My daughter and her fiancé wanted an intimate, simple wedding with just a few family members. They did not want to fuss over lots of details or be stressed by making sure everythi...
ng was ready on the day of the wedding. The Hytch was the perfect solution, providing a scenic oasis on the bank of the Truckee River for the event, and just the important services of a planner, an officiant and a photographer to make the wedding go smoothly. Gina was very responsive throughout the planning process and made it easy for my daughter and her fiancé. On the wedding day, the Sierra Water Garden was beautiful and peaceful, even in mid-winter (I can imagine it is stunning in the summer). The little house on-site provided a quiet, warm place for my daughter to get ready, and for the couple to have a few minutes of privacy after the ceremony and before the family photos (by the way, the house, newly remodeled and beautifully decorated, is available as an AirBnB – I recommend it for the night before and/or after a wedding, or for any couple just wanting a romantic retreat). Gina gently and efficiently directed the flow of the wedding, the officiant Darren did a great job with the ceremony, and Ashleigh the photographer took amazing photos before, during and after. If you are looking for a small, sweet wedding with minimum fuss and maximum love, I highly recommend the Hytch and the Sierra Water Garden.
P.S. Be sure to check out the plant store across the street, run by the owners of the Sierra Water Garden – it is amazing. We bought the newlywed a gorgeous plant, in a decorative pot with an “Always Love” ceramic ornament adorning it, as a memento of their special day.

Ashleigh thank you for the stunning photos, I’m absolutely obsessed. They are beautiful and you made this day so fun and perfect!
When we pictured our dream wedding, we imagined something intimate, magical, and stress-free — and that’s exactly what we got at The Hytch at Sierra Water Gardens.
We loved that w...
e didn’t have to travel to Tahoe or elope somewhere far away just to have a beautiful setting. This venue is truly a hidden paradise in Reno. It’s quiet, lush, and tucked away from the chaos of the city, yet close enough to home that we never had to stress about logistics.
From day one, Yeliz made us feel completely taken care of. She has this calm, confident energy that instantly puts you at ease. She’s full of creative ideas and had a solution or vendor connection for everything we dreamed up. We knew right away we were in the best hands.
Planning was a breeze thanks to Gina, our amazing coordinator. She checked in often, answered every question without hesitation, and truly held our hand as the big day approached. She made all the nerves disappear.
And then… the wedding day. We walked in and saw our vision fully brought to life - even more beautifully than we imagined. We still don’t know how Yeliz and her team pulled off everything so perfectly. We never had to worry about decorating or coordinating; we simply showed up and enjoyed our day, as did all our guests.
Getting married here was the second easiest “yes” we’ve ever made - the first was saying yes to each other. ❤️
Thank you, Yeliz, Gina, and the entire team at The Hytch at Sierra Water Gardens. You didn’t just give us a wedding — you gave us a memory we’ll cherish forever.

nd she made the whole process of getting married so seamless. Great communication, and answered all my questions immediately. The fact that they go off your Pinterest and use that to bring your ‘vision’ to life is amazing. I want to go back and do it over and over. If you’re thinking about a smaller wedding don’t hesitate to reach out to The Hytch, they were truly over the top.
My husband and I used the hytch for our wedding last week, we could not have been more pleased with the services provided! They exceeded all our expectations. The hytch was very co...
mmunicative via phone and email for months leading to the wedding. Every staff member there was amazing and we could not have been happier with our choice to use the Hytch as part of our special day!
My husband and I got engaged in October of 2024 and planned to get married summer of 2026. At random we decided to tour the beautiful location of The Hytch at Sierra Water Gardens ...
and we fell in love with it! The amazing Yeliz and Gina told us that they had an opening in July of 2025, and we were nervous about moving up the date so significantly. The Hytch at SWG team (Ashleigh, Yeliz, and Gina) absolutely made it happen and absolutely exceeded expectations! They supported us every step of the way, and brought my vintage garden wedding dreams to life! I started my new job as a nurse the week of my wedding, and they took all of the stress off of me! They helped me incorporate my vintage china and vintage thrifted glasses into the wedding, and used my grandmother’s crocheted tablecloth that she had made for me prior to her passing in the most beautiful and memorable way! Ashleigh was the most personable photographer with so much knowledge in her field! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable and got our sneak-peak images to us in less than 3 hours after the ceremony! The team was in charge of picking the florals and decorating, and myself, my husband, and our guests were blown away! I told Gina I planned to get my bouquet preserved, so she ensured they were kept safe and in water! My husband and I forgot to get the fruit for our planned “Summer berry water”, and Gina went out of her way to go to the store and get fruit, which did not go unnoticed and was so kind of her! We look through slideshows of our photos regularly and reminisce on how perfect our wedding was. We would absolutely recommend this venue and this team to anyone, we are already brainstorming ways to book this location for future events! Thank you The Hytch at SWG team!
