    Great value for the area

    We planned our wedding from out of state and we wanted a venue we could still customize to match "us" that would make planning from a distance a little easier. We were VERY happy with The Lodge. We contacted/visited a decent amount of venues in the area and the staff at the Lodge were the friendliest, most accommodating venue in the Tahoe area. It's an expensive area to get married in but the views were perfect, the food was AMAZING, the staff before the wedding and during the wedding were awesome! Jeff and Lisa worked hard to make our experience amazing and still be able to have the little things most couples do, like tastings and tours, when we...

    I highly recommend having your wedding at The Lodge. I can not rave how delicious and juicy their food was. Usually when I go to weddings the chicken is dry and the beef is over cooked. This is not the case with The Lodge! The food came out exactly perfect and our guest are still complimenting how tasty the cocktail food and dinner was.

    The wedding coordinator, Tracy was also AMAZING to work with. She was so organized and made sure everything was perfect from the moment I walked into the beautiful tent to the very end of the night. She made sure that we felt comfortable and took care of everything for us making sure we...

    Amazing September Wedding

    From start to finish our experience with The Lodge was absolutely amazing and their professionalism and value for money was there. We had about 120 guests and the venue was a perfect fit for our party. Every added detail enhanced our guests experience and overall it was such a smooth day with the help of the on-site coordinator Jeff Jacks.

    THE BEST VENUE EVER! I will never regret one dime I spent at the Lodge for my wedding. It was impeccable- from the staff, the views, the food- everything was absolute perfection. I would recommend this venue time and time again to anyone I know. I've never received so many compliments on this gorgeous venue after any wedding I've attended.
    Truckee is a beautiful, untapped resource of a town and I highly suggest if you want the wedding of your dreams then book it!

    Elegant venue, attentive staff with stellar customer service, and excellent food!

    We hosted our wedding ceremony and reception at The Lodge in August 2017, and we could not recommend this venue more. From start to finish, we were so appreciative of Jeff and the rest of the Lodge staff. Specifically, Jeff made himself available to answer any questions we had promptly, and provided guidance whenever we needed it (despite having 20+ events in the two weeks leading up to our big day!). All of the staff we met and worked with were superb ambassadors of the Lodge and Tahoe Donner Association.

    We felt strongly about getting the most value for our investment, and from our experience, the...

    This review will be two parts: wedding and food

    We held our wedding over the Labor Day 2016 weekend at the Lodge. We had our day saved almost a year and they were super flexible and easy to work with throughout the entire planning process. The Lodge wedding packages are pretty all inclusive. The only thing they didn't handle food-wise was the cake. Their service during the dress rehearsal and on the day of the wedding was impeccable. Their catering manager, Jeff Jack, is top notch. It was a beautiful venue and an amazing experience. We totally lucked out finding this place!

    Now let's talk food - there's a reason this place is one of...

    This venue is absolutely beautiful, and Jeff Jack is amazing at what he does. We couldn't have imagined a more perfect version of our wedding day. The grounds and the tent are beautiful and the food was delicious (we are still getting compliments on the Filet and Halibut). It was a stress free, unforgettable experience.

    Jeff Jack is the man in charge and he does a wonderful job! He's quick to answer questions, coordinate with quirky requests and ensured that the reception was perfect! I recommend The Lodge without reservation!

    The Lodge helped us host the most perfect wedding. We feel so lucky we were able to find this gem of a venue! Jeff and his team at The Lodge provided excellent customer service throughout the planning and our event. Over nine months, our emails and calls received quick responses, any site visits were easily accommodated and there was not one request from us that The Lodge staff wasn't able to make happen. From vendor recommendations to food tastings to décor drop-offs, they made everything so easy with great communication and customer service. And, all of the food for our rehearsal dinner and wedding was DELICIOUS.

    The ceremony space is absolutely gorgeous, as is the cocktail hour area....

    My husband and I had a wonderful experience with Jeff at The Lodge Pub & Restaurant. He was very helpful throughout the planning process. Jeff answered our questions and worked with us and our other vendors for a perfectly smooth night - not a thing went wrong! Jeff was flexible and helped us to materialize our vision. The bare bones tent is gorgeous- lined with chiffon and white lights. We brought in some décor of our own but not much was needed. It was very elegant. Our wedding was in October and the tent was plenty warm with the heaters provided by The Lodge. Since the noise ordinances require the tent to be vacated at 10, we were thankful...

    Tracy was very helpful at The Lodge. She took time to meet with us and respond to our myriad email and phone messages. She was so patient with us and made us feel so special on our special day. We really loved working with her. Our only suggestion was that we wished we had asked to have the champagne glasses passed out not too long after the dinner. We felt like there was a little lull where it would have been perfect to do toasts, but people didn't have their glasses yet. The location here is beautiful! The food is AMAZING! This venue really turns out to make gorgeous pictures!

    Our wedding experience at the Lodge at Tahoe Donner:
    1) Lack of communication: After being told by the lodge event coordinator that our questions sent in emails would be addressed within 1-2 days, it took an average of a week to get responses.
    The only statement we received after paying for our wedding, was a credit card receipt, nothing itemized. When we went back the next day we asked for an itemized receipt. It was in this discussion that, the event coordinator realized that the homeowner discount that we were entitled to had not been figured into our bill. It took a week to get an accurate receipt.
    2) False information: We were told multiple times...
