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!

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

Dusky Dreams

 

 Soft, breathless, and romantic.

There’s not a moment’s hesitation searching for the right word; each strikes out at us after reliving this magical day.

 

Radiant from the moment we first met her, touring the Ranch, Brittany was absolutely resplendent on the big day.

 

 

Her wild and care-free waves fit perfectly with her easy-going personality and lacey bohemian wedding dress.

We are obsessed with the whimsical floral hairpiece from Bluebell Florals!

 

 

Bluebell Florals was also the artistic genius behind all the magnificent bouquets, table arrangements, and ceremony pieces!

Every piece was so wonderfully romantic and full of variety, yet out of the extensive amount of flowers, none ever seemed out of place.

 

 

 

 

 

Even Jon-Erik’s boutonniere took our breath away!

So much detail in such a small space and it still evokes this sense of whispy dream-like fragility.


 

Jon-Erik and his groomsmen were dressed to impress, and their classic black suits created a deliciously masculine contrast to the creamy, delicate setting around them.

 

 

Twinkle and Toast created the custom signage throughout Brittany and Jon-Erik’s wedding planning experience, from the invites to the seating chart.

Their work synced perfectly with the surrounding floral pieces, creating a symphony of aesthetic delicacies.

 

 

We love this copper arch used during the ceremony and again later for behind the sweetheart table.

The delicate frame is barely there, yet continues to carry on the gossamer motif seen throughout the event.

 

 

Finally, the moment everyone had been waiting for: The Big Kiss!

This shot by Brogen Jessup Photography completely stole our hearts; how can someone capture something so beautiful?

 

 

After the ceremony, guests were encouraged to enjoy the cocktail hour where Personal Touch Dining kept the drinks flowing and appetizers endless.

Finding your seat on this gorgeous seating chart by Twinkle and Toast slowly turns into just staring, capturing all the details.

 

Hostess Haven provided the tabletop rentals.

Each piece, from cutlery to water goblet, was picked specifically by Alessandra the event planner and coordinator from Details, Darling.

 

This collection of mismatched pieces harmonized beautifully!

Trade Secret: Any occasion we get to see custom table settings, where someone took the time to put their heart into every tiny detail, we get a little more excited about the event!

 

The sweetheart table, complete with the ceremony flowers and arch, looked like a rustic-bohemian fantasy come to life.

These feathery floral pieces make us want to reach out and touch the downy-softness for ourselves!

 

The rest of the night was a whirlwind of entertainment from The SD Photo Bus and Sound Prodigy as guests were whisked away into the happy couple’s paradise!

 

 

Huge thanks go out to Alessandra from Details, Darling for treating us with this incredible event and making the planning process so fluid!

Thanks to all our other vendors as well, we wouldn’t have been able to create the magic without you!

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.

DIY Done Right!

Danny and Kate poured their hearts into every detail of their wedding day.

Kate spent years meticulously combing over antique shop treasures, collecting the perfect decor to turn her dream into a reality here at the Ranch.

 

During their first look, the anticipation nearly killed Danny, and his excitement was infectious.

When Kate finally rounded the corner, Danny’s face was priceless.

We had to get a close-up!

 

 

All the genuine shock and awe are tangible in this picture and it instantly makes our job worth it.

You can’t get this anywhere else!

 

 

They’re too cute!

How do we bottle this feeling? We’d make millions!

 

 

After their first look, their friends in the Bridal Party were able to get in on the action and had some fun with  Jordan Elizabeth Photography.

 

 

Kate and her Bridesmaids brought the fire with those sassy shades and sleek champagne dresses!

 

 

The ceremony was out in front of our Hacienda, and we LOVE it when clients utilize its natural rustic charm!

 

Here’s Danny, melting our hearts, yet again, with love just pouring out of his face.

We can only take so much, Danny! Jeez.


Kate’s brother officiated the ceremony and, as we had come to expect, there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd during the exchange of vows.

 

 

 

 

This shot is simply perfection.

 

 

And how could we not include the “After Glow” moment?

It’s one of our guilty pleasures!

 

The love birds were able to escape after the ceremony to revel in their first moments as Husband and Wife together while the rest of the guests were encouraged to enjoy cocktail hour with tasty refreshments and appetizers from Personal Touch Dining.

 

The gorgeous floral arrangements and Kate’s stunning bouquet were from the talented Chic Pink Petals Designs and Events.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We can’t help but be impressed by how perfectly her bouquet goes with our vibe here at the Ranch!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Kate also has the right eye for detail, and she took our rustic-chic look to a new level with all the hand made decor she worked on for this big day.

 

The Seating Chart, hand-crafted by this brilliant Bride, blew us away with the macrame mixed with the brass from the frame. It’s just spectacular!

 

 

Each guest’s name was on a small plaque tied into the design and demonstrates the time and effort she put into making everything look just right.

 

 

The Head Table, framed in the same greenery that grows naturally all around our beautiful venue, looked like something out of a fairy tale.

 

Kate collected every water goblet, charger, and napkin herself!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She knew the exact look she wanted and went for it, obviously with stunning results.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

She also brought a customized cake server, hand made all the table numbers and the guest book!

Round of applause for this amazing DIY Bride!

 

 

After a quick round of toasts, Personal Touch Dining served an amazing Taco Bar buffet where guests had loads of topping choices to customize their meals!

 

 

As soon as everyone ate, it was time to let loose!

 

DJ Manny from Sound Illusions rocked the dance floor and kept the guests grooving all night long.

 

Everyone jumped in line for a chance at their photoshoot in Rumor Photo Media’s photo booth.