The Hytch experience is difficult to sum up in just 3500 characters! The professionalism, the dedication, care and commitment emanated by this team is so delightfully enchanting t...
hat one forgets that they are having an elopement! Our wedding felt as organic and natural as the one we originally planned for, and if I had to do it again, with this team, I’d repeat it 100 times over. My wife & I gave up on our initial venue due to the unrealistic pricing expectations and limitation on what we were and were not allowed to do. One might assume that if a venue + food is the same price as a down payment for a home, creative freedom would be automatic.
We found the Hytch immediately upon deciding that an elopement instead of a traditional wedding would be the correct course of action for us. The Hytch team created a majestic and unforgettable experience tailored to our wedding fantasy and desires to perfection. Skylandia Park encompassed all of the charm and beauty we had hoped for in an outdoors and beautiful but natural venue, and the Hytch team went above and beyond to ensure our day went off worry and stress free. Communication with The Hytch was seamless. My wife & I never felt any pressure during the planning phase, and they were always willing to accommodate us, and we're incredibly sympathetic to our previously botched experiences with our initial wedding venue. Gina & Mackenzie are sweet, considerate, and organically thoughtful people. To sum up our experience with the team, you can tell they are decent and kind individuals, that are in the business of creating perfect and memorable experiences for people that desire an affordable but still unforgettable wedding experience. They pour themselves into their work, and they become vested in you and your day. In this day and age, it is difficult to find such individuals and we are truly thankful to have found them in our time of need.
The officiant, Gregg Katz, is an honest and upfront person. When he called us to introduce himself and begin to understand our story, he was very candid. He let us know who he was, demonstrated his character through our phone conversation, and even provided advice. He was entirely understanding of us wanting to implement an old family tradition of, “Jumping the broom,” and was even curious and open to it. While I was nervous at the altar, he passed the time providing advice and used his own experiences to make the ceremony lighter, as I was becoming a bit of a nervous wreck before my bride arrived. (Thanks Gregg, I appreciate it man!)
Finally, we come to our photographer. I would find it difficult to believe there is another individual who loves her job as much as Ashleigh does. She made us laugh, kept us comfortable, and took beautiful shots of us throughout our wedding, and during our first moments as husband and wife. She too was entirely vested in our experience and made us feel like the center of the universe on our big day. We had a blast and I definitely recommend her as a photographer not only professional ability but personality and character!
If we had to choose again, whether I would choose to do an elopement with The Hytch, or go with a more traditional option, I’d choose The Hytch team in an instant. These folks deserve all the blessings they’ll definitely receive, and I hope The Hytch continues to prosper and grow! Aslo, Gina, thank you for helping us with our wedding license situation as well! We'd have been lost without your help!
Gina and her team handled everything for us … the grounds were absolutely amazing, all the decor was on point, the photographer made us feel very comfortable and the pictures are g...
orgeous. The officiant was wonderful as well and everyone was so helpful and kind - it was truly an amazing experience and we are grateful for how it all turned out. Thank you!!!
A Dream Wedding Come True – Thanks to TheHytch!
Our wedding at The Sierra Water Gardens in October 2024 was nothing short of magical, and we owe it all to the incredible team at...
TheHytch. From the very first meeting to the final moments of our special day, they exceeded every expectation, ensuring that our wedding was seamless, breathtaking, and truly unforgettable. Their professionalism, creativity, and dedication were evident in every aspect of the planning and execution. We couldn't have asked for a better team to bring our vision to life!
A huge thank you to Yeliz, the mastermind behind every stunning detail. Her meticulous attention to design and decor transformed our venue into an enchanting, romantic setting beyond our wildest dreams. Every element—from the florals to the tablescape—was carefully curated, creating an atmosphere that perfectly reflected our love story. Yeliz’s expertise and passion for wedding design were evident in every corner of our celebration, making it a truly awe-inspiring experience for us and our guests.
