Ed Z'berg Sugar Pine Point State Park occupies the west shore of Lake Tahoe, 10 miles south of Tahoe City along Highway 89, and encompasses nearly two miles of lake frontage within nearly 2,000 acres of old-growth forest. At the heart of the park stands the Hellman-Ehrman Mansion — known as Pine Lodge — a 12,000-square-foot Queen Anne-style estate built in 1903 as a summer retreat for San Francisco businessman I.W. Hellman, designed by architect Walter Danforth Bliss. California acquired the property in 1965, and the mansion now serves as a museum and the backdrop for private events. Two outdoor event sites are available for weddings, reunions, corporate dinners, farm-to-table gatherings, music events, and festivals. The grounds in front of the mansion can host receptions, performances, and celebrations for up to 100 seated guests, while the lakefront site offers a setting overlooking Lake Tahoe for ceremonies and intimate performances of equal capacity. Events are available June through mid-September, with a dedicated Special Events Coordinator to guide the booking process.

Shadowbrook Restaurant sits on the banks of Soquel Creek in Capitola-by-the-Sea, California, where it has welcomed guests for fine dining and private events since 1947. The restaurant's origins trace to a 1920s log cabin that was discovered, restored over three years, and opened as a 50-seat dining room — growing over the decades to include a hillside cable car (added in 1958), a riverside deck, a wine cellar, and a renovated redwood bar. The venue has been recognized as the "Most Romantic Restaurant" in Northern California by San Francisco Focus readers. For private events, Shadowbrook offers four distinct dining rooms that accommodate gatherings from intimate dinners of 9 to combined receptions of up to 100 guests. The Owner's Private Reserve seats up to 16 guests; the Redwood Room, with its warm redwood walls and views of the chef's herb garden, seats up to 22; the Wine Cellar accommodates up to 37 guests surrounded by the restaurant's wine collection; and the Green House fits 38 to 60 guests in a light-filled space with stained glass windows opening onto the creek-side gardens.

Award-winning cuisine, customizable menus, and an extensive wine program are available for all private events.
