Lakefront                                                                                                   Facility Weddings                  Location, Location, Location;    Lakefront wedding and reception venues are very few and difficult to find.  For that reason and more, this particular facility is destined to become one of the most sought after locations for weddings, as well as, other party/convention activities. 

                                           This particular facility operated for decades as one of Tahoe's finest restaurants.  Recently, the restaurant owner decided to retire and to rent the entire facility to parties, small, medium and large, one group at a time. 

To illustrate the popularity of this previously operated restaurant, after the highly secretive Tahoe wedding of actor Tom Selleck in 1987 (Married at The Dream-Maker's Wedding Chapel) his reception dinner was held here.

With many facilities claiming a lake view (many looking across a highway, or a view filtered through a forest of trees) this location is so close to the water that if you fell out of a window you could actually fall into the lake! 

Note: The wedding photos below were extracted from a video tape, so their quality is not up to the high photo standards that The Dream-Maker holds for its wedding couples and their package wedding photo sessions.  Also, the decorated floral trellis and the floral sprays are package upgrades, see florist link for floral possibilities. 

Located shoreside, this compartmentalized, three room facility (see diagram below) can accommodate the ceremony, in one room (seating for approximately 50 people), the reception lunch/dinner in another and, with a rented dance floor, dancing in still another.  For dining capacity all three rooms hold 105 people (left-room - 50 table-seated, mid-room 25 table-seated, right-room 30 table-seated) .

No longer a restaurant, but outfitted with a state of the art kitchen, catering is a very viable and encouraged option (but not required), allowing a single location for both a wedding and reception.

Decoration of the site could be customized by your Dream-Maker wedding coordinator (trellis, floral sprays, table bouquets, etc.).

Below is a cost list of rental fees and catering possibilities.  Customizing menus are also encouraged.  The Dream-Maker Lake Tahoe will be happy to set you up with the caterer for personalized service.
