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!

Amanda and Andrew were unbelievably fun to work with.

They kept us smiling throughout the entire planning process and made sure to

remind everyone that their wedding was a celebration!

Enjoy yourselves!

We can’t thank them enough for choosing us to spend their special day with them.

They had a wonderful sense of humor which also showed in all of their friends and family.

 

 

Their Bridal Party was energetic, positive, and always up for a great time.

 

Personal Touch Dining provided a full Mexican Style buffet with Mexican Cesar Salad, a Carnitas and Grilled Fish Taco Bar, Chilli Verde, Spanish Rice, and Black Beans.

The tables were set simply with yellow and burgundy accents which were complemented by our dark wood chairs and crisp white table linens.

To add the couple’s own bit of personality, each table was numbered by a different Disney Ride Post Card!

The guests had to use their “Fast Pass” escort cards to find their seats.

Such a fun personal touch by the Bride and Groom!

 

 

Andrew and Amanda brought one of our favorite vendors to the party as well!

Pixster came with their photo booth and hilarious props and entertained guests all night long.

 

 

Personal Touch Dining also provided a sweet treat to end the night.

S’mores!

Everyone custom roasted their mallows and paired their graham crackers with either a classic Hershey’s chocolate or Reese’s peanut butter cup.

 

 

We loved working with these two and hope that their sense of adventure and fun continues throughout their marriage!

 

Thanks to BE Studios for giving us all these amazing pictures

and again to Personal Touch Dining for the food

as well as Management and Coordination!
