Calistoga Beauty
Jillian and Chris
Hans Fahden Winery
Calistoga, California
Unparalleled beauty in the Napa Valley. Jillian and Chris's wedding was just stunning. The couple, the setting, the decor, and the amazing team of vendors all contributed to this perfect evening! The plans for this wedding began almost two years ago. Jillian got in touch with Cat while she was on vacation in Mexico. Jillian knew Cat was a fit for her when she heard she was working on her vacation. The search for the perfect setting filled with gardens and an enchanted feel. Check! Hans Fahden Winery. A florist to match the bride's unique vision and classy taste. Check! Blooms by Martha Andrews. The perfect caterer-All Seasons Catering, design and decor elements- Sharri Black and CMC Design, unique rentals- Classic Party Rentals, live swing/jazz music-Hale Baskin, live trio for the ceremony- Davis Ramey, and the photographer to capture it all-Allison Stahl. Check!
A streamlined natural look was carried throughout. Purple, green, cream, and gold were used in each space from the ceremony, tea house cocktail space, dinner wine cave, and reception.
Enchanted reception decor! Dancing, live music, and toasts fell under the trees of this enchanted look. The room was draped in chocolate brown satin fabric from ceiling line to the floor. These drapes were pulled back for the fourth and final reveal. The guests had no idea this final space was hidden and only after dinner was it revealed.
Congrats to Jillian and Chris on their marriage and gorgeous wedding!

Citizen Hotel Wedding
What a fantastic evening of fun, amazing service and gorgeous decor! Nicole and Treb were married in the first floor ballroom of the new Citizen Hotel in Downtown Sacramento. Married under a teal and brown canopy of flowing fabric with incredible crystal accents and gorgeous colorful flowers. I never knew pops of red would feel so rich amongst brown and teal.
The reception was held on the 7th floor terrace of the hotel. The fabric ceiling draping is to die for and the views of the city are stunning. Katie with Ambience floral gets all of the credit for these beautiful centerpieces accented with amber jewels and peacock feathers. They were the perfect touch to Nicole's perfectly chosen pallet of teal and brown.
The photography was done by Lisa Richmond and her assistant photographers. They worked hard to capture every perfect image of the happy couple. I think they started as early as 11:00am and I didn't see them leave until at least 11:00pm...incredible! Way to not miss an opportunity to catch each moment.
The evening ended in the Citizen's 14th floor suite. The balcony was the perfect spot for Treb to give Nicole her last surprise for the night. What a sweet finish to a perfect day: another ring!

Incredible pool with the option of private cabanas for bridal parties to rent. The guys might enjoy this while the girls are in the spa on the wedding day.
The reception venue. New barn rustic feel. A very open space with complete range for unique looks and design ideas.

Steve Lach with Beth Sogaard Catering was more than a joy to spend the day with. He planned this perfect outing for me, Lora Ward with A Day to Remember, Kendra Pfeiffer-Wershing with Pfeiffer Event Planning, Laurie Schmalzel with Laurie Schmalzel Events, and Darcie Swedelson with A Dazzling Day. A day in the limo consists of almost nothing but wedding talk and each stop was filled with wine tasting and site research.
Avio Winery
The views from one of the optional the ceremony sites are spectacular. This site can accommodate up to 200 guests and has multiple options for the ceremony, reception, rehearsal dinner, and other intimate gatherings.
The outdoor covered reception space can accommodate up to 200 guests and has the advantage of an overhead arbor for us designers who love to hang fabrics and unique lighting!
