Wedding Date 12-09-2021
Wylder is an incredible venue with top notch staff. Due to weeks of wildfires in Tahoe and many road closures, our original venue was not accessible anymore. I called Wylder in a panic hoping we could use their space as a venue. They accommodated all of our needs in less than 20 days out from our wedding day without any hesitation or hardship. It’s important to mention that it was an LGBTQ+ wedding in which everyone on the staff was accepting and supportive of our love and pronouns. Every person on the staff bent over backwards to make sure it was the wedding of our dreams and that’s exactly what it turned out to be. We loved everyone so much that they became a huge part of our day- dancing and celebrating with us as they were family and friends all along. Did we pay top dollar for the location, cabins and staff? Yes we did. But was it 100% worth every penny? Absolutely- and I wouldn’t change a thing. Thank you Wylder for making the wedding of our dreams possible, you all are truly amazing.

I have been trying to get in contact with their wedding coordinators or team since March. Finally got ahold of someone in June and they don’t take any inquiries until August. It is October and I still haven’t heard back and get get ahold of anyone in the office.

We had the most amazing experience working with Wylder. From the moment we arrived for the weekend, we felt taken care of. Several of our rooms and our guests rooms had champagne in them when we arrived, which was a sweet touch. Ivy is a true professional and made sure that everything was set in place on the day of the wedding. I could not speak more highly of Wylder and Ivy!!
