What is the weather like in Lake Tahoe in July?

Expect sunny, dry days in the high 70s to low 80s, with the sun feeling stronger at Tahoe’s 6,000+ ft elevation, so sunscreen and sunglasses are a must. Evenings cool off quickly, often into the 40s or 50s once the sun goes down, so bring a wrap or light jacket for the night festivities.

Are the ceremony and reception in the same location?

Yes! The wedding ceremony and reception will be at Everline Resort. You may see the address listed as 400 Squaw Creek Rd, Olympic Valley, CA 96146 OR 400 Resort Road, Olympic Valley, CA 96146. They will both bring you to the same location.

When should I arrive at the ceremony?

Please arrive and be seated by 3:45pm.

Is the ceremony or reception outside?

The ceremony and cocktail hour will be outside on grass.  Ladies, please consider wearing block heels, wedges or flats. The reception will be tented on a turf surface, enclosed and heated if necessary. 

Where should I park for the wedding ceremony and reception?

For wedding day guests not staying at Everline Resort, please park in the self-parking area. Be sure to obtain a $10 parking validation from the front desk before departing.

Can we bring our kids?

We love your little ones, but our wedding is for adults only.

If you need childcare during the weekend, we recommend Resort Sitters — a trusted local service in Tahoe: https://www.resortsitters.com/tahoe-babysitters/

Should I rent a car?

Yes, we highly recommend it! You will need a rental car to explore all that Lake Tahoe has to offer! For guests staying at Everline Resort, overnight self-parking is $35/day with unlimited in and out privileges. Please note that Uber/Lyft rides are NOT widely available for local travel or airport service.

What should I wear?

The Welcome Reception is Cocktail attire. For men, we suggest slacks and a collared shirt (tie not required). Cocktail dresses, skirts, or dressy slacks outfits are great options for women. The Welcome Party will take place outdoors with patio heaters.  Tahoe nights get beautifully brisk so a light jacket or shawl is encouraged for comfort.

Our wedding day is Black Tie. For men, dark suits or tuxedos are both great options.  For women, floor-length gowns are encouraged. Please keep in mind that all wedding day events will take place on outdoor lawn areas with a tented dinner reception, with heaters if necessary. We recommend choosing attire and shoes that are both elegant and comfortable, including a jacket or wrap for when the evening temperature drops.

What is the difference between Palisades and Squaw Valley?

It's confusing! Palisades Tahoe is the new name of the ski mountain that used to be called Squaw Valley. The mountain and area are still often referred to as Squaw Valley, and some local spots still use the name Squaw. To make things even more confusing, the official name of the valley is "Olympic Valley" so you may see that on Google Maps. If you see Palisades, Squaw Valley, or Olympic Valley you're in roughly the right place!

Do I need to prepare for the altitude in Lake Tahoe?

Lake Tahoe sits at over 6,200 feet above sea level, and some guests may notice the effects of the higher elevation. To help you feel your best throughout the weekend, we recommend staying hydrated, wearing sunscreen, and taking it easy if you need time to adjust. The mountain air is beautiful but can be surprisingly dehydrating, and alcohol may affect you more quickly than usual. We can't wait to celebrate with you in this incredible setting!

Is Uber a good way to get around?

Uber is not as readily available as you might find in other cities. We would recommend a rental car for the weekend, and if you would like to arrange rides, we recommend making an advanced reservation. We recommend: Tahoe Elite, Tahoe Thunder Taxi, Tahoe Sierra Transportation.