We also had the absolute pleasure of working with Ashleigh, our phenomenal photographer. From the moment we met, she made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. Her ability to capture the most intimate, joyful, and candid moments was truly remarkable. She not only provided us with breathtaking photos that we will cherish forever but also made the entire process feel fun, natural, and effortless. If you’re looking for a photographer who genuinely cares about your experience, Ashleigh is the one!
Another heartfelt thank you goes to Okan, whose dedication to design placement and implementation brought everything together flawlessly. His keen eye for aesthetics and hands-on approach ensured that every piece of decor was perfectly placed, creating a seamless flow throughout the venue. His hard work behind the scenes did not go unnoticed, and we are beyond grateful for his contributions in making our wedding vision a reality.
If you are searching for a wedding company that is professional, detail-oriented, and genuinely passionate about creating beautiful moments, we cannot recommend TheHytch enough! Their team went above and beyond to ensure that our day was stress-free, visually stunning, and full of love. Thank you, Yeliz, Ashleigh, Okan, and the entire team for making our wedding day an absolute dream come true!

If you want a seamless wedding day you need to book with the Hytch! Yeliz assisted us with the timeline and vendor recommendations and kept us on track leading up to the wedding. ...
Not to mention this was a destination wedding with everything getting booked sight unseen so there was a lot more stress and factors. Gina assisted with our rehearsal as well as the day of coordination. My husband and I got married at Tahoe Blue Estate and their familiarity with the venue helped as well! The day went absolutely perfect thanks to Gina and her team! Once I got into hair and makeup in the morning I was completely hands off. Gina took care of all of the vendors coming in and out and all
I had to do was get pretty and enjoy our special day as I anticipated. It was a stress free day which was amazing!! The decorations were BEAUTIFUL and exceeded my expectations. We can’t recommend the Hytch enough! We are so thankful for their amazing work!
THEE BEST! We heard about The Hytch through a coworker of mine who also got married with their company. We met via phone call with the owner, Yeliz and she was so informative o wha...
t they had to offer! They had so many different and unique packages to pick from. We got married on 9/22/2024 at their venue site in Reno, NV. But it is worth mentioning that they also do smaller ceremonies in Tahoe in the woods or on the water too! It was a tough decision because everywhere they could do a ceremony was just beautiful. Gina helped from start to finish with the planning and was so flexible with us in regards to payment and all the crazy continuous questions I had. They set up AND took down the decorations I had brought my dream wedding to life! We even added their photo booth option which my guests loved! They helped with recommendations on literally everything! We’re not from the area so it was hard to know where to get certain things from (appetizers, photography, hair & make up). It came out way better than I could have imagined. The venue is a plant nursery so it’s lush and green and right on the Truckee River. Like you can sit and watch the water go by! The trees help to provide shade and just a natural beauty so you don’t even need that much decor. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t change a thing. A lot of my guests have already reach out to me to say how beautiful everything was. Our pups were able to be apart of our special day too! They have a house where the bridal party can get ready too! I would 100% recommend The Hytch if you’re planning your big day! The price was amazing for everything we got. So happy we had the intimate wedding that we did. Thank you Yeliz & Gina!
We are so happy that we hosted our wedding ceremony and reception with The Hytch at Sierra Water Gardens. After searching for a venue for our 30-guest wedding, we struggled to find...
a venue happy to host a small wedding. At the suggestion of a friend, we contacted Sierra Water Gardens - and they welcomed us with open arms. The Hytch team has been amazing to work with throughout the entire process, and made things so easy for us along the way. The team made our vision a reality purely from one Pinterest board showing decor ideas and colors. Having the Hytch handle decorations removed a huge load off our shoulders, and everything looked amazing. They had great coordination throughout the planning process, rehearsal, and wedding itself. They worked with our vendors and received our deliveries (cake, dancefloor) on our behalf. During our wedding, the team was lovely and supportive. They kept us on schedule and made all of the “background elements” happen. As the bride and groom, we were able to just relax, experience, and enjoy our day without having to worry about making anything happen. We highly recommend this venue. The setting is gorgeous, the Hytch team pulled out all the stops to bring our vision to life, they made everything so easy on us, and were amazing to work with throughout.

rything was perfect, and it was all thanks to Yeliz, Megan, Gina, Ashleigh, and their incredible team.
The communication, professionalism, and kindness throughout the planning process was exceptional. Every question was answered promptly, and every concern was addressed with the utmost care. It truly felt like we had a friend guiding us every step of the way.
