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!!

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!

Hannah and Sam’s Modern Chic Spanish Hills Club Wedding

The NEW re-model of the Spanish Hills Club + Hannah & Sam’s modern chic wedding aesthetic will make your jaw drop! This gorgeous design is a blank canvas of white with long wooden floorboards, and a modern spanish twist. Hannah and Sam are the first wedding I’ve done with the Spanish Hills Club since their inside remodel, and HOLY SMOKES! Prepare to be blown away…

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.

Tauran Photography

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! 

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.

The California Wildfire that Nearly Crashed Ashely & Nick’s Rustic Wedding

 After planning Ashley & Nick’s dream wedding for over 2 years, due to the pandemic and postponements, we never expected a wildfire to show up the day of the wedding!

But let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, I need to start at the beginning of this crazy story... 

I met the bride and groom through a childhood friend of mine who works with the bride, Ashley, at Cedar Sinai. Although we’ve been planning their wedding for gosh, over 2 years, we were finally able to celebrate their special day. The bride and groom were truly the most kind, and patient human beings to work with. Through every step, they kept saying to me, “we just want to have the best day together, with our closest friends and family.” 

Ashley & Nick’s wedding was held at The 1909, a hidden gem built into the Topanga mountains that you’d never know was there right off the main street. The aesthetic of their wedding was Rustic Boho with traditional aspects, which I thought fit the venue perfectly.

Their wedding had the most beautiful details and decor, even personalized vases from the Groom’s aunt, who was a potter! She made these gorgeous centerpiece vases for guests to take home with Ashely & Nick’s names engraved in them.

From the start of the ceremony, I had seen wildfire smoke in the distance, which is all too common for California. Summer is unfortunately the SEASON of wildfires for California. This wildfire turned out to be a pretty large fire…

Remaining as calm as possible, we continued to carry on with the wedding and make sure Ashley and Nick enjoyed themselves, but that everyone was safe too. During dinner, the DC-10 and helicopters were working hard to keep the fire away. Right out front of the venue was a Command Center for the LACo Sheriff's department who I became good friends with to ensure they knew we were having a wedding and to inform us of any issues.

More towards the end of the night, as a surprise for the couple, a bridesmaid ordered 40 pizzas to be delivered as a late night snack. But, due to the main road being shut down, the pizza man COULDN’T DELIVER THE PIZZA! So, I (with the Bridesmaid) went out and convinced the Sheriff’s Department to offer the pizza guy an escort, up the shut down road, to deliver the pizzas. I swear I’ve never heard a bigger cheer from the guests when the pizzas FINALLY arrived.

Knowing that we might have to get evacuated soon, I pushed the important traditions up to ensure they got all of their photos and memories in, with time to dance. Then 1 hour before the end of the event, we were informed that we needed to evacuate. Everyone, including the Couple were extremely understanding. 

Amazingly, we all had a great time and were safely evacuated. Even driving home, I had the Wedding Party & the Couple calling to tell me it was an amazing day! 

And and huge thank you to all of the Vendors for Ashley & Nick’s wedding celebration!

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!

J and B's 2020 Intimate Wedding

After moving their original wedding date due to the pandemic, Blair and Jon decided to stick with their 2020 date and say their vows with their immediate family present. It was an incredible day and we were so lucky to have a close friend with a beautiful and lush backyard space. Blair’s Hayley Paige Wedding Gown is one of my favorites, so I was SO excited to see it in person and it looked like it was made just for her! Plus, the Ceremony was extra special with the Bride’s Dad performing the special Jewish Wedding Ceremony.

While we are all excited about their upcoming celebration in 2021, I’m so proud their intimate day was perfect for just them!!
