Here’s what they had to say about us:

“Dating back to the 1800s as a dairy farm, Greengate Ranch & Vineyard has since been turned into a majestic barn + horse facility. The ranch/vineyard exclusively hosts one wedding each weekend, making this place an ideal retreat destination in San Luis Obispo. And what’s better than a weekend sipping wine by the sea?”

Check out the article and show some love for all of the venues featured. After the year we have all had it feels so good to be recognized and and share the spotlight with 40 other amazing venues. Thank you so much, Green Wedding Shoes and let’s bring on 2021!

Featured in Green Wedding Shoes this week is Madie and Jordan’s wedding! Madi and Jordan’s summertime celebration has Lovelyfest Events written ALL over it! From the ombre hydrangeas and disco balls to the iridescent chairs and neon signs—we are obsessed with this coordination of the couple’s vision and Lovelyfest’s creativity!

Guests were greeted by an escort display at cocktail hour that was not to be missed! The attention grabbing colors combined with the lush and light florals felt like something from another world…or at least another decade (70’s dance party, anyone?!).

Our Grand Lawn was the perfect space for all 400 guests to dine together under fairytale lights. Pinks, purples, and iridescent chairs wowed the guests as they walked over from cocktail hour. A mix of vendors were brought in to create this dreamy setting!

Honoring family and friends was the number one priority for Madi and Jordan. Madi played homage to her heritage through florals and the massive dinner party set up was perfect for guests to mix and mingle with the couple. It also gave guests, no matter where they were seated, the perfect view of Madi and Jordan’s first dance!

The icing on the [neon] cake was the hot pink sign toting the couples newly shared last name! If a pink neon sign doesn’t scream “party” I don’t know what does! Guests thought so too as they flowed into the barn to drink, dance, and celebrate Madi + Jordan!

Featured yesterday on Green Wedding Shoes was Amy & Tim's idyllic August 2017 wedding.  Their wedding location, design and detail focused on the mix of California coast and country.  Prim & Pixie's dreamy invitation suite mapped out illustrations of local iconic spots, including Downtown San Luis Obispo, Pismo Beach Pier, and The Rock at Morro Bay.  Their escort display tied in their love of traveling together with each table labeled as a country Amy & Tim had visited together.  Katie Noonan brought all the summer feels with her mixture of pampas grass, bougainvillea, dahlias, and ranunculus. And adding to the sweetness of the relaxed summer day, Negranti Creamery served ice cream cones out of their scoop truck. Check out all of the details, the AMAZING Jen Rodriguez photos, and Iron & Fern's wedding day video on the Green Wedding Shoe's publication.
