Jenna and Micah's Romantic Botanical Wedding
Dreaming of having a romantic outdoor wedding? If you’re much like Jenna and Micah, they chose the Los Robles Greens venue, a favorite of mine too! Los Robles Greens is very accommodable & flexible venue, including: customized catering menus, a bridal suite, referrals on other vendors, and more! This venue can adapt to MANY different themes & styles, however one of my favorite aesthetics is the romantic, elegant garden vibe.

Jenna and Micah chose full-time planning with me, from beginning-to-end. I love planning full-time for my couples becase the longer + better I get to know a couple, the more perfectly their wedding day ends up becoming! Although wedding planning can cause stress for couples, Jenna and Micah are genuinely sweet, laid-back individuals and since Jenna actually works in education, she had a lot of patience. As a wedding planner, I also try to create a low-stress environment for the couple & make sure they are taken care of so we all meshed well together!
The bride’s wedding style was elegant and romantic with a bit of modern flare. Therefore we all banded together at Los Robles Greens to turn this venue into a romantic botanical DREAM. Her florals offered a botanical organic feel with pops of soft pinks, yellows and greens. Check out all of these detail pictures for inspiration if you love blue wedding colors, outdoor weddings, and the same style as this couple!
One of the sweetest details of their wedding was the guest book, probably one of my favorite ideas, where guests were encouraged to highlight their favorite Bible verse. I had to add mine which is Jerimiah 29:11, which I recite daily + have as the wallpaper on my phone as a reminder too!
The overall wedding was created around a comfortable, enjoyable, warm feeling for their guests to mingle, dance and laugh the night away. Check out these awesome dancing pictures by Wedding Nature Photography:
As fall weather slowly creeps its way in, Jenna and Micah’s wedding ended up being a cooler night, so the guests enjoyed the custom created dessert station and venue provided coffee bar and viennese desserts. I've never seen a group LOVE desserts as much as me, we couldn't keep them stocked!
Congratulations again Jenna & Micah! And if you were wondering who all of these amazing vendors were for this wedding, check them out below!

Ivan and Irene
On a scale of calm to bride-zilla, Hannah is probably one of the most organized and relaxed brides’ I’ve ever worked with! Considering her groom, Sam, is from the UK and had family traveling internationally, I was incredibly impressed by her composure. They were both two of the kindest people ever & with my team at Jamison Events, we helped create an incredible day for them!
Since the new re-model of Spanish Hills Club is pretty much a blank canvas, we had a lot of freedom for design, but this also meant a lot of space to fill! We used a mix of long & round tables with lots of candles, which turned out super elegant & romantic. Their welcome table turned into a sort of welcome room with white roses, mini candles, a “we’re so glad you’re here” sign, a guest book canvas to sign with a custom outline drawing of the bride and groom, a gifts table with a clear card box & tissues for guests. Check out our instagram reel at the end of this blog to see this decor in action!
Ivan and Irene
The bride and groom chose a unique Ceremony twist by facing the fireplace inside, which became the altar & backdrop for the wedding ceremony, which was absolutely beautiful with the black chiavari modern chairs, hanging modern chandeliers, and dj in the back left corner.
Jamison Events
During cocktail hour and photos, we flipped this same space for the Reception and filled the room with round tables and white linens, also re-using the flowers from the ceremony. The sweetheart table was a stunning half-moon table with lots of candles,white linen draped with elegance, and simple table settings. My favorite part was when we had a few free minutes to show Hannah and Sam their Reception space setup and ready. Hannah joyfully said, “This is exactly my vision, I love it so much.” That meant so much to my Wedding Planner heart. Making my Bride happy, is everything I work for!
Ivan & Irene
The whole reception was also super fun with some funny speeches, and lots of dancing. With the new floorboards, the sound really bounced off and filled the room, so I would recommend testing the sound level during preparations to make sure you don’t wake up the next morning with limited hearing!
Overall, the wedding went incredible & the vendors were great. Most of all, Hannah and Sam were like models in front of the camera. I can't wait to see more of their photos!

