“I loved my wedding at Twenty Mile house they were all incredible to work with from the wedding fair to the day of the event everyone was super responsive, fun, and professional. I consider myself a somewhat demanding and particular bride but the Twenty mile crew never made me feel bad about me getting things exactly the way I wanted it. All the vendors work together and know eachother super well so the event went extremely smoothly and communication was incredibly easy. A vast majority of my guests said that my wedding was the best one they had ever been to, I highly recommend this venue and this team of wonderful people”

“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.”
