Genoa Venue Tour

We couldn't have picked a better day to tour some of the gorgeous event venues in Genoa.  The weather was sunny and the wind left us alone.  Our First stop was at Genoa Lakes Golf Resort, where couples can get married with the Sierras as a backdrop at either the lakes course or the resort course.  Each are decorated beautifully with fantastic furnishings that have a rustic touch.  The Mountain View Room is great for smaller weddings and the surrounding rooms give what Director of Catering Marie Stokes calls" a mansion feel." 
The larger Banquet Pavillion can accommodate 250 people but still offers guests a cozy atmosphere.  Both venues have bridal suites for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready in and Marie will take care of the details to make sure weddings go off without a hitch!

Our second stop was at The Orchard House, a private residence that used to be a bad and breakfast.  Owners Betsy and Randy offer strictly outdoor weddings on the grounds of their historic home. Weddings here will have an elegant, back yard feel.

The Orchard House also offers a bridal suite and they work with local vendors to bring in tables, chairs, linens and china.

Our third and last stop was right next door at Trimmer Outpost, where couples can enjoy the ultimate Nevada wedding in a historic home that has been converted into a store and event venue.  The barn in the back has been refurbished but still has the charm of an old barn.
The outpost in the front sells unique gifts and grass fed beef from the family's ranch.  The grounds can accommodate small events and weddings.
