Madison + Greg | Laurie Ashley Photography

 

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!

Laura + Jason | Pauline Conway Photography

 

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!

Jessica + Mike | Studio 7 Photography

 

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.

Amy + Sean | Harmony Haft | Historic Leo Carrillo Ranch Weddings

 

 

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!

Claudia + Reggie | True Photography | Leo Carrillo Ranch Weddings

 

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!

 

 

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.

 

Lindsey + John | Meurer Image Photography | Leo Carrillo Ranch

 

Love the Earth as You Would Each Other

These two Earth-conscious love birds didn’t let the craziness of wedding planning distract them from their constant efforts to be as eco-friendly as possible.

Lindsey and her Bridesmaids looked so elegant in their color-coordinated gowns!

We love the depth of this option for dresses offers through pictures.

John and his Groomsmen also looked very sophisticated in their dark blue suits.

The wedding colors were prominent, but not overdone, resulting in a very tasteful presence.

The centerpieces and other floral arrangements from Cherry Blossom Floral Designs had a magnificent pure beauty and grace.

The Farm Tables the happy couple chose to go with looked like they belonged in our large open dining area!

All the tables needed for decoration were eucalyptus runners and some classic lanterns for the centerpieces!

We love the idea of having the Mason Jar water glasses; it adds a playful feeling to an otherwise traditional motif.

For their wedding favors, each guest received an aluminum engraved reusable straw.

This gift was perfect for Lindsey and John’s Earth-friendly lifestyle.

These two are just the sweetest.

During their first dance, their love could be felt by the whole party.

For dinner, Personal Touch Dining served food from four different food stations where guests could choose the dishes they preferred, or have all four!

(Between Herbed Chicken Roulade, Fresh Grilled Quesadillas, Short Ribs with Waffle Fries, and Salmon with a Coconut Curry Sauce everyone went home more than well-fed.)

Have we mentioned our iconic sunsets?

Not to sound too biased, but they’re some of the best in San Diego.

So we’re thrilled Meurer Image Photography helped prove us right!

Flour Power provided a dainty cake topped for Lindsey and John to cut together

which Personal Touch Dining helped supplement with a fantastic Ice Cream Sundae Station accompanied by a mountain of incredible topping choices!

Thank you, John and Lindsey, for choosing our beloved Ranch to spend your special day!

Your love for each other and the Earth is a shining example of what our futures could be if we put our hearts into it.

Thanks to all of the vendors for the hard work and excellent professionalism as always!

Special thanks to Personal Touch Dining for Managing, coordinating, and Catering all our events.

Ashley + Kristopher | Chana and Don Photography | Leo Carrillo Ranch

 

 

Photo by Chana and Don provided these fantastic pictures of one of our favorite weddings!

 

 

We’ve used pictures of Ashley and Kris’ wedding as examples of some fun and original ways to decorate and display a couple’s personal touch on their wedding.

 

 

Like at most of our weddings and receptions, their ceremony was on our upper patio in front of the historic Wash House and gorgeous pepper tree.

We love this angle that Chana and Don used!

 

After the ceremony, Personal Touch Dining offered libations and appetizers to the hungry guests.

 

 

Their Seating Chart is just one of the reasons we use their photos as an example of what a little imagination can bring to a common item!

Custom built by the family, this seating chart was definitely an eye-catcher and the gentle ombre of each guest’s name card sets our yearly goals aesthetically!

 

Their tablescape was on-point too!

 

These farm tables are so versatile and the centerpieces from Splendid Sentiments are the perfect size for that uncluttered classy look.

 

 

To entertain the crowd, they brought in The Photo Bus fully equipped with props and loads of fun!

 

 

 

Flour Power brought in yet another delicious confectionery delight and Personal Touch Dining sweetened the deal with extra take-away bites while they cut the cake!

 

 

These favors were adorable, plus the jar can be re-used at home when the candy is gone!

 

 

Just wanted to thank Kris and Ashley for choosing us to spend their big day with!

So much effort and collaboration went into making this night flawless and we couldn’t have done it without the other awesome vendors who were there with us!

Finally, huge thanks to Personal Touch Dining for Managing, Coordinating, and Catering all our events!

 

 

Jennifer + John | Gretchell Rapayrapay Photography | San Diego Event Venues

These two were adorable exploring secret spots to enjoy some precious moments alone before the busy night to come.

 

Look at this stunning dress!

 

The Wash House Patio Ceremony Site was captured in pre-ceremony stillness by Gretchell Rapayrapay

and we love how she was able to reveal its soft and welcoming nature.

