River Ranch Lodge and Restaurant Overview

The River Ranch Lodge sits on the banks of the scenic Truckee River, a beautiful location for your dreamy Tahoe wedding. The warm hospitality of this landmark Tahoe restaurant has compelled couples to host their weddings at the River Ranch Lodge for decades. During the fall months, The River Ranch patio is a spacious and picturesque location for an outdoor ceremony. It overlooks the beautiful Truckee River and you will have pine tree covered mountains as the backdrop while exchanging vows. While guests mingle on the patio during cocktail hour the happy couple can take romantic wedding portraits in the secluded wooded area that is next to the venue. Enjoy a dinner on the patio behind the stately brown and white trimmed lodge building that evokes fond memories of summer trips to the mountains. Your guests will enjoy the a variety of fresh menus items for your buffet, expertly prepared by the renowned River Ranch Chef. After a night spent celebrating, dancing and toasting to your happiness your guests can enjoy drinks at their restaurant bar after the reception and then retire to one of the well-appointed guests rooms in the lodge that was voted as “the coziest lodge in the Sierra.”
