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.

Sutton and Nick’s wedding was filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories captured on film by Carlie Statsky. The love and joy shared between the couple and their loved ones were undeniable, making this wedding a truly unforgettable event.

We patiently waited for this gallery for quite some time - this Martha Stewart Weddings feature gives an inside look to Katie and Connor’s gorgeous late summer wedding! Click on the link above for the full article.

Katie’s dream was to get married in her hometown of San Luis Obispo, always knowing Greengate Ranch & Vineyard was the venue she wanted. With their venue chosen, their talented planner, Vanessa Noel Events, used Katie and Connor’s vision to create a modern, coastal and fun celebration - perfect for the Central Coast destination.

Their ceremony at the Pond was outfitted with a beautiful organic floral arch by Noonan’s Designs. The celebration then moved to the front of the Ranch House for a cocktail hour full of refreshing drinks and delicious appetizers by Field to Table Catering.

It was a perfect summer night as cocktail hour turned into a coastal reception in the Stables with a soft palette of greens, blues and neutrals. At sunset, Katie and Connor slipped away into the vineyards of the Greengate property for photos with Kelsea Holder, giving them an intimate time to appreciate the excitement of the day.

Guests dined and danced the night away in the Stables under Bella Vista Design’s perfectly coastal-modern light installation. The bride and groom personally curated playlists DJ’d by Party Proper that kept the crowd entertained all night before they exited through a sea of cold spark cannons. This was a dream vendor team for a dream couple and we loved every minute of celebrating Katie and Connor!
