Northern California Wedding Planner | Wolfe Heights Wedding Highlights

What wedding planner doesn’t love a beautiful space to hold a wedding? We get to work in a lot of beautiful spaces throughout our season, but every time we see Wolfe Heights listed as the venue on our inquiry we do a little happy dance! Today we are highlighting some of our favorite aspects of the venue.

Wolfe Heights is located in Sacramento and features stunning grounds with an onsite winery, olive orchard, gorgeous estate house + bridal suite for the bridal party, pond & willow tree with paths surrounding the ceremony and reception spaces. Every angle is picture perfect!

You can take the most luxurious shuttle over to the olive orchard grove for your couple’s portraits and then come back over to join your cocktail hour with your guests while the sun goes down and the glow of the market lights gives the romantic vibe you dreamed of.

Another element that we love about Wolfe Heights is that any color palette works beautifully in the space, as anything can pair well with the classic greenery surrounding the property that offers the perfect focal points. Every gallery we look through has us falling in love even more!

Not only is the space beautiful, but the layout of the space and the amenities included all contribute to a seamless day executed by the your vendor team from the preferred vendor list. Working with vendors who all know the space and understand the best practices to help you make the most of your wedding day will give you the best experience and ability to enjoy with your guests.

Happy Planning!

Northern California Wedding Planner | Elegance in Hues of Dusty Blue ~ Clara & Aaron

In our eyes a perfect wedding venue can host events of all sizes and shapes, and truly be personalized to each couple’s vision. White Ranch is right up there with our list of favorite venues in Northern California, because we couldn’t have asked for a dreamier location for Clara & Aaron’s long awaited wedding.

With 2022 right around the corner, our hearts are still full from all of the love that we witnessed through patience and perseverance of our couples along every obstacle that Covid through their way. Clara and Aaron planned their Chico wedding all the way from New York and it was a true pleasure to get to be along their side through all of the planning phases leading up to the big day. TreCreative captured the smiles, the happy tears and so many incredible moments of joy.

Northern California Wedding Planner | Butte Star Ranch - Ally and Dalton

Wedding planning for Ally & Dalton was a path with several obstacles but whenever they faced a challenge - they took it head on as a couple! The strength and patience that our couples have shown when making the decision to postpone or pivot their wedding plans, it is pretty incredible!

Let’s get to the fun part; where they finally got to share their I Do’s with all of their friends and family:

Northern California Wedding Planner | Spring Wedding at Almendra Winery & Distillery

We are so thrilled to be back into the swing of event season and we had to share one of our first weddings back on the scene for 2021. Stephanie & Ari’s wedding at Almendra Winery & Distillery in Durham was the perfect start to our season! Photos by Ashley Carlascio Photography

As always a huge thank you to all of the vendor pro friends who make events like this possible! It takes a solid team to be able to execute the room “flip” needed in order for us to transition from ceremony to reception in the barrel room at Almendra. This means that during cocktail hour we shifted the draping to create a cocktail area while our team along with the rental company removed ceremony chairs and brought in all of the reception tables, centerpieces and moved the arch to frame the sweetheart table. It makes our hearts so happy when our couples get to see their vision come to life!

Northern California Wedding Planner | Micro Wedding at Irongate Garden Inn - Taylar & Daniel

Weekends have looked different for many of us in the wedding industry but we wanted to pop in to say that love prevails through it all! Our couples have found creative ways to proceed with their wedding plans even if that meant downsizing their guest count or sharing their day virtually with guests.

Micro-weddings have been a popular trend, and we have to say that getting to see the intimate moments couples can share with their guests is pretty incredible. Speaking of beautiful Micro-Weddings, today we are sharing highlights from Taylar & Daniel’s ceremony at Irongate Garden Inn in Chico. {Photos by Joel Jauregui Photography}

Taylar’s ability to roll with the obstacles and changes throughout her planning was pretty amazing, her focus was on her ceremony and to only put energy into what was within her control. This is so challenging, we know that no couple wants to be impacted by something like Covid-19 but our hearts are so full when we see love win like this! Joel captured their day so beautifully!

Northern California Wedding Planner | Irongate Garden Inn - Chico, CA ~ Diana & Marcus

Can you say swoon?! Wow Dianna was absolutely stunning and we still can’t get over all of the beautiful floral elements by Little Red Hen Floral & More that took this fall wedding to the next level. Beyond the beautiful decor, there is a much deeper connection to this wedding story as Diana & Marcus were forced to make many changes in their lives and wedding plans due to the Campfire. Life threw obstacles in their way, yet seeing them soak it all in with their friends and family was incredibly rewarding. Enjoy these highlights from Silver Sands Photography by Tracy.

Northern California Wedding Planner | It Doesn't Get Better Than This

These films right here are why we do what we do, so that couples can be completely relaxed on their wedding day and look at each other with such love & devotion. Take it all in, because it just doesn’t get better than this feeling of everything coming together for such a beautiful day celebrating the start to their biggest journey in life together!

We truly can’t get enough of these highlights from Faren & Dana’s wedding at Bella Rosa Farms in Durham. This fall wedding perfection wasn’t just made of pretty things, but wonderful people who came together to honor this amazing couple as they said I Do officially! We are beyond thankful to have built relationships with our clients and their families where we have gotten to know them on a level that is deeper than a timeline and floor plan but we look around and can feel the love amongst their families. We may or may not have teared up more than once at this one!

Enjoy this film by our good friends Eventide Visuals!

Northern California Wedding Planner | Lone Oak Longhorn Ranch Styled Shoot ~ Sneak Peeks

It feels good to stretch your wings from time to time! In the wedding industry, we collaborate together in order to produce “styled” shoots or inspirational designs in order to stretch our wings creatively. This process involves networking with new wedding pros and artists, suppliers, models etc that have a similar desire to create something magical. Styled shoots can take many forms and can focus on the location itself, a new design trend or even a photo editing style.

In this case, the opportunity came about when Claire Nicole Photography reached out to us to invite us to participate in a styled shoot to promote the gorgeous new venue Lone Oak Longhorn Ranch in Marysville. This property is beyond words inside and out, and we can’t wait to share! We have a few sneak peeks for ya while we wait for the rest of the goodies from Claire!
