If you dream of a wedding in the redwoods, look no further than Deer Park Villa in Fairfax. Hidden in the trees just outside the Marin hamlet, the venue is the perfect place to get married and enjoy a reception all in once space.

Eve and Paul envisioned a clean, elegant looks with pale florals and lovely tableware. The couple also wanted to share their love of being carnivores, and custom made their own spice rub as guests gifts!

The guests enjoyed a ceremony filled with laughter, a cocktail hour by the little pond, dinner under the magnificent trees, and dancing inside the lodge. The couple even snuck away for a few minutes to do photos alone at a nearby park to soak in the energy of the day. Truly, this wedding was one of our favorites to officiate and plan.

Two years in the making, Courtney hired us early to ensure that wedding planning was a breeze! The Maples was a brand-new venue, with pipes being laid in the ground, and landscaping still being planted when we toured together. With an eye for beauty and a vision for what could be an extraordinary wedding day, Courtney and Martin booked the venue and vendors quickly, taking time to work on details along the way.

Tones of blush, burgundy and gray created a dreamy palette with elevated florals and design elements. Working with Batter Up Cakery to design the most incredible dessert display was a highlight of the event!

Two weeks after this picture-perfect wedding, Courtney began working with us at TWE. She is  now a valuable team member and has worked alongside us during wedding production all over Northern California!

The most glorious and magical of days happened among the trees in idyllic Shingle Springs. Faye and Chris envisioned an intimate wedding with close friends and family that was relaxed, musical, and a bit boho!

The bride collected unique decor and tableware, and created smudging gifts for favors. Ceremony in the trees with hanging florals and a meditative singer was a highlight, as was the cutest photo booth bus we've ever seen! The cake hung from the rafters, appearing to float on its own. Beta fish swam in bowls during dinner. The most luscious, colorful florals exuded vibrance and love. And, the estate gifted the couple with a horse as a wedding gift!

A feast for the senses, our TWE team designed vibrant vignettes for Real Weddings Magazine, along with an incredibly talented team of vendors. The shoot was a nod to Indian traditions and themes, creating a modern-day "fusion wedding".

We enjoyed working with our "real" couple models, while playing with textures and color. Our spice blending bar offered a unique make-it/take-it idea in lieu of traditional wedding favors.

Windmill Vineyards recently updated their beautiful patio, barn and bar spaces with the creative eye of designer Emily Murphey.  To kick off this lovely space, they hosted a Spring Dinner for close family and friends. It was truly a pleasure for our team to coordinate the details of this special event for the vineyard.

Pheasant Trek at Dunnigan Hills sits on 80 acres of olive trees and vineyards with pastures for grazing cattle and a pen for cute miniature donkeys! So there's plenty of room for 200 wedding guests to enjoy the pastoral setting and this working Yolo County ranch estate.

Owned by a charismatic wife-and-daughter team who owns a global cattle business, Pheasnt Trek became the site of a styled shoot coordinated by Tan Weddings & Events. When principal planner Jennifer Tan met with the owners, it sparked the excitement of showcasing this northern California ranch as a wedding venue.

Tan Weddings & Events assembled the areas top-notch creatives such as Nicole Sepulveda-Smith of XSiGHT, Strelitzia Floral Company, and Khacek Confections, among others. TWE and the team were guided by the venue's highlights such as two rustic barns, a vineyard, and an olive orchard. The authentic textures of a well-worn ranch provided the perfect backdrop for the rentals, decor, and florals. The team shared a vision, executing a design aesthetic that balances the venue's rustic materials with the exquisitely elegant colors and lines of the team's decor.

The venue provides may spaces for an event production of any size, tailored to the couple's vision. At Pheasant Trek, expect to have a grand celebration, and if you are lucky, pet a donkey!

This fabulous day was featured on Wedding Chicks!

Taylar and Cameron originally wanted to elope with a small group in the redwood grove in Davis. Upon seeing that the creek was under construction, the couple began chatting with our team about the idea of moving the event to Villa De Nardi, and before we knew it, we had a ceremony and reception planned within weeks for 40 people!

Villa De Nardi ended up being the perfect space for the guests, with the garden for the ceremony, and dinner under the lights on the main reception space. Gold flecked doughnuts, handcrafted place cards, vintage tableware, and lush florals made for gorgeous summer nuptials and some of the prettiest tablescapes we've ever seen!

A quick timeline for creating this exquisite day allowed the couple to be able to adventure together overseas as needed, wherever the groom's miltary station would take him. The amazing photographer moved the timeline to accommodate photos and dinner as the sun went down to combat the summer heat. Finishing off the evening with their first dance, the couple and their guests talked the night away, and then headed into Sacramento for an after party! 

We wish this couple so much love and happiness as they continue on their adventurous paths together around the world.

Amidst the glorious vines and trellises of DeLoach Vineyards, Erin and Jon celebrated a wonderful wedding day! Hailing from Aurora, Illinois, the couple and a handful of close friends and family enjoyed the iconic wine country. Orchestrated by Jennifer Stone of La Grande Fete, the wedding day included a ceremony by yours truly, Rick Tan, of Tan Weddings & Events, and a reception catered by Park Avenue Catering. Erin and Jon were a sweet couple and a joy to support in making their wedding day and ream come true. 

Lush florals, romantic vignettes, guitar music, and delicious food -- these elements and more were featured at one of our favorite venues, The Maples Weddings & Events in Woodland.

Picturesque landscaping, gorgeous garden nooks, and blooming fruit orchards, paired with an historic house, idyllic courtyard, rustic stable, breezy arena, and chic pool house, made for a day filled with creativity. Our immenseley talented vendor team literally dreamed up scenarios and adjusted to the lighting as we went, constantly searching for new spaces to enhance while envisioning wedding after wedding, after wedding....
