Your ceremony space is the backdrop of where you will share your beautiful commitment and vows with your partner in front of your closest loved ones and friends. What will the space look like, what are the elements that set the tone for this exchange - Let’s jump in!
The Courtyard at Irongate Garden Inn is such a special place to say I Do, and the venue provides several altar options to choose from. This beauty below was hand built by one of the couples who shared their vows here, and they opted to adorn the arbor with greenery to match their aesthetic.

We still think back to this beautiful setting at the Redwood Grove of the UC Botanical Gardens in Berkeley for Jessica and Patrick’s wedding. The majestic trees were truly stunning! The couple incorporated an arbor with ornate origami cranes with the perfect pop of color.

Does the Willow Tree ceremony location give you romantic vibes that it gives us? White Ranch is breathtaking and has so much character. A lot of love has been poured into the entire venue and it shows in every inch of the space. Clara and Aaron’s altar was a special sight with all of those beautiful blooms!

Floral arrangements on shephard hooks, gracing your aisle leading up to a wine barrel altar with blooms can give any rustic bride inspiration for her wedding. The aisle flowers can be repurposed to your guest tables and your barrel arrangements can be a great accent to your sweetheart table. Christina & Bricen’s wedding was a rustic dream!

If Macrame is your love language, consider dressing up your altar with a piece that ties in your design and gives a nice contrast to your surroundings. Jyla had a perfect balance of boho and rustic charm!

We couldn’t talk about ceremonies without a throw back to all of the magical days spent at the Honey Run Covered Bridge. We will hold this space in our hearts and jump for joy when it is rebuilt by the community. Even though we lost this space in the Camp Fire, it just goes to show you that you can transform any space and make amazing memories that will last a lifetime.

When you hear a homily shared amongst the congregation and you feel the tradition in every spoken word by the father - you know that you are witnessing a very special exchange of vows. The beautiful altar of St. Johns Baptist Church was adorned with florals to accent the couple’s fall wedding color palette.
