Amongst the tranquillity of the Sonoma Coast, with stunning 360-degree views of the ocean and the rolling Sonoma mountains, it’s easy to see why Whitney + Jesse chose the Bodega Harbour Yacht Club to exchange vows.

Our bride wore a gorgeous white gown with a blush bow that tied around the back. The blush dress detail paired beautifully with the lush greenery and white florals that framed the wedding ceremony. The couple stood in front of their closest family and friends under a stunning arch of florals expertly crafted by Aimee Lomeli.

Following the ceremony, the celebration moved to the upper level of the Yacht Club where the reception took place. The room was filled with round tables draped in classic white linens, white chairs and gorgeous, bountiful white florals. Guests enjoyed a delicious dinner catered by Bluewater Bistro that was served on white china and silver flatware.

Guests danced the night away to tunes by the live band, Retro Jukebox Band, nibbled on donuts from the couple’s favorite donut shop, played Jenga and enjoyed the delicious and beautifully designed wedding cake by Patisserie Angelica.

We loved planning and designing such a wonderful day and we were lucky to be a part of all the beautiful moments. Thank you, Courtney Stockton for capturing each and every one!

Carolyn + Scott | Private Estate

There’s something special about planning a wedding on a private estate. The chance for our design team to truly do something unique is what we thrive on. Carolyn and Scott wanted the flexibility and the intimacy of a private venue and the low key vibe of a backyard wedding. Amongst beautiful greenery and rolling hills, it’s easy to see why our bride and groom found Scott’s home to be the best space for their mid-century modern inspired “I Do’s.”

Held in the backyard on the lawn, the ceremony was modern yet elegant with crisp white and bright yellow accents. Guests were seated on white Eames-style chairs for the backyard ceremony, and neutral stone vases held pale yellow florals and greenery.

Followed by the three cutest flower girls wearing flower crowns, Carolyn walked down the aisle wearing a modern gown, holding an overflowing bouquet of ferns and golden blooms designed by Hawthorn Flower Studio, while Scott wore a custom navy linen suit with yellow accessories. Flanked by her bridesmaids wearing a variation of pastel blue dresses, Carolyn and Scott exchanged vows and became Mr. and Mrs.!

For cocktail hour, a delicious spread of meat and cheeses were served along with specialty cocktails from Libations. The signature cocktail for Carolyn and Scott was a smoky Manhattan and a Jalepeno-Cucumber collins with edible flowers.

The reception area was filled with long, wooden family style tables that were thoughtfully designed with white chargers topped with yellow napkins and silver flatware. Tropical style greenery served as centerpieces for each setting. A delectable dinner by Pixie and the Scout was served and beautiful toasts were given throughout the rest of dinner.

Guests enjoyed dancing the night away with Boutique DJs and sweet treats by Moustache Baked Goods . Special thank you to onelove Photography for capturing the best moments of the day and to all of the vendors who made this unique and beautiful day a success!

Janelle + Javon | Jacuzzi Family Vineyards

Its a special time to be included in your best friends wedding, but its extra special to get to help her plan her wedding! And, on a beautiful September day, Janelle and Javon exchanged vows that were 10 years in the making and it was so rewarding standing by their side as they did. Jacuzzi Family Vineyards. was the perfect setting for these two to say, “I do”.

Janelle walked down the aisle in a stunning white gown with gold details and her ladies accented her with gold art deco floor length dresses. Javon wore a suit with a white jacket and black details to compliment the bride beautifully. Standing in front of their closest family and friends, Janelle and Javon shared what was truly a special moment as they became husband and wife.

With the classic tuscan winery feel and a blend of Gatsby Glam we turned it into an elegant reception black and gold elements throughout. Classic candelabras donned each table wrapped with delicate ivy leaves lit up the room with a romantic glow. Table number doubled as Janelle and Javon’s favorite Italian destinations.

The dance party with Verducci Entertainment and everyone took advantage of the photo booth provided by JoySquad for the remainder of the night.

Thank you Lindsey Tatum for capturing every special moment between the beautiful bride and groom.

Caitie + Alex | Geyserville Inn

In the Heart of Alexander Valley, nestled between mountains and vineyards, you’ll discover Geyserville Inn. With spacious grounds and a serene ambiance, it was the perfect destination for our bride and groom’s laid and gorgeous wedding. Caitie and Alex desired these elements so we were elated to plan and design their spirited summer nuptials at this stunning venue!

Flanked by bridesmaids in sapphire gowns and groomsmen in black suits, our bride and groom exchanged vows in a beautiful ceremony under a intimately decorated pergola. With the rolling hills and lush vineyards spreading out into the distance behind them, it truly was a special moment.

For cocktail hour, we wanted to make the most of the space the property allowed. We placed lounge furniture for guests to grab drinks, enjoy appetizers, mingle and explore the beauty of the property.

We wanted to preserve the stunning beauty and natural surroundings the venue offered, so neutral tones with gold accents were utilised for the reception. The bridal party, including Caitie and Alex sat at a long family style table, while guests dined at round tables of 8. Gorgeous stunning flora centerpieces by Fleuressence were in hues of cream, soft pink, deep magenta and lush greenery.

Guests danced the night away to tunes played by AMS. An elegant four layered cake for guests to enjoy completed the evening's festivities while Sarah Marcella beautifully captured all of our favorite moments. We are so happy we were able to be part of Caitie and Alex's special day. Thank you to the entire team for making this possible!

Valerie + Paul | Farmstead Long Meadow Ranch

Located in the heart of wine country, surrounded by vineyards and lush greenery, you'll find Farmstead at Long Meadow Ranch. We can't say enough about Farmstead’s natural beauty and spacious areas. Needless to say, we were thrilled to have planned and designed this unforgettable fete!

Our bride and groom exchange vows in an intimate ceremony under a pergola covered in beautiful flowering vines. Our beaming bride walked down the aisle in a modern white gown while her groom awaited in a grey suit and light green tie. Valerie and Paul opted to get married without bridesmaids and groomsmen, so all eyes were truly on them.

The reception that followed took place on the Farmstead lawn where guests were treated to fresh cocktails, games and delicious tray passed appetizers. Long, family style tables were draped in cream colored linens and succulents and florals provided by Letita “Tish” Martin in green, yellow and deep purple tones. Farmstead provided a fresh and delicious menu for guests to enjoy. It truly looked as good as it tasted!

Guests enjoyed an evening of celebrating Valerie and Paul with heartfelt toasts, s’mores as a lovely dessert and wonderful tunes by Brian Bergeron. As the sun went down, the fire pits were lit and lights hung over the reception area that created an intimate ambiance for the summer celebration.

Thank you to our amazing creative team for bringing Valerie and Paul's wedding vision to life! And thanks to Rubin Weddings for capturing the beauty of the day!
