Jessica is very organized, detailed oriented and knowledgeable about everything wedding that she made the whole wedding planning thing seem easy! My fiance and I were so impressed after the initial consultation and knew we had to have her as our planner. Right after we booked OUATE, my fiance and I had a meeting with Jessica and basically told her everything we wanted, what we didn't want and what we dreamed of having but didn't think we could afford. She also had us fill out a questionnaire to get a sense of our style, get to know us and get an idea of what we envision for our dream wedding. After reviewing everything we gave her, she created a design board with everthing we had talked about. I loved how we got to go thourgh and point out what we liked and what we didn't like. This gave us a great sense of what our wedding was going to look like. Since I had a very hard time picking a theme and staying with that direction, this really helped me get on track and focus on one thing at a time. This also really helped me stop stressing and feeling overwhelmed and let me enjoy the wedding planning process. As a bride, I knew I wanted to be involved in the fun stuff but not the boring, budget related stuff. Jessica was amazing at handling all the stuff I didn't want to do or did not know how to do. We gave her our total budget and she planned around that very well and helped us stay on track. She also did all of the orders (which were a ton since we had our wedding at private estate and had to bring everything in) and delt with the most of our vendors. She has a great working relationship with a ton of wedding vendors in Reno that she was able to get things done and get them done fast! And she had wonderful recommendations for our wedding vendors. We loved them all! During the whole wedding planning process Jessica and her sister, Cassie kept us on track and made sure we were getting things done when they needed to be done. I loved how they took all of my ideas and wishes and made them happen without any questions. The whole time, they were professional but so nice and fun to work with! It made wedding planning a lot of fun! The day of the wedding, I had absolutley nothing to worry about. I sat in the house and got ready while Jessica, Cassie and her team set everything up and dealt with all the vendors. The wedding was not too big but the whole production of it was a lot! We had a ton of flowers, a fire pit, a dessert bar, photo booth, a lounge and a ton of details such a signage and personalized items. Jesssica and her team were so organized and executed everything PERFECTLY! It was above and beyond anything I had even imagined. They took my vision to the next level and made it better than I could had ever wished for. Jessica and Cassie kept the wedding on track the whole night and everything went off witthout a hitch. My husband and I nor our wedding party or family had to lift a finger, it was amazing! We got to spend our time enjoying ourselves while OUATE delt with everything else. Jessica, Cassie and the entire OUATE team are amazing!! They made planning our wedding an absolute joy and I would HIGHLY recommend them for wedding and party planning.

I can't have better things to say about Brandie and B&B Designs as wedding florists. From day one,…read moretheir communication was extremely thorough. They accepted and provided pictures to help identify the look I was going for, as well as a written explanation. Their professionalism and precision was seen throughout the entire process, from planning to delivery. When they delivered our wedding day flowers, I was shocked with how beautiful everything was! For my bouquet, I was torn between wildflowers (my style) and a more romantic, classic look. They married the two into a bouquet I had never seen before! My flower crown was done in the style of the traditional haku lei. It was important to me to incorporate this piece into my wedding. Their work was the perfect blend of culture and rustic Lake Tahoe! The cake flowers were perfection - I can't tell you how many guests said that it was the most beautiful cake they had seen. Our centerpieces were above and beyond. They perfectly matched our theme and were the right amount of "big" without being distracting, and the style of the arrangement enhanced the romantic feel of the rest of the centerpieces. My biggest complement has to be the circle arch. My wife and I were torn between something more traditional and something different. The circle arch served as the perfect backdrop for our vows. We were given several suggestions for decoration, and I'm so glad we chose what we did - it was absolutely stunning! The wildflowers they chose were better than what I had in mind, and the colors were exactly the look I was going for. It was like Brandie read my mind! The best part - they were able to take the arch apart and repurpose on our head table for a show-stopping centerpiece. If you're looking for an awesome florist that will work with you, take your ideas and run with them, and help create the most beautiful event, book B&B Designs!