What really stood out to us was how personal everything felt. The attention to detail and the genuine care for making our day special were evident in every aspect. The decor was absolutely spectacular - it was more beautiful than we could have ever imagined, creating the perfect backdrop for our wedding.
Our guests haven't stopped talking about the magic of the day, and the charm of the venue - including the unexpected thundershower that was perfectly timed for right after the ceremony. A welcomed cool down in the 100+ degree heat!
We couldn't have asked for a better venue or a more dedicated team. If you're looking for a place that will go above and beyond to make your wedding day unforgettable, you found it. We love you guys!!

rried right by Lake Tahoe and also add a hike. If you’re thinking about doing a hike, think no further and just do it. You won’t regret it. The Hytch even hiked theirselves and sent pics and videos to us to make sure we liked the area prior to us arriving from Pittsburgh, PA. The communication and attention to detail was excellent! We can’t recommend this team enough and thank them from the bottom of our hearts for making our moment so special. It tailored to what we were looking for and would relive this day the exact same way over & over. We worked with Yeliz, Jason, and Ashleigh. They also provided us with a hair and makeup artist they recommend, mebeautyhairandmaleup and they nailed it! They were the most genuine and organic humans. We described how we wanted our moment to look and Ashleigh captured it in the most precious way. We even received sneak peak photos the very next day! Overall, just great people working here. We’ll never forget our wedding day. You will not regret choosing The Hytch!

10/10 these wonderful ladies really are professionals at what they do!

I’m beyond satisfied with our wedding!

more on top it it because of THEIR efforts. Darren had a fabulously created personal sermon that reflects who we were as a couple. He's light and funny and just plain amazing. Turned our certificate in early next morning and it was ready for us by noon! And please please please request Ashleigh photography! She is such a great poser and had us smiling and laughing all the way through. We had 33 sneak peek photos ready for us the next morning as well! Thank you so much to Meghan who was willing to video the whole wedding from my cell phone. I already miss my day already, it went so fast! Guys, you can't go wrong. This is Reno's best kept hidden secret. <3

When my husband and I got engaged, we started the process for a big church wedding and reception, but quickly realized that we wanted an intimate ceremony that we could enjoy with ...
our family. We met in the Reno area a few years ago and decided to continue our story there, so I started researching elopement options there. I quickly came across The Hytch and we couldn't be more pleased and thankful that we went through them! Yeliz and her team were incredibly professional and made our day special and easy for us. They coordinated everything from the location, the officiant, the flowers, the photography, and even had recommendations for hair and makeup which were also incredible. The team is responsive and answered all of my questions so quickly and thoroughly! If you are considering a small ceremony or elopement, contact The Hytch immediately, you won't regret it! Our special day was perfect thanks to The Hytch!
If you're having a small wedding, stop looking and BOOK The Hytch! I randomly came across their website when I was searching for small wedding venues in Lake Tahoe and knew right a...
way I was going to use their services, especially after seeing nothing but 5 star reviews everywhere. There's a reason they have 5 star reviews, they are the best at what they do. The booking process was easy and not complicated. Coordinators keep in touch with you throughout the totality of the wedding planning. The packages are flexible and customizable and very fairly priced for what you get. Yeliz (the owner) is the nicest human being and her team is just phenomenal. I worked with Shayla and Jason (Officiant) for the ceremony and they were the sweetest souls. Jason has a calming presence about him and made me feel so grounded.. I can't put my finger on it but he's a special one. I needed to accommodate my father who is partially handicap and Yeliz pulled off a beautiful location with easy walking access. I cannot say enough good things about The Hytch. They really have a great business model and I wish them all nothing but the best in the future!

d capture our love and commitment to each other. Enter "The Hytch," a local gem that specializes in one-stop elopement packages. From the moment we contacted them to the last seconds of our magical day, they exceeded our expectations in every way.
Effortless Planning: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Hytch's team made the entire planning process effortless. They have strong connections with local vendors, and their expertise in curating elopement packages is evident. We didn't have to spend countless hours researching and contacting different vendors because The Hytch had it all covered.
Exceptional Vendor Team: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The heart and soul of any wedding are the people behind the scenes, and we were lucky to have a remarkable team of vendors handpicked by The Hytch. The florist, officiant, and photographer they chose for us were not only professionals in their fields but also genuinely lovely individuals who made us feel comfortable and cared for.
