Love Among The Desert Beauty

 

 

Laurie Ashley Photography shared these incredible pictures with us of Madison and Greg’s magical day here at the Ranch!

With all the shades of dusty rose, sage, and gold accents in their decor, Madison and Greg’s romantic southwestern sunset motif caught our eye.

 

 

Madison and her stunning Bridesmaids were girl gang goals helping each other get ready for the events to come!

 

 

Greg and his Groomsmen sported some floral printed ties to add a little levity to their sharp navy blue suits.

 

 

The look on Greg’s face right before the First Look makes us think these two know how to have fun.

 

 

Staying young at heart keeps love alive, and he looks like a kid at Christmas!

 

 

The big moment arrived, and a couple of cherub-cheeked angels heralded Madison before she came down the aisle.

 

 

Right before they turn the corner to head down the aisle, we always tell our Brides to pause in our perfectly framed archway to take in the moment.

 

 

We love ceremonies beneath our grand Pepper Tree.

Guests are protected from the afternoon sun, and it provides such a romantic backdrop.

 

 

Laurie Ashley Photography captured a shot of the big kiss!

Being a team full of hopeless romantics, we’ll never get tired of this stuff.

 

 

For our followers who are as sappy as we are, here’s what makes it all worth it: The “I Do” Glow!

It’s impossible to look at these two and not smile along with them.

 

 

Sound Prodigy always brings the awesome tunes, but they take entertainment to the next level by also providing this radical vintage VW Photo Bus as well!

 

 

Speaking of radical, did you catch that glimpse of Madison’s custom jean jacket??

We’re loving this look and can’t get enough of the tiny detailed flowers beneath her new name!

 

 

Personal Touch Dining served appetizers and cocktails while guests mingled and enjoyed lawn games after the ceremony.

Everyone who snagged a tasty beverage was encouraged to dress it up with a fun koozie favor!

 

 

Guests seated, the official Grand Entrance and First Dance began, kicking off the start of the party!

Do we see some flirty red dancing shoes peeking out from under Madison’s dress?

 

 

Personal Touch Dining always blows us away with their fantastic food, but they’ve set a new highest standard this time with their Rustic Chicken.

Their Grilled Chicken is topped with heaping amounts of Cheddar and Jack Cheese, Crispy Bacon, Savory Bell Peppers, and Sliced Scallions, and it’s a mouth-watering entree to end a hearty buffet!

 

 

These little cake toppers perfectly tied into their homemade cactus centerpieces on each dining table.

A little perk about these? They’re a Salt, and Pepper Shaker set!

They can be used daily, instead of hidden on a shelf, to remind Greg and Madison of their special day here at our Ranch.

 

 

Personal Touch Dining pulled out all the best desserts for their dessert bar!

Guests nibbled on assorted Donut Holes, Raspberry Crumble Bars, Fudge Brownie Bars, Lemon Bars, Mini assorted Cupcakes in Chocolate, Vanilla, and Red Velvet.

Plus Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, and Sugar Cookies.

 

 

For the rest of the evening, guests played lawn games, posed inside the photo bus, and rocked out to the expert DJing skills from Sound Prodigy!

 

 

We’re so excited about the future in store for these two!

We wish them all the best and are so thankful that we got to be part of such a perfect day!

 

We can’t do all this without the help of our fantastic vendors!

Thanks to all of you for your hard work!

Modern Love Meets Old Spanish Flair

 

 

These love birds welcomed guests to the ceremony area and encouraged everyone to take a vial of dried flowers to use at the end of the nuptials!

 

 

With the celebratory sound of Mariachi Real de San Diego, the big moment had arrived!

 

Jason was the first down the aisle, and his excitement is contagious.

 

 

As Laura came through the arch, a collective gasp was audible from the crowd.

 

 

She looked stunning in her sleek modern wedding gown.

 

The cowl back and delicate buttons lead down to an elegant train, and we’re in love with the whole ensemble.

 

 

The Pepper Tree makes the perfect backdrop if a happy couple wants to have their big moment supported by the natural beauty of its rugged, majestic timber.

