Lake Tahoe West Shore Cafe Weddings
The West Shore Cafe and Inn sits on the very edge of Lake Tahoe’s west shore. Homewood Resort is immediately across the street. Street address aside, that is to say nothing of the views from this venue! The dining room opens up just feet from the water’s edge. And the pier extends right out over the lake, even when the lake level is generally low. Lake Tahoe West Shore Cafe weddings put you right on the water in one of the most stunning places to say your vows.
Here, everything you could need for your wedding celebration is in one place. Indoor and outdoor spaces can both be used to accommodate up to 200 guests during the summer. During the winter, that number is 100. The catering services at the West Shore Cafe receive top marks. Although limited, the 6 guest rooms and suites boast lake views that are among the best in the entire Lake Tahoe area.

The west shore of Lake Tahoe goes into the shade before any other location. That means you need to adjust your normal sunset time. It also means that your photographer will need to know how to help you schedule photos. A Lake Tahoe photographer will have the necessary experience to advise you on this. Moreover, there are some specific equipment considerations that are worth noting. After all, exposures vary considerably between the shaded and sunny areas on the lake. If you want photos that show off the lake, your photographer will need to have a variety of effective and proven tactics.
