Thank you to the talented team who helped make this an amazing day for our lovely couple!
Wedding Coordination: Gatherings for Good Venue/Catering: Riviera Mansion Rentals: Discount Party Rentals DJ: Prince William Flowers: Ranay Schmandt Dessert: Enjoy Cupcakes Bride's Makeup: Chi Beauty Artistry Photography: Native Heart Photography Videography: Foster Films Tucked away off Highway 246 and minutes from Solvang and Buellton, CA is a gorgeous sprawling family owned event space that is a total hidden gem and a must see for anyone wanting a private outdoor wedding in the heart of wine country along the beautiful central coast of California. We recently had the pleasure of coordinating Cris and Allison's wedding at La Arboleda and the pictures speak for themselves. This venue has something for everyone. This rustic romantic getaway includes two separate suites for the couple to get ready in, a built in bar and kitchen, covered dining and dance area, built in stage, paved walkways, lush gardens and an abundance of natural surroundings. For this wedding the bride chose white and pink floral arrangements created by Bella Florist for her bouquet and centerpieces which complimented the natural beauty of the space perfecly. Keeping with the natural and rustic look, the family style tables were decorated with a neutral runner across the center topped with gold votives and gorgeous blooms in wooden containers. Wine barrels were spread throughout the venue and used as cocktail tables. Guests were treated to a lovely meal starting with antipasto during cocktail hour followed by authentic Italian wood-fired pizzas made on-site and fresh green salads catered by Santa Barbara restaurant Bettina Pizzeria. Dessert included an lavish assortment of delicious mini cupcakes in a variety of flavors from another Santa Barbara favorite, Enjoy Cupcakes. The Bride, Groom and their guests danced to music provided by the ever popular and always entertaining DJ Zeke who also provided the photo booth for an extra bit of fun. This was one unforgettable day that we were so thankful to have been part of. Congrats to the happy couple! This wedding was simply stunning! Thank you to the amazing team who helped make their day so special!

These two love birds were all smiles on their big day despite some cool and overcast weather conditions. None of that mattered though because the love and excitement beaming from their adorable faces was enough to warm everyone's hearts from beginning to end. From their ear to ear smiles to their fashionable sneakers to their sincere and genuine vows proclaiming their love for one another, to an amazing buffet dinner and homemade cookies for dessert (made by the groom's mother), ending with some serious dance moves to music by the one and only DJ Freddy Sparxx, it could not have been a more perfect day! We love how the bride and groom incorporated personal touches into their decor including a photo of their beloved cat (who was no able to attend), personalized hot sauce favors, homemade cookies and brownies, and some stylish personal accessories which added a bit of flair to their tropical beachy theme that was seen throughout their wedding. The fun and upbeat atmosphere complimented both the bride and groom's sunny personalities perfectly. My team and I were thrilled to be part of their journey and their beautiful wedding day and see it all come together seamlessly. ![]() Thank you to the talented team of wedding professional who made this day possible and for making Shannon and Cameron's wedding an unforgettable day!

One thing is for sure. We were thrilled and honored to be part of Danielle and Andrew's amazing wedding at the breathtaking Slay Estate & Vineyard right here in my little town of Lompoc, CA. This Tuscan style private estate and winery was the perfect destination for this glamorous couple to say "I Do" in front of family and friends who traveled from near and far, taking in the sights and beauty of the California Central Coast. If you are searching for a wedding venue this one should definitely be on your list of places to see. Please contact us or visit https://www.slayestateandvineyard.com/ for more details.

This family oriented couple wanted to celebrate with a close group of family and friends, many of who flew across the country to be by their side. The intimate ceremony and heartfelt vows filled the Mural Room of the Santa Barbara Courthouse with pure love and joy felt by all. After the couple said "I Do" guests gathered outside for photos and later were whisked away by the city's iconic red trolleys leading them to the ever popular French Bistro, Stella Mares where they enjoyed cocktails on the patio followed by a fabulous dinner in a very intimate and romantic setting. Singer and Guitarist Matt Commerce kept everyone entertained with many soulful and catchy tunes through the evening's festivies. Thank you to the amazing team of event professionals who helped create this unforgettable day!

The bride and groom chose a traditional and timeless color palette that suited their taste and the venue perfectly. The men wore dark suits which were the perfect contrast to the light dusty blue bridesmaid gowns. The soft white and pink flower arrangements by The Twisted Twig complimented their attire and tied everything together. Can you say classic romance? The starry eyed couple's decor included string lighting, gold star lanterns hanging from the trees and a festive sparkler send off. You could say the love this couple has for each other is defintely out of this world! The guests were treated to a fabulous dinner at the Riviera Mansion and danced the night away with music from local DJ Scott Topper Productions. ![]() We were so thrilled to be part of this love story.

They had their share of ups and downs and there were definitely stressful times during the wedding planning process. A few months before they said " I Do," they went through an unexpected venue change for their reception which ended up being a blessing in disguise! Even though it wasn't how they imagined their wedding day in the beginning, everything worked out exactly how they wanted in the end! The couple's ceremony was at Santa Barbara City College Maxwell Overlook high above the Santa Barbara Harbor with a picturesque backdrop of palm trees and sailboats. This sunny September day could not have been more perfect for this adorable couple who were surrounded by friends, family and spectacular ocean and mountain views. ![]() The reception was held at Saint Barbara's Greek Orthodox Church which was decorated with beautiful flowers, shells and ocean insipired decor. Guests enjoyed cocktails and appetizers on the outdoor patio. Once everyone came inside for the main event, the bride and groom were treated to a surprise flamenco dance performance followed by dinner, heartfelt speeches, a stunning cake and dessert display and lots more dancing through the night! ![]() Thank you to the following event professionals who assisted in making this day possible.