The flowers were breathtakingly beautiful, matching our vision perfectly. The officiant delivered a heartfelt and personalized ceremony that had us and our small group of guests in tears of joy. The photographer captured every emotion and moment so beautifully, creating memories we'll cherish forever.
Stunning Venue: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Our elopement took place at Sierra Water Gardens, a venue that left us in awe. The serene natural beauty of this location created the perfect backdrop for our intimate ceremony. The picturesque setting, complete with a serene pond and lush greenery, added a touch of magic to our special day. The Hytch's choice of venue was impeccable, and we couldn't have asked for a more enchanting setting.
Stress Relief: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of the most significant benefits of choosing The Hytch was the stress relief they provided. Wedding planning can be overwhelming, but The Hytch took care of all the details, allowing us to focus on the love we share rather than worrying about logistics. Their impeccable organization and attention to detail ensured that everything ran smoothly, from start to finish once we arrived.
Everything the day of our wedding seemed to be going wrong: street paving (our guests couldn't meet us at our home), mising suit pieces and to top it all off our van we retned to shuttle us broke down. I was in constant commuication with The Hytch team and they assured me everything was going to be OK and the team/venue was still there waiting for us. When we finally arrived at our venue, the stress instantly melted away.
In conclusion, choosing The Hytch for our elopement was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Their commitment to creating an intimate, stress-free, and beautiful experience is unparalleled. We are forever grateful to them for making our special day truly magical. If you're considering eloping in the area, do yourself a favor and reach out to The Hytch. They will turn your elopement dreams into a reality.
This tucked away hidden gem is breathtaking. Nothing beats the ambiance of the place. As for the day of our wedding it stopped raining about 35 min before right our ceremony and it...
made it for a perfect evening. Right when I walked into the venue I couldn’t help, but tear up with joys of happiness. From the planning to the execution of our wedding everything was executed flawlessly. The Hytch team nailed every detail I had asked for. Yeliz and Abbie put my mind at ease. They are the most kind loving people I have dealt with. Additionally, if you are looking for a photographer the Hytch has Ashleigh on their vendor list and I highly recommend her. I am not a person who enjoys her pictures taken and her spunky, fun loving personality made everything so seamless.

I can't rave enough about The Hytch! Such a BEAUTIFUL venue and the team was so easy to work with. They made our day stress free and kept great communication with us leading up to ...
the wedding day so I had no unanswered questions or details left not thought of by the wedding. The florals were perfect and the team ran our music perfectly and coordinated those walking down the aisle. We had our dogs as part of our wedding and The Hytch team made them feel so welcomed and loved. We didn't want all options of the wedding package so they made us a customized plan with the options that we did want and removed those we didn't want. Seriously can't say enough good things!! If you're looking for a small, intimate, BEAUTIFUL wedding venue, look no further than The Hytch!
Addie and The Hytch team were so thougthful, oriented to details, kind and really made our dream come true. My now husband and I decided to elope after a decade of being together. ...
We were looking for a small ceremony that felt personal and decided to transform our then ski trip vacation into a trip we’ll never forget. After much online research on “where/how to elope in Lake Tahoe”, The Hytch stood out to us because of the warmth shown in their photos, the beautiful details like the setting and the flowers and the variety of elopements which showed personalized details for each couple. Addie was always quick to respond and we clicked beautifully since our first call. She is so sweet, reassuring and helped us even with tips that went beyond their scope whenever we asked, like Hair & Makeup options, Breweries and Restaurants to consider. I was able to send her moodboards of what we envisioned for location/flowers/photo style which truly came to life on that special day. The flowers were beautiful. I even had a custom flower crown made by same team which I loved. The location was perfect, surrounded by nature and easy to get there. Addie and Ahleigh (the photographer) were awesome, so kind and with such good energy. The whole day was so special, I can’t help but smile remembering. And our pictures… I’m in awe each time I see them. I’m SO THANKFUL we found you guys!
I can't say enough amazing things about The Hytch. I found them on Instagram when I knew we wanted to get married in Lake Tahoe. Since we live in Maryland, it was quite daunting to...
plan a wedding across the country. Once I found Addie and The Hytch, it was like all the pieces fell into place. Through them we found our venue, photographer (thank you Ashleigh!) and hair and makeup (thank you Savannah!) vendors. It was a breeze planning with them and Addie was so responsive to all of my questions and concerns. The decor and flowers they provided were unreal. The entire day was more beautiful than I could have ever dreamed because of the attention to detail and care from Addie and team. I can't thank The Hytch, Ashleigh and Savannah enough for making everything about our wedding so special!
