Brittany and Ned's Wedding - Los Robles Greens

If you are wondering what an upbeat wedding full of surprises, beautiful colors, and dancing looks like, you’ve stumbled upon the most wonderful couple! Brittany and Ned chose Jamison Events to help plan their amazing wedding at Los Robles Greens.

This venue is such accommodable & flexible choice for your wedding, 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.

With a mix of blues, greens, and white we helped spin this wedding together which helped create a calm, yet fun environment for their guests! Here’s their wedding invites if you’re looking for an inspired, simple looking wedding invite with a FRESH feel.

The most fun part of Brittany and Ned’s wedding was their choreographed surprise dance to the Greatest Showman song. Although the pandemic brought challenges in getting everyone together (since most of their wedding party was out of state) to organize their dance, they were able to practice via Zoom and it turned out amazing! This dance was a complete surprise to their guests AND even went VIRAL on our reels page @JamisonEvents, which we loved seeing!!

Los Robles Greens wedding turned out great for this upbeat couple. Brittany and Ned were some of my favorites to work with and cheers to the amazing vendor team for Brittany & Ned’s Wedding!!

Sarah and Kevin's Cozy Wedding in Simi Valley

What does a rustic, private estate wedding look like you might ask? Sarah and Kevin’s wedding was full of desserts, cute wooden barrels, and lots of florals! If you’re thinking of having a wedding in your backyard or a family member’s home, we hope you are inspired by this wedding because no matter what, you can always have a dream wedding.

I love getting to tell how I meet each of my couples. but it’s so much more special when you’re planning a wedding for people who feel like family. Sarah is the SIL of a friend and actually an event planner herself, so this bride was organized and on top of the planning through the entire process.

Their venue was at a family member’s private estate in Simi Valley, an area super native to where my company is based so we worked with many vendors from our area.

It just so happened that my personal friend and Photographer, Jessica Woodard was the photographer on their day and I was so excited. While we had done a styled shoot together, it was the first Wedding we were able to work together on and I loved every minute working with her!

The day-of team from Gold Star staffing was also amazing to work with and made the entire day easy. The decor was classic with a rustic vibe which was a mix of pinks, burgundy and white. And for the reception, there were string lights wrapped all the way up the trees behind the sweetheart table. The overall wedding was classic with a comfortable, cosy home feel.

Sarah and Kevin hit all of the amazing things on their timeline such as; bride and groom pictures during golden hour, a fun grand entrance, speeches, first dances, bouquet toss, garter toss, cake cutting with the YUMMIEST dessert, and last but not least a magical sparkler grand exit. 

And when you’re a wedding planner, some of the fun benefits (at least for me) include being able to snag a piece of cake from one of my favorite bakers: Skiffs, based out of Simi Valley.

Overall, Sarah was a dream to work with and I loved getting to know her family too. I always love a beautiful Wedding that’s local to me and feel blessed to be able to plan incredible events!!

Valerie and Michael's Fall Wedding at Los Robles Greens Gardens

This special day for Valerie and Michael was managed by our planner, Brittney, at Jamison Events. If you thought Jamison Events was a solo team, think again because we actually have a whole team of people + our friendors (vendor friends). Our planner, Brittney, is an absolute rockstar and one of my personal friends! You can find her on IG @brittney_jamisonevents.

Brittney & her team of assistants for the BIG day was Samantha of To Be Loved Events and Devyn of Coordination by Casanova. They all worked their butts off setting up decor, keeping track with the timeline, coordinating the first touch, taking behind-the-scenes clips for our social media assistant, and more!

Los Robles Greens is one of Jamison Events’ friendors, plus they have lots of great packages + inclusives but they were also a huge part of making Valerie & Michael’s dream wedding come to life!

The decor and overall wedding for this couple was a romantic fall color palette of burgundy, purple, and dusty rose tones with pops of gold. This design complimented the venue extremely well! To see this wedding in action, check out our instagram where we shared a behind-the-scenes reel of Valerie and Michael’s Wedding!

Since this couple loves to travel, they had chosen intricate details such as compass escort cards that took the guests to their table which was labeled some of their favorite destination spots! There were romantic cocktail tables, string lights, and a giant dessert table!

