Choosing the Best Time of Year for Your Lake Tahoe Wedding: A Seasonal Guide to Planning Your Dream Day
Lake Tahoe is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes and diverse seasonal beauty, making it an ideal location for your wedding. Each season offers its unique charm, and at Olympic Valley Stables, we’re here to help you choose the best time of year for your special day. While our venue shines throughout the year, excluding winter, each season brings its own set of advantages and considerations. Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you decide the perfect time of year for your Lake Tahoe wedding.
Spring: A Blooming Beginning
Pros:
Beautiful Blooms: Springtime in Lake Tahoe brings vibrant wildflowers and lush greenery, creating a colorful and picturesque backdrop for your ceremony.
Mild Weather: The weather is generally mild and comfortable, making it an ideal time for both indoor and outdoor events.
Less Crowded: Spring is less crowded than summer, which can mean better availability and potentially lower costs for venues and vendors.
Cons:
Unpredictable Weather: Spring weather can be unpredictable with occasional rain showers, so having a backup plan is essential.
Snowmelt: Depending on the year, the melting snow can cause muddy conditions in some outdoor areas.
Olympic Valley Stables: Enjoy the fresh blooms and lush surroundings as our venue transforms into a vibrant setting, perfect for a spring wedding. Our spacious outdoor areas offer a stunning backdrop with the advantage of flexible weather options. Best time to book here is early June as the weather is warming up with the longest days of the year!
Summer: A Sunny Celebration
Pros:
Perfect Weather: Summer in Lake Tahoe is known for its warm, sunny days and clear skies, ideal for outdoor ceremonies and receptions.
Longer Daylight: Longer daylight hours mean more time for photo sessions and evening festivities.
Numerous Activities: Summer provides the opportunity to include outdoor activities like hiking or boating as part of your wedding experience.
Cons:
High Demand: Summer is the peak wedding season, which means higher demand for venues and vendors, and potentially higher prices.
Crowds: The area can be crowded with tourists, which may impact travel and accommodation for guests.
Chances of smoke from wildfires: This time of year can be dry in California and smoke from wildfires is a probability. Not every year is there smoke as it is dependent on snowfall, rain and heat though-out the spring and summer.
Olympic Valley Stables: Experience the quintessential Lake Tahoe summer with our expansive outdoor spaces and stunning views. Our venue’s versatility allows you to take full advantage of the season’s beautiful weather and extended daylight.

Cons:
Cooling Temperatures: As the season progresses, temperatures can drop, so consider having a plan for cooler weather, especially for evening events.
Shorter Days: Days are shorter, which may limit the time available for outdoor activities and photos.
