Madison + Michael | Tayler Ashley Photography | Leo Carrillo Ranch

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.