 

 

Of course, we had to include a shot of the “I Do” Glow!

 

 

Personal Touch Dining escorted guests towards drinks and appetizers down in the main reception area.

They had the dining tables all set and ready, decorated with succulents, eucalyptus, slate blue napkins, and even some Cactus cookie favors on each plate from the Bride and Groom!

 

 

Chic Flowers collaborated with Jason and Laura o better understand their desired look for their table arrangements, and we are in love with these sweetly romantic flower clouds they whipped up!

 

 

The Photo Bus looked right at home in its usual spot among the lush desert foliage.

 

Guests had a ball taking pictures inside with the variety of unique props and accessories for the perfect picture.

 

 

Our historic mantle inspired Jason and Laura with its rustic charm.

 

They created a mural of moss and succulents to decorate it, and we love the way it turned out!

 

 

After the Grand Entrance, everyone in attendance could feel the love these two shared during their First Dance as husband and wife.

 

 

Inspired by the ambiance of our rustic Spanish Ranch, these two decided to go with Personal Touch Dining‘s Taco Bar Buffet!

 

Guests feasted on Carne Asada and Pollo Asada Tacos with Black Beans and Corn.

There was also delicious Enchilada Bake, Cilantro Lime Rice, a Spicy Spinach Salad, and a separate station devoted solely to Chips and Guac!

 

Sticking to the theme of the night, Flour Power decorated the couple’s personal wedding cake with the most adorable cactus themed cake topper!

 

 

Personal Touch Dining provided the rest of the desserts for the guests at our Dessert Bar.

 

Brownie Bars, Lemon Bars, Carrot Cake Bites, Cheesecake Bites, Chocolate, and Red Velvet Cupcakes, and a whole Apple Pie framed the tiny cake and filled the entire Cabana bar front!

 

 

To keep the party going, we always trust Bill Calhoun Mobile Music to rock the dance floor, and guests danced the rest of the night away!

 

 

We loved working with this loving couple, their love was so genuine, and we know their future will be bright!

We’re so glad we could help create their perfect day.

 

 

As always, we so appreciate all of the excellent vendors who help us do what we love!

Special thanks to Personal Touch Dining for their extra help Catering, Coordinating, and Managing our venue for all our special events!

Family First, and Love Always

 

 

Jessica and her bridesmaids had a ball in our Bridal Suite putting on the final touches before the ceremony.

 

Laughter was ringing off the historic vaulted ceilings and could be heard all the way do to the reception area!

 

 

Instead of a First Look with her soon-to-be-husband, Jessica arranged the special surprise for her Father!

 

There were no dry eyes in a thirty-foot radius as she tapped his shoulder, and he got to see his daughter as a Bride.

 

 

In the Groom’s Room, Mike helped their son, Maverick, clean up for the big event!

 

 

Just like his son, Mike looked so sharp in a navy blue suit!

 

 

Lining up for the ceremony, Studio 7 Photography caught the ringbearer contemplating the depth of his responsibility.

 

 

Reunited at last, the love birds were overjoyed to finally tie the knot!

 

 

This patio is highly flexible, feeling like the perfect size for these smaller ceremonies as well as the big ones!

 

We’re in love with this fresh new angle the photographer used.

 

 

With the heartfelt vows finished, Mike and Jessica said their “I Do’s” and it was official: they were pronounced husband and wife!

 

 

Snowberry Studio was the mastermind behind Jessica’s stunning bohemian inspired white bouquet.

 

 

With plenty of space to entertain, cocktail hour was down at our main reception area where guests could eat, drink, and explore the grounds.

 

Personal Touch Dining provided all the place-settings and helped set up each table with their keen eye for details.

 

 

Snowberry Studio had a field day–pun intended– setting up the centerpieces with fresh wildflowers and loads of fragrant eucalyptus just like the kinds that grow naturally here at the Ranch!

 

We love this eclectic assortment of delicate vases too.

 

Each guest received a personal-sized bottle of hot sauce as their wedding favor, along with a sweet message from the grateful Bride and Groom.

