In case you haven’t heard, Wente Weddings are back in action! With the vineyard’s grounds looking as lush as ever, Alyssa and John are among the first to tie the knot in this perfect outdoor wedding setting. Not to mention, this occasion’s color palette was made for Wente’s white architecture and budding green leaves. You won’t want to miss this gorgeous affair with its equally beautiful moments. Relive the romance on Alyssa and John’s special day!
Getting Ready
Let the day commence! Our Bride and Groom put together their finishing touches while spending quality time with their closest friends. Alyssa looks absolutely stunning in her delicately laced gown, and John looks just as sharp in his stylish slate suit.
First Look
With heels buckled and boutonnieres pinned, Alyssa and John make their way to the courtyard for their First Look. Excitement and suspense build as the moment draws nearer. Our couple turns to each other and smiles light up their faces.
To make this special moment even sweeter, the soonlyweds pull out their handwritten vows to exchange in private before doing so in front of loved ones.
Ceremony
Before this outdoor wedding reception can start, one thing needs to be taken care of. Alyssa and John make their way to the St. Elizabeth Seton Church just up the road, where their futures await them.
Our bride joins her father arm in arm, and they walk towards the altar. Ethereal light shines in every corner of the church as our couple says their ‘I dos.’
Wedding Party Potraits
With Alyssa and John officially hitched, it’s time to snap some picturesque (and fun) wedding party portraits back at Wente Vineyards. Regina K. Popova does a fantastic job of blending the two. Also, who doesn’t love a photo shoot on the Golden State Trolley?!
Cocktail Hour
While the wedding party continues to have their fun, family, and friends are escorted to Cocktail Hour. Wente Vineyards provides the wine and drinks, while Catered Too brings the delicious bites!
The Details
What would a wedding be without the details? And this outdoor wedding pulls out all the stops! Fantasy Sound Event Services lights up the space with the warm glow of hanging market lights and candle chandeliers. Fleurish CA drapes each surface and table with lush greenery (including those candle chandeliers!). The Wedding Planner, Bradie Flores of Flores Events, quality checks the carefully arranged tablescapes provided by Pleasanton Event Rentals.
Couple Portraits
Alyssa and John sneak off one last time to catch the setting sun and a few newlywed portraits!
Outdoor Wedding Reception
Let’s get this party started! There is no better way to kick off the festivities than with a wedding party that brings the vibe! With the help of the DJ, Robbie Rich, they set the perfect tone for the evening.
First Dance
The newlyweds take to the dance floor and sway under the glow of candlelight. Once their First Dance has concluded, John’s mother and Alyssa’s father join them on the floor for another spin.
Cake Cutting
Who wants a slice? Alyssa and John look happy as can be during the sweetest time of the evening.
Open Dancing
As the sun goes down on this outdoor wedding, the music turns up! Friends, family, and loved ones take the floor and dance the night away.
Congratulations, Alyssa & John! Thank you for allowing us to be apart of your love story.
And thank you to all of our creative partners who helped bring their special day to life!
