We asked these newlyweds a couple of questions to help us navi-gate this post.

They had so many beautiful details to share, we figured, “Why try to force it?“

So, we pass the mic to the love birds, Daniel and Breanna, as they reminisce about their wedding here at the Ranch!

(What could goron?)

How did you both choose your wedding day look?

 

Breanna: “Daniel knew he wanted a lighter colored tuxedo to stand out from the crowd while also fitting the outdoor, afternoon setting. He found a grey tuxedo he liked at Men’s Wearhouse and looked no further.”

Daniel: “Before she knew anything about what kind of dress she wanted, Breanna knew she wanted to wear white boots to the wedding. The dress was a surprise find from Anthropologie[…] Not expecting to find anything, she stumbled upon the perfect dress—comfortable, simple, elegant, and the last one was in her size!”

How did you decorate your space for the ceremony and the reception? Was any part of the decor DIY?

 

Both: “We mostly left the decor in the hands of Adina (we used Simply Adina Floral Design for all our flowers) to decorate the space with flowers and other plants. She did an amazing job carrying out our visions for the day, and it was a beautiful surprise on the wedding day to see what she had done. We also bought a few decorative signs from Michael’s and Hobby Lobby and bought chalkboards to write rules for the board games on.”

What was the most anticipated or special moment of your wedding day?

 

B: “Daniel’s most anticipated moment was seeing [Breanna] for the first time as [I] walked down the aisle. Of course, he hadn’t seen the dress before, only heard from everyone else that it was absolutely beautiful and perfect.”

D: “It probably seems silly, but I was nervous about having no participation in such an important part of the wedding. When I finally saw her coming down the aisle, with curled hair, light makeup, and an incredible dress with a floral pattern, she was beautiful far beyond my expectations. Obviously, I had nothing to be nervous about in the first place.”

Did you personalize the day in any way (food trucks, guest entertainment, etc.)? What were some of your favorite parts of your wedding?

D: “Probably our biggest personal touch was in the music. We’re huge nerds for the Legend of Zelda video games, so we selected beautiful orchestral arrangements of two pieces from the Zelda series for our biggest moments. Breanna walked down the aisle to a piece called ‘Zelda’s Lullaby,’ and the music for our first dance, ‘Gerudo Valley,’ is also from that series. We took a couple of private ballroom dancing lessons, and our instructor choreographed an exciting Paso Doble full of passion. The music perfectly fit the occasion and provided a fun Easter egg for the few who recognized it. Those moments—the ceremony and the first dance—were absolutely our favorite parts of the wedding.”

D: “The ceremony was personalized in a couple of ways as well. Since Breanna is really close to her brothers, they stood on her side as bridesmen.”

B: “Daniel’s brother was also the officiant for the ceremony.”

Tell us about your wedding! What was the inspiration behind your day?

B: “I’d say Leo Carrillo Ranch itself inspired several aspects of our wedding. While we didn’t adhere too closely to any specific theme or traditions, we embraced the outdoor, southwest desert setting and Spanish cultural influence of the ranch. For example, we felt dressy casual attire was best for an outdoor, summer afternoon wedding. Many of the flower arrangements were accented with succulents and blue thistles (our color palette was dusty blue and sage green, not too different from the ranch itself). Our first dance was a Paso Doble, and the accompanying music, ‘Gerudo Valley,’ has Spanish influences and was even written to represent a desert region.”

D: “Breanna’s most anticipated moment was the first dance. We’d worked hard on practicing it, and it was exciting and thrilling to be doing something so complex and elaborate. It felt like an encapsulation of who we were—it was the kind of fun adventure and new experience that we like to do with each other, and the music meant so much to us.”

How did you meet? Tell us about the proposal.

“Having all but committed to each other long ago, Daniel proposed in June 2018. Breanna had gone home to visit her parents while Daniel stayed in Boulder, secretly preparing the engagement. He decorated the coffee table with tealight candles arranged in a heart and the dinner table with new napkins, a new tablecloth, apple pie from a local bakery, and a bouquet of flowers. Best of all, he adopted a fluffy orange and white cat; how could Breanna say no to that? The plan was to have a friend prepare a special Spiegel-family salmon recipe while Daniel picked Breanna up from the airport, but at the eleventh hour, the plan was ruined: Breanna’s flight had been canceled, and she would be coming back the next morning. With the new cat, Daniel knew he had no choice but to propose as soon as Breanna got home. As a ruse, he told her he had to work, and she would have to bus home. When Breanna got there, she was greeted to the aforementioned decorations and a trail of rose petals leading to the bedroom, where Daniel awaited with cat and ring. Of course, Breanna said yes and with perfect timing, for not a minute later did the tealight candles set off the fire alarm! Daniel made omelets for brunch and salmon for dinner. In the end, it was a proposal neither of us will ever forget.”

