It’s hard to believe it’s already been a month since these two tied the knot on one of their favorite stretches of sand.⁠ ⁠ There’s something so special about working with couples who we just click with — when planning feels effortless, conversations flow, and the wedding day is pure joy from start to finish.⁠ ⁠ Photography @natashalozanoffphoto ⁠ Florals @tycaflowers ⁠ Catering @christinastacos831 ⁠ DJ @yerstrooly ⁠ Rentals @alexispartyrental & @eventscapesinc ⁠ Planning, Staffing & Coordination @wedding_connection ⁠ Dessert @anouchkabakery

Pastels done right—Megan & Nick’s wedding 1 year ago was a dreamy lesson in balance. Soft blush, buttery ivory, and just the lightest hint of blue kept the palette airy and romantic without feeling overly sweet.⁠ ⁠ We loved mixing raw wood tables with linen-draped rounds to add texture and contrast to the florals and settings. Paired with sculptural florals and thoughtful color placement, the result was clean, modern, and effortlessly elegant.⁠ ⁠ Happy anniversary, M&N! Your color story still has us swooning. 💐⁠ ⁠ Photography @poppyandvinephoto@everydayforeverweddings , ⁠ Florals @driftwoodandroses ⁠ DJ @santacruzdjcompany ⁠ Catering @thehollinshouse ⁠ Beauty @viviansampsonbeauty ⁠ Venue @thehollinshouse ⁠ Planning @wedding_connection

Madison & Jackson’s June wedding was the perfect blend of Napa sunshine and East Coast elegance — all in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Think fresh lemonade, breezy linens, and timeless style. 🍋🤍⁠ ⁠ ⁠ Photographer @kendallaubreyphoto ⁠ Venue @thebarnatriverhouse ⁠ Videography @tenayafilms ⁠ Florals @williwildflower ⁠ Dress @unveiledbridalsf ⁠ Hair and Makeup @malinahairandmua ⁠ Catering Love Creek Catering⁠ Rentals @alexispartyrental ⁠ DJ @santacruzdjcompany ⁠ Cake @butterybakery ⁠ Transportation CLS Global ⁠ Dessert @somethingsbakingbybella ⁠ Stationary @vistaprint ⁠ Planning and Coordination @wedding_connection ⁠ ⁠ #SantaCruzWeddingPlanner #SantaCruzWeddings #CentralCoastWeddings #CaliforniaWeddingPlanner #SantaCruzBride #SantaCruzEvents #NorCalWeddingPlanner #MontereyBayWeddings #CoastalWeddingPlanner #SantaCruzLove #SCWeddingPlanner #WeddingPlanningSantaCruz #SantaCruzWeddingExpert #WeddingsByTheSea #SantaCruzCelebrations#SantaCruzWeddingVenue #BarnWeddingSantaCruz #RedwoodWedding #CoastalWeddingVenue #NorCalWeddingVenue #ForestWeddingVibes #CaliforniaBarnWedding #SantaCruzMountainsWedding #RusticWeddingVenue #VenueWithAView #RiverHouseSantaCruz #CentralCoastVenue #RedwoodsAndRoses #MountainWeddingMagic #colorfulweddingflorals ⁠

Our first wedding of the year, this past January could not have had BETTER weather! Congrats to these two lucky humans!

When couples visit River House, they never ask where the “best photo spot” is .. because it’s obvious that it’s everywhere. Which is your favorite?

Let’s talk about the guys!⁠ ⁠ We know wedding fashion tends to spotlight the bride… but what about the men? ⁠ ⁠ Skip the “boardroom” grays and navies and choose something that feels wedding-worthy. We’re loving green in every shade (especially textured, tweed, or linen), but you can never go wrong with a timeless black tux for that classic, elevated look. Add a little flair, have some fun, and wear something that feels uniquely you. Want more style inspiration and tips?

Winter lets us take the time to look back through some of our favorite albums from 2025! Abby + Jeremy's wedding at Sydalyn Hill was one we truly loved- filters with laughter, tears, and lots of dancing , choreographed and not- congratulations to these two! ⁠ ⁠ Venue: @sydalynhill ⁠ Coordination: @wedding_connection ⁠ Catering: @wylderspace ⁠ Dessert: @paciccookiecompanysantacruz ⁠ Photography: @breanna.rhea.photography ⁠ DJ/Band: @santacruzdjcompany ⁠ Floral: @dahliasanddetails ⁠ Rentals: @alexispartyrental ⁠ Transportation: CLS⁠ HMU: @beautybyxiomara ⁠ Restrooms: @oesluxurymobilerestrooms

We are OBSESSED with the photos from Jennifer and Evan's early fall wedding at River House! They put so much love and effort into their wedding and it truly paid off. They chose to keep their wedding intimate and dine with their guests- no head or sweetheart table, just time spent with their people! ⁠ ⁠ Venue: @thebarnatriverhouse ⁠ Coordination: @wedding_connection ⁠ Catering: Love Creek Catering⁠ Photography: @studioopia ⁠ DJ/Band: @santacruzdjcompany ⁠ Floral: @rosaleadesign ⁠ Bar: Trevor Boynton⁠ Cake: @tartandtin ⁠ Photobooth: @chromaphotobooth ⁠ Rentals: @chiceventrentals ⁠ Transportation: @subshuttleinc ⁠ HMU: @urbanbeautyloft.fiona ⁠ ⁠ ⁠
