When it came to celebrating Sutton and Nick, the combination of Greengate Ranch and Vineyard, the blooming colors of spring, and a couple deeply in love was magical. The Knot broke down how this wedding perfectly captured the essence of a romantic and whimsical celebration from the picturesque landscapes to the charming decor.

Greengate Ranch & Vineyard provided an idyllic backdrop for this pastel spring wedding. The venue's rustic elegance and sprawling grounds set the stage for an unforgettable celebration. With its ample greenery, rolling hills, and breathtaking views, it's no wonder this venue was chosen to host such a special day.

When you’re on the property, “you're surrounded by lush greenery, making it a perfect canvas for color”

Sutton, Bride

The couple's choice of a soft-hued palette perfectly complemented the season, adding an ethereal touch to the entire event. Soft shades of blush, lavender, mint, and baby blue were incorporated throughout from the floral arrangements by Plenty of Petals to the table settings from All About Events. These delicate shades created a romantic and blissful atmosphere that captured the essence of the season.

Sutton and Nick exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony held outdoors amidst nature's splendor. Along the aisle, arrangements of beautiful blossoms guided the way. Surrounded by family and friends, Sutton and Nick said “I Do”. The soft breeze and the gentle chirping of birds created a serene ambiance, making it a truly unforgettable moment for everyone present.

From custom wedding invitations designed by Swell Press Paper Co. featuring delicate watercolor designs to handcrafted place cards, every detail of this wedding reflected the couple's personality. The courtyard was decorated with sparkling fairy lights, creating a dreamy atmosphere as the sun set over the vineyards. The guests were treated to a delicious menu catered by Field to Table that showcased locally sourced ingredients and a stunning multi-tiered wedding cake.

Our latest feature in Carats & Cake is taking us back to Alyssa & Stephen's sweet October wedding. It’s not every weekend that our Grand Lawn is blanketed in pinks so this was a little extra fun to reminisce on!

Lovelyfest Event Design created a neutral toned oasis in the courtyard, outfitting it with rattan and mixed pattern lounges from Scout Rental Co. The disco ball lined barn doors made for an eye catching backdrop to the mixing and mingling of Alyssa and Stephen’s weddings guests while they snacked on light bites from Field to Table Catering + Events and drinks served by Copper + Crystal.

From cocktail hour, guests made their way to the sea of farmhouse tables on the Grand Lawn. Noonan’s Wine Country Designs adorned the tables with blush florals to pair with the pink linens and gold settings - a perfect complement to our famous greenery!

Guests dined well into the evening before moving the party in the barn for dancing and dessert. Come Alive Entertainment kept the crowd going all night, while Paper Cake Events delicious desserts kept them fueled - yum! This was a dream vendor team for a dream couple and we loved every minute of celebrating Alyssa + Stephen!

Michelle + Brendan: A modern day love story. From meeting in a dive bar to dancing the night away in our classic wooden barn, everything about these two and their love is fun, playful, and timeless!

Embark Event Design worked with the couple to create an aesthetic that played into the natural beauty of Greengate Ranch with pops of blue throughout giving that classic, yet modern and effortless wedding feel.

“Set in the rolling hills of Edna Valley on a perfect Summer day, Michelle & Brendan’s wedding day was a reflection of their relationship. Filled with touches of fun and unique style, many nods to their sweet (and large!) family, and an epic dance party - the couple soaked up each moment of their perfect day with all of their favorite people.”

- Sarah Strausser, Embark Event Design

Their sweet ceremony at the pond let the nature do the talking with perfectly placed white florals by Noonan’s Wine Country Designs. The celebration then moved to the Grand Lawn for a cocktail hour full of refreshing drinks poured by Hitched Co. and delicious, summertime appetizers by Trumpet Vine Catering. It was a perfect summer night as cocktail hour turned into an al fresco dinner reception in the courtyard.

As Michelle and Brendan slipped away for sunset photos with Jen Rodriguez Photography, Michelle also slipped into a second dress - the sweetest surprise for Brendan! The couple roamed the vineyards of Greengate Ranch enjoying a moment away from the excitement and taking time to be present together, married. The night carried on with heartfelt speeches, cake cutting, and some serious dancing as the two families came together to celebrate the newly married couple!