Rachel and Preston’s Summer Sparkler Wedding
Imagine this⎯ a lush green backdrop covered in vines, a summer breeze blowing, and the soothing sound of rippling water from a fountain. You’re inside the Los Robles Greens Wedding venue where a wedding ceremony is taking place; everything seems calm & joyful. As you look around, you notice the flowers & decor decorate the ceremony with a modern, summer vibe, which is perfect for the terracotta ceremony accents. The bride looks stunning in her beaded wedding gown and long veil as she walks down the aisle towards her beaming groom.

This is the wedding of Rachel and Preston.
This couple is extremely kind, with gentle spirits which makes sense considering Preston is a Pastor of a Church in Los Angeles. Their personalities reflected beautifully throughout their entire wedding which had a relaxed, fun vibe.
After getting ready, the wedding began with a first look between the bride and groom, which meant they could take photos with the wedding party before the guests arrived. The wedding party was dressed in mismatched blues for the bridesmaids & grey suits for the groomsmen.
Tauran Photography
There was a beautiful ceremony in The Gardens of Los Robles Greens Venue & since a good portion of their families were International, due to the pandemic, they couldn’t attend, so they incorporated a LIVE feed for their loved ones. Rachel & Preston also made their own vows & then they were officially married!
After the ceremony, followed a brief cocktail hour which served the guests coffee, and since coffee is important to the bride and groom, they hired a barista coffee vendor to offer custom coffees throughout the cocktail hour AND reception. After the bride and groom had their grand entrance after cocktail hour, they incorporated a conjoined father/daughter & mother/son dance. The entire reception was very sweet and included a family-created slideshow for their guests near the end of the night.

And WAIT, because this was the most exciting part! To ensure they got perfect photos, 1 hour prior to the end of the night, Rachel & Preston had a sparkler “grand exit”. This sparkler exit was very important to the bride and groom, so we made sure to run them through twice to ensure photo & video got the perfect opportunities!

And that’s a wrap on another amazing Los Robles Greens wedding, one of my favorite venues with amazing vendors & the most yummy food!

Wedding With a Puppy?! Becca & Nick’s Los Robles Greens Wedding
How do you make a dream wedding happen when you have to find a whole NEW venue? Well, when you are connected with amazing vendors like Los Robles Greens, anything can happen!
How do you make a dream wedding happen when you have to find a whole NEW venue? Well, when you are connected with amazing vendors like Los Robles Greens, anything can happen!
Los Robles Greens is a golf course with a stunning wedding venue in Thousand Oaks that offers an unequaled locale for extraordinary weddings and creates one-of-a-kind weddings. Not only did they step up to host Becca & Nick’s wedding, but they offer many amenities, services and recommendations that I am a fan of.
Although the pandemic caused them to have to find a new venue, I have to say Becca was one of the most organized brides I’ve ever worked with! She was so on top of her tasks during the process, and it’s not everyday you meet a bride who has a wedding planner mindset.
This is also the second wedding in a month that the photographer, Kate Van Amringe, and I have done together and she was amazing to work with again! All of the photos you see here are due to her beautiful talent.
During some beautiful first look pictures, we helped bring out Becca & Nick’s GOLDENDOODLE to the photoshoot! This cute little puppy’s name is Stanley!
The couple had a beautiful ceremony in The Gardens outdoor ceremony of Los Robles. There was a beautiful backdrop of vines at the altar, but those weren’t the only plants in this wedding…Yamaguchi’s Florals created the most incredible pieces for the couple! They even custom built Becca & Nick’s cake stand to match all of the floral designs in the wedding.
As the ceremony was ending, Becca had a surprise for her Groom! A bagpiper came into the end of the ceremony playing a beautiful tune and led the couple to their Grand Entrance. The rest of the reception was filled with dancing and one last surprise that Becca & Nick had for their guests....an In-n-Out Truck!
It felt amazing to be back working with the Los Robles Greens team, they always do a great job. And a huge thank you to all of the vendors for being on top of their game and working together to give Becca & Nick the greatest day.

