We are thrilled to announce that one of our most memorable wedding weekends has been featured in BRIDES! Shaina and David’s early September wedding was nothing short of magical, and we are honored to have been part of their special day. With her impeccable attention to detail and creative vision, Vanessa Noel Events transformed Greengate Ranch and Vineyard into the perfect setting for their dream wedding. Every detail was meticulously crafted to create a memorable experience.

The festivities began with an intimate Rehearsal Dinner on Friday evening, set against the stunning views of our vineyards. The ambiance was warm and inviting, echoing the late summer sunshine that inspired the decor. Their closest loved ones dined at a long table adorned with a vibrant array of fruits and floral centerpieces curated by Jenn Sanchez Design, along with custom menus by Emily Baird Design, adding a refreshing and distinctive touch.

Later that evening, the couple hosted a welcome party with a Hawaiian theme, a nod to their engagement trip to Maui. Guests enjoyed tropical rum cocktails hand crafted by Sidecar Cocktail Co., delicious food truck fare, and tables decorated with palmetto palms and grapes under bistro lighting.

Shaina and David’s wedding day was a blend of rustic charm and sophisticated elegance. The ceremony took place on the Grand Lawn, where potted plants and trees created a meadow-like atmosphere. Guests watched as Shaina’s dad walked her down the aisle to Daniel Jang’s violin cover of “Can’t Help Falling in Love.” The couple exchanged heartfelt vows under our serene walnut tree.

As part of their special day, Shaina and David snuck away in a 1997 NAS Land Rover Defender in British Green, perfectly complementing the rustic yet elegant vibe of their wedding. This classic vehicle provided a stunning backdrop for some of their most cherished portraits taken by their photographer Brandon Kidd, adding a touch of adventure and timeless style to their celebration.

The reception at The Stables transformed the space into an urban restaurant feel with white banquettes, warm velvet draping, and modern floor lamps. Guests dined at tables with stoneware plates, custom menus, and white floral centerpieces. The dessert table featured a cookies and cream wedding cake adorned with flowers and a figurine of their dog, Lucy.

The couple’s first dance to “You and Me” by Lighthouse, their middle school slow dance song, brought their love story full circle. Family played a central role in their celebration, with highlights including David’s 105-year-old grandmother and Shaina’s Grandpa Bruce singing “Love Me Tender.”

The day after the wedding, guests enjoyed an al fresco brunch on the Grand Lawn, complete with a lounge area, striped umbrellas, and a variety of brunch options. It was the perfect way to wind down and celebrate the newlyweds.

We are honored to have hosted Shaina and David’s wedding at Greengate Ranch and Vineyard, and we wish them a lifetime of happiness.

Our most recent feature in Style Me Pretty reminisced on the beautiful union of Stephanie and Kevin this past fall. This timeless wedding stole our hearts with it’s elegant decor, light and airy aesthetic, and romantic details!

“Designing Stephanie & Kevin’s day was an honor and a joy! As a fellow wedding vendor, Stephanie had long dreamed of her wedding day and soon after meeting Kevin knew it wasn’t a question of ‘if’ they were going to get married but ‘when.’ Being a part of the Theoni Collection team, Stephanie’s design vision was clear and in keeping with her personal classic & timeless aesthetic. It was so fun to walk through selecting tabletop items & furnishings from her own collection, and she left the rest to us!” Sarah Strausser, Embark Event Design.

Stephanie and Kevin’s wedding was a celebration of authenticity, reflecting their love story in every detail. Their talented planner, Embark Event Design, went above and beyond in fulfilling her clients wishes. From the carefully curated menu by Field to Table to the eloquent florals from Blooms by Morgan, every element was infused with their personal style. This customized design was incorporated into the couples signatures cocktails by Copper & Crystal with hers being named for Alaska and his for California, representing their home states.

The couple envisioned a gathering which felt like a cozy dinner party at home, where warmth and romance filled the air. Greengate Ranch & Vineyard provided the perfect backdrop with its lush trees and natural beauty, exceeding their wildest dreams. For them, the venue itself was the main design detail, and they simply aimed to enhance its charm.

“I really wanted something outdoors with trees and Greengate was the dream setting, more perfect than we could have ever imagined.”

- Stephanie, Bride
