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!