TL: DR

They met in high school and survived a long-distance relationship for four years through college, across the country from each other before finally reuniting in CO. Daniel’s first try at proposing, (like any true romantic, with all the flowers, candles, and a new cat for good measure) failed, because planes. Second attempt the next morning: success! But he set off the fire alarm.

 

Unforgettable.

 

Throughout this eventful day-wedding, vendors were executing moves behind the scenes in a symphony of flawless movements thanks to our fabulous Coordination Team.

 

True Photography was capturing priceless shots of perfect candid moments, while DJ Mike Hogan was a master MC and dance-floor wizard!

Personal Touch Dining served up amazing meals, and no guest left unsatisfied.

Do you have any wedding planning or marriage advice that you’d like to share with other couples planning their day?

 

D: “I think it’s important to plan the wedding in a way that feels special and right to the couple. Don’t be afraid to deviate from tradition when you have a better idea!”

One Last Tip!

 

B: “At the wedding, ask a few guests to take at least a couple of pictures! It was fantastic to have True Photography taking such amazing photos of our event, and I’m so glad that we didn’t have to worry about capturing the moments and could just enjoy the day. However, afterward, it was hard to wait so long for the photos to be edited and finalized, so we’re glad that a few friends took photos by themselves. Those casual photos from friends helped tide us over until we got the full set of professional photos from the day.”

When we initially asked this happy couple to answer some quick questions, we never expected this kind of response!

They said they felt “honored to be the subject of [our] blog,” but we are the ones genuinely privileged to be part of your big day.

We’re so glad this magical day was everything they dreamed it could be, and we wish these two all the best in their bright future together!

 

Thanks to all the incredible vendors who helped us, but especially Personal Touch Dining for the Catering, Coordination, and Venue Management of our beloved Ranch.

The ceremony, accompanied by musician and DJ Nick Weiss, was beautifully heartfelt.

Anna Delores Photography added a special treat to Lily and Ross’ wedding shoot by snapping some priceless polaroids for the happy couple to take home with them that night!

Pictured here is just a sampling of them all, but having an expert take polaroid pictures sure makes a difference in quality!

Kristin, of KO Floral Designs, added a little extra sunshine to everything she touched that day!

We love the delicate white and yellow floral choices she went with, it added so much to the romantic feel of the whole event.

After the ceremony, Personal Touch Dining kept guests thoroughly entertained while the love birds took some family pictures.

Between the lawn games, delectable bite-sized appetizers, and craft cocktails, guests of all ages were having a blast!

We love the way the main dining area turned out!

The crisp white linens are perfect for a fresh Spring day, and our dark wood chairs always create such a pleasant contrast.

KO Floral Designs provided the floral centerpieces, placing a sweet and simple arrangement on each table for guests to enjoy.

A little bit can go a long way on these round tables!

Nick Weiss played music for Ross and Lily’s Grand Entrance and First Dance.

We love Lily’s choice of her flowy strapless gown, it fits our Ranch’s motif perfectly, and she looked incredible!

Personal Touch Dining treated everyone to another fantastic buffet dinner, and we’ll never get tired of their famous Citrus Marinated Tri-Tip, always carved to-order!

What were some of your favorite parts of your wedding?

Lily: “Our favorite parts of our wedding were the sweet speeches from our family and friends, our first dance, and getting to spend time with the people we love but don’t get to see often enough. It was really special to have our dear friend read the poem Ross read to me when he proposed (Having a Coke with You, by Frank O’Hara) during our ceremony. Another special moment came from Ross’s aunt, Annie Leibovitz, who took portraits of us before our ceremony, something we will always treasure.”

Flour Power provided the adorable personal cake for the ceremonial Cake Cutting.

KO Floral Designs decorated it, and we can’t get over how cute all the dainty yellow flowers were!

Personal Touch Dining supplied the rest of the sweets for guests, who helped themselves to cupcakes from our dessert bar.

