The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe Introduces Winter Wonderland Wedding Venues for 2016-2017 Season

NORTH LAKE TAHOE, CA--(Marketwired - Sep 12, 2016) - As summer comes to an end and we head into the most beautiful and magical time of the year, The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe prepares for exquisite winter wonderland weddings. The resort offers a stunning setting for destination weddings, with couples exchanging vows high above the treetops and in the midst of the most beautiful snow-capped mountains in the country.

The resort offers an outdoor wedding venue with picturesque views of the Sierra Nevada mountain range as well as several venues for a gorgeous indoor celebration hosting up to 350 guests. The various event spaces offered are large enough for multi-day cultural weddings, where marriages are elaborate occasions of rituals and customs, including both pre- and post-wedding ceremonies. Examples include a traditional Hindu marriage which embraces events such as the Haldi Ceremony, the Mehndi Night and the Sangeetor, among several others, and cultural ceremonies such as the Sofreh Aghd, known in Persian weddings.

Indoor wedding venues include two ballrooms, each showcasing breathtaking scenery that can be taken in from floor to ceiling windows, and provide uncompromised views of the widely recognized white-capped mountains. Each expansive indoor space also provides a beautiful outdoor balcony from the ballroom, which gives guests both an indoor and outdoor experience during their Lake Tahoe wedding celebration. The Ritz-Carlton Ballroom offers a refined mountain setting with amazing views of the Sierra Nevada mountains through floor-to-ceiling windows and can hold up to 350 guests; The Pines Ballroom seats up to 140 guests; and the Private Dining Room in Manzanita is the perfect venue for a smaller wedding as it seats up to 25 guests.

The Fireside Terrace is an outdoor venue option for an unforgettable winter wedding ceremony that features a 2,000-square-foot stone terrace highlighted by a seven-foot outdoor fire feature that will bring magic to a wedding ceremony for up to 200 guests.

"It is such an honor to be able to create such magical and memorable events in one of the most beautiful destinations in the world," said Amber Kijanka, catering sales manager.
