My husband and I got married at the end of September and still can't stop talking about how incredible our wedding was at PlumpJack. Not only was the venue in the most stunning loc...
ation with beautiful views (especially with the fall colors), the team we worked with at PJ were absolutely wonderful. I firmly believe the group of people who are tasked with organizing and executing your wedding day can make or break the day, and we couldn't have been happier. We owe a HUGE thank you to Sarah, Bonnie, Rob and the rest of their team who made our wedding day perfect and far better than anything we could have expected.
From the initial venue tour, to the many emails to ensure every detail was perfect, the accommodations made, and executing everything seamlessly on our wedding, I can say with full confidence we would do it all over again in a heartbeat. We are so happy with our decision to have our wedding at PlumpJack.
Not only was the staff wonderful, and the location super dreamy, but the food was AMAZING. We chose to serve our guests fish and steak, and we were so impressed with how it turned out! We also really enjoyed the drink selections and know our guests did too!
If you are looking for a venue that has it all, PlumpJack is the place- you will not be disappointed!

We could hardly be more pleased with how our late-August wedding at PlumpJack Inn turned out. There are so many things to highlight, from the natural beauty of the ceremony site to...
the convenience of Palisades Olympic Village, but the real highlight was the PlumpJack staff. Rob and Sarah on the events team were flexible, responsive, and accommodating. Taryn and Michelle at the front desk were huge hits with our guests. And the real stars of the show, the banquet team and kitchen. They went above and beyond to accommodate a handful of dietary restrictions amongst our guests, and nearly everyone remarked that the food was among the best they'd ever had at a wedding. We'd second that for sure!
Everything at PlumpJack is sort of a “quintessential mountain lodge” – which means it is minimalist and a bit dated, if we’re really being honest. But that’s true of most everything on the Tahoe North Shore, and really is sort of the point of the place entirely! With some investment in florals and reception rentals, we were able to take this naturally incredible venue and build off it beautifully to craft a wonderful night for us and our guests.
