One of Lake Tahoe’s only private locations directly on the lakeshore, we can host your ceremony, cocktail hour, and dinner entirely outdoors on our enchanting deck and pier. Let the lake be your “something blue” - arrive to your ceremony via boat, or hop aboard immediately following for some time with your new spouse.

West Shore Private Lakefront Dining Room – Partial or Full buyouts available
Tahoe’s elegant charm is resplendent in our dining room, which features floor-to-ceiling windows with a view of Lake Tahoe. In winter, we can host your entire celebration indoors. In summer, choose the dining room just for dinner if you prefer.

An outdoor patio paired with an expansive indoor event space at the Homewood Event Center lets couples give their guests a taste of Tahoe mountain culture. Beautifully lit with market lights once the sun goes down, the Events Center patio offers a classic Tahoe ambiance, bringing guests closer to the surrounding forest. The inside space features charming maritime style with vaulted ceilings, an exquisite mezzanine and even a Chris-Craft wooden boat is on display to complete the theme and create a unique experience.
