Stories & Scenery
Our philosophy insists on prioritizing the time of your life with timeless designs and complete attention to detail. Elegantly planning everything you envisioned, and more.
The soft mountain air, that quiet feel of luxury, the muted colors of the hillside contrasted by the deep blues of the sky — our designs are inspired by the rolling vineyards of California. Infused with a similarly hushing, yet exhilarating ability to make you feel present.

AS BOLD AS YOUR FAVORITE RED WINE
Years ago, when I walked into the very first wedding I had planned, I remember feeling like I had never been more in my element. That sentiment has not swayed since.
I hold a limitless desire to create, discover, and redefine — a deep-seated part of who I am that spreads into the weddings I plan — hearing your backstory and then turning that into a wedding experience that looks and feels like you.
Born and raised in the Central Coast of California, this place is home to my life and full-time profession. I love it so much that I have to edit my emails so I don’t overuse the word, “love.” I am grateful to have built a team that feels the same way — consisting of 2 lead coordinators and 4+ assistant coordinators who are all detail-oriented, empathetic, and design savvy.

"Jade was incredible throughout the entire process and made our vision for our wedding come to life... I had built up a vision in my head and feared it was an unrealistic expectation - but our wedding was everything I envisioned! That would not have been possible without her. Jade made everything happen with a seamless feel. The day of the wedding went smoothly directly due to her efforts. Everything went off without a hitch and she made sure we enjoyed ourselves. My wedding would not have been as beautiful, seamless, stress-free, or fun without Jade being the driving force behind the scenes. I am forever grateful to Jade!"

Jade’s Wedding Connections Stem From Home Too
Jade’s plus one, but also, husband and sounding board, is Derek Preciado, a fine art wedding photographer and cinematographer. They share an office and a full-time profession in the world of weddings (in addition to running a wedding-centered podcast and photo booth company). And when they happen to be collaborating on the same wedding event, they discuss the ideal flow and timeline to beautifully blend visuals and logistics. Their roles on the wedding day, too, sync up naturally — with easy anticipation of the other’s needs.
On a personal level, they love traveling together and enjoying wineries — both those that are around the corner, and others around the globe. To them, workouts together are like date night. After all, the gym is where they met over 10 years ago.
FEATURED FOR WEDDINGS LIKE YOURS
