    #PirtleandNagleHitchingattheStable

    We recently had our wedding at Olympic Valley Stables, and it was an absolutely enchanting experience. The venue is nestled in breathtaking Olympic Valley surrounded by stunning natural scenery, creating a perfect backdrop for our special day. The panoramic views of the mountains and the serene atmosphere made our wedding feel like a fairytale.

    The management at Olympic Valley Stables was exceptional. From the initial planning stages to the day of the event, Mich was incredibly supportive and attentive to every detail. Their professionalism and dedication ensured that everything ran smoothly, allowing us to enjoy our day without any stress.

    One of the standout features of this venue is the freedom it offers in terms of vendor choices. We were able to select our preferred vendors for catering, photography, and decorations, allowing us to personalize our wedding exactly how we envisioned it. This flexibility made our planning process much more enjoyable and tailored to our unique style.

    Overall, Olympic Valley Stables is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to host a wedding in a picturesque setting with outstanding management and the liberty to create a truly customized event. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect venue to celebrate our love.

    Perfect location

    The Stables were great to work with for our special day. We loved the ease for our vendors to be able to access the venue. Communication was great. We loved the bride and groom suites, the tent for dinner and teepees and the silent disco after party was a big hit!
    All our friends and family said it was the most fun wedding they had ever been to! Highly Recommend!

    This was the venue of our dreams!

    If you're looking for a truly unique space, one that doesn't feel cookie cutter or "done before", one that feels exciting, unexpected and wildly beautiful, then Olympic Valley Stables is definitely the way to go. Yes, the space is a bit more rustic, but it's also clean, expansive and the breathtaking backdrop has no shortage of unforgettable views. The raw, rustic vibe also means you can have more DIY elements so you can really get creative and make this space yours, which was important to my husband and me. The venue director, Mich, is also wonderful to work with. He was communicative, kind, warm, and supportive of all our requests. P.S., the venue offers a silent disco afterparty option, which I highly recommend. If your guests like to dance, they'll have the time of their lives with the silent disco. So many of our guests told us the silent disco was the highlight of their night. Thank you, Mich, for helping to make all our dreams come true on our big day.

    Olympic Valley Stables Summer Wedding

    To say Mich and the Olympic Valley Stables met my expectations would be an understatement! I couldn't be more thrilled with the venue and my wedding! Mich was so incredible - responsive, thorough, and helped me reach my vision! The location was stunning. They made sure the entire venue was in ship shape condition! The bridal sweet was beautiful, the barn was so fun, and the tent for the reception was perfect! I couldn't recommend Mich and the stables more. Thank you!!!

    Mich was so easy to work with and helped us realize our vision with the space.

    This is the best venue in the Tahoe area. The photo ops 10/10. The optionality 10/10. The vibes 10/10. You can really make the space your own yet still feel immersed in nature and stay within a modest budget. Mich was so accommodating and was helpful in providing feedback as to how best to utilize the space. I could not recommend this venue enough

    Extremely Professional

    We had booked our wedding at the Olympic Valley Stables 3 1/2 weeks prior to the wedding date of 8-28-2021, because of our previous venue closing due to the Dixie Fire in Lake Almanor, CA.
    We wanted a beautiful outdoor venue in the mountains and trees and were very fortunate to find the Olympic Valley Stables. They were extremely easy to work with in the planning and were very accommodating throughout the entire process.
    Unfortunately, we were forced to cancel the wedding 5 days prior to the wedding due to the Caldor Fire in Tahoe. After explaining the situation to Mich, he agreed to refund all of the money we prepaid for the venue.

    We just want to say that not only does he have a wonderful wedding venue which we really looked forward to enjoying, he is an exceptionally ethical and extremely professional person.

    Amazing location

    This location is superior to all... the planning, the set up, the ceremony, the reception in the tent, the afterparty silent disco in the barn... every aspect was more than we expected!!! We would do it all over again the exact same way at this location only... so happy with our epic day!!!!

    The Perfect Fit

    Stunning, Unique, Personal... these are some of the words that come to mind when I reflect on our time at the Olympic Valley Stables. The entire experience working with Mich was so smooth and such a joy. Anyone who has the opportunity to meet Mich, let alone work with him, can feel his passion and love for the Valley. We held our Rehearsal Dinner inside of the barn the Friday before our wedding and our Wedding was in the barn. Every aspect of our wedding was so beautifully produced, and so much of that was due to the impeccable beauty that is the Stables. We cannot recommend the Stables as a wedding venue more.

