Janelle + Javon | Jacuzzi Family Vineyards

August 16, 2017

Its a special time to be included in your best friends wedding, but its extra special to get to help her plan her wedding! And, on a beautiful September day, Janelle and Javon exchanged vows that were 10 years in the making and it was so rewarding standing by their side as they did. Jacuzzi Family Vineyards. was the perfect setting for these two to say, “I do”.

Janelle walked down the aisle in a stunning white gown with gold details and her ladies accented her with gold art deco floor length dresses. Javon wore a suit with a white jacket and black details to compliment the bride beautifully. Standing in front of their closest family and friends, Janelle and Javon shared what was truly a special moment as they became husband and wife.

With the classic tuscan winery feel and a blend of Gatsby Glam we turned it into an elegant reception black and gold elements throughout. Classic candelabras donned each table wrapped with delicate ivy leaves lit up the room with a romantic glow. Table number doubled as Janelle and Javon’s favorite Italian destinations.

The dance party with Verducci Entertainment and everyone took advantage of the photo booth provided by JoySquad for the remainder of the night.

Thank you Lindsey Tatum for capturing every special moment between the beautiful bride and groom.

Birthday Weekend Getaway to Napa Valley

June 23, 2015

We love a good party, especially when we can share our love of wine country and all the fun activities there are to explore! This past weekend we had a fun group of 25 fly up from Los Angeles for a weekend of birthday celebration in Napa Valley. Their weekend included private airport shuttles to a resort in Calistoga where they were greeted with welcome bags filled with local goodies, some indulged in spa services and others cruised their bikes around the cute town of Calistoga before heading to dinner at Archetype in Saint Helena. The next morning after gathering for breakfast, they set off for a group bike ride through the vineyards to picnic at Bennett Lane Winery, where they tasted through their wines following a tour through the viticulture process. That evening they celebrated the birthday girl at a beautiful dinner at Rams Gate Winery where they were wined, dined and danced the night away. The weekend was capped off with cabana lounging and a private cooking class at the Culinary Institute at Greystone.

Marissa + Kevin

August 15, 2014

Marissa and Kevin have impeccable taste. We designed a wedding that showcased some soft romance with bold poppy red colors. Beautifully captured by Stacey Pentland. Marissa and Kevin decided on a summer wedding in wine country and Solage located at the top of Napa Valley held their modern and chic style. Marissa glowed in her two piece Monique Lhullier gown and her satin Badgley Mischka heels. And Kevin wore a sharp grey Hugo Boss suit and they left no detail unattended right down to the scent of the reception space. Above all the tiny details it was the love and their chemistry that truly took your breath away.

Real Wedding: Tanya + Chris

October 14, 2013

This chic {and ridiculously gorgeous!} couple wanted to offer their guests a wine country experience that captured their NYC lifestyle. After searching high and low they found the perfect setting for their September wedding in Calistoga, Ca. Guests flew in from the East Coast for an early start to their weekend which kicked off with a rehearsal dinner in the wine caves of Clos Pegase Winery and spent the rest of the weekend wine tasting at a few favorite Napa Valley wineries, cruising through the quaint town on their bikes, and basking by the mineral pools in Calistoga. The highlight, of course, was their modern wine country nuptials at Solage Calistoga.

Real Wedding Liz and Burt: Calistoga Wedding

March 15, 2013

Napa Valley is one of the most sought after wedding destinations, and at the northern tip of the valley sits the quaint town of Calistoga. You may have heard of Solage, the newest posh resort in Calistoga which offers a variety of luxury amenities. With mountain views, lush gardens and barn inspired architecture it's no wonder Solage attracts couples for their wedding. The spring colors, perfect weather, along with their vibrant personalities and sophistication were the perfect combination for this fun wedding.

Liz and Burt met while living on alternate coasts. While Liz was attending Law School in New York and Burt was focusing on his startup company in San Francisco, they met online. After months of phone calls and emails, Liz decided to travel to San Francisco for a weekend and meet Burt. While they weren't immediately smitten, their hearts grew fonder when Liz returned to NY to finish Law School. Once school was complete, Liz moved to California and their love blossomed. After purchasing their first home together, Burt proposed to Liz in the garden of their new home.
