In true pandemic fashion, we had a micro-wedding in 2022. I consider myself to be very organized…read moreand at first, I thought we could skip hiring a coordinator since I only had 28 guests to keep track of..... don't be me, or change your mind like I did and hire Lindsay already! Here is why Lindsay is worth e.v.e.r.y. penny: From the moment I picked up the phone for our consult, Lindsay was on my team. Her warm demeanor instantly makes you feel like you're talking to an old friend or family member. She is organized, professional, and experienced: she knows the ins and outs of the industry and maintains good working relationships with local vendors. Her services range from month-of-coordination to full service wedding/event planning, so she truly can meet every couple's needs. She listens to your vision and gives helpful suggestions along the way that still allows you to feel like your event is a personal one instead of "cookie-cutter" or what the vendor wants.... Something that sets Lindsay apart from other vendors is how she keeps an open line of communication to all of her clients, even if you've booked her for month-of-coordination like I did. Despite being incredibly busy, Lindsay was always willing to answer any of my questions promptly throughout my planning process. She also recommended some truly amazing vendors that we cannot imagine having our wedding without in hindsight. Hiring Lindsay was best decision I made in our 15 months of planning because it wouldn't have all been possible without her. Despite all my efforts planning each individual part of my wedding and hiring my own vendors independently, none of it would have come together cohesively on the day of if Lindsay hadn't been there (since there are always last minute things that don't go EXACTLY as you planned them, like the weather in our case). Lindsay gracefully ensured my other vendors stuck to their timelines and stayed out of each others' way and also helped us pivot our ceremony to indoors at the last minute when the weather took a turn for the worse. There is nothing that can go wrong on your day when you have Lindsay there behind the scenes to create that perfect day of your dreams. Thank you so much, Lindsay, for being part of our best day!!!

My husband and I spent over a year planning and doing research for our wedding since we knew it was…read moregoing to be a semi destination due to where we live. Given COVID and many other restrictions we decided to use a service that included everything in one. When you aren't one of those types of people who want absolute control over the details and don't want a big deal over ceremonies, I highly recommend this. LOTSW has a few different tiers of what they have to offer with their appropriate price points. Due to COVIID and our wedding being elopement style, Rev. Dorie was kind enough to let me customize my package. You will be keeping the price point of course, but she was nice enough to let me swap things like providing my own flowers and trading those fees for more photos instead. I have to say, she captured some of the most incredible moments and I could not have asked for anything better. We got married on 8.26.2021 and it was in the midst of everything bad in S. Lake Tahoe. We originally lost our spot we booked a year in advanced, (Emerald Bay) but Dorie did everything she could to make sure that she was able to find a spot that was still open and available so we did not lose out on the opportunity to get married since it was coming down to the wire. (2 days after we left everyone was evacuated) To chime in with people are saying in regards to Dorie and her attitude. Dorie is a professional and she is a bit older. She has been doing this a long time and she knows what she is doing and how she wants it done. Her issue is with people not listening to her, people not following the instructions they were told, people being in her personal space, and things like that. People tend to not realize that when she is taking pictures, they close in on her because they want to get the shot too and it leaves her no room to move and she has to tell people to please back up over and over. She has to remind people "this is what we are doing or this is where we are going" and after 2 or 3 times yes, the annoyance is on her face and apparent and I honestly don't blame her because it does take a long time. We arent natural models so yes, we dont always get the poses she is asking us to do or what she means and she does get frustrated, I could see she was a bit annoyed with me and my husband because we are not naturals LOL. Overall it was a wonderful experience and she did every and anything she could to make it a great day despite the natural disaster around us. I would highly recommend LOTSW to anyone.

Worst money we spent on our wedding. Liane consistently ignored our budget and provided only one…read moreoverpriced option per category (ex: caterer 60-70% of our total budget, lighting 50-60% of budget etc.)--then told us we needed to contact those vendors to decline them ourselves. We ended up sourcing most of our team independently (caterer, lighting, dessert, photographer, officiant) because she offered no alternatives and little guidance. Her actual contributions were minimal--mainly inputting our own rental lists (often incorrectly) and pushing a florist who was unprofessional and tried to upsell us on unnecessary items. When we raised concerns, she repeatedly got defensive and claimed she limits options to avoid "overwhelming" couples, yet rarely provided more than one choice. On the wedding day, coordination was poor. Guests were directed into the bridal space before the ceremony (the BRIDE had to ask family to be seated...), meaningful décor items provided by family weren't set out as instructed (items all labeled with an clear itemized list), and our photographer and DJ--not the planner--kept the timeline on track. The following day, we had to return to the venue to fix misplaced rental equipment - another job that she failed to do properly without any apology. Our wedding turned out beautifully despite her involvement--not because of it. I would NOT recommend hiring her.

