Sarah + John

Sarah and John’s wedding at GreenGate Ranch & Vineyard was a celebration of timeless romance, set against the picturesque backdrop of Edna Valley. Their day, featured in Style Me Pretty, was a harmonious blend of classic design, romantic details, and the natural beauty of our vineyard property.​

The couple exchanged vows surrounded by rolling hills and lush vineyards, with every detail thoughtfully curated to reflect their sophisticated style.

Soft shades of blush pink, creamy ivory, and delicate hints of greenery evoked a sense of timeless elegance, perfectly complementing the natural beauty of the surroundings. The ceremony space was adorned with lush floral arrangements from Noonan's Wine Country Designs, creating a romantic atmosphere that seamlessly blended with the vineyard's rustic charm.

The reception featured pieces from All About Events and Theoni Collection - elegant table settings with classic blush linens, lace overlays, and crystal glassware enhanced the sophisticated ambiance. Floral centerpieces in soft hues added a touch of romance to each table, while the warm glow of candlelight created an inviting atmosphere for guests to celebrate.

Sarah and John’s wedding is a beautiful example of how classic design elements can be elevated by the natural beauty of Greengate Ranch & Vineyard. Their celebration highlighted the versatility of our venue and the timeless appeal of a vineyard wedding.​

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!
