NAPA & SONOMA WEDDING PLANNING

BEAUTIFULLY PLANNED. MILDLY sarcastic.

WE BELIEVE LUXURY FEELS BETTER

WHEN IT DOESN’T FEEL PERFORMATIVE.

Yes, we care about layered tablescapes, candlelight, and perfectly chilled champagne. But we also care about timelines that actually work, family dynamics that require tactical navigation, and making sure your wedding weekend feels like you - not an overproduced internet trend that ages poorly in six months. We’re equal parts design studio, logistics department, therapist, and professional problem preventer.

And honestly? That’s probably what you’re paying for.

OUR PROCESS IS HIGHLY ORGANIZED

SO YOU DON’T BECOME UNWELL.

  • Outdoor wedding or event reception with long wooden tables decorated with white flowers, candles, glassware, and tableware, set in a garden or backyard with trees and a small brown building in the background.

    01 | WE GET TO KNOW YOU

    Your priorities, your style, your guest experience goals, and your tolerance level for wedding nonsense.

  • A garden with abundant purple and white hydrangea flowers on steps leading up to a terrace, flanked by large urns filled with pink and white floral arrangements, with lush trees in the background.

    02 | WE BUILD THE VISION

    Thoughtful design. Strategic planning. Smart vendor matches. No generic ballroom energy.

  • Elegant outdoor wedding reception with long tables decorated with pink and white floral centerpieces, crystal chandeliers hanging from a white pergola adorned with greenery, surrounded by lush trees and green grass, under natural daylight.

    03 | WE MANAGE THE MOVING PARTS

    Budgets, logistics, production schedules, contracts, timelines, and the approximately 6,000 decisions no one warns you about.

  • Ornate ceiling decorated with hanging flowers, black ribbons, crystal chandeliers, and gold accents.

    04 | YOU ENJOY YOUR WEDDING WEEKEND

    Like a civilized person.
