Q + A

What airport should we fly into?

Reno-Tahoe International Airport is the closest commercial airport, just about a 45 minute drive to the venue sans traffic. Other surrounding airports include Sacramento (1.5-2 hour drive), Oakland (2.5-3 hour drive) or San Francisco (3 hour drive).

What is the best way to get from the Reno Airport up to the lake?

Car rental & carpooling are the way to go! If you are unable to arrange a car rental, there are taxis and Ubers available to get you where you need to go, but keep in mind that taxis and ride-shares are not the most reliable once you're up at the lake.

When should we RSVP by?

Please submit your RSVP no later than June 15th, 2025.

What is the dress code for the wedding?

Our dress code is black tie optional. Please refer to this website if you aren't sure what to wear. A note for the ladies: our bridesmaids will be in yellow! https://www.brides.com/black-tie-optional-wedding-attire-4800698

What is the dress code for the Welcome Party?

Our welcome party is Tommy Bahama-inspired. Guys, think Hawaiian shirts. Girls, think linens and floral prints. But actually, you can wear whatever you want. We just want you to be happy and comfortable and enjoy the fresh mountain air!

Where is the couple staying?

We will be staying in Olympic Valley in the Village condos for the week of our wedding, and encourage our guests to stay close by! We want to spend as much time as we can with our people. Choose from hotels, condo-style or Airbnb's nearby.

Will there be a room block for lodging?

We do not have a room block, however we have a discount for guests who would like to stay in the Palisades Village (condo-style accommodations). Please use the link below to book with 25% off your stay! This is the most central option for lodging and is walking distance from the ceremony, reception and after-party and where the couple will be staying for the week leading up to the wedding! https://www.inntopia.travel/Ecomm/Package/Package/9801138/en-US/?packageid=81792&promocode=TylerLeavy

Where should we stay if we don't want to stay in Olympic Valley?

While we highly recommend staying in Olympic Valley, we understand if you want to be closer to the lake. If so, Tahoe City has plenty of hotels and rentals to choose from and is about a 10-20 minute drive depending on traffic. In the other direction from Palisades is Truckee, which is also super charming and is about a 15-20 minute drive from the venue. We are just about smack dab in the middle of the two. For something a little closer, Alpine Meadows is just about a 5-10 minute drive from our venue with a similar mountain-feel to Palisades.

Should I be concerned about altitude sickness?

It's definitely something to take into consideration. We would recommend getting into town at least 2 days prior to the wedding if you are not used to being at higher elevations or are unsure of how your body will adjust. Lake Tahoe is situated at 6,200 feet, and the reception venue is at 8,200 feet. We suggest taking things slow upon arrival, drinking lots of water and resting as needed.

Are children welcome?

Yes. If they are not on your invitation, be sure to reach out to us ahead of time and let us know if they are coming along so we can make dinner arrangements for them as needed.

What's the weather going to be like?

July in Tahoe is a magical time of year. You can expect the daytime temps to be around mid to high 70s and lows in the 50s at night. Be sure to get a strong sunscreen!

Other things to consider...

This is one of the busier times of the year at the lake coming out of the Fourth of July weekend. Carpool if/when possible, look into using public transportation (TART), and give yourself plenty of time to get to and from places if you make plans to do something! This area has one way in and one way out.