Still reeling over my amazing wedding day that would not have been possible without the work from the Hytch. Communication was so easy and the officiating, photography and florals ...
they provided were absolute perfection! We knew we wanted a small wedding and as our plans/dates adjusted, they were there to help everything run smoothly and cater to our needs. I can’t recommend this company enough. Special shout out to Addie who was my main coordinator and officiant. The ceremony felt so incredibly special and I’m so grateful for the memories they have given me. Photography Brittany Sierra Photography. Florals Galena Forest Flowers.
Darren was amazing at helping us write our vows (this was going to be my hardest thing to write, not that I didn't know what to day, but how to get my word on paper and out of my m...
outh without mumbling around would be the hardest part). He was so responsive and gave so many pointers and links to help us write our vows also. On the day of, his speak was a surprise and turned out amazing. We picked a few things we wanted in our vows but he put everything together so nicely and we couldn't have been happier. Thanks again Darren for all your help!
Although I am still speechless from my wedding I will articulate as best as I can. The Hytch was worth every penny and their service goes above and beyond anything I could have exp...
ected. I worked with Addie and she is so patient and kind. Every detail we had discussed was executed perfectly. They made sure I was comfortable and did not rush me through it. If you are contemplating eloping or a small ceremony this is the way to go. You will have the best of both worlds with all the memories and details of a big wedding without having to stress about the details and the Hytch helping you execute the perfect intimate ceremony. Ashleigh was our photographer I don't know if she handles all of them but would recommend you request her. I can't say enough good things about this place! AMAZING!! Their attention to detail is shown through the entire process.
The Hytch absolutely exceeded our expectations. Yeliz and her team know what they're doing when it comes to planning, decorating, and running the show. Our ceremony/reception set u...
p was spot on and an absolute dream. They truly made our vision come to life and exceeded all of our expactations. We remember seeing our reception area for the first time and were completely overwhelmed with disbelief. It was so prefect, down to every little detail. Going back through our wedding pictures we are still in awe.
We were set up with Darren as our officiant and we absolutely loved him. He was perfect for our ceremony and made us feel comfortable and at ease. We didn't want a super traditional or serious ceremony, so he tailored it to our personalities and brought in just the right amount of humor.
We recommend Yeliz and her team to any couple who wants to make their wedding day a dream come true.
Our experience with The Hytch was TOP NOTCH! There is a reason they've been voted Best of Weddings and Couple's Choice for a couple years now- and they're just up & coming! The Hyt...
ch team is comprehensive and super responsive. They are not over-complicated... they strive to individualize your experience in the simplest way possible. The team provided the best photographer, Rachel with @Renogotphotography, florist and Officiant. Our wedding was perfect at Skylandia State Park in N.Lake Tahoe, thank you The Hytch!!!
I cannot say enough about this amazing place & the kindhearted people who make the magic happen here. I have been fortunate to have attended half a dozen events in this spectacular...
secret garden over the past years. As a close friend of several who have married and hosted guests in this intimate space, I have been involved in helping plan the elaborate details The Hytch has executed with perfection! I have consistently been impressed with the level of care, detail and generosity both Yeliz and Addie invest in each client and their vision. I hope to be back to this gorgeous little oasis very soon!!
I don't even know where to begin when I am trying to explain my experience with The Hytch. Let me start off by saying; I can not say ONE negative thing about them. I would not have...
