A Vibrant Blending of Cultures at Oak Farm Vineyards

With Sirish's roots in India's Kerala and Amanda’s childhood around the vineyards of Lodi, Oak Farm was the perfect venue was their unique and personal celebration. Having already exchanged vows in India, this was a chance to celebrate with their friends and family in Amanda's hometown.

The wedding was a mix of Indian flair and California charm. Marigold petals lined the aisle, and vibrant florals covered the ceremony arch and the dinner tables. Amanda wore earrings Sirish found her in India in the days after their Indian ceremony. The food and drinks menu featured samosas, paneer, mango lassi, chai, and Indian sweets and, of course, elephant-shaped cookies served as wedding favors, a playful nod to Sirish's love for the majestic creatures central to Indian culture.

The day wasn't just about the couple; it was a coming together of families and friends from different corners of the world. The wedding stood out as a fun, unscripted blend of traditions, a reflection of Amanda and Sirish's journey to create a life that's as unique and vibrant as the cultures they hail from.

Dramatic Skies & Dramatic Entrances | Joyful Celebration at Ru's Farm, Healdsburg

Chad + Rick (affectionately referred to as Chadrick by loved ones) recently shared vows under a magnificent 100-year-old cork tree at Ru’s Farm in Healdsburg. The grooms joined hands at the top of the aisle and walked down together, before reflecting on their journey together and the importance of bravery and patience. It was an emotional ceremony, with tears shed from the very start.

After the “I dos”, guests sipped on crisp rosé, lemonade, and signature cocktails, surrounded by fragrant fields of lavender and a view of the vineyards in the Alexander Valley. The weather was abnormal for a California summer, with the sky drastically changing from one hour to the next. The day was filled with dramatic clouds and several sunshowers, but the light rain never threaten the celebration.

After a beautiful fresh summer meal, a rainbow appeared over the vineyards (a fitting coincidence with Pride month) and the couple’s nephew opened the barn doors to reveal Chadrick in a dashing white tuxes. They took to the dance floor and the crowd went wild. Lavay Smith & Her Red Hot Skillet Lickers brought a New Orleans flavor and ushered guests to the barn with a full horn section and vibrant “little big band" jazz tunes.


A Modern Twist on Tradition at Mister Jui's Moongate Lounge

 E+L recently tied the knot with a gorgeous ceremony at San Francisco’s ever-impressive City Hall. Towering pillars, sweeping staircases, and white marble complimented their modern and elegant gowns and colorful bouquets.

From City Hall, the group continued on to Moongate Lounge, situated above Mister Jui’s in China Town, for an intimate reception. E+L wanted their reception to be true to their Laotian and Chinese heritage and included a traditional Chinese tea ceremony and a Lao Sou Khuan ceremony, which involves tying cotton strings around the couple’s wrists and sharing prayers and well wishes. The evening was complete with crisp rosé, oysters on ice, and an incredible assortment of Chinese dishes.