 

 

Inside our quaint Cabana, every flat surface held a photo or memorable decoration from a family member of the Bride and Groom.

 

 

Such sweet sentiments and happy memories fit perfectly displayed in this space.

 

 

After some family photos with Studio 7, the newlyweds were ready to rejoin the party with a Grand Entrance.

 

We love this perspective from behind Mike and Jessica. It reminds us that these two have chosen to weather whatever the future decides to throw at them, together.

 

Studio 7 also provided a photo booth for the night and everybody had a blast posing in some funky accessories with silly signs!

 

 

The night flew by and when it was finally time to cut the cake, the sweet little personal cake from Flour Power looked almost too cute to eat!

 

Personal Touch Dining provided the rest of the desserts for the dessert bar and every variety of sweet was available for guests to taste!

 

 

We’re sure the future has nothing but adventure and unlimited possibilities for this gorgeous couple.

From all of us here at the Ranch, we wish them nothing but the best.

 

 

Thanks to all the talented vendors who helped us make another magical moment!

We can’t do what we love without your continuous commitment to excellence.

Romantic Greecian Ranch Wedding

 

 

 

Rachael Consaul Photography treated us to yet another heart-stoppingly gorgeous bunch of photos from Meagan and Chad’s big day here at the Ranch!

 

 

These two were nothing but wonderful through the whole planning process with our talented and appreciative Event Coordination Team.

 

Even before meeting them in person, we could tell they’d be a dream to work with, and they did not disappoint!

 

 

Chad and his groomsmen took the traditional approach with sharp black suits and bowties with Chad in a Navy Blue version!

 

 

This blue theme carried over to the bridesmaids, who all had varying shades of a soft slate blue, a fabulous color for all types!

 

 

The love birds had their first look in the Hacienda’s central courtyard, and the love in their eyes had us all reaching for some tissues!

 

Just so sweet!

 

 

Rachael Consaul Photography then took the happy couple out and about for a quick photoshoot before the ceremony and captured these two in their natural environment: hopelessly in love.

 

 

Posies Floral Co. helped Meagan and Chad decorate the ceremony space with more of the intrinsic desert-style the Ranch already invokes but added a little coastal flair!

 

Our Hacienda Ceremony location is ideal for a larger crowd and that iconic backdrop.

 

Reminiscent of a coastal Grecian villa, the terracotta and painted pots held some masterfully artistic arrangements from Posies Floral Co. 

 

Embellished with the sandy-gold woven lanterns, the aisle was dressed and ready for the big moment!

 

 

Guests were encouraged to enjoy a pre-ceremony Prosecco Welcome Drink, provided by Personal Touch Dining, and snag a fan from the Bride and Groom.

 

 

Meagan was a vision in white as she walked down the aisle, and after exchanging some tender vows, they were pronounced Husband and Wife!

 

 

Rachael Consaul Photography captured the “We Did It” Glow!

We’ll never get enough of this stuff.

 

Posies Floral Co. also added their creative touch to the place card and dining tables, and we are in love with all this royal blue and white!

 

Chad and Meagan decided to use stunning hand-painted tiles instead of place cards for each guest!

 

 

Guests were enticed by the promise of free food and a hosted bar down in the main event space for cocktail hour, thanks to Personal Touch Dining.

 

 

On the dining tables, Posies Floral Co., Personal Touch Dining, and the happy couple collaborated to create a sensational tablescape!

 

 

Chad and Meagan provided the blue glass water pitchers and silver or white gossamer linens to accentuate their overall motif.

 

Posies Floral Co. brought lush romantic floral arrangements with a soft neutral pallet and textured greens to each tabletop.

 

Alongside some blue and gold candles to add just a pop of color, the whole collection was fresh and trendy while keeping to its romantic origins.

 

 

SoCal Wander Bus thrilled guests with their wide variety of photo booth props for their pictures to help pass the time!

 

 

After toasts, for dinner, Personal Touch Dining treated everyone to a savory buffet of Citrus & Oregano Marinated Tri-Tip with extra spicy Horseradish Cream Sauce and Tomato Corn Relish, or Mediterranean Chicken with Asparagus Parmesan Risotto.

