Our experience working with Alibi Ale Works was so beautiful. Everything ended up working out so easily, I'm sure with a lot of work on Alibi's end. We loved working with Sophia especially - her attention to detail, her soothing nature, and her genuine kindness made this experience amazing. Along with that, the location was perfect and the food was wonderful. One of the things that made us decide on Alibi vs competitors is that basically everything we needed except the photographer was included (and they even offered up some photo contacts we could use). We got the ceremony and reception in the space, they provided food and drink, they moved furniture around to make us a dance floor, and Sophia even acted as our DJ (kind of - we made a playlist and she hit play at the right times lol). The pricing for the prime location in Incline Village was a huge part of the reason we chose Alibi, but the good vibes and the comforting ambience really put it over the top. All our family and friends complimented us on the venue, and we couldn't have been any happier with it. Everything was perfect, and if we could do it again at Alibi, we would. Thank you to Sophia and the whole team!!

I honestly don't know if I have enough time to write all my favorite things about Palisades Tahoe. I have worked at this venue for last 7 years. They quickly became one of my favorite venues to work at, either at High Camp, OVL or many of their other amazing locations like Base Camp, Rocker, Plaza bar etc. They feel like family, the planning staff there are top notch, they truly know how to take care of their clients. The catering staff goes above and beyond for each couple we have together, their food DELICIOUS in all aspects of appetizers, plated or buffet and some of the real show stoppers are done by their pastry chef Cortney. On the wedding day, they are so attentive and work their bums off to make sure that our couples have thee most amazing experiences. I constantly commend them for their professionalism and support through the process to the couples we have together because of the attention to detail and care. It also doesn't hurt that they have some of the most incredible views of Lake Tahoe from High Camp, or beautiful mountains from the garden at OVL and the village. I feel so lucky to be able to work with so many incredible couples on the mountain. If you are looking for a venue, you will not be disappointed with Palisades Tahoe. (Trust me, I work with a lot of venues and they are top of my list!)

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 we 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.

The communication with the Monte Verde Inn wasn't the best, but they did get back to us when we needed them. However, the venue itself was a great value for the space. We had multiple meetings with our coordinator to make sure all the details were correct. They handled all the setup and decor, so we just had to show up on the day. The vendors all delivered directly to the venue, so we didn't have to worry about anything not arriving. They really went above and beyond to make our day special in ways that other venues often don't. The house and grounds felt like having a beautiful backyard wedding, with plenty of space to host all our guests. I spent a lot of time getting ready in the large bridal suite with my family. We brought in some of our own drinks and food to the bridal suite which they allow. The staff made sure we had everything we needed on the day and took care of all the setup and breakdown. The food was amazing and the bar was fully stocked. We had a wonderful time and I highly recommend this venue to other couples.
