Classic Elegance With Modern Sparks!
These love birds made “going big” look easy. Electrified by their shining personalities, this timeless white wedding motif breathed with chic twists and new life!
Matching his three Groomsmen, Billy looked fantastic in his blue-gray suit!
With a more formal event vibe, we often see darker colored suits for the gentlemen, but we love how this choice softened the overall look to better reflect this couple’s personality.
Aga Jones Photography worked with the Mandy and her Bridesmaids to utilize our historic Zodiac Room for this iconic shot of the ladies getting ready.
The lighting mixed with the hand-painted original artwork on the ceiling makes for a stunning candid moment caught in time.
As though floating on a cloud, Mandy was resplendent in her gown and flowing veil.
We’ll never get over how beautiful the long train and her radiant smile were that day!
For classic elegance, you’ve got to go with formal floor-length Bridesmaids gowns.
These ladies looked exquisite in their sleek satin dresses, a perfect blend of classy and chic!
The dark wood chairs always enhance the natural beauty of our grand Oaks in this ceremony space.
A simple eucalyptus garland is all the decoration they need for a clean, contemporary feel.
Chic Flowers worked their magic by providing the stylishly thin ring, topped with romantic bundles of roses, for the top of the aisle!
Simple, refined, and reminiscent of a wedding ring; we loved this design!
Without a First Look, it was Billy’s first time seeing Mandy in all her glory as she came down the aisle!
Everyone cheered as the newlyweds sealed their vows with a kiss.
Radiant with joy, these two made their way back down the aisle as husband and wife, ready for the rest of their party to start!
As guests made their way up the stairs, Personal Touch Dining had an abundance of food available to pair with their craft cocktails in the Castle.
From tray-passed hor d’oeuvres to the appetizer station, everything is always made fresh and on-site!
Following the pattern from the ceremony, Chic Flowers kept the centerpieces romantic and minimalistic.
This regal table arrangement, with its long rows, was perfect for the trailing eucalyptus garlands, candles, and roses to flow down each table.
Each place setting incorporated the gold accent from the ceremony arch through gold charger plates.
On top of each napkin, a transparent plastic place card reserved everyone’s seat.
The Grand Entrance was unlike anything we’ve ever seen!
Ansom Productions surprised everyone with a pyrotechnic light show to welcome the happy couple to the dance floor through their two low-temperature sparkler boxes behind the sweetheart table.
For dinner, Personal Touch Dining offered guests a hearty buffet where the ceremony had been only an hour before!
All of this incredible food was made fresh and on-site!
With dinner and the formal dances finished, Ansom Productions took over the dance floor and kept the party rocking for the rest of the night!
Everyone showed off their best dance moves for the happy couple.
Even with space-heaters placed all around, these November mountain nights can get chilly!
The love birds were happy to provide a cozy blanket wedding favor for anyone who might need one.
Personal Touch Dining had three whole stations devoted to desserts that night!
Between the S’mores Station, Icecream Sandwich Station, and a traditional dessert station with a menagerie of treats to choose from, everyone’s sweet tooth was satisfied.
As the last song came to an end, Ansom Productions brought out the sparklers one last time to help send off the newlyweds in style!
We are so thankful Billy and Mandy chose to celebrate their special day here at the Castle with us!
They were a dream to work with, and we know their future together will be bright.
Thanks also to the fantastic team of vendors who helped us bring about the magic that evening!
Special acknowledgment goes to Personal Touch Dining for all of their hard work in managing our venue, catering to all our special events, and coordinating them as well.