 

The Farmer’s Market Salad with Tender Greens, chopped tomatoes, Sliced Almonds, Roasted Red Peppers, Parmesan Cheese, and a Lemon Herb Vinaigrette Dressing went perfectly with the overall theme as well.

 

 

 

Flour Power baked the sweetest little cake topper for these love birds while Personal Touch Dining decorated our dessert bar with some tasty treats!

Churro Shooters, Chocolate Cake bites, Cheesecake Bites, Lemon Bars, Blondie Bars, Donuts, and Donut Holes framed the happy couple in this stunning shot.

 

 

 

Bill Calhoun Mobile Music helped Meagan perform her rendition of Grease’s “You’re the One that I Want,” much to her hubby Chad’s delight!

 

 

In response, Chad’s ride-or-die guys serenaded Meagan and officially welcomed her into the family.

 

 

Bill Calhoun Mobile Music then opened the dancefloor and kept everybody grooving for the rest of the night!

 

 

Finally, after the last song, guests lined up in front of the Hacienda, where the ceremony was held and tossed flower petals as the happy couple made a quick dash for their get-away car!

 

 

We loved working with these two and know they have the brightest future together ahead of them!

 

Huge thanks to all the incredible vendors mentioned for their consistent excellence and devotion to our clients.

 

We couldn’t do it without you!

Special thanks to Personal Touch Dining for the Management, Coordination, and Catering of all our special events!

Turquoise Turtledoves in Love

 

Emily and Amanda wanted their special day to be colorful, celebrated with a close-knit group, and all about love!

 

 

Here we see the girls anxiously awaiting their first look!

 

Each Bride got ready in our separate private rooms to keep the surprise for as long as possible.

 

 

Guests were received by the adorable welcome table as they arrived, sweetly adorned in the bright turquoise accent runner and seating sign.

 

The peaceful ceremony was in our Wash House Courtyard in front of our grand Pepper Tree.

 

The intimate group had a perfect view of the detailed speeches and customized traditions that Amanda and Emily incorporated into their service.

 

 

 

Finished with their vows, the brides celebrated their union with a big kiss, and let the party commence!

 

 

These flirty and fun floral arrangements from Honeysuckle & Ivy were all over the property, and we love the wildflower, “fresh-picked from the field” look!

 

 

The Brides made sure to let their guests know how much they all meant to them with touching Thank You Notes lovingly folded into each guest’s napkin!

 

Personal Touch Dining kept the guests well-fed with their delicious assortment of appetizers!

 

Pictured below are the Baked Brie Bites with Apricot Sauce and fresh Blueberries, and the Coconut Shrimp with a Mango Puree.

 

The Photo Bus also helped keep guests busy during cocktail hour with pictures inside and out of their adorable vintage VW Bus Photo Booth!

 

True Photography captured the Brides snagging a ride in the front seat of this little love mobile!

 

Personal Touch Dining served up an incredible plate for Emily and Amanda’s seated dinner.

These hungry Brides chose to start with the fabulous Watermelon Caprese Stack Salad.

For their entrees, guests either had the Filet Mignon with Caramelized Onions and rich Garlic Butter or White Seabass with Mediterranean Spices and a fresh Lemon Butter Sauce.

All this goodness was over the Truffle Mashed Potatoes and Petite Carrots!

 

Flour Power baked and decorated a simple, yet lovely, personal-sized cake to showcase the custom made cake topper silhouette.

 

It fits these love birds perfectly!

 

 

We’re so excited to follow these two as their beautiful future together unfolds.

 

And we’re so honored they chose our humble Ranch to be part of their celebration of love!

 

 

Thanks to all the incredible vendors who helped us create another magical event!

Magic in Maroon!

Alexandria Monette Photography shared some of the photos from this incredible day here at our beautiful Ranch.

We’re so excited to show off this fantastic couple and their gorgeous wedding day!

 

 

Kyla and Warren were, by far, one of the sweetest couples to grace us with their love.

Their easy-going personalities blended effortlessly with their romantic Boho-Chic motif, and we can’t get enough of the sensational maroon accent color!

