The Perfect Venue: High Camp Palisades

When choosing their wedding venue, Chantil and Patrick knew exactly what they wanted: breathtaking views, stunning scenery, and a location of personal meaning. High Camp Palisades, perched atop the mountains in Olympic Valley, provided everything they envisioned and more. The couple wanted an intimate and grand place, with a backdrop that would leave everyone in awe.

The couple loved the idea of getting married on top of a mountain, and High Camp Palisades, with its panoramic views of the surrounding peaks, was the perfect spot for their dream wedding. The fact that it was just 15 minutes away from where Patrick had proposed made it even more special. For Chantil, walking down the aisle on the deck of High Camp was a picture she had in her mind long before the wedding day. It felt like fate when Patrick suggested adding the University of Utah flag to honour her late grandma, a tribute that made the venue feel even more personal.

A Beautiful Blend of Two Places

The couple's wedding colors, navy blue and dusty rose, were a beautiful aesthetic choice and a reflection of their personalities and backgrounds. Patrick’s love for blue and Chantil’s affection for pink came together in a sophisticated palette, accented with rose gold for a touch of elegance. The colors also honored their shared history—Patrick’s family roots in the Lake Tahoe area and Chantil’s upbringing in Utah. To celebrate their families' connections, they included a Lake Tahoe flag and a University of Utah flag at the venue and cookies inspired by both places. It was also a sweet tribute to Chantil’s late grandmother, ensuring her spirit was present throughout the day.

The Perfect Venue for a Dream Wedding

Chantil and Patrick’s choice of High Camp Palisades as their wedding venue was no accident. With stunning mountain views and an open-air deck perfect for exchanging vows, it was the dream setting for their mountain-top celebration. The venue holds special significance for the couple, as it’s just 15 minutes from where they got engaged. “I could picture myself walking down the aisle on the deck,” Chantil shared, and the stunning scenery made it the ideal backdrop for their big day. Adding a personal touch, Patrick suggested flying the University of Utah flag in honor of Chantil’s grandmother, and that was the final push they needed to confirm that this was the place for them.

A Day to Remember: First Look, Private Vows, and Dancing

Their wedding day was filled with unforgettable moments. They shared a private tram ride up the mountain to their ceremony site, which set the tone for a relaxed and intimate celebration. Their first look, followed by private vows, allowed them to share personal, emotional moments before they said “I do.” After exchanging vows, the reception was filled with joyous dancing and celebration. It was the perfect combination of intimate moments and lively fun, and the couple could reflect on the day with full hearts.

A Personal and Classy Celebration

Chantil and Patrick’s wedding truly reflected who they are as a couple—classy, relaxed, and full of personal meaning. From their choice of High Camp Palisades to the carefully selected colors and details, every element of the day celebrated their love and shared history. With a semi-formal dress code and two stunning wedding dresses (one for the ceremony and one for the reception), their wedding was a perfect blend of elegance and fun.

Lake Tahoe will always be a special place for this couple. Patrick’s connection to the area runs deep, and now, it holds beautiful memories for both him and Chantil. Their High Camp Palisades wedding perfectly reflected their journey together, filled with love, family, and the stunning beauty of nature.

Chantil and Patrick’s wedding was truly one-of-a-kind. It combined personal touches, stunning views, and a relaxed mountain atmosphere. The gorgeous setting, thoughtful details, and unforgettable moments made it a day they—and their guests—will remember forever.
