The Chateau at Incline Village: A Dreamy Lake Tahoe Wedding Venue
If you’re dreaming of a wedding with mountain views and a laid-back but elegant vibe, The Chateau at Incline Village is a top pick. Just minutes from Lake Tahoe, it blends classic charm with scenic backdrops, vaulted wood ceilings, and a spacious deck for the ultimate celebration.
Kenna & Austin’s August wedding showcased the best of summer in Tahoe—romantic florals, golden sunset portraits, and meaningful details. If you’re planning a Lake Tahoe wedding, this venue is worth considering!
Outdoor Ceremony with Romantic Florals
Kenna and Austin’s ceremony took place on the golf course, surrounded by greenery and beautiful florals. They exchanged vows under a floral arch, which was later repurposed for their sweetheart table—a stylish and sustainable choice! A petal-filled aisle made for a romantic entrance as Kenna walked toward Austin.
One thing to note: August in Tahoe can be warm, and the midday sun was bright with strong lighting. For couples planning an outdoor ceremony here, a later start time can help create softer, more flattering light for photos.

Cocktail Hour with a Custom Bar Menu
After the ceremony, guests hung out on The Chateau’s outdoor patio for cocktail hour. The couple made it personal with a custom bar menu featuring their favorite drinks and fun cocktail napkins with their dog’s face on them—a sweet way to honor their pup. (Want more ideas for including your dog in your wedding? Check out this blog for creative inspiration!) The relaxed setting gave everyone time to enjoy the views before heading into the reception.
If you’re getting married here, hosting cocktail hour on the deck is a great way to take in Lake Tahoe’s scenery while keeping the vibe relaxed and inviting!
Sunset Portraits on the Golf Course
Sunset at The Chateau at Incline Village is unbeatable for wedding portraits. Kenna and Austin embraced the golden hour, capturing timeless, elegant photos on the golf course. If you’re getting married here, make time for sunset portraits—the soft light and mountain views are incredible.
A Reception with Meaningful Details
As the sun set over Lake Tahoe, the reception felt warm and inviting. The sweetheart table, framed by their floral arch, created a beautiful focal point.
Their cake-cutting was a fun, lighthearted moment featuring a stunning dessert from Happy Tiers Bakery. Later, heartfelt speeches and parent dances brought all the emotions, making the night even more memorable.
A Fun Late-Night Flat Lay
One standout detail from the night was the late-night flat lay—a creative way to capture wedding details in a stylish, editorial look. It’s a great way to preserve small moments and create timeless, heirloom photos.
