No regrets and cherished memories! My husband and I fell in love with Valhalla over the internet but seeing it in person really sealed the deal. It has everything I imagined as a bride in terms of beauty but also flexibility, support and finances (all of which are very important when planning a wedding!) We got married right before the evacuation of the caldor fire and had originally planned for an outdoor reception with dancing inside. The day of, we were able to easily transition to all indoor festivities due to the smoke which was a huge triumph. Everyone danced, laughed and acted like there wasn’t a worry in the world! The staff is extremely easy to work with, communicate to and even helped us problem solve during the fire to make our dream wedding come true. I can’t imagine not being married in such a beautiful and historic place, even with the chaos of a natural disaster. We recently returned for maternity photos and to no surprise, we were infatuated again and actually appreciated the differences in scenery and vibes from each experience! We will always visit Valhalla when in South Lake Tahoe and it will always be a precious place to us. Get married here! Experience a concert here! Just make sure you get to at least visit at...
Read moreValhalla really is a remarkable venue and so beautifully placed by the water. We had a magical wedding here.
However, several things you may want to understand about the venue. They don't seem to manage a lot of high end events here. They up charge a lot for any changes to the venue away from their baseline setup (which is not always the nicest starting point). They have lots of restrictions regarding location and logistics of certain parts of your event on the property. They were very unaccommodating at times. For instance, we paid the petty 125 for the photographs in the theater and when our photographer chose to adjust the timing for better lighting, they closed the space and would not permit our photos at a later time. They require the vendors to work extra hard which resulted in our having to hire additional staff with added costs from multiple vendors to facilitate the evening. Valhalla also ended up keeping our deposit for a time overage which was due to vendor miscommunication and never even responded to an email we wrote to contest the extra charge. So while beautiful, beware of the hidden restrictions and potential extra costs on top of the base rental fee from both Valhalla and your vendors to be able...
Read moreWedding review from a very happy bride: We booked Valhalla for our micro wedding on November 6 and it was an absolute dream. The team was fantastic from the moment we booked to The moment we left the property and even checked in with us A few days later to see how we were doing. They have amazing communication, check in with you regularly, answer any and all questions you have, can help recommend vendors from their preferred vendors list if you’re having trouble finding somebody, and the location is absolutely, breathtakingly, stunningly, gorgeous. The pictures themselves are beautiful but seeing it in person will take your breath away and getting married there?! A dream come true, especially if you have a great photographer that captures every moment like we did! The whole experience was just phenomenal, I can’t even put it into words that would be capable of describing how perfect our day was. Do yourself a favor, reach out to this venue and schedule a tour if you can, and book them for your special day. You definitely won’t regret it!
P.s. if you have your wedding here, do yourself a favor and make sure to get some pictures on the dock, they turn out absolutely phenomenal!!! 😍