 

 

For dessert, Danny and Kate cut a small cake topper from Flour Power and had Personal Touch Dining cook up some fresh churros for their guests!

 

 

 

 

 

 

The churro station was self serve and came with caramel sauce, fresh vanilla whipped cream, and chocolate syrup.

 

 

 

These two certainly left an impression on us as well as on the Ranch as a whole.

Anytime this much love comes around the whole park comes alive!

 

We just wanted to thank Kate and Danny for choosing to spend their special day with us.

We loved having them.

 

Huge thanks also go out to all the vendors mentioned for making the day fly by so flawlessly!

Especially Personal Touch Dining for Catering, Coordinating, and Managing all our events here at the Ranch!

Where Polish Meets Peach!

 

Amy and Mike had a gorgeous bohemian ceremony and reception here at the Ranch and we loved their deep peach and soft charcoal color theme.

Michelle McClure coordinated and everything looked flawless!

 

Blue Bell Floral was the artist responsible for these gorgeous floral creations.

There were so many interesting and complimentary flowers they used; every time we looked at a bouquet we saw something fun and new!

The Bridal Party looked fantastic in their Marine Dress Blues, black suits, and platinum gowns.

Our Visitor Center Barn cast the perfect backdrop to fit everybody in the shot.

The ceremony at the Pepper Tree in the Wash House Patio enchanted us with the charming yet simple decor.

The Persian rugs and wicker baskets naturally complimented our red stones and dark wooden chairs.

Kami Olavarria Photo absolutely rocked it capturing all the amazing moments throughout the night.

Just look at this “We Did It” glow!

Personal Touch Dining provided appetizers and bar service during cocktail hour while guests enjoyed the perfect weather, mingled, and played some of our lawn games.

This Custom Seating Chart was the perfect mix of clean lines and whimsical flowers and matched the rest of the decor seamlessly!

White, Charcoal and Peachy Terracotta made for a fresh yet rustic feel and the triple-long center table created a fun focal point to the main dining area.

The Grand Entrance had a special Marine tradition: The Arch of Swords, ( AKA Spanking the Spouse according to Military Wedding Traditions), where the Bride and Groom entered the reception area through a tunnel of swords. At the end of the tunnel, they’re stopped and encouraged to kiss which allows them to pass the final guards. As they move past, the last Marine gives the civilian spouse a light tap on the behind and says “Welcome to the Marines!”

This lighthearted and sweet tradition was a treat for all as we watched Amy get accepted into the Marine Family.

Flour Power baked a delicious traditional three-tiered wedding cake, enough to feed all the delighted guests.

Another exciting Marine Wedding Tradition was the Sword Cake Cutting!

Everyone gathered to watch as Mike and Amy expertly sliced out a piece to share.

Pixster helped entertain the party with their user-friendly photobooth packed full of props!

Bill Calhoun Mobile Music was fabulous to work with as always and kept the fiesta flowing all night!

The dancefloor was THE place to be after dinner and the guests had a blast.

 

Just wanted to thank Amy and Mike for choosing to include us in their special day!

We had so much fun with you!

Round of applause to all the awesome vendors mentioned who helped us out and made everything so perfect.

Special thanks to Personal Touch Dining for Managing and Catering all our events!

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!

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!

Wine-reds added a russet touch to our rustic ranch.

Our signature sunsets seemed to be on the mind when Kevin and Kaleigh chose their color pallet.

 

The varying shades of reds, oranges, and bright yellows all warmly blend together while making the blue of Kevin’s suit seem to glow!

 

ABM Wedding Photography was able to capture some amazing detail shots like the one above and this one of the rings

which we are just obsessed with!

Kaleigh looked absolutely radiant in her gown and made our Ranch seem to sit-up and shake the dust off as she walked by!

 

 

They also had some cleverly unique decorations for our reflecting pool which we’re always excited to see get some love.

 

 

These home-made floating frames peacefully drifted with the wind and showed off the happy couple’s engagement pictures!

 

 

The ceremony was in our Wash House patio with the ever-wonderful Bethel Nathan from Ceremonies by Bethel.

 

Kaleigh and Kevin decided to have a few floral decorations down the aisle,

but kept it beautiful and simple,

allowing our Ranch’s natural beauty to shine through.

 

 

 

The dining area was framed in Farm Tables and we can’t get enough of all the dark wood to off-set our light and natural tones.

While admiring the floral arrangements, you might assume a professional came through and delivered each piece,

but it was actually Kaleigh’s Grandmother who decorated!

 

 

 

Thanks to her help with those final touches, the floor looked exquisite.

 

 

 

Guests were each given a custom-made wine glasses as a wedding favor to use throughout the night.

 

 

 

Personal Touch Dining added Crispy Bacon Crumbles to their already delicious Chicken and Waffel Bites at the request of the happy couple.

The result was an explosion of sweet and salty flavors that had the guests ravenous for more!

 

 

 

As the sun began to set, Personal Touch Dining served dinner.

Kevin and  Kaleigh chose their Citrus + Oregano Marinated Tri-Tip and Mahi Mahi with a Lemon Chardonnay Sauce

to go with Oven Roasted Potatoes, Fresh Vegetables, and a Spring Greens Salad.

 

 

 

For dessert, everyone was excited to see cookies, lemon squares, cake shooters, cake-pops, blondies, and fresh churros!

A little bit of each sweet is a sure recipe to a hungry guest’s heart.

 

 

Thanks again to Kevin and Kaleigh for choosing us to be part of their special day!

We loved celebrating your love!

 

Thanks also go to ABM Wedding Photography for the stunning wedding shots

and to Personal Touch Dining for the Catering, Coordination, and Management of our Ranch!
