Colorful, Joy-Filled Carneros Resort Celebration

There are couples who just get it—and R + V were those people. From the moment we met, it was instant magic (and maybe a little bonding over the cows at Carneros Resort didn’t hurt!). After hosting a chic black-and-white micro wedding in the city, they were ready to go big with a colorful wine country bash—and we were so here for it.

R knew Carneros well thanks to her work, and it was the perfect place to throw a party that felt relaxed, meaningful, and wildly fun. We kicked things off non-traditionally—because why not start with cocktails and a lawn-side surprise ceremony? After all, when you’re surrounded by vineyards and sunshine, the rules can bend a little.

Next came a pre-dinner dance party (yes, before dinner—we love a vibe shift), followed by a feast that brought a taste of Italy to wine country. Bold colors, flowing wine, and one of the dreamiest menus we’ve ever seen set the stage for heartfelt toasts that had everyone crying and laughing at once.

The night wrapped with a legendary dessert spread (Nutella tower included!), and a dance floor that did not quit – Matt Roan, you are epic! It was playful, emotional, and full of personality—just like R + V. A true celebration of love, joy, and doing things your own way.

Thank you to my dream team for bringing it to life (in record time!)!