 

Kyla chose an exquisite lace dress paired with a set of cheeky maroon velvet heels!

The simple lines gracefully accentuated her beauty while the softness of the lace added a vintage sweetness to her overall look.

 

Warren and his groomsmen, in their striking maroon suits, completed their look with amber ties and some sienna dress shoes.

Looking so bold and trendy must be thirsty work!

 

 

Where Kyla was delicate with vintage elegance, Warren was bold with retro lines.

Their looks melded together seamlessly for the perfect boho-chic vibe.

 

 

Is there anything more romantic than a delicate flower crown?

Wildflower Studios was the floral genius behind all the blossoming masterpieces, big and small, throughout the day.

 

 

 

The ceremony was out on our Washhouse Patio in front of our welcoming pepper tree, where DJ  Nick Weiss welcomed guests with his sweet-sounding guitar.

 

 

Wildflower Studios gave our tree a full makeover or the ceremony!

We would never think of having such a fun contrasting combination of the delicate peonies and dried palms.

 

 

Alexandria Monette had quite the task of appeasing our feathered camera-fiend while still capturing the wedding vows.

It looks like we need to brush up on their wedding etiquette!

 

 

After the big kiss, everyone was encouraged to enjoy cocktail hour while the Bride and Groom finished taking pictures.

 

 

Personal Touch Dining provided the bar and food service during cocktail hour, and our favorite appetizers are hands down the Brie Puff-Pastries with Apricot Sauce and Blueberries.

A perfect marriage of sweet and savory, we could’ve eaten an entire platter to ourselves!

 

 

 

Personal Touch Dining doesn’t just stop their fantastic service at food and beverage!

They also provided all the linens and tableware, setting each piece to make Kyla and Warren’s dream tablescape come to life.

 

 

The love birds chose to use these artsy amber goblets and mismatched antique china plates to continue their unique vision.

The minimalist flower vases are adorable and add just the right amount of brass accent tones to these gorgeous farm tables.

 

 

We love having The Photo Bus here at the Ranch!

Their vintage bus is the perfect compliment to almost any motif, from retro to rustic, and guests always have a blast!

 

 

Cocktail hour was full of great music, fun photo booths, and amazing food, but the night had just begun!

Just before dinner service began, the happy couple took a moment to themselves during their heartwarming first dance as husband and wife.

 

 

 

Personal Touch Dining served the season favorite: the Strawberry Spinach Salad!

This crowd-pleaser is like taking a bite out of summer with its creamy goat cheese, fresh slivered almonds, and sweet strawberries.

 

 

They also served their signature Garlic Whipped Mashed Potatoes, Fresh Seasonal Veggie Medley, and their delicious Herb Encrusted Mahi-Mahi with a Lemon Chardonnay Sauce.

 

 

Now and again we have a couple who can’t decide on which type of cake to order for their big day, so they get two!

 

 

Both incredible cakes, made by Flour Power Cakery, were personalized to fit each personality flawlessly.

A classic scraped tiered cake for Kyla in peach and strawberry was complimented by Warren’s expertly decorated “Family Name” sign cake in chocolate.

 

 

Nick Weiss kept the dancefloor jumping for the rest of the evening and even played a special song for the happy couple who wanted a private moment before their grand exit.

Alexandria Monette captured this special moment, and you can feel all the love just by looking at them!

 

 

Surrounded by their cheering friends and family, Warren and Kyla had their grand exit out from the front of our historic Hacienda.

 

 

We’re deeply honored that these two chose our beloved Ranch to start their greatest adventure!

Their love for each other will light their long and beautiful future together, and we’re so happy for them!

 

Thanks to all our excellent vendors who help us make the magic happen!

Special thanks as always to Personal Touch Dining for the Coordination and Catering of all our special events!

All In The Details, Darling!

 

 

Amy and Sean had some of the most thoughtful personal details planned out for their big day here at our beloved Ranch!

 

For example, don’t miss Amy’s dress with the tiny bits of antique lace intermixed in the layers of her skirt.