This wedding also had the most beautiful golden sunset, which I’m sure their photographer (@maxtepperphoto) got some great photos! I was over the moon to get the chance to work with Max Tepper (photography), as I have always wanted to work with him. When we get their full gallery back, we will be sure to post them on instagram, just make sure you’re following both of us to see them!

Overall, this wedding was so amazing; the night ended with great desserts, lots of dancing, and a sparkler grand exit!

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!

Whimsical Boho Wedding at Twenty Mile House, Tahoe: Sarah + Sam

Are you thinking of planning a dreamy, forest wedding soon? Imagine yourself waking up, and as you open your front door, a pinkish orange sunrise paints across the sky and reflects in ripples across a lake nearby. Pine trees and mountains fill the horizon that in just a few short hours, you’ll be married under. Anticipation and excitement fills the air because today is your wedding day!

This is exactly what it felt like waking up in Graeagle, Tahoe for Sarah & Sam’s wedding at the Twenty Mile House. Still pondering if you want that perfect, dreamy forest wedding? Come along for Sarah and Sam’s Tahoe wedding adventure, where they went from lazy river rafting, to a Mexican dinner rehearsal, to their wedding with all the fall boho feels! 

~Scroll to the end for Sarah & Sam’s Wedding Video

So how did I meet this amazing couple? Sarah and Sam live in the same hometown as me & we got connected because I happened to unexpectedly be friends with the groom and some of the groomsmen. Sarah and Sam are extremely kind humans with a love for music and really good drinks. Like many of the couples I plan weddings for, Sarah and Sam were the perfect match; it felt like planning a wedding for family!

When we met, they were looking for a destination venue that had a dreamy, forest feel. The Twenty Mile House, which is an all-inclusive venue about an hour up from North Tahoe, was the perfect spot. The venue used to be a trading post in 1854, eventually becoming a general store, a railroad stop, a private residence and now an incredible wedding venue with onsite cabins to stay in for the weekend.

Together we came up with a whimsical boho wedding aesthetic and the bride, Sarah knew & planned exactly what decor she wanted. Her main want was LOTS of pampas grass, because you can’t go boho without pampas grass in the floral arrangements!  A fun, unique thing Sarah and Sam did was send their personalized wedding invites to their favorite music artists including Taylor Swift and the Abbot Brothers. So, if they happen to be reading this, hello! 

One of the best things Sarah and Sam got to plan & experience was lazy river rafting the day before their wedding; and I mean who ACTUALLY gets to have fun + not stress before their wedding! (the benefits of having a wedding planner comes in handy. I also helped plan a full weekend of events, including a Mexican themed rehearsal dinner with a relaxing, easygoing vibe. Guests also enjoyed a full BBQ dinner for the wedding and a special brunch the morning after! 

Overall, the guest experience was THE BEST! Besides being treated with all of the amazing food, when arriving at their cabins for the weekend, guests received custom Welcome Packages and Hangover Kits. At the ceremony, guests were also complimented with many guest favors including; custom hand sanitizer, shawls, fans, and bird seed to throw once the couple were married. The guests were also greeted with their choice of signature cocktail before the ceremony & delicious, handcrafted drinks during cocktail hour by Petite Street Bar, an awesome mobile bar vendor. 

And the guest experience doesn’t stop there, because during the reception there was a beautiful lounge space by Tahoe Rustic Rentals, a unique photo experience from The Vintage Photobooth van from Orange County, and a custom CD with Sarah and Sam’s favorite songs on them! 

The vendors for Sarah & Sam’s wedding were incredible, and I was especially thankful to work with the Twenty Mile House Staff and venue director, Rachel. The florist, Sonia Greys, even went out of her way to hide dream catchers in the wedding ceremony arch to surprise the bride with small, personal touches! Gia Boyd Designs also handmade beautiful custom signs, stationary, programs, and favors. Each reception table setting included a handmade coaster, menu, and dream catcher.

One of the most stunning pieces for Sarah & Sam’s wedding was the ceremony arch, which we moved behind the sweetheart table for the reception and added a neon sign saying, “You’re My Golden Hour” a line from their first dance song “Golden Hour,” by Kasey Musgraves. A new popular, but once uncommon trend they loved was being able to include their dog, Zeppelin, who happily found a favorite spot curled up on Sarah’s dress train. 

