It boasts a beautiful cascade and these tiny bridges that took you along a path of their garden oasis to then view the Truckee. The seating was adequate, maybe it could accommodate up to100 people. It had small almost hut like buildings for lack of a better word which served as a bar area where drinks were served, seating for dining and 2-3 places specifically designated for couples to take great photos, but the grounds itself was plenty. It's one of those places I'd say, it doesn't feel like Reno, it's what you would come to expect from spots that feel like you go on a vacation without leaving town. No pictures here, simply to honor the bridge, groom and their guest, but look up The Hytch and check it out. Maybe refer a couple that's been in a holding pattern forever. It's sure to change their mind.

She gave us a questionnaire that was fun to go through and really helped us to shape our ceremony to our liking. There are tons of options available for every single piece of the ceremony. The questionnaire also allows Carol to get to know us and pull together a picture of who we are as a couple. She then used the questionnaire and provided a full outline of our ceremony. My (now) husband and I, read this out loud and were able to imagine our ceremony. Carol did an amazing job representing our story. Day of Rehearsal, she was orderly and guided us through with ease. We were able to work through any kinks and ask questions. Day of the wedding, she truly brought the magic! She has such charm and wit. Everyone laughed, everyone cried, we even had a few special moments that included our guests in the ceremony, and Carol worked with our officiant and DJ to coordinate everything. Needless to say, if you want someone who is a professional in the wedding industry, who's charming and humorous during the ceremony, and who is not only easy to work with but will be able to bring your vision to life, book with Carol!!

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.

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.

We were supposed to go to Hawaii for their wedding but bc of covid concerns we weren't able to make that happen.

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!
