Ok, this Brasada Ranch wedding takes the cake for my most rowdy summer wedding of 2024. I mean this in the best way, because any wedding where I end up dancing on the dance floor well beyond I’m off the clock, is a sign of a good time.

There is a chance you’ve stumbled upon this post because you’re considering getting married at this blissful sanctuary of a wedding site, and let me tell you, just pull the trigger. I had a chance to experience the amenities, the restaurants and an afternoon poolside at Brasada Ranch and it’s a one of a kind place with beautiful views and lots to do.

After over a decade together, and several babies later, Mikaela and Michael did things their own way. Surrounded by a really fun crew of individuals, everyone went big for a lively celebration, filled with lots of speciality cocktails, and even more tears. I relive this day in my head often and would enjoy doing it all over again.

M&M hired someone to watercolor portraits of their guests, and their DJ played a set that was anything but run of the mill (thank god!). Their signage was printed on cloth, billowing in the wind under the bar tops, which were adorned in Amy of Brier and Ivy’s insanely beautiful flowers (as to be expected.) Lauren, their coordinator had me laughing all day, and the rest of the vendor team became fast friends. We came together to support M&M, and rocked this day. The energy and emotion is palpable, take a look for yourself.