A huge thank you to Lisa (my best friend), who was my assistant for the weekend and went on coffee walks with me in the beautiful town of Graeagle, prior to the wedding.

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!

Courtney & Chas’ Lake Tahoe Wedding in the Mountains

How do you find a beautiful destination venue? Well, if you’re looking for an outdoor space with trees and a VIEW, like Courtney and Chas were, look no further!

The Resort at Squaw Creek is a luxury venue in Lake Tahoe, California. A resort that offers an idyllic mountain setting with tall pine trees and lush meadows. This venue became the perfect place for Courtney and Chas’s wedding!

We met Courtney and Chas because the bride happened to be a sister of one of my long time friends in Fresno, where I was born. Although we had one postponement of their wedding due to the pandemic, when we rescheduled the wedding, we wanted them to have an entire weekend of fun! Courtney and Chas’s main focus of the weekend was to celebrate with their closest friends and family, and to dance the night away.

The wedding ceremony was on the Golf Greens which had a sweeping view of the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Even though it snowed the week prior and SNOW was still on the mountains, the weather could not have been more perfect! We then proceeded to a cozy cocktail hour with fireplaces outside.

After cocktail hour, we moved to the tented Reception space. We originally tented the Reception for the aesthetic, but we were so glad we did because it started to rain. I was told by locals brief showers like that are common, and within ten minutes, a quick storm moved in with thunder and lightning, then left. Luckily everyone was already in the tent by the time that happened. 

One of my favorite and proudest parts of the reception was the head table, where the Couples’ friend had made a backdrop wall to display their beautiful florals and a neon “The Rowlands'' sign. And the entire reception was filled with a fun night of music and dance, just like the couple envisioned! 

I want to say how wonderful the vendors were, because everyone worked really hard to make it an amazing weekend! And to my best friend, Lisa, who also assisted me and took behind the scenes photos, I appreciate and love you dearly. We added a little time in our drive home to stop and capture some fun photos, and see my parents who were nearby too!

Julie & Mike's Fairytale Westlake Village Inn Wedding

A couple years ago I met who is now one of my best work friends, Samantha of To Be Loved Events. We now often work in conjunction or assist for each other when the time allows. It offers us both needed help from someone we know well and is experienced and insures every event we manage is smooth, The same was for Julie and Mike’s Wedding in November 2020. I had the honor to take the lead in planning for their amazing day and it was perfect.

While we were still in the midst of the pandemic, the Westlake Village Inn made their wedding easy and flawless. Every vendor worked exceptionally hard and as you can see by their photos, it was beautiful too! With socially distanced seating but still a little dancing during the reception, the day could not have been better!

Jackie & Juan's Huntington Beach Wedding

Like all of our weddings in 2020, the situation with COVID caused several stumbling blocks to Jackie and Juan’s big day. BUT also like all of our weddings, the outcome was so amazing and worth it.

Only a few weeks from their wedding Jackie and Juan had to find an alternative location for their big day. Moving from a venue in Los Angeles County to Huntington Beach, the restrictions were less rigid in Orange County. The Waterfront Hotel in Huntington Beach proved to be an amazing space to host their wedding. Right on the beach, the sunset view during their Ceremony was incredible. Jackie and Juan are truly good people, with amazing full hearts. It felt so good to get them married and fufill their dream wedding!!

Each of their vendors ensured and incredible experience for the couple and their guests. All outdoors and properly socially distanced, the day could not have offered better weather and the served buffet dinner was truly yummy. I’m so thrilled with these beautiful light and airy photos!

Meaghan & Scott's Santa Barbara Nuptials

If you know me, you know the Riviera Mansion in Santa Barbara is one of my favorite venues. My Brother was married here, so its special. When Meaghan and Scott reached out about their special day, I was so excited. Their dream was to have a Wedding that felt like an intimate party with 200 of their closest friends, and OH was it just that! The day prior Meaghan and Scott said their vows at the iconic Santa Barbara Courthouse with just their immediate familes and the next day was the PARTY! When I think back to this special day, I just remember how in love these two were/are the way they looked at each other, how gracious they were to each other and how happy they were. It was incredible and so well deserved. Here is a small glimpse into their special day!

Also a quick mention- Scott C. (the Groom) is an incredible artist who creates paintings, illustrations and comics with celebrity clients! Check out his creations here- https://www.scottc.com/
