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!

Carats & Cake | Alyssa + Stephen

Our latest feature in Carats & Cake is taking us back to Alyssa & Stephen's sweet October wedding. It’s not every weekend that our Grand Lawn is blanketed in pinks so this was a little extra fun to reminisce on!

Lovelyfest Event Design created a neutral toned oasis in the courtyard, outfitting it with rattan and mixed pattern lounges from Scout Rental Co. The disco ball lined barn doors made for an eye catching backdrop to the mixing and mingling of Alyssa and Stephen’s weddings guests while they snacked on light bites from Field to Table Catering + Events and drinks served by Copper + Crystal.

From cocktail hour, guests made their way to the sea of farmhouse tables on the Grand Lawn. Noonan’s Wine Country Designs adorned the tables with blush florals to pair with the pink linens and gold settings - a perfect complement to our famous greenery!

Guests dined well into the evening before moving the party in the barn for dancing and dessert. Come Alive Entertainment kept the crowd going all night, while Paper Cake Events delicious desserts kept them fueled - yum! This was a dream vendor team for a dream couple and we loved every minute of celebrating Alyssa + Stephen!
