wedding of our dreams in the final hours. We were planned to get married at High Camp but the smoke from the Caldor Fires had other plans for us and we had to change venues down in the village at Olympic Inn, the morning of. Shannon was so comforting throughout the day and the switch was seamless.

The food was also delicious! Everyone at the wedding was raving about the food and desserts :)

We highly recommend Palisades Tahoe for the view, value, and customer service!

I LOVE Squaw Valley. Communicating with Jenna has been so easy and convenient. We toured Squaw at the end of last month, September and we were able to easily pick any day we want. There has been no time constraint or worry. We meeting with Jenna she throughly showed us around and my fiance and I fell in love immediately. She even had a folder prepared for us that was specifically geared towards what we were looking for. Our payments for the Venue are set up in 4 easy installments, for someone who normally stresses about money all the time, It will be easy to make sure we have enough at time of payment. I can't wait to see how beautifully our wedding turns out because thanks to Squaw Valley, the majority of the work is already done for us, at an affordable cost. When a venue says they are expensive because they provide a lot at a beautiful area (which is always suppose to save you money in the long run) This one truly hits the mark and doesn't lie.

Katie was very professional and nice to work with. We received so many compliments from our guests that the garden at OVL was such a beautiful place. Our goal was to having a wedding in a place where we could hang out with our guests all weekend and the Village provided the perfect place for this, since bars and stores were open, no one had to leave the area. It was exactly what we wanted.

So far they have been great to work with and we can't wait to have our rehearsal event at the Olympic House next month!

Our wedding at Squaw Valley was everything we could have wanted and more! We got married at High Camp on August 17th, 2013, and our reception was on the KT deck. We had 105 guests and everyone raved that they had a great time!

We are avid skiers at Squaw Valley and this resort has meant so much to us for a great while now, but the support Squaw gave us during the wedding process and at the wedding makes us forever fans!

From the beginning they made the planning process enjoyable. The tours and the personalized sit down taste testing with the chef and my parents were so special. All of the emails exchanged and the openness to respond to my phone calls were so appreciated! We are especially appreciative of Sarah Winters, planning manager at Squaw, who worked hard to make everything come together seemlessly!

The food was delicious and everyone raved! Our DJ and other venders were able to work with Squaw easily. And most of all, the availability to all of the venue locations was a dream!

Most of our guests stayed at The Village at Squaw Valley, and some guests stayed in cabins nearby. The two families and friends were able to walk to each other’s hotel rooms and spend time with each other in the suites and local shops. The rooms and accommodations were perfect! Everyone was blown away by the views and felt so comfortable in the rooms. This detail could have easily been overlooked, but it ended up being more impactful to the weekend than we had thought and we were so pleased!

Our budget was tight, and we were able to incorporate do-it-yourself details (florwers and cup cakes) to make the wedding affordable. Having Squaw do everything from venue set-up to catering food and beverage made it easier on us too.

We really couldn't say enough about all of the details! Thank you Squaw!!

We were just married 10/1/21 at Olympic Valley Lodge and it was everything we envisioned! The venue itself is so stunning you really don’t need to do much to create the perfect wedding setting. We worked with Jenna, Caitlin and Tyler who all delivered high quality service! The ceremony lawn and views are insane and OLV is just meant to host a cozy wedding space. The location of the venue to the village is so convenient for lodging and makes it super easy to make a whole weekend out of the wedding with things to do around the area. If you love being in the mountains, I would recommend this venue to you!

We had our 85 guest wedding on 8/24/19. The ceremony was on the lawn by Cushing Pond, cocktail hour on the deck and reception inside the KT Base Bar. We were so happy with our choice to go with Squaw and the location. The spot with the mountains rising behind you was gorgeous and it was easy for guests to get around given close proximity from ceremony to reception. Squaw was very good to work with. We were given a Facilities Planner, Mercedes, who provided excellent service and such a big help - especially since I didn't have a hired wedding planner. Overall we felt that Squaw was a really great "one stop shop" since your contract covers food and beverage, the space, tables, chairs, linens, etc. You have options to customize if you want - but you can keep it simple and go with what they've got! The food Squaw provided was impressive and exceeded expectations. We had their pastry chef make us a small cutting cake and individual desserts and they were so yummy. The Tahoe shaped sugar cookies were just perfect. Thank you Squaw for a making our dream wedding come true!
