Beth & Joe: Destination Wedding in Los Olivos

I met Joe and Beth, this summer, as they started planning a wedding.  They both wanted their day to be filled with good wine, good food, and good company.  With the help of Julia of Small Wonders Event Planning and Design, they designed a handcrafted wedding, with rustic, sophisticated, and romantic details, reminiscent of Beth’s Midwestern roots.  They chose to have their wedding at Coquelicot Estate Vineyard in Los Olivos, California, in the heart of the Santa Ynez Valley.  There was a lot of beautiful moments that filled their day, from beautiful ceremony performed by Beth’s father, to the delicious food including pasta and seasonal horderves made on site, and getting a good-omen-rainbow during the ceremony!   Here’s some of my favorite images from Joe and Beth’s day.  All friends and family may order and download wedding pictures online HERE.

Coquelicot Winery: Los Olivos Wedding and Event Venue

Developed in 1999, the Coquelicot Estate Vineyard lies just south of the historic Mission Santa Ines in the Santa Ynez Valley on California’s Central Coast.  This week, they opened their (90+ year old) barn doors and hosted a launch party with lots of fun event professionals from catering, event design, and florals, to rentals, music, entertainment, transportation, and desserts.  My favorite part of the evening was drinking some delicious wine, tasting all the food, and going on a hayride through the vineyard!  If you were at the event, I probably have a great picture of you…  feel free to check out more images HERE.  I’m looking forward to returning in a couple of weeks for Beth and Joe’s wedding day!  🙂
