Mountain High Weddings Celebrating the day of marriage for all couples on the CA side of Tahoe. Elopements, weddings, and ceremonies. I have lived on Tahoe's West Shore since 1988.

I also take care of your CA marriage license, and help with planning elopements. I am blessed to live in such a beautiful place that allows me to do something I love. I've had many jobs, all in the people business. I started working in a flower shop and after a few months I realized there are a lot of weddings in Tahoe. I thought to myself, What a wonderful job, celebrating marriage? I found out what it took to marry people and I started in May of 1998. I was ordained by the Universal Life Church, which believes we are all one, no matter what religion, you or I may be, we all must live in this world together. As a marriage officiant I am excited to be a part of bringing people together. I believe marriage is the ultimate commitment that two people make when they share the same goals, ideas, values, and most importantly love. I also believe the wedding ceremony is one time you have to declare your feelings, promises, and dreams in front of your loved ones. I know marriage is worth celebrating. I also know that the pre-celebration can be a little stressful and that is where I realized my calling. Creating ceremonies & celebrating the day of marriage. Becoming a marriage officiant has blessed my life in so many ways. With my many years of experience I have brought hundred's of couple's together, and with that experience I have been able to accomplish keeping the ceremony stress free.

Ashley & Dave came all the way from New Jersey to Tahoe and eloped under a full moon. 🌝

She wore her grandmother's wedding dress (meatball stain and all) 🍝 -- and completed her bridal look with Blue Nikes. πŸ‘Ÿ πŸ’™ πŸ₯° They exchanged their own words (which brought me to tears). It was a beautiful ceremony to end a memorable September. πŸ‚

T&A are having a large ceremony in a few weeks on the East Coast where they grew up. πŸŽ‰ They are having a friend officiate the ceremony and needed to make it legal. They LOVE Lake Tahoe and have a dream of maybe even moving here someday. 🏑

They looked into county legal marriages and it was not for them, so they asked ChatGPT for alternatives and they found my chapel. Originally, they wanted a Sign-and-Go Ceremony, but after a few emails, they decided for a true elopement in the woods. 🌲🌲🌲

I was able to suggest places for them to stay and they found a last-minute AirBnb with a special -- and it was close to the location I suggested AND even had paddle boards for them! They had a mid-day ceremony, so they could enjoy the lake all afternoon.

After the ceremony, they were giddy with excitement. They were thrilled with how easy I made it for them -- and the bride said it was "the best day ever." A wedding buzz that lasted all afternoon for all of us! 🍾 🎊 πŸ’ πŸ’’

Trent and Heather wanted a simple ceremony but not courthouse-like. They love nature and are early risers, so we went with a sunrise ceremony off the beaten path. I have a few secret spots up my sleeve and this spot is perfect! πŸŒ…

They recently bought a home and planned to take a week off to enjoy being married in their new home! 🏑 πŸ₯‚ πŸ’

Jaime and Denise came to Lake Tahoe from Southern California for a 5-day vacation, hoping to elope when they got to South Lake. They didn’t realize until they arrived there that all the chapels around the lake, except mine, were closed. So, after finding me online, they reached out to me via email on a late Sunday evening. I checked my email early Monday morning and reached out before my scheduled morning ceremony -- and I was able to help them that afternoon! πŸ’

Denise was absolutely thrilled with the ceremony and the fact that I could take care of everything, especially after not realizing all the chapels in South Lake had closed. She was beginning to think that they might have to hit Vegas on the way back to Southern California, but was so thrilled to have found me, so they could stick to their original plan. πŸ₯° Lake Tahoe never disappoints! πŸ˜‰

Eloping on the Wild Goose II is absolutely phenomenal. 😍

L&T are very private people, so I’m not sharing their faces, but their ceremony was amazing -- and so was the boat ride! Whenever I have the pleasure of officiating a ceremony on the Wild Goose, I'm reminded that mroe people should consider getting married on this gorgeous boat. πŸ’™

It was a busy end to July! πŸ’ And I’m starting off August with plenty of love and ceremonies at Emerald Bay, at the chapel, and all around the lake. 😍

Jen and Derek are from Florida and were planning a trip to Northern California. About a week before they left, they thought, β€œLet's just elope while we're in Tahoe!” πŸ’ ⛰️ πŸ’ž

Jen found me online, and we pulled everything together in just a few days. For her bouquet, she wanted something that looked like it had just been picked and Amanda from delivered the perfect summer bouquet. 🌻 πŸ’› πŸ’

After their elopement, they continued on "the loop" . . . San Francisco, Yosemite, Tahoe, and Napa! Cheers to a lovely honeymoon and married life, Jen & Derek! πŸ₯‚

"Christa of Mountain High Weddings did a wonderful job officiating our wedding. We had a cozy gathering in the woods, and she truly listened to us and personalized the ceremony to match our vision. She went above and beyond our expectations and made all the paperwork so easy for us. Thank you so much for our special day!"

Thank you for the lovely review, Ian! 🫢🏼

Yuliya & Stephen met and fell in love quickly; they knew it was meant to be. They travel to Tahoe often and felt it was just the place for their ceremony. πŸ’

They also knew they wanted to be married at Emerald Bay without the crowds, so we opted for a sunrise ceremony as it's always the perfect way to start the day. πŸŒ…

Looking forward to seeing the pro photos from their morning adventure photoshoot by . πŸ“Έ
