Plan Your Wedding

Events at Deer Lake is one of the most private and breathtaking wedding venues near Lake Tahoe and Truckee, nestled on 130 acres in the High Sierra wilderness. With a pristine 9-acre lake, towering evergreens, aspen-lined paths, and total seclusion, it offers one of California’s most unforgettable destination wedding experiences.


Couples choose Events at Deer Lake for its exclusive privacy, panoramic High Sierra mountain views, and the ability to turn their celebration into a full weekend with friends and family. It’s a one-of-a-kind mountain wedding estate just minutes from Truckee, Donner Summit, and North Lake Tahoe.

Private Lakeside Ceremony Lawn

Your ceremony takes place on a 4,200 sq ft ceremony lawn along the shores of Deer Lake. A quiet lake reflects the mountains around you, creating a natural backdrop made for photographs. Aspen trees line the aisle, and the entire area is reserved solely for your party.

Reception Hall Overlooking a Second Mountain Lake

After your lakeside cocktail hour on our 1,500 sq ft private beach, guests move up to our 4,500 sq ft reception hall, perched above a second lake. The reception hall features openair mountain views, glowing sunsets, and space for long tables, dancing, and live music.


Just steps away, an 1,800 sq ft lakeview dance floor lets your celebration continue under the stars with uninterrupted High Sierra views.

A Full Destination-Weekend Experience

Events at Deer Lake is not just a venue — it’s a weekend-long celebration.


Your party can enjoy:


  • escorted canoe races on the private 9-acre lake
  • beach games and cocktails
  • fishing in waters stocked with 5-lb trout

Historic 100-Year-Old Cabin (Bridal Suite)

Your wedding morning begins in our fully restored 100-year-old hand-built stone hunting cabin, crafted from rock gathered on the property in 1918. The cabin has been preserved and modernized to serve as the perfect bridal suite for getting ready, capturing photos, and sharing quiet moments before the ceremony.