    Beautiful, amazing and fun experience at the stables

    Originally we planned to have the wedding reception summer 2020 but were able to reschedule for July 2021. Mich is so easy to work with and responsive to all, and any, questions. All the areas we needed were prepped and lit for the event. The tent is large with a dance floor, and well lit, so we had no trouble entertaining over 140 people for dinner and dancing. There are so many options to set up the venue as you prefer. Though our main event was outside, there is also the "barn" with a bar and disco set up which we used for a meet and greet the night before for family and those traveling from out of town to the event. The two ready rooms for the bride and groom parties are furnished beautifully. The venue is also close to Squaw Valley which has accommodations, restaurants and shops which was convenient for traveling guests.
    The views of the valley and the mountains are stunning for the guests and of course for photos. Everyone was so impressed by the beautiful setting and fun was had by all.

    Wedding of our dreams at Olympic Valley Stables

    Olympic Valley Stables was by far one of the best choices we made when it came to our wedding weekend. First and foremost, Mich is the easiest wedding vendor to work with. Seriously, the way he runs the stables truly puts the couple first. We had originally booked another venue that is no longer doing weddings because of COVID and it was in a way a blessing in disguise because we were able to book the stables. Mich worked with us on so many different dates to get all of our vendors on the same date and he made that process so easy on us.
    Mich was full of local info/great vendor suggestions if we needed them. He worked so well with us and with our planner. The best part of this venue is the fact that it is a total blank canvas. We chose to keep it somewhat simple and let the GORGEOUS/BREATH TAKING views do most of the work. But Mich let us do what we wanted with the space and we had zero issues getting anything set up. The space itself is so versatile you could do anything and everything with it.
    If you ask any of our guests they will tell you that the afterparty silent disco made the wedding one of the best. Mich has all of the equipment and absolutely ROCKED it. SO SO FUN.

    I would get married here over and over again

    Stunning venue for the wedding of my dreams!

    What an amazing venue! Our original wedding date was June 2020. Once the pandemic hit, we were able to work with Mitch to reschedule our wedding. He was so understanding and helpful.
    When you plan your wedding at the stables, everything is customizable, which can be very helpful for staying within your budget. There are so many wonderful vendors in the Reno/Tahoe area that can help you make your wedding the best day possible. You will have to hire an event planner for the day, but it is so worth it.
    The views are absolutely incredible. You are completely surrounded by trees and mountains- it's absolutely breath taking.
    The stables was a perfect venue for us for a few reasons. First, there are plenty of lodging options that are within a reasonable distance from hotels, vacation rental homes, to plenty of nearby camping. Your guests will be able to find something to do- hiking, biking, checking out Lake Tahoe, Truckee.. there's so much to do in the area. Getting ready at the venue was such a breeze with the really cute bridal and groom suites. Being onsite made it so easy to get ready for the event. We really wanted to be somewhere outdoors, and under the stars for our wedding. This venue allows for any one to be able to attend your event, while still enjoying the outdoors. The tent that the venue provides is not only beautiful, but perfect dinner and dancing. We also didn't want the party to have to be over at 10 pm. We decided to do a silent disco at the barn, and it was a huge hit.

    When we think of our wedding, it's pretty amazing that we had the perfect day surrounded by friends and family in such a beautiful location. I can't thank Mitch enough for all of his help making our dream wedding possible.

    Obsessed Beyond Belief

    Where to even begin…We chose Olympic Valley Stables for several reasons back in 2019. Two of those big reasons were the fact that the owner, Mitch, was the sweetest human we had met in the wedding industry and the fact that the venue was just so truly unique and the exact vibe we were looking for, that we knew we had to choose it the second we pulled up to check it out in person. Once we chose the venue and our date in 2020, the COVID-19 global pandemic hit, which was torture to deal with as a bride planning her dream wedding. Luckily for us, we not only chose the right venue but also the right owner of the venue to work with. Mitch was so accommodating and kind to work with during this pandemic nightmare and made postponing so much more bearable and easy than I ever thought possible. We eventually postponed to 2021, with his help, and ended up having the most magical, epic, and beautiful music festival-party-wedding ever. If it weren’t for his constant support or reassurance through the whole postponing process, we most likely would not have had the perfect, dream wedding we so desperately wanted and worked so hard for. That all being said, there are so many wonderful things about this venue but the greatest one, in my opinion, is that it is completely customizable across the board. Therefore, if you are trying to have a budget friendly wedding, you can; if you want to dance all night long, you can; if you don’t want to do a plated meal, you don’t have to. The list goes on with infinite possibilities for your wedding (or event) because you are not required or restricted to anything at this venue. Plain and simple. I mean, where else can you find that nowadays? In addition, it has lodging close by, which means a close walk or short bike ride for your guests on flat land! Therefore, your guests are not restricted to your wedding venue and can go back to their lodging to change, rest, whatever at any time for any reason. The other unique aspect about this venue is simply its location. The venue itself is HUGE - you have the barn, the teepee (which we turned into a bar and it was the coolest thing on planet Earth), and the tent to party in but the property itself is so large that again, you have infinite possibilities for activities, games, dancing, music, howling at the moon, silent discos, etc. Surrounding this large venue, are the meadows, trees, and mountains, that are not only stunning but also make for the most epic wedding photos I have ever seen. It straight up looks like our pictures are taken from Pinterest! I could literally go on and on about this venue (and Mitch) because it truly set the vibe for our wedding and allowed me to go absolutely buck wild with my crazy wedding plans and dreams. I truly just had the absolute best time working with Mitch, planning our wedding at the Stables, and could not have picked a better location. If I had to do it all over again, I would not have changed one thing. There are just not enough words in the world to describe my love for this venue and the gratitude I have for Mitch allowing us to postpone and have the wedding of our dreams on his beautiful property. It was perfect in every aspect and miss this venue and our magical wedding daily. XOXO.

