VENUE GUIDE

Chalet View Lodge Wedding Photography

What if you could escape to a beautiful forest in the mountains and get married at your own private resort? One hour north of Truckee, Chalet View Lodge offers a unique experience where you and your guests can have the entire resort to yourselves. With accommodations for up to 150 guests, you’ll have plenty of space to relax and celebrate. An inclusive wedding package means you will have your own dedicated planner to coordinate all the details and logistics, ensuring an amazing wedding weekend.

Chalet View Lodge is your private forest retreat 

Most engaged couples want to have a fun and stress-free wedding that they will never forget. Located 51 miles north of Truckee, Chalet View Lodge is a forested venue that offers a ten-acre private resort and an inclusive wedding package with complete planning and design services. In addition to weekend bookings, they also offer discounted mid-week wedding packages.

Booking out the resort allows 150 guests to celebrate with you at the pool, golf course, or Lakes Basin trails, rivers, and streams. Having your wedding guests join you for the weekend lets you catch up and spend more quality time together, instead of just during a short reception on the wedding day. 

At Chalet View Lodge weddings, I feel like I am photographing a secluded forest retreat where everyone is having an amazing time. The expansive lawn, where most couples host their ceremony, is beautifully lit by the afternoon sun. The outdoor reception are under the pine trees is an idyllic place to spend a warm evening. From the quaint fishing pond to the poolside terrace, there are so many unique features of this resort to incorporate into your fun outdoor weekend.

Having photographed weddings at countless venues in the Lake Tahoe area, I am impressed by Chalet View Lodge every time I shoot there. The resident planners are experts in their field, and go out of their way to make each couple’s wedding a big success. From furniture to decorations, the ceremony and reception sites are artistically appointed. The forest setting is beautiful, and the curfew is late. If you are planning a destination wedding in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, you should definitely check out this venue.
