How to plan Lake Tahoe Elopement?
Lake Tahoe is located between Nevada and California, so depending on which side you're going to elope you'll need to obtain a marriage license. Don’t worry – I can definitely help you navigate this part.
To get married in California, you can get marriage license at any County Clerk’s Office in California. You'll need to bring your ID and pay around 100$. Marriage licenses in California are valid for 90 days, and you don’t need to get married in the county you receive your marriage license. You can even get married the same day you pick up your marriage license!
To get married on Nevada side, you also have to get a marriage license and you’ll want to ensure your officiant is certified in Nevada. . If you’re traveling from out of town, you can obtain a license at Washoe or Carson City, Nevada on your way to Tahoe. Since part of Lake Tahoe is a state park different permit rules apply for permits than they would on public lands, and unfortunately they can be a bit harder to obtain, depending where you're thinking of eloping. I can definitely help getting those or helping you find locations that don't require any permits.
