Weddings

All you need is an intention and a fiancé and we can provide the rest–but we’ll count on you to let us know who to invite. The options for a spectacular wedding in Lake Tahoe are virtually endless. From a dinner party for close family to a three-day celebration with hundreds of guests, we’ll be with you every step of the way. Or if you prefer, we can make the arrangements and let you take over when you arrive. Blue Sky offers options suited to the needs of your specific event and need for hands on help. We have a menu of consulting options that may include event day coordination or you may chose a more full service approach including concept options, full vendor review, selection, and management and day-of, on-site, coordination. If you’d like we can even arrange for travel to and from Tahoe and on to a honeymoon destination. We’d also be glad to help with related events like the rehearsal dinner or a special side trip for the wedding party. Blue Sky has the local knowledge to make you feel like an expert. From matching you with the perfect venues and vendors to sending your guests to the right diner for a late night snack, we’re here to make you feel at home.