 

Jennie looked radiant all day, but especially bright in our vintage Bridal Suite!

 

 

White weddings are so classic, we love how they match our Hacienda!

 

Centerpieces and many other decorations were made by the Bride and Groom!

Simple, clean, and beautiful!

 

Each guest got to take home an adorable succulent candle!

 

These sunsets never cease to amaze us.

 

Personal Touch Dining served a delicious assortment of Jennie and John’s favorites from their menu:

Miso Glazed Salmon with Green Onion and Sesame Seeds, Panko Encrusted Herb chicken with a Gruyere Cheese Sauce,

Garlic and Chive Whipped Potatoes, In-Season Veggies, and a Strawberry Salad with Goat Cheese and Toasted Almonds.

 

DJ Bill Calhoun Mobile Music is shown here, conducting the Father/Daughter Dance.

Just one of the significant unofficial events that create the pyramid of special moments during a wedding reception.

 

Desserts were provided by Personal Touch Dining as well and the Cabana always looks its best when frosted!

 

We loved being part of Jennie and John’s special day!

Thanks to all the wonderful vendors who helped us make this such a magical night!

Mary Louise + Scott | Anastasya Photography | Carlsbad Event Venue

 

With their ceremony off-site, Mary Louise and Scott came to the Ranch and got right into the party!

 

 

Welcomed by the Mariachi Band’s festive music and Personal Touch Dining’s delicious appetizers, guests made their way to the cocktail hour!

They were served Tomato Basil Bisque Shooters with Grilled Asiago Cheese Points, Mini  Bacon Bleu Cheese Beef Sliders, and Chicken & Waffle Bites!

Ananstasya Photography did a fabulous job of catching Mary Louise and Scott all over our Ranch at perfect photo spots!

Who knew we had so many?! *wink wink*

 

For extra entertainment, Mary Louise and Scott hired The Photo Bus to drive right in and open as the night’s photo booth.

We love working with The Photo Bus because we know they always show up on time, have fantastic and professional attitudes, are helpful to guests, and everyone has a blast!

 

Rositas Flowers was responsible for the stunning floral arrangements that covered every flat area of our Ranch.

It looked like a eucalyptus wonderland!

 

Our Reflection Pool so often gets overlooked in the decoration process, and we loved the little lanterns placed around the area.

They were adorable and even promoted safety!

(We’ll take any help we can get to keep our guests aware of the reflection pool edge…)

 

Once the cocktail hour finished, guests checked out the hand-made seating chart to find their seats.

Each name was written on a eucalyptus leaf!

Such an act of love and so unique!

 

Scott and Mary Louise had their first dance as Husband and Wife in front of all of their family and friends to mark the start of their glorious future together.

 

There was a small blessing, and then Personal Touch Dining opened the dinner buffet!

 

Mouths watering, the guests served themselves the Traditional Ceasar Salad, Fresh In-Season Veggies, and Savory Parmesan Potatoes.

With these sides, they could then finish their meals off with Herb Encrusted Mahi Mahi in a bright Lemon Chardonnay Sauce and some Citrus & Oregano Marinated Grilled Tri-Tip.

A recurring theme throughout Scott and Mary Louise’s personalized decor was Wall E and Eve from Disney!

Here on the Sweetheart Table were a pair of the cutest Wedding Mouse Ears!

 

Once each guest ate, toasts began, and the happy couple’s family and friends delivered heartfelt and beautiful speeches.

 

Wall E and Eve reappeared on their cake-topper too!

They were decked in their wedding finest and melted all of our hearts.

 

When Scott and Mary Louise decided to cute their cake, provided by Flour Power (another one of our favorite vendors), guests were able to choose from a vast assortment of desserts to satisfy their sugar cravings!

Personal Touch Dining presented an elaborate display of sweets including doughnut holes, cupcakes, carrot cake bites, and an entire separate Churro Station as well!

 

As a small token of thanks from the love birds to their family and friends, Scott and Mary Louise provided miniature wedding bells to “ring” them “into a lifetime of love and happiness!”

 

Finally, after much dancing and memories made, Mary Louise and Scott made their grand escape through a tunnel of loved ones, the sound of bells, and glow sticks to light the way into their happy future together!

 

 

We truly appreciate these two choosing us to help them celebrate their big day!

We wanted to thank all of our awesome vendors mentioned above, especially Anastasya Photography for providing us with all of these spectacular photos

and Personal Touch Dining for Managing, Coordinating, and Catering all of our events!