Huge thanks go out to Lily and Ross for choosing us to share in their special day, and for taking the time to answer our questions!

Hopefully, your words of wisdom will help any future couples looking for a starting point in their planning process.

From the Leo Carrillo Ranch Team, we wish these two all the best and can’t wait to see what their bright future has in store!

Thanks also to the fantastic vendors who helped us create such a magic-filled day!

We can’t do what we love without you all!

Our Ranch was featured on Lovely Day Journal!

The amazingly talented Astray Photography shared pictures from Doug and Anna’s special day with us,

and this gorgeous bohemian dream needs to be shared with the world!

Anna and Doug looked incredible against our historic white wall and terracotta backdrop.

They chose to accentuate their coral tones with soft neutrals, and the Hacienda Patio is the perfect place to show off that dynamite color combination!

Ruby Bloom decorated the whole Ranch with this color pallet in mind, and everything inch looked incredible.

We cannot get enough of Anna’s stunning gown; it looks like it was made with all her true spirit and grace in mind!

For all of Anna’s flowing soft lines, Doug was her perfect match with his sharp, handsome masculinity in his dark suit.

He and his groomsmen had a blast “getting ready” in our carriage house.

A quick First Look and the Love Birds were off to explore the grounds before the ceremony and night’s events officially started.

Guests were encouraged to sign the happy couple’s guest book, a Jenga piece, and write a small note (if they wanted) before sitting down for the ceremony.

After the “I Do’s,” guests helped themselves to a tasty beverage or appetizer from Personal Touch Dining!

Drink in hand, they cruised around the grounds, played some lawn games, and checked out pictures in the Cabana by our reflection pool.

The Newlyweds took this chance to escape for another photoshoot opportunity, now officially as husband and wife!

Their Grand Entrance and First Dance welcomed everyone onto the dancefloor with them so their loved ones could be close during that special moment.

Personal Touch Dining served up one of our favorite menus here at the Ranch: The Taco Bar!

A little bit of spicy from dinner was expertly topped off with some sweet as the perfect way to finish off the night.

Guests helped themselves to a wide range of desserts from the dessert station on our Cabana bar.

DJ Mike Hogan took the reigns for the rest of the evening and kept the dance floor rocking in between fun traditions such as the bouquet and garter toss.

We so enjoyed working with Anna and Doug on their big day!

We appreciate them choosing us to share all these priceless memories with and wish them all the best in their future together.

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!

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!

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.

Love as Colorfully as You Can!

This gorgeous artist always knew she wanted her special day to be as bright and lively as possible.

Our humble Ranch, with its soft tans, white, and gentle blues, was the perfect blank canvas!

Every color of the rainbow represented proudly by Claudia’s bridesmaids glowed through their assorted retro dresses and complimentary shawls.

We can’t think of a better photographer for such a vibrant arrangement than True Photography!

They spent the whole day with the happy couple capturing the essence of their special day.

But the fun wasn’t only for the ladies!

Reggie had his groomsmen all decked out in matching vests and ties to their partnering bridesmaids.

This gorgeous one-of-a-kind arch was assembled and decorated off-site,

then carried down to the ceremony location by loving family and friends eager to help with the day’s preparations!

During the ceremony, Reggie and Claudia made sure to personalize their vows by symbolically uniting their pasts to their shared future.

A sapling lime tree lovingly sprinkled with soil from each love bird’s childhood home, represented the future growth of Claudia and Reggie’s family and love.

After the tree-planting ceremony, the happy couple sealed their vows with a kiss, and were pronounced Husband and Wife!

Guests were encouraged to enjoy cocktail hour where Personal Touch Dining refreshed thirsty guests with craft cocktails,

and Can Ham Photobooth helped continue the retro flair and entertained with wild props for the best photos!

This glamorous couple left no detail untouched and personally crafted the centerpiece decor for the dining tables!

Each lantern, succulent pot, mini pinata, and personalized maraca was meant for the guests to take home as favors!

Everything was color coordinated, as you could have guessed, and our fantastic team of coordinators helped arrange everything exactly how they wanted it.

After the toasts, Personal Touch Dining dished out some amazing authentic Mexican cuisine, complete with every imaginable taco topping!

The floral accents and Claudia’s incredible bouquet were from La Belle Bloom, and we are so impressed with how well everything fit together with their wild decor!