changed a SINGLE thing about my wedding day- and that is saying A LOT when you put your wedding in someone else's hands. I was extremely stressed out trying to plan my own wedding. Then I came across The Hytch. I felt a sense of peace come over me when I started looking at their Instagram. I'm getting chills as I write this. We realized that we just wanted our closest friends and family together for a micro wedding. Yeliz was so kind and helpful and willing to do whatever we wanted. I changed days, times, places, packages that they offer, SEVERAL times. They never batted an eye! They never once made me feel like I was being indecisive (which is WAS) or that I was bothering them with all of my questions. I started looking more at their other Instagram page, which is "The Hytch At The Sierra Water Garden". Again, that feeling of peace came over me and I literally envisioned my whole wedding and I had not done that or had that feeling with any of the 10 other venues I had looked at! While waiting for my wedding, my only real responsibilities were to make my music playlist (they provided sound and a device to play the music from), and making a Pinterest Board. I had never been to the garden, I had never met any of these women, I have never been IN a wedding, so I really didn't know what to expect. You would never know that right in the middle of Reno this beautiful diamond in the ruff of a venue would be just tucked away against a river. When you are at the garden you forget where you are. This was important to me as a small country town girl, being in a city. For the third time, I had the sense of peace come over me and I knew I had picked the perfect place and the perfect option to get married through the Hytch. For the next 24 hours I had little to no stress leading up to the wedding. Once the wedding started, Addy (one of the Hytch girls) took over! She did not miss a beat. When I tell you that my day was perfect, I mean that whole heartedly and she was a HUGE reason why. She and the girl working with her were SO helpful. They followed me around helping with my dress, kept us on schedule with the sequence of events I was so nervous about, were so kind to everyone and just absolute ANGELS. They completely exceeded my expectations. The tables and decor were absolutely perfect. Addy was our officiant and she was perfect. We didn't have to worry about a THING. The photographer with the Hytch that we had the pleasure of having (Ashleigh) was equally as amazing. If I had the chance, I truly would not change a thing. If you are looking to elope, or have a wedding that is short and sweet, but still so special, this is the best thing you could do. I know that the more people who find out about them will travel to have an experience like mine, because it was just incredible. From beginning to the very end, it couldn't have been more perfect. Literally a FRACTION of the cost, stress, work, effort, all of the negative things that so many people dread about weddings. I will be forever grateful to The Hytch. Beautiful people, beautiful venue, beautiful creative table setup and decor, beautiful vows during the ceremony, I just can't say it enough. Perfect. Thank you to The Hytch, for a day we will never forget and will always treasure. You are angels on earth!!
I would like to thank The Hytch for such an amazing experience. Let me share my life with you. My future father in law was diagnosed with terminal cancer and I knew that it was imp...
ortant that he saw his only son get married before he left us. I was limited on time and I came across The Hytch. I wanted something simple and elegant, easy and beautiful. With the stress of what our family was going through, I didn’t have time to plan a wedding. All the planning that I did was within weeks. Sadly, 18 days after getting diagnosed, I lost my future father in law. With respect to my future mother in law, I asked if we should still proceed with the wedding and she said absolutely! That’s when The Hytch came in. They were empathetic, compassionate and understanding. I arrived to the property 30 minutes before the ceremony. They had a bridal suite where you could get ready. The officiant, Darren, came to the bridal suite just to confirm the wedding vows and he was funny and sweet. He also asked in honor of my father in law, that a empty chair be placed next to my future mother in law during the ceremony. As a bride, I had to hold back my tears. I didn’t want to look like a raccoon during the ceremony. LOL I asked Ashleigh, the photographer, for her artistic touch. She was brilliantly amazing! What I do know is that I am only going to get married once and as a bride, it’s difficult to make everything perfect. The Hytch made my wedding dreams come true. I would like to thank Molly, Abbey, Darren and Ashleigh. Thank you for making my day very special and beautiful.
Sincerely,
Devine Couple💕

We were looking forward to an intimate wedding and the courthouse didn’t sound enticing. The experience provided by The Hytch was perfect. Megan was very helpful in guiding us thro...
ugh package options, flowers, settings, helping us quickly narrow down how our wedding would look. Addie walked us through a few questions that ensured our vows reflected our style; she was our officiant and made the ceremony feel magical. Yeliz arranged the wedding setting as though she had known us for years. Ashleigh was our marvelous photographer that was patient, funny, creative, and exceptionally skilled. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The Hytch team is very professional with great attention to detail, supportive, and fun.
Enough good things cannot be said about The Hytch team and the lovely Sierra Water Gardens venue. We started planning a July micro wedding in March, and it was so easy working with...
them! We gave minimal direction, and they produced a stunning wedding for us. They coordinated with a florist, Galena Forest Flowers, who created an absolutely stunning bouquet, flower crowns, boutineer and arch decorations. And our table for 17 was perfect with the settings. The venue alone is stunning, with many options for seating throughout, even down by the river. Our wedding fell on a very hot day, but there were many shaded options around the gardens. Through the Hytch we even we were connected with an absolutely phenomenal photographer, Kendall Town (Sirberry) whose stunning photos are attached! The entire process was smooth, worry free and largely hands off for us as the couple. The team is a joy and do this job so well. Don’t hesitate to work with them!
