Zephyr Cove Resort

the short version What sets it apart

The east-shore beach resort where you can marry on the sand — or cast off and do it from the deck of a paddlewheeler.

• Only at Tahoe: exchange vows mid-lake on the M.S. Dixie II with the Sierra on every horizon.
• Year-round program — beach weddings all summer, snow-framed ones in the quiet months.
• Cabins and lodge rooms on the property keep the crew together, with group pricing at ten units.
• One operator handles boat, beach, restaurant, and rooms — a single contract for the whole weekend.

prices What's it going to cost?

Zephyr Cove Resort doesn't publish pricing — request current rates through the venue's site. As a rule of thumb, comparable Zephyr Cove-area venues run from the low thousands (weekday) to the mid-five-figures (peak Saturdays, full-service).
