We were thrilled to have been nominated again this year alongside some of the best vendors the Central Coast wedding industry has to offer. This year, we were nominated in all three applicable categories: Best Outdoor Venue, Best Indoor Venue, and Best Overall Vendor!

It is an incredible honor to announce that we took home our 8th annual Best Of award - California Wedding Day’s Best Outdoor Venue! I say this every year, but it couldn’t be more true - we truly strive to continuously improve for our couples and our vendors, alike.

Winning the 2023 California Wedding Day Best Of Award is a moment of immense gratitude, a celebration of hard work, creativity, and collaboration. We are elated at the winners and nominees and it feels so good to see our friends and colleagues be recognized for all of their hard work. Although this year we did not make the trip to LA for the awards banquet, we were happy to celebrate the accomplishments of some our close colleagues with a group dinner here in SLO.

Results can be found on California Wedding Day. Thank you so much to all of our brides, grooms, and industry colleagues for supporting us!

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!
