Venues at the West Shore Cafe
With a multitude of event spaces, you can have your ceremony, reception, and other wedding-related events (rehearsal dinner, welcome party, send-off brunch, etc.) at the West Shore Cafe. Surrounded by mountain peaks and the blue water of Lake Tahoe, you get the best of both worlds when you book their indoor and outdoor venues.
West Shore Lakefront Lawn
This outdoor venue accommodates up to 250 guests. It’s located adjacent to the deck and pier and is an ideal private space for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. The area is surrounded by aspen trees and offers a clear view of the lake.
West Shore Lakefront Pier
This outdoor venue accommodates up to 100 guests for a wedding celebration entirely outdoors on a private, enchanting pier. Make this venue extra special by arriving at your wedding via boat or hopping aboard for breathtaking sunset photos.
West Shore Lakefront Deck and Pier
Can’t choose just one West Shore Cafe venue? Have two when you book the deck and pier for your wedding, and host your ceremony over the water and reception on the expansive deck. Together, these spaces accommodate up to 250 guests.
West Shore Lakefront Dining Room
This indoor venue accommodates up to 150 guests for dining (without a dance floor) and offers the perfect combination of elegance and charm. With floor-to-ceiling windows that provide an unbeatable view of Lake Tahoe, this is the perfect winter wedding venue or reception space.
Homewood Mountain Top Ceremony Site
Would you rather be overlooking the lake on a mountain top than steps from the shore? Then the Homewood Mountain Top Ceremony Site is ideal for you. Homewood is rated the #1 Scenic Resort View in North America, and you and 150 guests can gather there for your ceremony. Getting to the top includes a chairlift ride up 7,000+ feet for a truly unforgettable experience.
Want it all? You can have it with the West Shore Full Venue Buyout Package that gives you exclusive access to the grounds for your wedding day! Utilize all venue spaces at the cafe for each aspect of your wedding for a genuinely luxurious, private celebration with your loved ones.
