Ranch At Lake Sonoma Wedding

Ranch At Lake Sonoma

Andra and Nick’s wedding unfolded in the heart of wine country, beginning with a stunning ceremony at Geyserville Inn. The day started at a private home they rented in Geyserville, perched high above the bluffs with sweeping views of the vineyards below. This serene setting was perfect for their pre-ceremony photos and an intimate first look.

From there, we made our way to Geyserville Inn, where they exchanged vows overlooking the region’s iconic rolling vineyards. After capturing some lively and joyful bridal party photos, we headed to the reception at the Ranch at Lake Sonoma.

The reception space offered breathtaking panoramic views of Lake Sonoma, creating a truly unforgettable backdrop. Guests gathered near a rustic barn, but dinner was held outdoors to take full advantage of the crisp fall evening and glowing sunset over the lake. On the opposite side, charming equine corrals added a unique touch, with gentle horses quietly observing the celebration. It was a magical day from beginning to end, blending natural beauty with heartfelt moments.

When we first arrived to the Ranch At Lake Sonoma Wedding reception there were two donkeys to greet you with saddlebags handing out beer to the guests!

These two were adorable and loved adventure.  They vacation all over the world and that is what brought them together.   They used a globe for a sign in board. The table seating chart was made out of wine corks with paper airplane’s with guest names to depict which destination table they were to sit at ( so original, I loved it)!   These were all destinations they had travelled together.

The Ranch At Lake Sonoma wedding receception has all the rustic charm with beautiful candlelight inside the barn with a sweet little table for their adventures and photos of their two pups that didn’t get to attend.  They also had a beautiful remembrance table of family members who had passed.

When going inside for the reception festivities they were doing a lot of traditional activities from their home countries.  They had pastries and families were singing songs, a chair dance up in the air and even a hat dance.  They had a special dance where all the guests encircled the room in like a twisted circle and went in and out of the barn.  Needless to say, it was a very fun reception with a lot of humor!
