I knew, as soon as I stepped foot onto Greengate's property, that I had found the perfect place for our dream wedding. And, boy, do I love being right! :)
The property is stunning.... Our wedding was at the beginning of November, and the foliage on the trees and in the vineyards were beautifully golden, perfect for our autumn wedding. The lawns were also gorgeous and green (my favorite color). I was a nervous bride, and I woke up every morning around 5am. But I would sit outside in the crisp morning air, and calm myself by gazing at the beautiful rolling vineyards and listen to the lovely breeze blowing through the branches of the pepper trees.
The bridal party and some of our closest friends and family stayed on the property, and all of them marveled at how it was like staying at a luxury resort! All of the houses were so comfortable, and provided such a great space for our welcome party and all the last-minute wedding prep. I and the bridesmaids had our hair and makeup done in the Yosemite Room in the Ranch House. Plenty of space and beautiful space to hang out with my girls!
We took our family portraits in the backyard of the Ranch House, had our ceremony at the pond, and our reception in front of and inside the beautiful barn. The property offered so much variety for the different elements of our special day, and our guests loved it. The catering/food prep area was conveniently located near the dining area, and we set up the bar under the walnut tree (which had mason jar candles hanging from the branches). There was a restroom very conveniently located nearby the dining area as well. It's a perfectly designed venue.
Corinne and her staff are wonderful. Corinne always responded very promptly to my many questions throughout the many months of planning. And the staff who helped us throughout the wedding weekend (especially Jenna!) were always available to help us and our guests with anything. We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
Thank you, Corinne, Jenna, and everyone at Greengate, for giving us the wedding weekend of our dreams!