Our little cabana never looked so vibrant!

Between the decorations provided by Reggie and Claudia, to the spectacular cake from Flour Power, the motif blended effortlessly.

The happy couple also provided some of their favorite sweets for guests to accompany the cake!

While these two escaped the party for a romantic photoshoot, DJ Bill Calhoun kept the guests rocking on the dancefloor the rest of the night!

We are so excited about this lovely couple, and we know their future will be as bright and full of life as their wedding day.

Thanks to all the fantastic vendors who helped make this day flow so effortlessly!

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

Hallmark, Eat Your Heart Out!

We don’t think you’re ready for the limitless amount of cuteness that is Maddy and Mike’s wedding and reception here at the Ranch.

These childhood sweethearts are the real-life inspiration for every sappy guilty pleasure rom-com we’ve watched.

In fact, their story was almost too perfect!

We were checking behind corners all day in hopes of finding a Hallmark Channel hidden camera somewhere.

Forget Romeo and Juliet, let’s all re-vamp the definition of a love story and aspire to be Mike and Maddy.

Tayler Ashley Photography did such a phenomenal job of capturing the feel of the day: breezy, sunny, warm, and full of sheer joy.

Evermore Floral was the genius behind the day’s floral arrangements, and Maddy’s Romantic Vintage vision was made real in this white rose masterpiece.

After their first look, the happy couple exchanged gifts and enjoyed a quiet moment together before the whirlwind of wedding fun swept them off their feet.

Tayler Ashley Photography took time with the whole bridal party, exploring the grounds and finding the best spots for these fantastic pictures.

The Stables offered some of the best pictures for both groups, with its iconic blue door and shaded alcove perfectly out of the sun.

This crew had a blast during this little photoshoot, and kept all of us laughing throughout the night!

Evermore Floral also worked their magic on our Wash House Patio Ceremony Site.

These breathtaking aisle markers doubled as the Sweetheart Table decorations after the nuptials.

As guests walked into the ceremony area, they were ushered in by Personal Touch Dining who provided refreshing Watermelon Cucumber Coolers as a welcome cocktail.

On the Welcome Table, friends and family could sign in, drop off gifts, and read the diary entry made by a tiny hopefull Madison long, long ago.

*Cue the waterworks*

If we’ve got any Boy Meets World fans out there, you’d know what we mean when we call them a “Corey and Topanga.”

These two grew up going to middle and high school together, were friends for years,

and first started dating right before Mike graduated high school–much to the surprise of their families!

And so began the love story.

(Finally, the moment everyone had been waiting for! )

As they were pronounced as Mr. and Mrs. to a round of tears, laughter, and cheers, we couldn’t help but feel included in the contagious excitement!

As the love birds went to take more pictures, and guests were encouraged to enjoy the cocktail hour.

Folklore Vintage Rentals had a stunning lounge area set up for guests to relax as they watched the lawn games.

Personal Touch Dining staff expertly set the dining tables while in collaboration with Evermore Floral and Folklore Vintage Rentals. 

The result was this exquisitely dreamy tablescape!

The Photo Bus was ready and waiting for revelers who wanted to add their best pictures to the newly-weds’ guest book.

Personal Touch Dining continued to serve delicious cocktails throughout the night and made sure to pass out the adorable custom koozies from the bride and groom.

After a lively grand entrance and loving first dance, Andy from The Groove encouraged the guests to join Maddy and Mike on the dance floor just before toasts.

Personal Touch Dining served dinner soon after, and the buffet was magnificent as always.

They never cease to impress!

To finish the formal events of the night on a sweet note, Maddy and Mike cut their cake together.

The Groove took over for the rest of the night and kept the dancefloor rocking as guests grabbed foam light-up wands to light up the night!

These wands also doubled as perfect tunnel-building tools and the grand exit transformed into a colorful trip into the future for the bride and groom.

We could not be happier or more in love with this love story.

We are beyond honored that these two wanted us to be a part of their special day, and we wish them a lifetime of wedded bliss.

Thanks to all the fantastic vendors who help us make these magic moments happen.

We couldn’t do it without help from you all!

A special thanks, as always, goes out to Personal Touch Dining for Coordinating, Managing, and Catering all of our special events here at the Ranch.

We so appreciate the time and effort it takes our clients to go out of their way and leave us these excellent reviews!
