“I got married at Tahoe Paradise Park on 7/27/26 and not only was the location absolutely breathtaking and picturesque, but the staff went above and beyond to make our big day perfect. We got married under the parks beautiful thousand year old Juniper tree and the moment was so visceral and full of natural beauty that there was a deep feeling of connection amongst everyone in attendance, truly like something out of a fairy tale. I could speak for hours about the natural beauty of the park, or how scenic and comfortable the reception was under the big tent by the clubhouse, but where the real magic lies at this location is with the staff. Scott, the park manager, was super accommodating at every turn, not only did he give us an extra hour of time that we were allowed to be at the park for no extra cost, but he also went so far as to let us use his oven in his own personal residence next to the park to heat up some of the food for our wedding. Truly, just incredibly generous, as well as a super kind and personable guy! The day-of Coordinator recommended through Scott, Chelsy Munson, was an absolute superstar, she put the entire day together seamlessly. Chelsy was present and helpful throughout every step of the planning for our wedding, and even when there were holes or issues in what I had envisioned for the day, she was there to foresee and fix any blindspot that I had missed. Her, alongside her husband and kid were absolutely instrumental during our wedding day, setting up, emceeing, helping to hide me (the bride) and transport me to the ceremony site unseen to preserve the special moment of my groom and I getting to have a legitimate first look at the altar, it was all so perfect. I could not have asked for a better venue or staff, especially for the price (they could easily be charging double and I would still say it was a steal), I am so delighted to have gotten married here and would highly recommend it to anyone considering Tahoe Paradise Park for their wedding or special event.”
