Summertime Wedding at Aliso Viejo Ranch

Elaine and Michael stood on the hillside at Aliso Viejo Ranch for their first look, and when their eyes met, smiles filled their faces. The couple shared sweet compliments and soaked in the moment alone while guests began arriving at the venue. The bride and groom posed for photos together, then made their way over to the barn to line up for the ceremony.

Peach and white flowers lined the aisle and matching florals framed in the ceremony space where Elaine and Michael would soon be standing. Once everyone was seated, the music cued up and the wedding party made their entrances. In front of all their family and friends, the bride and groom recited vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Cocktail hour continued outside with tray passed Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons, Crab Cakes, and Lemon Parmesan Artichoke Hearts paired with Yuzu Whiskey Sour and Gin Lavender Lemonade signature drinks. Guests mixed and mingled while the newlyweds posed for photos with family and their wedding party. After all the outdoor fun, everyone headed inside for reception.

Tables were topped with white details from candles to plates and pops of peach made an appearance in the form of fresh flower centerpieces. Michael and Elaine made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared and Chicken Sonoma, Filet Mignon Carvery, Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano, Mashed Potatoes, Fresh Vegetable Medley, and Caesar Salad was served. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist Lauren. After dinner, the couple cut into their wedding cake and invited their guests to enjoy our Classic Dessert Station with a collection of Raspberry Chocolate Decadence Cakes, Fresh Fruit Tarts, Vanilla Bean Chocolate Eclairs, Mango and Passion Fruit Macarons, and French Apple Tarts. The evening ended out on the dance floor with plenty of good vibes and well wishes.
