Sabrina + Ryan - August 2011 - Owls, Nature, Farm theme!


Testimonial from Sabrina and Ryan
August 1, 2011
Falcon Ridge Farms, Harvest Golf Course


Hiring Agatha to be our wedding planner was definitely the best decision we made leading up to our wedding. She was a fantastic resource during the planning stage and instantly gave us years of insight and experience about planning fantastic events. The recommendations and advice she provided were spot on and she help us find the best wedding vendors in the business.

Our wedding was everything we hoped for. It was truly the greatest day of our lives and we were flattered to hear many friends tell us it was the best wedding they had ever attended. Agatha played a huge part in that. She was organized, calm, and helped direct a perfectly executed ceremony and reception. Having Agatha work her magic behind the scenes provided us confidence and peace of mind, so we were able to simply enjoy the day. If we were to ever get married again (which we don't plan to do!!!), we'd definitely hire her again. 
-Sabrina and Ryan



The theme or motif for Sabrina and Ryan's wedding stemmed from a graphic conception of two owls sitting on a tree branch, which appealed to them both.  Keen enthusiasts of the outdoors, camping, hiking and nature, they ran with the theme.  It carried through the day from their Stationary cards, Guest seating cards, Table number cards and all the way through to there cake and favors.    It was so personalized and cute in there chocolate brown and orange color scheme.  The cake was made to look like a tree stump with two owls sitting on it.  The favors were created as his and her owls shaped from sugar cookie dough.








Sabrina and Ryan chose an outdoor ceremony location, Falcon Ridge Farms and their outdoor natural theme carried through with their mason jar centerpieces filled with summer blooms, wheat, grasses and hypericum berries.  This couple put so much thought into this wedding.  The personalizations were extensive and the day was truly there's.  Even the outhouse on the farm had a marvelous poster created by Ryan for the day. Even some of there photos took on a whimsical tone, similar to "Ma and Pa Kettle" on the Farm.   A -4 page program outlined the events of the weekend for guests.  There were arranged Golf tournaments, Wine Tours, Dinner Parties, Beach and Volleyball, a Country BBQ at Bertram Creek Park for rehearsal dinner, with guests invited.  Then after parties and more after parties.



















Comfort of their guests was forefront for this couple.  After the ceremony at the farm, they served Blueberry Echinacea Iced Tea to the guests, with the Echinacea grown on location, along with prepackaged cookies to nibble on.  Shuttle buses transported the guests from location to location, so no one had to worry about drinking and driving.  A fitting location for their reception was the floor to ceiling wood and glass beamed room at the Harvest Golf course.  Guests looked out onto a large pond and waterfall inhabited by ducks and other wildlife.  The 3 day event was an extraordinary party for both the couple and their invited guests.
