Bohemian Bold!

 

This resourceful pair combined stunning desert scene photographs, a wild romantic ceremony arch, and minimalist table centerpieces to convey their love of adventure and modern bohemian spirit.

 

 

This gorgeous bride thought of every detail, using the accent colors in her bouquet to inspire her fabulous accessories!

Ginny paired her elegant lace bodice wedding gown with fun pale salmon fringe statement earrings and a set of gorgeous burnt orange satin heels.

 

 

To add a deep contrast to all the warm color tones, Michael and his groomsmen looked sharp in their navy suits.

 

 

In the privacy of the Hacienda’s side garden, the love birds snuck in their First Look.

 

 

Guests made sure to drop off gifts, cards, and any other wedding “responsibilities” at the Welcome Table before finding their ceremony seat.

 

 

Michael and Ginny fell in love with our Washouse’s rustic charm and chose to use it as the base of their incredible ceremony arch.

Rebecca Eichten Floral Art and Design blew us away with her spectacular array of dried desert flowers!

 

 

After the heartfelt vows, everyone cheered for The Big Kiss!

 

 

 

Glowing with excitement, the newlyweds made their way back down the aisle together as Husband and Wife.

 

 

We were so impressed by the statement this bar sign makes with its mesmerizing background!

As Singler Photography stole the happy couple and some choice family away for formal pictures, the rest of the guests helped themselves to the bar from Personal Touch Dining.

 

 

The theme continued to the seating chart as well!

Guests enjoyed the Pixster Photo Booth, and fresh appetizers made on-site from Personal Touch Dining before finding their tables.

 

 

The custom table markers explained the significance of each name to the Bride and Groom.

We love the ingenious use of cement pots to add modern flair to the rustic desert foliage in the centerpieces.

 

 

Every place setting showed an incredible amount of heartfelt attention to detail by Michael and Ginny!

It included a custom menu card, a bundle of sage as a wedding favor, and thank-you-note escort cards.

 

 

After an incredible dinner from Personal Touch Dining, the guests took to the dance floor with Sound Illusions and rocked the night away!

 

 

We’re so happy for this beautiful couple, and are beyond grateful for the chance to be part of their special day!

 

Thanks to the fantastic team of vendors who helped us make the magic happen!

Special thanks to Personal Touch Dining for the Special Event Coordination, Catering, and Venue Management!

We’re so excited to talk about Shelby and Emily’s special day here at our Ranch!

Thanks to Joe & Kathrina Photography, we’ve got some beautiful pictures to share.

 

After a heartfelt ceremony on our Wash House Patio, guests made their way down to our reception area.

Refreshing craft cocktails and delicious appetizers, made fresh on-site from Personal Touch Dining, circulated the area while everyone enjoyed mingling with their family and friends.

A vintage lounge area, from Sundrop Vintage Rentals, overlooked the patio games.

New lounge areas like this are high quality, comfortable, and perfect for any Instagram-worthy photo opportunities!

Beautiful Savage Flowers brought vibrant blues and pops of pink into their floral arrangements.

Overall, it had a wild romantic quality that blended seamlessly with the happy couple’s decor!

After cocktail hour, the newlyweds joined the party with their Grand Entrance, soon followed by their First Dance!

Guests enjoyed the heartwarming champagne toasts from the Bride and Groom’s parents, and then the buffet opened.

Personal Touch Dining served up another fantastic buffet dinner.

The guests were thrilled with the savory carved-to-order Tri-Tip and extra spicy Horseradish Cream Sauce!

Nick Weiss Music opened the dancefloor to everyone after dinner, and guests danced off just enough of their dinner to make room for the dessert!

The love birds decided to have a Couple’s Cake for their cake cutting ceremony.

We love the floral decoration on this beautiful cake!

Personal Touch Dining provided a full dessert display on our Dessert Bar for the guests to enjoy.

Between the Brownies, Lemon Squares, Cheese Cake Bites, and Chocolate Chip Cookies, everyone got exactly what they wanted!

We’re so happy for this incredible couple, and wish them all the best in their beautiful future together!

Thanks to all the excellent vendors who helped make this day so unique for Shelby and Emily!

We couldn’t do what we love without all your help.

Extra appreciative of Personal Touch Dining for the Catering, Event Coordination, and Venue Management of all our special events!

Unique, Vibrant, and Bursting With Love

 

Angela and Morgan brought their closest friends and family to our ranch for their intimate ceremony beneath our welcoming Pepper Tree.

Wearing fabulous matching suits for their vows, they set the tone for their one-of-a-kind reception!

 

 

Angela encouraged her Bridesmaids to wear their most glamorous evening wear, ensuring everyone felt and looked their best that night!

 

 

Tina Jair, a friend of the love birds, arranged a unique bouquet or boutonniere for each member of the Bridal Party!

 

 

Personal Touch Dining provided the most excellent service for their buffet dinner, and after a lovely champagne toast, the dance floor opened!

 

 

DJ Pat, of Sound Prodigy, kept the party rocking, and the guests enjoyed drinking and dancing the night away.

 

 

We’re so honored to be part of this special day, and we wish Morgan and Angela all the best in their bright future together!