She was upfront about her pricing and helped me bring my vision to life. I didn't even know what I wanted because I'm not familiar with flowers or their names, but after sending her some inspo pics and color pallets, she understood what I was going for. On the day of the wedding, she created a gorgeous flower arch where my husband and I had our first look. I couldn't have pictured it any better. I also added 2 flower crowns last minute to the order and Brandie was able to make them even cuter than the inspo pics I sent her! She even helped me put on the flower crown, which I thought was very sweet of her. Everyone was complimenting the flowers and many guests even asked to take the center pieces home! The flowers were so fresh and great quality that they lasted 2 weeks after the wedding! I would HIGHLY recommend Brandie and her team for anyone looking for florals!! I am one very happy customer! Thank you Brandie!!!

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

From the very beginning, she brought such a calm, confident energy that immediately put me at ease. She is unbelievably organized, endlessly creative, and so thoughtful in every detail. No idea was too big or too small for her to take seriously, and she always made me feel heard and supported. Our entire wedding weekend was seamless because of her and her amazing team. From the Friday welcome party to hiking and golf with our guests, to the wedding itself and the post wedding brunch, every event felt intentional, beautifully executed, and completely stress free. She thought of things I never would have considered and handled every moving piece with such professionalism and grace. What meant the most to me was how detail oriented and thorough she was. I never once felt worried about logistics or timelines. I was able to be fully present and actually enjoy the weekend with our family and friends, which is such a gift. She made everything feel effortless even though I know so much work was happening behind the scenes. Now that the wedding is over, I honestly miss our check ins. I cannot recommend her enough.

I truly can't imagine working with a wedding planner other than Kyleigh…read more Her care, attention to detail, and positivity carried us through a very difficult year, with COVID-19 forcing us to postpone our wedding back in March 2020...5 days before our original wedding date! Kyleigh never panicked and kept the train on the tracks, helping my wife and I focus on what we could control throughout the planning process. What resulted was a wedding better than anything we could have possibly dreamed of! COVID aside, Kyleigh made the process of planning our wedding about as seamless as possible. To start, she is a true swiss army knife for all things wedding related. Kyleigh possesses the technical chops to build a stunning wedding website, the project management skills to execute a FLAWLESS wedding day, and the attentive eye of a designer who can connect your aesthetic from invitation to cake decoration and everything in between. Just as important, Kyleigh has assembled a "dream team" of vendors who combine to make you feel like you're Michael Jordan surrounded by the Chicago Bulls. The florist, photographer, band, etc...they are ALL world-class and they LOVE working with Kyleigh. To top it off, she has an amazing relationship with our venue (The Ritz Carlton, Northstar) so she was able to expedite decisions and make special things happen without us having to stress. Honestly, I don't think we would have had the confidence to get married this year without Kyleigh and her team. It's easy to let paranoia and anxiety make you doubt your ability to execute a wedding during a year like this. But Kyleigh was the right person to assuage our fears and keep us focused on what mattered most, which was getting married surrounded by our closest friends and family in the most beautiful place in the world. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, Kyleigh! Sincerely, Jack Huber

Audere Events was recommended by the venue (Ritz-Carlton), so I quickly scheduled a phone meeting with Kyleigh and Chelsea to see if they were a good match. I was immediately impressed by their professionalism, organization, kindness, and overall passion for event planning. I knew as soon as the phone call ended that I didn't need to interview any other wedding planners. Our wedding date was 2/11/23, and I believe we hired Audere Events at the end of June. I already felt behind in the planning process, but the ladies at Audere assured me that we had plenty of time to make my vision come to life. They weren't wrong! Throughout the entire process I felt supported, heard, encouraged and taken care of. They did everything possible to calm my anxiety. Kyleigh and Chelsea truly cared and I can honestly say I will miss our weekly calls and working with them. As for the wedding day, I did not feel stressed at all - which is a big deal for a naturally anxious person. Kyleigh and Chelsea flawlessly executed the wedding of my dreams. I have never seen such a beautiful wedding. It was truly better than I could have ever imagined. If it doesn't end up in a magazine/website, I will be shocked. If you don't believe me, check out the pictures! Kyleigh and Chelsea (and the rest of the team) I can't say thank you enough! I hope we make it back to Reno so we can meet up . You're the best! Much love, Erin & Bryce

