The Hytch Team is truly the DREAM TEAM!! Heart-felt thanks to Gina, Yeliz during the planning and…read moreMackenzie and Zari for the day-of coordination and execution -- This team did a PHENOMENAL job! 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!

When my now-HUSBAND and I first started to plan, we knew we didn't have the financial or mental…read morefortitude for a large, traditional wedding. 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

Over the years I have gotten to know her personally and I am happy to tell you that nothing has changed on how I feel about Carol. Each and every wedding is a different experience. She takes the time to learn about her couples, add their story to her readings and create a one of a kind experience. It isnt uncommon to see Carol post 3-4 selfies a day with wedding couples. She is busy and fully sought out for good reason. Being a vendor myself I get to interact with her before and during a wedding. She is gold. If you are here looking to see if she fits your wedding... She does. Book her. Be happy!

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.

They were very kind and willing to help. Communication about 3 weeks ago became spotty, only to find out that last week, poor Bev had an issue with her heart and was rushed into emergency surgery. Rightfully so, I haven't heard anything since. But to those who are being nasty about this, if you call to confirm and there's no answer, move on and find a different place instead of waiting until day of to get mad about it. The staff here are, at the very least, LIKE family and they are all trying to process what this could mean. Be kind. When the chapel comes back up (god willing), the 1 star review because of a legitimate health concern could take even more from this family that is just trying to figure out their next step.