    Amazing venue

    We had a wedding planned at the Olympic Valley Stables for Aug 2020. It is the most gorgeous location - right in the middle of the valley with a beautiful, mountainous backdrop. Mitch was wonderful to work with - he helped with ideas, connected us to vendors and was responsive to our many questions! Unfortunately, due to Covid, we had to postpone, but Mitch was very understanding and didn't give us any trouble when it came to our deposit (which other vendors did). We highly recommend this venue, and we hope to celebrate here in the future! Thank you, Mitch!

    The Perfect Venue For Our Unconventional Wedding

    When it came to planning our wedding we really wanted a venue that would allow us to express our creative vision and showcase the beauty of Squaw Valley without breaking the bank. Lucky for us, we found Olympic Valley Stables. At the time we had booked the venue it was almost a blank canvas, but as our wedding day neared the owner added some key components to the property. The addition of the reception tent and dancefloor saved us from having to arrange these items on our own. We had a seated dinner with around 110 people with the dancefloor in the middle. This allowed for plenty of room to have everyone all in one place. The property is large enough to have your ceremony separate from the reception area, there’s parking right on-site, and a barn for late night fun. There are even a couple teepees on-site that you can choose to use for additional hangout areas (or you can leave these out for more open space). This venue truly had everything we could have asked for. The owner is very kind and easy to work with and will help make recommendations for local vendors that are familiar with the property. Olympic Valley Stables was a location we had our eye on long before we were even engaged. When the day to get married at The Stables finally came it was absolutely perfect!

    A Bride’s Dream

    Our experience with the Stables was beyond anything we could’ve ever expected. Mich was extremely accommodating, easy to communicate with, and honest. The price was far below surrounding venues, and the flexibility to decorate how we wanted, bring in our own caterer and bathroom facilities, and setup/tear down was a bride’s dream as far as ease. Our guests are still raving about how beautiful the venue and scenery was. We would recommend the venue in a heartbeat.

    Perfect venue, perfect day

    If you're looking to create the most personal, magical tahoe wedding, this is absolutely the place to do it. Mich is so easy to work with and the venue is so flexible! We had the most magical wedding in the meadow in September and were so happy with the choice. Every detail was 100% us and we were able to get creative mixing and matching vendors. My husband and I are avid skiiers and now every time we ski at Squaw we get to reminisce our most perfect day.

    Mitch is a pleasure to work with!

    I have attended weddings at many venues over the years. The Squaw Valley Stables are easily my favorite! The breathtaking views, awe-inspiring rustic atmosphere, and exceptional quality, service, and Hospitality of the Squaw Valley Stables team members are what makes this venue stand out! This is my #1 recommendation for couples in the area!

    Squaw Valley Stables is a guaranteed good time

    We had a wonderful time attending a large birthday party for a friend. The space easily handled our 200+ people, there were lots of fun areas throughout the property which were set up with care and uniqueness (tea lounge, DJ booth, the lights, and the teepees and barn are wonderful), the silent disco was great because we could party all night, and the staff was sober and helped us have a lot of fun. Highly recommended for large events, weddings, or maybe even retreats. The views are unmatched, Lake Tahoe is like 20-minutes away, and there's a waterfall like 5 minutes away. Can't say enough about the party, the atmosphere, and the staff.

    Dream-Like Venue

    We had an amazing wedding experience at Olympic Valley Stables. The Squaw Valley Meadow is stunning, and the mountains surrounding it created a beautiful backdrop for our event. The venue is a large outdoor space that allows you make it your own. By bringing in individual vendors, decor, and personal touches, we were able to create a wedding that was completely unique and special. Best of all, Mich is extremely professional and enjoyable to work with. We absolutely recommend this venue to those considering it!

    Stunning setting, flexibility for your wedding dreams!

    There is no wedding venue in Tahoe that compares to the SV Stables- it can accommodate a large group, no restrictions on caterers and alcohol price (only venue in Squaw Valley that is this flexible) and is surrounded by the most stunning natural landscape in the whole valley. Mich was awesome to work with and let us take our ideas and run with them. We still have friends telling us it was the "best wedding ever". Thanks Mich for sharing this very special place with us - we are still blown away but what an amazing day and feeling it was!!
