The Tahoe Ridge Resort 400 Ridge Club Drive • Stateline • Nevada 89449

Tahoe Ridge Resort in Stateline, Nevada, offers all-inclusive wedding packages, so many of your vendors come bundled in. Every package includes wedding coordination, cross-back reception chairs, specialty linens and napkins, and a designated dance floor. Depending on the package, you'll also get a non-denominational officiant, hair and makeup, florals, 1–5 hours of professional photography, and 5 hours of DJ and MC service with wall uplighting. What you'll pay for separately: your food and drinks, which are priced per person, plus a 21% service charge, 7.1% Nevada sales tax and the gratuity for hair and makeup. Pick your package by guest count, add your menu, and you'll see the full picture.

Yes, both happen at Tahoe Ridge Resort, so guests can stay put from the vows to the last dance. Ceremonies take place in the resort's garden on a terrace overlooking a natural canyon, with a wedding arbor and white garden chairs, or you can upgrade to the Arch at Lake Side Beach for a lakefront ceremony. Receptions move indoors to Castle Rock, where picture windows look out on the mountains and forest. If you only want the ceremony, a ceremony-only package is available too.

Food and drinks at Tahoe Ridge Resort come from the resort, and outside food and beverages aren't allowed in the private event spaces. If you have a special bottle in mind, corkage is $30 per bottle, or $60 for a magnum, plus tax and service charge. Many of the vendors you'd usually hire are already built into the packages, including the officiant, hair and makeup, florals, photography and a DJ. Outside décor is welcome as long as it arrives unwrapped and mostly ready to set out.

Events at Tahoe Ridge Resort run between 10am and 10pm, so plan for the music to wrap by 10pm. Packages for 40 or more guests include 5 hours of DJ and MC service, which covers most of a reception. Smaller packages come with a Bluetooth sound system: you bring the device and a friend to run the playlist and announcements. Want a live band? That's allowed only in Castle Rock, so book your reception there if a band is on your list.

Your guests can stay right at Tahoe Ridge Resort, in accommodations ranging from deluxe rooms to two-bedroom condos. Wedding guests get discounted rates with a 2-night minimum, based on availability, and the resort sets up group room blocks; groups of 20 or more get a free champagne toast. A daily resort fee of $39 plus tax covers the health club, pools, spas, guided hikes, yoga and a shuttle to the South Shore casinos. In winter, the SkiExpress gondola takes guests to Heavenly's Nevada slopes.

Tahoe Ridge Resort bundles almost everything into all-inclusive packages, from the officiant and florals to up to 5 hours of photography and a DJ, with wedding coordination in every package. Packages start at 20 guests, so it works for a small wedding as well as a 150-guest celebration, and a cocktail-style package welcomes up to 200. Your ceremony can be in the canyon-view garden or at the Arch at Lake Side Beach on Lake Tahoe. Guests can stay on site in rooms and two-bedroom condos, and in winter the SkiExpress gondola runs to Heavenly. It's an easy way to turn your wedding into a full Tahoe getaway.