Jenn and Sam's Spanish Hills Club Wedding
Beautiful outdoor wedding reception at the Spanish Hills Club in Camarillo, CA.
2020 didnt stop these two! Even though we had to ensure a bit of social distancing and move outdoors, Sam and Jenn’s Wedding was special. I gained a true new love for my Weddings (not being able to host weddings for a while), so when they happen in 2020, to me, that’s a HUGE deal!! We only had the first dance (no dancing was yet allowed in California) but that was ok with the Couple. Instead we focused on amazing food, service and time with loved ones. All of the participaing vendors stepped up to ensure every detail to their day was perfect. These photos have me!! Jessica Lynn is one of my new favorites and I know we will be working together lots in the future!

Monica & Jentsen's Wedding Day!
Incredible Camarillo, CA Wedding for Monica & Jentsen.
Elementary School Best Friends… Monica and Jentsen have been together since they were teenagers!! The best part about their Wedding was that the whole experience felt like family, being together that long meant their families had also been together for a long time.
Just like all of our 2020 Weddings, theirs was unique. Only three days prior we were told by their Church and the State that we would be able to take their Ceremony from 10 people to 100! So, we jumped on the opportunity.
With masks on, hand sanitizer and temperature checks at the door. These two were married at the most beautiful Church in Camarillo, CA. After we enjoyed a family Reception at their home. This was unique because we did “timed invitations” to ensure we never had too many guests at once. Going into it, I wasnt sure how it would work, but like everything this day, it was smooth and their family and friends were amazing about all of the unique procedures.
Not only were Monica and Jentsen amazing, so were their vendors. Everyone stepped up to ensure this day would be perfect for them both. Even with last minute changes. They also rented and Air B&B close to their home with a view, to allow for some amazing Wedding Photos!

Rosie + Patrick's Spanish Hills Wedding
Rosie & Patrick’s Dream Spanish Hills Country Club Wedding
One of the hardest part of this Wedding for me… choosing which photos to post on this BLOG!! Ok, I’m slightly teasing but Rosie was the most beautiful Bride with Patrick her LAFD Groom and deciding which photos to post was really hard (they were all so great!). Ha! I think the number one comment I get about her… she looks like Megan Markle!! I totally agree. This was one of the best parties with some of my favorite vendors too! Rosie said something during her speech that has remained with me. She said “I have waited 37 years for this, this was so special to me.” and it made me remember how incredible this job is. Genuinely making dreams come true! I love reminiscing every second of this special day.
Rosie and I carefully planned every aspect of this day. From their traditional Catholic aspects to their Ceremony to the Mariachi at Cocktail Hour, their Military Sword Grand Entrance and their beautifully choreographed first dance. Rosie surprised her Groom with a Sonora Dinamita tribute band and the Groom’s crew from the LAFD surprised the Bride with a CORED cake! If you haven’t seen this before… its terrifying for the Vendors, haha! But a tradition for all Firemen getting hitched!
Everything turned out literally perfect. I look over these photos with so much pride and nostalgia. I can truly say Rosie has become a friend and I’m so honored to have been her Wedding Planner!!

Nicole & Ryan say "I Do!"
Nicole and Ryan’s beautiful Sherwood Country Club Wedding was nothing short of a dream.
Nicole and Ryan’s beautiful Sherwood Country Club Wedding was nothing short of a dream. With some of the very best vendors, their day was filled with custom special moments. Not only is Nicole one of the sweetest, but she’s also a very talented cookie decorator! We were able to see her special cookies at each table setting and her soft palette of Blush, Burgundy and Gold, accentuated the Ballroom’s aesthetic well.