Hitched by the Hytch!
The experience the Hytch created for us was absolutely phenomenal. Due to the pandemic, we had to change our original plans of a destination wedding in Jamai...
ca to our incredibly small town in central Nevada. We wanted to bring a charming, elegant event to a place that has little to no services and the Hytch delivered. Yeliz was extremely easy to work with, took our vision for the day, and put it all together. She coordinated with our reception venue, connected us with our amazing officiant Jason, and provided the perfect photographer in Ashleigh. Even with 6 inches of fresh snow on the morning of our wedding, changes were made on the fly and the day provided by the Hytch went off without a hitch.
We decided to elope at the beginning of March, and we’re so glad we chose The Hytch to do so! They did an INCREDIBLE job!! Yeliz and Addie are such wonderful people and really acco...
mmodated to our needs. They absolutely nailed it with the decor that we chose, the set up and arch were absolutely perfect out on the pier overlooking the lake, our vows were just right, and we had a wonderful photographer (go with Kendall!) who took us to some special spots in Donnerlake in which we are now left with such amazing photos to cherish for a lifetime. We really couldn’t ask for any better! They truly delivered and we are so glad we chose them! Thank you for making our day SO special. You guys are fantastic!!
You simply couldn’t dream up a better team than The Hytch. They exceeded all of my expectations and brought my vision to life. Being that we had a destination wedding, it leaves a ...
lot of room for error and details missed. Our day was perfect and beautiful! We had hoped for snow but Mother Nature didn’t cooperate with that piece, I was super bummed to not get pics in the snow... but honestly the beach ceremony and photos on the dock have helped me to not feel sad about that at all! Highly recommend The Hytch team to all brides, big or small!
I am in love with the ocean - and TheHytch packed up their amazing dream team and went to San Diego to provide us with the most amazing beach wedding! They handled every detail fl...
awlessly. But what I am so amazed at was how they made us FEEL. (That deserves more than 5 stars!) We felt like we were the only couple in the world - their faces were full of light, energy and excitement to do what they are so good at. How do you even say, "Thank You" to a team like this who gives you lifelong memories?! Don't even search further - this is your team! <3
This team deserves more than 5 stars! They are very responsive with my emails. They make you feel so welcome and loved that added more magic on our wedding day. They provided pla...
nning, officiating and photography all in one package at a very reasonable price. Ashleigh took our photos and was able to send us some sneek peek photos on the same day hours after the wedding which is a plus because we are all excited to share it on our social medias 🤗 I will surely avail their services again on our vow renewal 😊
2020 happened to be my wife and I’s best year yet and we just couldnt wait any longer to get married! Our original plans were to go to the courthouse but due to Covid-19 that wasn’...
t possible. I searched and searched and when I found The Hytch it was game over. We chose the Elopement Adventure and it was one of our best decisions of 2020. Addie was such a HUGE help in creating our day and making it so stress free that we got to enjoy the whole process. In my opinion elopements are SO underrated, it’s so intimate, and everyone at The Hytch was so helpful and so excited for us. They made our already exciting day, even more exciting. They help set up a location, they provided flowers of our liking, a WONDERFUL photographer, and filed all our paperwork as well. All we had to do was show up! I’ll 10/10 recommend The Hytch to anyone, even those who want a large wedding. Elopements are so intimate and so special and finding the The Hytch was like a dream!
So like many people our wedding was cancelled due to covid. My wife and I still wanted to get married on the date we set which was our 7 year Anniversary. So we decided on Reno and...
looked up places. The Hytch was one of the first places that came up. Oh I'm so HAPPY we went with them. We did the Mirco Wedding with a half hour photographer this past weekend. Addie was our planner and officiant and she was great, Yeliz is a sweetheart, and our photographer Kendall was absolutely fantastic. The venue is absolutely gorgeous. We had the most PERFECT little wedding we could ever ask for. The picture Kendall took of our wedding turned out absolutely beautiful he captured us so well. It was the BEST DAY EVER!! Many Thanks to Yeliz, Addie, and Kendall!! 👰👰♂️🥂🎉❤
We loved using the Hytch!!! Addie at the Hytch made our day very special and Ashliegh took the most awesome pictures. If anyone is looking for someone to help plan their wedding Th...
