Posted In ceremony destination wedding ranch wedding venue Wedding wedding reception Wedding Venue/ Notes » 0

On our recent trip to Colorado, we had the opportunity to do a site visit at Devil’s Thumb Ranch Resort & Spa which is located in Tabernash, a short drive from Denver. This venue is ideal for brides who want a destination wedding and an outdoor ranch style wedding. You really can’t find anything like this in a big city. The view was just stunning no matter where you look.

Reception Options:

High Lonesome Ranch

Axel’s Pavilion is perfect for those who want an outdoor event. In the winter time, this actually turns into a skating rink.

On Saturday, December 19th, we were invited to celebrate the Holidays at Hummingbird Nest Ranch in Simi Valley.

The event started with some wine tasting from Kieu Hoang Winery and appetizers from Lee’s Sandwiches and Smokin’ Steve’s Pit BBQ Catering. The guests were then invited to proceed to Grand Prix to witness a processional of 100 couples who will be getting married at the Hummingbird Estate, a marching band, four horses, horse carriage and 6 helicopters.

After the procession, guests proceeded to The Barn where the dinner and live entertainment were taking place.

The dinner featured 20 main courses starting with beef and chicken kabobs from Masrour Catering followed by sushi, Kobe beef and Santa Barbara Prawn from Q Sushi. We also tasted amazing fried crawfish, crawfish etouffee, gumbo and crawfish Egg Rolls from World Famous Noel Abbeville Farm. After all this, we got lamb chops, Okinawa Purple Sweet Potato and Heirloom Carrots from Command Performance Catering. The evening ended with a fashion show, cake cutting as well as live band performances.

We certainly had a great time and we thank the owner Kieu Hoang for the generous invitation to celebrate at the beautiful Hummingbird Nest Ranch.

Avalon Hotel Palm Springs

Posted In ceremony venue Wedding Wedding Planning wedding reception Wedding Venue/ Notes » 0

We recently did a site visit to Avalon Hotel Palm Springs. It is a very chic and boutique style venue. If you like modern and chic then this venue is for you. There’s a total of 67 guest rooms, some with a terrace or private patio. There are 13 historic one and two bedroom villas with full kitchens.

There are 3 pools – 1 family pool and 2 adult only.

One of our personal favorites was the Presidio Courtyard for a wedding reception under the stars. Since Palm Springs has a noise restraint, there’s the option of holding your after party in the Presidio Ballroom.

We loved the Avalon Hotel and we hope you will too.
