A Ruby Red Wedding at Orfila Vineyards & Winery | Stephanie and Sean

By Orfila Vineyards and Winery, March 26, 2013 Venues

Just five months before their big day, Stephanie and Sean booked Orfila Vineyards and Winery for their dream wedding. Because Stephanie has a passion for wildlife, and Sean loves being active outdoors, the couple had always envisioned an outdoor wedding. Orfila was an ideal location to tie the knot, with its beautifully manicured lawns and view of the San Pasqual Valley agricultural preserve.

Sean began his romantic journey with Stephanie by proposing with a unique family ring, featuring a gorgeous Ruby center stone. Stephanie was so touched by his thoughtfulness that she decided to incorporate the ruby color of the ring into their wedding decor and attire.

To integrate his Jewish heritage, Sean was adamant about hand building the traditional chuppah that they were to be married under.

Just before sunset, on the gorgeous lawn overlooking our majestic vineyard in the San Pasqual Valley, the couple was married.

Ruby red accents were present throughout the entire event, including the flowers, the love notes written by the 120 close family and friends who attended, and the silk sash that wrapped around Stephanie’s lace wedding gown.

While guests sipped on award-winning Orfila wines, Stephanie and Sean enjoyed their first moments as husband and wife, and relaxed in our Old World Tasting Room.

Following the cocktail hour, guests gathered for a warm evening reception in our large tent. The tent was draped with market lights, setting the mood for a romantic and vivacious soiree.

A Unique and Charming Wedding at Mt. Woodson Castle | Ramona, California

By Mt. Woodson Castle, February 26, 2013 Venues

Mt. Woodson Castle is a historic event venue, nestled in the rugged natural setting of Ramona, California. Built in the 1920’s, the Castle sits adjacent to the Mt. Woodson Golf Club. It is multi-level, and consists of 12,000 square feet! With an amazing management team, led by our Venue Coordinator Tracy Zemke, Mt. Woodson Castle offers magical wedding ceremonies and receptions.

In October of 2012, we held a beautiful Mt. Woodson Castle ceremony and reception for Kyle and Melina. With help from Julie Scrivener, wedding coordinator from The Best Wedding for You, Kyle and Melina’s rustic country wedding theme came together exceptionally.

Melina and her ladies prepped for the wedding in the Bridal Suite, which is located inside the Castle, upstairs from the Great Room.

Meanwhile, the guys got ready and relaxed down the hall, in their own Groom’s Suite.

As soon as the wedding party was ready for the celebration to begin, they popped their heads to announce their presence.

Kyle and Melina’s ceremony was held on the Front Lawn of the Castle, surrounded by friends and family. The Castle itself served as a gorgeous backdrop for the ceremony.

After reciting their vows, Kyle and Melina ventured around the Castle’s property to enjoy their first moments as husband and wife.The happy couple was photographed near various locations, including the windmill and the serene lake.

After the ceremony, guests moved dining tables on the Upper Lawn, near the Castle’s front doors. Since the bride and groom both have backgrounds in graphic design, each table was named after a different type font. The reception was filled with beautiful shades of ivory, burgundy and burlap, with the décor and centerpieces created by Tessilk Flowers.

Mr. and Mrs. Isbell were welcomed into the reception during their grand entrance. Later into the evening, guests enjoyed a delicious menu from Personal Touch Dining.

Following dinner, Kyle and Melina share their First Dance as husband and wife inside the Castle’s Great Room.

The Great Room is aptly named, with its 16-foot ceilings, charming fireplace, wood beams and stone walls. For this wedding, the Great Room was transformed into an evening party, with music by Elite British DJ.

The evening continued with tons of dancing, a bouquet toss from the balcony of the Castle, and a cupcake cutting to end the evening. It was truly an amazing wedding for a very beautiful couple.

Our Wedding Venue Spotlight Shines on The Grand Del Mar

By True Photography, January 17, 2013 Venues

For most brides, the wedding venue selection is one of the most important steps when planning a wedding. A lot of times, the booking of the wedding venue is the very first step in the process! From there, the rest of the visual details start falling into place.

We thought we’d highlight one of our all time favorite San Diego wedding venues, The Grand Del Mar. This is an excellent location for couples looking to have a luxurious and stately wedding, with options available for extravagant and intimate events.

The Grand Del Mar feels like our second (much more impressive) home, and balances a romantic Mediterranean ambiance with the amenities of a fine resort.

While preparing for the wedding, couples can get ready and relax in luxury! In fact, The Grand Del Mar has been named by Conde Nast Traveler as one of the “World’s Best Places To Stay.”

The Grand Del Mar can host a ceremony for nearly 300 guests in the gorgeous old world chapel, which features beamed ceilings and stained glass windows.

For couples who have always dreamed of an outdoor ceremony, the Aria Lawn is the perfect spot! The lawn, which overlooks the resort’s golf course, features a Moroccan pavilion and a staircase to make a grand entrance.

The pristine landscapes and grand architectural components of The Grand Del Mar make for timeless, stunning images. Some of our favorite spots include the authentic wine cellar, the gazebo, the Moroccan pavilion, the courtyard fountain, and the resort library.

For intimate wedding receptions, we typically photograph in the Grand’s signature restaurant, Addison. Addison is the only Five-Star/ Five Diamond restaurant in Southern California.

For larger receptions, the Elizabeth Ballroom is always breathtaking. The Ballroom features crystal chandeliers, ornate finishings and a large performance stage, and can be customized to each couple’s event.

For the ultimate wedding experience, the culinary team and award-winning wine director prepare the most delicious and fresh menus.

With 10,000 square feet and a full stage, the ballroom can easily accommodate even the most extravagant party, with hundreds of guests, themed dancers and live bands.

Evenings at The Grand Del Mar lead to unique photographic opportunities too. We have captured our couples at the Reflection Pool, watching fireworks on the Aria Lawn, having a celebratory cigar on the deck, and heading up the grand staircase to their wedding night suite.
