Emma + Quaid

Emma and Quaid brought classic charm and effortless elegance to their vineyard wedding at GreenGate Ranch. With the natural beauty of the property as their backdrop, they embraced a warm, neutral palette that felt both timeless and intimate—perfectly suited to our rustic-yet-refined setting. Starting the weekend with a rehearsal dinner on our Ranch House lawn, Emma and Quaid capitalized beautifully on what our property has to offer.

Framed by soft florals and the golden tones of summer, Emma and Quaid said I do under blue skies with our pond as a stunning backdrop. The reception followed in front of our iconic barn, transformed with elevated décor, neutral colors, and thoughtful design touches that made guests feel right at home. Planner and designer Embark Event Design brought Emma’s “quintessential vineyard” vision to life by utilizing creamy white florals by ADORNMENTS Flowers + Finery , pops of olive, and lots of textures (think oversized woven baskets, wood accents, and lush bundles of olive branches).

What made this wedding truly shine was its seamless fusion of classic style with a relaxed California spirit. Emma and Quaid’s love was the heart of the celebration, but the design, the setting, and the incredible team of vendors brought it to life in the most beautiful way.

We’re so honored to have hosted this stunning day and thrilled to see it featured on Style Me Pretty.

Style Me Pretty | Shannon + Brian

We are thrilled to announce our most recent feature in Style Me Pretty for Shannon and Brian’s beautiful November wedding! The article highlights the enchanting alfresco destination wedding held amidst the picturesque wine country landscape. With moss green and peach tones elevating the ambiance, the ceremony was surrounded by breathtaking views and lush greenery. Custom florals from Unique Floral Designs framed the romantic pond-side ceremony, setting the perfect scene.

The ceremony, led by one of Shannon and Brian’s closest friend, was deeply personal, incorporating a traditional Scottish Quaich ceremony to honor their heritage.

The reception continued the magic with tablescapes adorned with pink accents and bespoke printed menus. The couple's love for cooking and hosting elaborate meals was reflected in their wedding details. They displayed their collection of cookbooks, rented a wooden hutch to house them, and provided personalized bottles of olive oil as guest favors.

The cocktail menu, crafted with the help of Flair Project, featured three signature drinks: a coconut fat wash bourbon old fashioned, an herbal vodka cocktail with yuzu lemon foam, and a tequila-based drink nodding to their engagement in Mexico City. These unique cocktails were a hit, making the reception one of a kind.

Their wedding planner, Jane Alexandra Event’s vision of “elegant, magical” was brought to life with string lights, up lighting, and disco balls, ensuring the party remained lively and bright. Instead of cake, ice cream from Negranti Creamery was served, adding a fun twist to their November celebration.

A highlight of the evening was dancing on stage with the band under twinkle lights and disco balls, creating memories the couple will cherish forever. Sharing a toast with Irish crystal champagne flutes from Brian’s parents' wedding added a special touch, celebrating their 36 years of love and support.

We are honored to have been part of such a beautiful and memorable celebration - thank you to everyone who made this day unforgettable!

Martha Stewart Weddings | Katie + Connor

We patiently waited for this gallery for quite some time - this Martha Stewart Weddings feature gives an inside look to Katie and Connor’s gorgeous late summer wedding! Click on the link above for the full article.

Katie’s dream was to get married in her hometown of San Luis Obispo, always knowing Greengate Ranch & Vineyard was the venue she wanted. With their venue chosen, their talented planner, Vanessa Noel Events, used Katie and Connor’s vision to create a modern, coastal and fun celebration - perfect for the Central Coast destination.

Their ceremony at the Pond was outfitted with a beautiful organic floral arch by Noonan’s Designs. The celebration then moved to the front of the Ranch House for a cocktail hour full of refreshing drinks and delicious appetizers by Field to Table Catering.

It was a perfect summer night as cocktail hour turned into a coastal reception in the Stables with a soft palette of greens, blues and neutrals. At sunset, Katie and Connor slipped away into the vineyards of the Greengate property for photos with Kelsea Holder, giving them an intimate time to appreciate the excitement of the day.

Guests dined and danced the night away in the Stables under Bella Vista Design’s perfectly coastal-modern light installation. The bride and groom personally curated playlists DJ’d by Party Proper that kept the crowd entertained all night before they exited through a sea of cold spark cannons. This was a dream vendor team for a dream couple and we loved every minute of celebrating Katie and Connor!
