the short version What sets it apart

The ceremony-only specialist: ninety minutes of private Tahoe sand under a reclaimed-cedar arch, with the reception a stroll away at Stateline.

  • The purest version of the Tahoe beach wedding — sand, water, mountains, and a cedar arch.
  • Published to the dollar and the hour: $2,200–$3,700 for a 1.5-hour private reservation.
  • PA system, white chairs, restrooms, and setup all handled by the venue's staff.
  • Guests walk to the Stateline hotels and reception rooms afterward — no shuttle needed.

The Arch at Lakeside Beach does one thing and prices it plainly: a private beach ceremony on South Lake Tahoe sand, at the water's edge under a triangular arbor handcrafted from reclaimed cedar. Reservations run ninety minutes — decorating, vows, and photos — in fixed slots through the day, May through October, from elopements up to 150 guests.

The operation handles what beach weddings usually leave to chance: a PA system and microphone, white wedding chairs, clean restrooms, and staff who set up and manage the slot. 2026 rates are published — $2,200 weekdays, $3,700 weekends — and the reception plan writes itself, since the Stateline hotels and restaurants are within walking distance of the sand.
