blog, Sacramento Wedding Planner

It was on January 1st of 2009 that I got that call from Sarah, who I had met with in December,  letting me know that they wanted to book my services for their June 6th wedding. What a way to kick off the New Year! I was so excited to work on this wedding, which would have a mid-town ceremony followed by a reception on the grooms’ parents’ ranch in Elk Grove.

On June 6th Sarah and Heath tied the knot at Saint John’s Lutheran Church in Sacramento, the same church where Sarah’s parents were married nearly 30 years prior. After days of rain and some of the most intense thunder storms that Sacramento had seen in years, the skies suddenly cleared to create the most beautiful spring day that a bride could ask for!!

The only thing that was more beautiful than the day was, of course, the bride! Sarah looked absolutely stunning in her ivory lace dress. And, Heath was equally as handsome! It was time to get married! At 4:00, Sarah and Heath were married in a very sweet ceremony amongst 140 friends and family. Everything was perfect and everyone was ready to celebrate!

When the guests arrived at the reception, they were treated to a spring garden setting on the ranch complete with a canopy of market lights, colorful paper lanterns, beautiful flowers,and most importantly,  sangria and delicious appetizers compliments of All Seasons All Reasons Fine Catering.  Music was provided by Music & More, who quickly got the party started! The bride and groom danced their first dance to Allan Jacksons’  “Like Red on a Rose” and it wasn’t long before the entire party was on the dance floor getting their groove on!

Once night fell, the ranch was transformed as the lights came on and the candles were lit. The prior days’ storms had left us with a beautiful sunset and we were also blessed with an amazing full moon that night. After enjoying several hours of great music, dancing and celebrating, the night came to a perfect end as Sarah and Heath were whisked away in their limousine.

I wish the happy couple a lifetime of love and happiness! I feel blessed to have had a hand in making their day happen.Photography for this wedding was provided by Jacqueline Photography, who provided me with these stunning photos! Thanks to all of the awesome vendors who made this day a success!
