From the moment I walked up the stairs and saw the gorgeous view of Lake Tahoe through the expansive windows of Gar Woods I knew I wanted to get married there. My husband and I had an excellent experience planning our ceremony and reception wit...h Gar Woods. We worked primarily with Amy Grigsby as well as two other coordinators who provided consistent communication, answered all of my questions and gave me reassurance that our wedding vision would be executed without issue. The reception rooms upstairs comfortably sat our 150 guests. Gar Woods was able to accommodate 160, but past that number it would be too tight and potentially very hot in the summer. There is no AC, however, this did not pose an issue even in late July as there was a nice breeze coming off the lake. There is no bridal suite or room to get ready which can make for some tight scheduling with pictures and quick touch ups before the ceremony and the venue is not equipped with an elevator or ramp to go upstairs if handicap accessibility is an issue for your event. Other than those minor issues this was the most picturesque, old Tahoe feel for our wedding! Many of the guests continue to comment on how great the food and service was and the Wet Woodies were served all night. If you want to get married in Tahoe, Gar Woods is a must – you won’t be disappointed!