3 stars for the business. 5 stars for Sierra and Robin! Overall, I was very happy with how my…read morewedding turned out. There were some hiccups along the way, but overall, a pretty smooth event. Initially, I was not planning to have a day-of planner because my wedding was at Round Hill Pines, and staff does about 90% of set up. The only thing I really needed help with was decorations. I had enough family and friends willing to help; however, I was going to be 7 months pregnant during the wedding, and I didn't want the added stress of assigning duties to my family and friends and making sure they knew what time to be where, and what to do. Anyway, I hired Plan Your Day, and I was paired up with Sierra. Sierra is awesome. Super approachable, friendly, easy to communicate with, and great to work with. Unfortunately, I had to postpone my wedding due to the Caldor Fire. Sierra said they would roll over my payment to a future date, which was great. Then I am informed in early December 2021 that I'd need to provide a date for my rescheduled wedding by December 31, 2021, or I'd be charged $1,000, or my agreement would be terminated. This was not how the contract is worded. I was rescheduling my wedding, and the Event Rescheduling provision says, "If Client(s) reschedules the Event Date, written notice must be given to the Planner of Client(s)' intention to reschedule the Event Date and if known, identify the new date for the Event ("Rescheduled Event Date")." The contract says, "if known" and I didn't know what the new dates would be when we rescheduled because there was a huge fire in the area. Sharae informed me that she gave me a courtesy of 4 months to provide a new date for my wedding, but the Rescheduling provision does not say when I needed to provide the "rescheduled event date." The contract says, "If Planner is unavailable to perform the Services for the Rescheduled Event Date, then it will be deemed a Termination by Client(s) as outlined below." Either way, Sharae gave me 2 options: A.) Since you have asked for an extension through January or February to provide dates for a rescheduled 2023 wedding. Without a signed written agreement or modified agreement containing 1-2 dates that the wedding will be postponed to, on January 1, 2022, your contract will be considered terminated. But, a new contract will be introduced, signed, and an additional $1000 retainer fee will be applied towards your new event date. This new contract will be signed and due by January 1st to allow for the extended time frame to provide 1-2 rescheduled dates. B.) Without a signed written agreement or modified agreement containing 1-2 dates that the wedding will be postponed to, on January 1, 2022, your contract will be considered terminated and no additional services will be provided. OOOK....with my newly acquired mommy brain, basically, if I didn't have a signed agreement by New Years, I'd either lose my $2,200 that I had already paid or need to pay an additional $1,000. No thank you! I rescheduled my wedding before Sharae's New Years deadline. Fast-forward to 2023 and I'm working with Sierra again, which I was happy about. She was great to work with again, but she seemed to have a lot on her plate. I wasn't too concerned because I had been in close contact with all my vendors already, so I was mainly relying on Sierra for decorations and the ceremony. Unfortunately, Sierra informed me that she would not be there for my wedding, but she did provide me with an amazing replacement - Robin. I was a bit nervous because I never met Robin until the wedding rehearsal, and I didn't know what her background was in event coordination. Robin is superwoman! She handled the flow of the ceremony and kept the wedding events on schedule. A few of the place settings got mixed up, but it wasn't a huge deal. I was also supposed to have 2 people staff my wedding from Plan Your Day, but Sierra said the other person was not available and they could not find a replacement. The issue with that is I paid for 2 vendor meals for Plan Your Day, at $90 per head, and it was too late to deduct a meal. Would I recommend Plan Your Day to others? Unfortunately, I can't say I'd highly recommend Plan Your Day to others, as a business, but I would mention them as a worthwhile company to consider. Did Robin do a fantastic job? Absolutely! I'm not sure if she is a regular employee of Plan Your Day, but I'm glad she was there for my big day!

There is an indoor space and an outdoor space as well as a covered area which sort of combines both. My friend's wedding utilized all of them briefly. I liked all the small touches like signs and decor and I appreciated that they had some sun umbrellas, unfortunately they all had holes in them. We were looking forward to using the photo booth as well but it was not working. There was a miscommunication by the staff and it caused the wedding to begin much later than planned but they allowed my friend more time at the venue because the mistake was theirs so it all worked out in the end. If you are looking at using this venue, I tried to include as many base photos as possible so you can get a good idea of what you will be working with. I would recommend it for smaller, more casual weddings only. There is limited parking and there are only one or two staff members at most so you and your wedding party will be responsible for a lot of what needs doing. If you are on a budget, this could be a great option, but bear in mind you will have to use their designated caterer for any food. Also, if the lavender blooming is important to you, be sure to check that you are scheduling your event for the right time of the year. Overall my friend was happy with her wedding here and I hope all of you who choose this location will be too! Hope this helps : )
