Tannenbaum – An Alpine Event Center

I have never reserve this site personally for an event yet.
But I have attended three events here in the last year. A Unilocal ISC, a Reno Bites Week dinner event and an open house. The venue is a beautiful lodge nestled in the pine trees part way up Mt Rose. It has full windows on the backside looking out over tree covered mountain and the Washoe Valley below.
Today I really received a nice tour and learned more about what the Tannenbaum has to offer. I was surprised at how many it could seat inside for a formal dinner– over 200. And the level yard outback is the perfect location for a romantic wedding venue, seating another 200. If you are planning a wedding there, it is well equipped. Downstairs there is a bride’s room with full bath, mini kitchen and mirrors to get ready for the big event. And the groom’s room? It’s a man cave. The groom and the guys have plenty of space to get dressed in, enjoy a cocktail from the mini bar and even play some last minute foosball.
Every time I have attended an event here, it has seemed to happen flawlessly. The staff is well prepared and the venue beautiful.

We attended our nephews wedding here this weekend. The venue was lovely, we had appetizers and drinks on the lawn outside with beautiful views. The reception was held inside, very welcoming atmosphere. The food was served family style. We received a bowl of salad to share for 6people, which amounted to one ting full of salad. We were by passed for rolls and requested them 2times before finally receiving some after out entrée was served. The next to arrive was asparagus and potatoes, followed by tender trip tip, about 10 min after receiving the vegetable dish. The tri tip which equal led about 3 slices per person was accompanied with a horse-​radish mixture that was quite good along with roasted red peppers slices. There was not enough horse radish to go around so we requested more. We were told they had run out. We realized that we did not have salt or pepper shakers at the table. We requested both and were provided with «bulk» salt and pepper in plastic cups to be served using our fingers. While the ambiance was very nice, this venue could be a little more generous with their «family» style service, more attention to service by the staff, and a larger dance floor for guests to recall enjoy this event center.

My son had his wedding there and he couldn’t have found a better location, or a more professional staff. It was perfect in every way, and the staff was relaxed, friendly, and super helpful. We were SO pleased! Many Thanks for providing a memorable, comfortable and fun venue.

Such a beautiful venue run by the worse owners/​management. Julie is the owner of this establishment and tries to portray herself as just an employee. We booked New Year’s Eve 2015 here, and unfortunately had to cancel. We put a $ 1000 deposit down in JANUARY and contacted her in April to cancel. She didn’t respond to the first message. I again wrote her 4 days later to cancel. Then she said she’d send us a check of our refund. 11 days later she says she hasn’t even mailed it yet! Still waiting on a refund… Will we ever get it? Or do we need to get a lawyer involved? I can’t believe the unprofessional environment she is running! Is this a business or a scam?!? We are canceling our venue because she wanted us to pay $ 35/​person for the open bar. Which was great except I’m not paying that for kids who aren’t drinking. She treated us like a couple of dumb young kids that didn’t know what they were talking about! I’m not down for being scammed! Especially when it comes to my wedding! This place is a joke! Unless you’re ready to be screwed to the max on your wedding day do not book here! The only reason they got one star from me is because I had to leave a star!!! This place is the absolute worse!

This place is pure perfection! I grew up in Truckee and always imagined getting married on the lake, but realized quickly that that was way out of my budget. The Tannenbaum was one of my last choices (I hadn’t been there in over 10 years). After talking to Julie, I set up an appointment and saw the venue. I was shocked! She has made so many improvements… it looks like a completely different place. I immediately knew that the Tannenbaum is where I wanted my dream wedding to take place. Julie was sweet and helpful from day one. She went above and beyond expectations and was quick to respond to my many questions. All of her hard work showed on my wedding day. It was more perfect than I ever imagined. I HIGHLY recommend the Tannenbaum. Not only is the view spectacular, and the venue stunning, but Julie is such a kindhearted and helpful person. I felt comfortable working with her from day one. My big day could not have been more perfect. P. S. if you get married here, talk to Julie about renting white carpet…100% worth it!

Beautiful setting, amazing views and an onsite wedding planner to help you plan any event. From weddings to corporate retreats, this spot has indoor and outdoor space and room for a large group. I was there for a summer season party and it was lovely. You won’t know what’s there from the large parking lot (good news, NO parking problems!)…check out the website to see what you can’t see from the road.

Great view, first and foremost. The room is beautiful, there is a kitchen attached, which many sites don’t have. This is big deal if you are going to be cooking food or having a menu that is best finished being cooked at the last minute.
The room is large, the event staff are efficient, there is room to have a bar put of the way and of course there are a number of great places to take pictures. Time your party right and watch the moon rise on the horizon.
It’s also super unique for the area as well.

I attended my niece’s wedding here. The towering mature trees, and beautiful background provide endless picturesque opportunities. The venue itself is spacious and feels comfortable from the moment you walk in. It’s definitely a great place for an intimate wedding plus it’s close to Lake Tahoe!

I’ve been here several times for weddings and special events. The views of the valley were quite nice, especially at sunset. The venue itself is fine with a great location half-​way up Mt. Rose (convenient for both Reno and Tahoe residents), bathrooms were well-​maintained, the interior roomy for an intimate wedding. I would suspect more than 200 guests would be difficult and crowded. Hard to rate anything else without taking other factors into consideration, such as outside vendors who provided the food, decoration, etc.