 

 

Their custom-built ring box, plucked from a fairy forest floor, enchanted us!

 

One of our favorite little details were the wine bottles meant for messages instead of a sign-in book!

 

Each of the six bottles had custom-printed labels for a specific occasion in the future.

When those events came around, the love birds would uncork the bottles and read the well-wishes from their family and friends.

 

So thoughtful and unique!

 

 

Down the ceremony aisle, vibrant floral arrangements from Snowberry Studios framed the scene for the main event!

 

 

This bridal party had a couple of quirky details as well.

 

Amy had a Bridesman, and Sean had a Groomswoman!

 

 

 

What’s a flower girl without a flower crown?

 

This tiny wreath-decked angel stole the hearts of every guest!

 

 

 

 

After the heartfelt ceremony, guests were encouraged to enjoy the cocktail hour hosted by Personal Touch Dining.

 

This gorgeous rustic-chic seating chart perfectly displays the luxurious and romantic motif the happy couple sought!

 

 

 

Don’t think we missed the gold flatware and glass chargers.

 

We love it when couples take the extra time to think about their tablescape!!

 

 

To go with their rustic-chic look, Amy and Sean brought in The Photobus to keep guests busy with pictures and wild props throughout the night.

 

DJ Nick Weiss transitioned effortlessly from singing and playing guitar for the ceremony to rocking the main dance floor.

 

 

Everyone in attendance was lucky enough to witness another one of Leo Carrillo Ranch’s spectacular sunsets, with an extra twist!

 

The clouds parted and revealed a double rainbow, which made for some one-in-a-lifetime pictures snagged by Harmony Haft Photography.

 

 

 

We’re so excited for these two and their bright future ahead of them!

 

Honored that they chose to celebrate with us, we wish them all the best.

 

 

 

Thanks to all the vendors who helped this event run so smooth!

Come with us on a journey through a rustic, wild Ranch Wedding!

 

 

Ashley Gabrielson, of AshGabes Photography, caught Loren looking incredible with her vintage-inspired dress in our Bridal Suite with all of its antique splendor!

 

She and her band of beautiful bridesmaids rocked the “mismatched” look, we love the romper pantsuit!

 

 

Johnathan, who goes by Nano, followed the ladies and also had his groomsmen in mismatching suits!

 

The happy couple chose to have a First Look in the Hacienda!

The ceremony out on the Wash House Patio was heartfelt, romantic, and had everyone rolling with laughter.

 

When the love birds finally sealed their vows with a kiss, the area went wild!

 

 

Almost too wild!

 

Our peacocks are always trying to crash the party, nothing stands between them and a good time.

 

 

Don’t mind us, we’ll just keep basking in this “I Do” glow!

 

Always one of the best parts of these days.

 

 

A quiet moment alone after the ceremony is a chance for the happy couple to catch their breath after the rush.

 

 

But you’re never alone for long with friends like these!

 

The groomsmen wanted to show Nano their support of his choice in Loren.

 

 

The ladies were all so excited, they could tell Nano was the right guy for their bestie.

 

 

The floral arrangements for each bridal party member and the table centerpieces were all from Kendra’s Floral Design.

 

 

These frosty proteas are gorgeous, and quickly gaining popularity with our rustic weddings for their desert vibe.

 

 

Guests welcomed these two onto the dance floor for their first, but nobody was prepared for their surprise dance routine!

 

 

Sound Prodigy is one of our favorite party-savvy vendors to work with.

 

DJ Pat knows how to keep the dance floor busy all through the night!

 

 

 

For dessert, Nano and Loren asked the ever-talented Personal Touch Dining to make some of their famous churros!

Freshly fried on-site, the churro station comes with whipped cream, caramel, and chocolate syrup to put even the most resilient sweet tooth to rest.

 

 

This group was so much fun to host here at The Ranch.

We adored working with Loren and Nano, and we wish them nothing but the brightest joy in their future together!

 

 

 

Thanks to all the amazing vendors who helped us pull off yet another fantastic event!

Special thanks, as always, goes to Personal Touch Dining  for the coordination, venue management, and catering of all our special events.