If you're looking for an alternative to a traditional church wedding or simply want a unique and beautiful place to say your vows, I highly recommend The Arch. As a bonus, even though there is a private beach nearby, most people stay on the far side. We couldn't hear or notice them during the ceremony, so it still felt peaceful and private.

We were supposed to go to Hawaii for their wedding but bc of covid concerns we weren't able to make that happen. Although everything didn't turn out the way we all wanted, and after all careful consideration of places to get married, they stumbled upon Tahoe and this beautiful venue. The location of the ceremony is perfect for that beach feel! And the reception is just right across the street! How convenient (: Decorated their arch and made it as close to Hawaiian vibes as possible. I'm glad it was the perfect size though bc I'm 5 ft. And it was difficult enough to reach the top of the arch but thankfully I had family's help so it all worked out well. I left all this stuff in the reception area at the landings so I was bummed about that bc I never got a call back to see if they'd found it but that's okay! It totally slipped my mind bc it was having too much fun that I forgot to bring the rest of my stuff LOL Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs Asido! After changing the dates 2 times they were able to finally make it happen! 2020 is truly a trip!

I could go on for days raving about their service -- this team was genuine, kind, understanding and PATIENT. My (now) husband and I had so many questions (mostly me), even last minute changes leading up to the wedding and this team did not miss a beat and they did it all with kindness. We were also impressed with their pricing - it was affordable and their wedding packages just make sense! I also love that they had great vendors to recommend as well. Special shout-out to Rachel who they brought in as our photographer (her work is INCREDIBLE). Seriously love this team and cannot recommend them enough! If you're getting married and even remotely considering The Hytch - look no further!

We originally opted for a courthouse wedding, but quickly realized we wanted to do more to honor our beautiful seven-year relationship and include the people who mean most to us. THIS is where The Hytch came in and created a PERFECT day for us, our daughters (one human, one canine), and 19 of our closest loved ones. From the start, Gina was a warm and knowledgeable coordinator. She covered every detail I hadn't thought of and provided creative options at every turn. She enthusiastically accommodated every unique idea I threw at her, as long as it was anything short of impossible! Leading up to the wedding, I spent most of my time pinning down the details of our music playlist, outfits, and vows. Any other stressor was out of mind and covered by Gina; at most, it just required a quick answer on what would work best for my husband and me. Day-of, though?! Oh my god. Beyond! This team KNOWS what they're doing. I showed up a little later than I had hoped (typical), and they supported me in regaining time to prepare like the true pros they are. Gina and Mackenzie handled EVERYTHING--most of it being invisible to me, I'm sure. They totally GOT my vision and created an event that I still can't believe was real. I honestly think they could become professional cat herders if they wanted to--they're that amazing! As our officiant, Darren helped ease our nerves with humor and liveliness. He took every note we gave him to heart and delivered a service that our guests said was THEIR FAVORITE CEREMONY EVER!!! Of course I'm biased, but our family and friends have a history of being brutally honest. I can tell you it was definitely our favorite wedding ever, though. And then there is the GLORY that is Ashleigh, our photographer. She took the art (I'm calling my wedding art!) we created with the help of Gina, Mackenzie, and Darren and turned it into something we can keep and share forever. You know how sometimes you wish you could SHOW your dreams to other people? If anyone can work magic like that, it's Ashleigh. On a slightly more grounded note, this was our first time doing a couples' shoot. I don't think I've had professional photos done since school, and of course I spent a lot of time fretting over how I would look. I went into this feeling a little anxious, a little insecure, and a lot clueless. If that's you: do NOT worry! Ashleigh has your back and will turn you into a supermodel. Like I said... magic. My final shout-out goes to the venue itself. For us, it being local was a huge plus. Reno is home, and Sierra Water Gardens is very close to our actual house! I'm usually very expressive, but there's just no point in trying to describe the beauty of the SWG spot. It's breath-taking. Thank you to the whole team for your incredible work and the shining personalities you shared with us. Thank you for allowing us to celebrate in what has become my favorite spot in Reno (and maybe the world?). There is a reason The Hytch has such good reviews. If I hear the words "wedding planning" ever again, I'm going to MAKE SURE The Hytch enters the conversation. They will give you the wedding you want, and deserve! Kylie and Ryan -- Married 4.18.26

His communications with us were flawless. Our officiant, the Reverend Ronald Z. Sayed, was the consummate professional in terms of experience, personal warmth.
