The Arch at Lakeside Beach

Located near the Nevada state line in California close to the central part of town in South Lake Tahoe, The Arch at Lakeside Beach is an impressive outdoor wedding site. Being adjacent to the shoreline, the ceremony will take place at the water’s edge on the sand under the triangular arbor where the view is an endless sight of beauty. The deep blue color of the water established in the foreground of the majestic Sierra Nevada Mountain Range that encompasses the lake is an ideal setting for exchanging your vows in addition to making a perfect background for the wedding photography.

The beach venue is conveniently situated near Tahoe’s casino center where there are plenty of first-rate restaurants equipped for hosting receptions as well as fabulous hotels and resorts that are readily available for an overnight stay. Too, its expedient positioning allows for easy travel and access, and the paved walkway leading to the ceremonial spot is advantageous for the elderly who may have difficulty walking in the sand.

Another fine feature is the nearby shade trees where guests can mingle in the cool shadows while waiting for the commencement of the ceremony.

This spacious site will seat up to 75 guests, and a staff attendant will assist with directives for guest parking and seating as well as help organize your wedding party if needed prior to your walk down the aisle. The attention you’ll receive assures you of a smooth running event on a milestone day.
