Let’s TACO-bout Love!

Collin and Samantha’s magical day here at our Rancho was all about the “Three F’s”: Family, Friends, and FUN! From Taco Bars to donut bars, this was the party of the year. Thanks to the collaboration with Sassy Little Bee Event Coordination and the incredible photos from Renata Amazonas Photography, we can show the world how special this wedding was!

Samantha and her entourage of bridesmaids and family members finished putting on the final details to their wedding-day ensembles in our Bridal Suite. The room’s energy was bubbly and sparkling with excitement, perfect to match the abundance of champagne that they brought!

Before too many guests arrived, Renata Amazonas gathered the love birds in our Welcome Courtyard for the First Look. This courtyard is perfect for an intimate moment like this. The wedding day, while fun, can get pretty hectic! First Looks give the happy couple a minute to themselves before the party starts.

Once enough guests arrived, Sassy Little Bee Coordination guided everyone to their seats and lined-up the Bridal Party for the ceremony! This enthusiastic flower girl nearly stole the show but was the perfect way to proceed Samantha down the aisle.

We love the way ceremonies turn out in our Upper Garden! The secluded area is lush with natural beauty, and our sunny Carlsbad weather means you can let the garden do all the work creating a romantic atmosphere.

After exchanging vows and “I Do’s,” we love watching glowing couples come back down the aisle. It’s hard not to burst with happiness when your clients look like this!

Guests were encouraged to make their way downstairs to the reception area for cocktail hour with RG Bar Services while the bridal party celebrated outside of our Bridal Suite.

Renata Amazonas made sure to capture the love birds in some of our favorite photo spots around our Rancho, including this historic seating area in our Welcome Courtyard.

Adore Folklore and Farm Tables & More came together to create this incredible secret garden retreat on our Lower Lawn. This space is intimate yet spacious enough to fit your guests for a cozy and warm environment surrounded by stunning natural beauty.

Mexico City Cuisine set up a delicious Mexican Buffet with a Taco Bar and steaming sides on our built-in bar! Guests raved about the wide selection of topping choices for their tacos, and many came back for seconds.

After dinner, HVK Entertainment helped lead toasts and the special dances, such as the First Dance and Mother and Father Dances, before opening up the dancefloor to everyone for the rest of the night!

VG’s Bakery brought a mouth-watering spread of sugar-glazed dreams for dessert. Donuts of every flavor, shape, and size accompanied the delicious wedding cake! Guests helped themselves to the donuts as they danced and enjoyed the remainder of the evening.
