They both have a good chemistry
I am currently planning my Wedding in Canada and I literally just feel like you! Everyone always just posts the happy things about wedding planning, so in the beginning I was super stressed out like is there something wrong with me that I feel like this? So you are definitely not alone in these feelings❤️
Check out Santa Barbara/ Goleta, Solvang, Santa Ynez, San Luis Obispo
Check out Filoli in Woodside, CA or Montalvo Arts center!! They’re literally insanely gorgeous…think ethereal European garden estate vibes!!! You will love 🥰
Delaney you should look to see who carries Martina Liana in your area! I really think you might like her style! 😊 I wore Martina Liana 905 but I definitely think might like the vibe!! ❤
I absolutely love your vision for your wedding!! Obsessed with your content and whatever venue you'll go for, your day will be absolutely amazing!! And just putting this out here, if you are still looking for a photographer, I am a destination wedding photographer and shoot digital and film 🙂
Check out Rancho Nicasio!! In Nicasio (Marin County) me and my bestie have been following you for years and both immediately thought of you when we got here for a music event today XX 😊❤
I just photographed a wedding at Bernardus lodge and spa and it’s absolutely stunning!!! It’s in Carmel valley! It was absolutely amazing! Very much along your aesthetic!
I’m a wedding coordinator and highly recommend shuttle services for our ceremonies! It does seem like an extra logistical nightmare but it just comes down to the communication with your planner and the transportation company. If offers a safe and fun way to get your guests to the venue. Up to you guys though, obviously. 😊
I guess I love America and it’s aesthetic. 😂
I feel like you guys can do your wedding in CA and still do a beautiful photo shoot in Europe later on ❤
It makes me sad how Northern Americans can't help but compare our land to Europe. If we were as curious about our own land as we are about "trendy" land, we might decide to recover and renew the heritage areas that exist around here. I realize it's a "long goal" but there's so much to appreciate here, it's hard to watch someone be so critical of a place as beautiful as Napa Valley.
You guys would love the gardens at cornerstone in sonoma OR Viansa in sonoma or Jacuzzi in Sonoma (from someone who’s toured every Napa and sonoma venue there is hahaha)
Venue recs:
Cielo farms – not SO much garden but 100% tuscany vibes
Kestrel park – has some garden vibes for sure!! hugggge grounds and fields around so super private
Cal a Vie Spa – european/garden
Villa del sol d’oro – literally italy in socal
Dos Pueblos Orchid farm – not necessarily european vibes but deffffff garden vibes!
Im so happy I’m in the wedding planning process the same time you guys are!!🤍
Try looking at Carmel valley ranch inn in CA and glenmere mansion in NY ❤
I would elope in Europe in 2024 and have a California reception in fall or even 2025.
Check out Cavallo point in Sausalito or even venues in Paso Robles. Maybe Napa isn’t the right place .
Also, be prepared to go way over budget. Once they know it’s a Wedding they gouge you. Just in the last week of invoices there was an additional $10,000 + we weren’t expecting.
Best of luck finding a venue and wedding planning 💛
Come check out SLO county! There are SO many beautiful wineries + wedding venues- many have a Euro vibe! Less boujee than napa but literally has such a similar feel, especially in Paso Robles!
We got married in napa, we eloped so no family at all just us and we used a company called “run away with me” based in napa I believe, and they were great. We live in Florida so I was nervous planning it long distance. We got married at Beringer, under the red woods. I would recommend hiring a wedding planner now to help you… they have so many contacts and it will make the process less stressful. You don’t have to have the venue first before you have a wedding planner just FYI 😋 PS we went to the spa at auburge du soliel and OMG it was such an amazing venue.
Lol!! She said split pea soup 🍲 🫛 😅
So my uncle got married in napa last weekend in September in 2022. We had the BEST time ever. The only thing I would consider if you do fall is how cold it gets! It was beautiful during the day and warm but at night time the weather drops drastically and not everyone came prepared with jackets so they had to go and buy blankets for people to grab while during the reception/dancing part lol. Granite they didn’t have heaters bc they were trying to charge $700 a pop. But just something to consider is it gets cold at night! But we still had soooo much fun
Omg who will be your MUA???
Y’all need to check out Carneros resort!! My sister just got married there in June and it’s SO beautiful and magical! All the perks of a hotel but it was so private. The staff is amazing, food, and the venue itself is stunning. The hotel rooms are also similar to Solage where they’re all like cottages and the whole property is super similar aesthetic!! Grew up in the Bay Area going to Solage and Napa and we absolutely loved it❤️
You both have a lot to think about. The positive position you're in & the luxury of having a Garden Party Wedding in CA!! Word of mouth, is a Wonderful Resource. I'm sure you'll be able to find exactly what you want. A Once in a Lifetime Fairy Tale Story Book – Enjoy 🤍✨
Beaulieu is French and it’s a combination of the words beau and lieu. Beau= beautiful and Lieu= spot/place, so all together it translates to beautiful place. It’s actually pronounced boh-lee-uhhhh 😊
Filoli gardens !
I would recommend looking in to Chateau St Jean in Kenwood (20 mins outside of Napa)
Stunning Euro-like property!! ❤
Venue Ideas:
Ojai Valley Inn & Spa
Miramar- montecito
Roblar winery
Foxen Canyon
Bacara- Santa Barbara/Goleta
Dos Pueblos Orchid Farm
Aloha friends! Mendocino is beautiful for weddings also 🥰🦋🌈🌺🌺🌺
Hubs and I stayed at solage for my birthday this year it’s so charming, wonderful restaurant, great spa, also fun Sol bar for your younger guests. We went to Soleil for lunch and food was very serious average almost not good although the views are nice the structure seems dated.
You should check out San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito. They have stunning gardens!
The more simple the logistics are, the price will be likelier to not have a big hike too!
Vista Valley Country Club!!
I live in Napa and am getting married here this fall too! it's the prettiest time of year and highly recommend 🤍 congrats guys!!
If I could give y'all just 1 piece of advice it would be to enjoy the wedding planning, ok maybe 2 pieces of advice lol. Stay on top of it bcuz time flies and your wedding day will be here before you know it 💜💯
You should check out Filoli gardens in the Bay Area!
I guess you checked out Lake Tahoe already.
Loved this video and love you guys!! I'm from San Jose, CA and have had my eye out on this specific venue for my future wedding hopefully someday😂! Its called the Montalvo Arts Center in Saratoga,CA. It's giving the garden/european wedding vibes just thought I would share with you guys in case you guys want to check it out! I've also seen some venues in the Santa Cruz mountains that also look beautiful and you guys might want to look into! So excited for all the wedding related videos to come❤
I really like that you guys are being so thoughtful about your families’ comfort when it comes to travel, lots of walking, accessibility, etc. That probably means the world to them to feel so thought of. 💛
