When it comes to the most romantic elopement destinations in the U.S., South Lake Tahoe tops the list for couples dreaming of an intimate, scenic, and soul-filled celebration. Whether you're escaping the stress of big wedding planning or simply looking to tie the knot in nature's grandeur, Tahoe delivers magic at every turn.

At Forest Suites Resort, we offer more than just a place to stay, we’re your home base for a deeply personal, unforgettable elopement. Nestled in the heart of Heavenly Village, just steps from the lake, we combine natural beauty with resort convenience for one of the most compelling destination wedding venues in the Sierra.

Snow-dusted pines in winter. Golden aspens in fall. Sunlit lake views in summer. No matter the season, Lake Tahoe provides a cinematic backdrop for your “I do.” It’s no wonder photographers call it a dream shoot location.

An elopement here means more than just a quick ceremony, it's a full experience. Start your day with a lakeside sunrise, hike to breathtaking overlooks, or celebrate post-vows with a boat cruise or ski run.

Eloping strips away the pressure of a traditional wedding, leaving space for what really matters: the two of you. We take care of the logistics with our curated elopement wedding packages.

Steps from the Heavenly Gondola and moments from Lake Tahoe, our resort places you in the heart of Tahoe’s natural and cultural highlights. That means no time lost in transit, just you, your partner, and the moment.

From our cozy, alpine-inspired chapel to nearby beach ceremony spots like The Arch at Tahoe, your elopement can be as rustic or as lakeside-luxe as you wish.

Our elopement wedding packages are created with intimacy in mind. Whether it’s just the two of you or a small circle of loved ones, every detail—from the bouquet to the bubbly—is handled with care.
