The old Squaw Valley stables turned bohemian meadow venue — stretch tents, teepees, and 250 guests under the Olympic peaks.
Olympic Valley Stables occupies the meadow floor of Olympic Valley, where the operation that once housed more than fifty horses and ponies now stages weddings instead. The bones of the ranch remain the venue's vocabulary: ceremonies in the old riding arena with unobstructed mountain views, receptions under a 54-by-64-foot stretch tent, a separate libations tent for the bar, teepees for cocktail hour, and three lounges for getting ready.
The business model is DIY-friendly at scale — up to 250 guests, your own vendors and alcohol without corkage, and a package ladder published to the dollar, from a $3,333 weekday elopement to a $30,000 two-day takeover. For couples who want the Palisades backdrop without a resort's rulebook, this is the valley's free-spirited answer.