 

Thanks to all the terrific vendors who helped us make the magic happen, especially Personal Touch Dining, for all their hard work in so many facets of our operations.

Spring is our Peacock season, here at the Ranch, so there were plenty prowling around hoping for the chance with Joseph McCalment Photo + Video for a mini photoshoot!

 

 

We’ll never get tired of the magic that happens during ceremonies held beneath our stately Pepper Tree.

 

 

The heartfelt vows and the Big Kiss got everyone in the crowd cheering for the newlyweds!

 

 

Walking back down the aisle, showing off that “I Do” Glow, Markie and Ryan got a chance to bask in the love and support from their family and friends.

 

 

To start the party, Personal Touch Dining fed peckish guests while encouraging them to try their craft cocktails.

 

 

Their home-made seating chart went perfect with our rustic vibe!

 

 

The love birds decorated the tables themselves, choosing to think ahead and make each table number a memento for future anniversaries!

 

 

The Bride and Groom offered this sweet treat Candy Station, open all evening, for their guests to make to-go bags as a party favor!

 

 

Once all guests were seated, the happy couple rejoined the party with their Grand Entrance and First Dance!

 

 

Soon after, Personal Touch Dining began their dinner service with yet another fantastic hearty buffet.

 

 

Their fresh In-Season Veggitables, savory Oven Roasted Parmesan Potatoes, and Herb Parmesan Crusted Chicken with a Garlic Cream Sauce are all favorites in any crowd.

 

 

As the final touch to their buffet, their mouth-watering Citrus & Oregano Marinated Tri-Tip is carved-to-order for the juiciest cuts.

 

 

Everyone gathered in our Cabana for the official Cake-Cutting, hoping for a chance to see a mischievous bit of cake end up on someone’s face.

 

 

 

Instead of cake for the guests, Personal Touch Dining arranged a delightful dessert bar for everyone to try donut holes, brownies, cannolis, and more!

 

 

The rest of the evening was in the trustworthy hands of Sound Prodigy, who kept the dancefloor full and guests happy for the rest of the party.

 

 

We are so honored to have been part of the memories these two will share for the rest of their lives, and we wish them nothing but the best in their future together!

 

 

We couldn’t do what we love without the incredible team of vendors who make it all possible.

Thanks to everyone who was there that day helping make the magic happen!

Special thanks to Personal Touch Dining for their constant professionalism and dedication to excellence in Catering, Event Coordination, and Venue Management.

Rustic Romance at the Ranch

 

 

We wish more of our clients used the front of our historic Hacienda for their ceremony backdrop!

For big groups like Sydney and Kevin’s guest list, this vast space is perfect!

 

 

These charming flower girls nearly stole the show!

Delighting everyone by surprise, we can’t think of a better way to honor beloved family members by including them in the wedding ceremony.

 

 

After a heartfelt ceremony, this happy couple shared their first of many kisses as Husband and Wife!

 

 

The “I Do” Glow never gets old!

As the family and Bridal Party stayed behind for pictures, the rest of the guests made their way through the Hacienda courtyard to the main reception area.

 

 

Once there, guests enjoyed craft cocktails, music, and were encouraged to sign the happy couple’s guestbook.

 

 

Personal Touch Dining kept the drinks flowing and delicious bite-sized appetizers always on hand!

As always, all of their food is made fresh and on-site!

 

 

As an extra treat, the love birds asked to provide a Leaning Tower of “Cheese-a” for guests to help themselves to as well!

 

 

On top of our plethora of lawn games we provide, The Happy Camper Photo Bus added one more way for guests to have fun throughout the night.

 

 

Finally, it was time for everyone to find their seats, so the night’s formal events could begin.

Fun DIY seating charts like this are cute, unique, and economical!

 

 

With so many guests, Sydney and Kevin had a wide variety of seating options.

Half the guests sat at Farm Tables, which not only look fantastic at our rustic venue but also need very little in the way of decoration because of their gorgeous dark wood finish!

 

 

At each seat, the guests found their names, hand-written by the Bride and Groom, on terracotta coasters.

These doubled as escort cards and fun favors to take home!

 

 

Back from family and romantic sunset pictures, with David Manning Photographer, the newlyweds finally rejoined the party with the Grand Entrance!

We love this shot of these two framed in a tunnel made by their Bridal Party.

 

 

Often the first time a couple gets to sit down and relax, the moment the grand entrance finishes, Personal Touch Dining offers them a tray of appetizers and helps our Event Coordination Team plate-up their dinner for them.

 

 

After an exquisite and plentiful Mexican Style Buffet dinner, guests enjoy a champagne toast, and then got ready for dessert by getting a little dancing in with DJ Nick Weiss!

 

 

Most couples these days opt-out of a grand, multi-tiered wedding cake and go for a small Couple’s cake for the cake-cutting ceremony.

Personal Touch Dining offered a mouth-watering donut spread for perfect to-go desserts to keep the dancing going!

 

 

We loved working with this incredible couple and their talented coordinator, Jessica Nelson, and can’t wait to see what their future holds!

 

Thanks to all the fantastic vendors who helped us make the day possible.

A special shout-out goes to Personal Touch Dining for their diverse skill-set and expertise in everything they do!
