pi*vot: to adapt or improve by adjusting or modifying something

The forecast called for minimal rain, very early in the morning. The reality brought us lots of rain. All day long.

Some would have panicked. (ok - we panicked a little) But, in a true display of a calm, collected, up-for-anything attitude, this couple embraced the hand that they were dealt and absolutely made the best of it. We had to make some on the spot adjustments, change our vision, and create a new take on the day that had been planned oh-so-perfectly.

And you know what? WE DID IT. An amazing vendor team came together to do whatever we had to in order to get these two married and enjoy a true celebration of their love. Umbrella carrying friends and family understood the assignment and spent the day completely unbothered by the rain and stayed focused on celebrating the newlyweds. And the bride and groom - the true stars of the day - exuded love and joy and didn’t let ANYTHING get in the way of having THE BEST DAY EVER.

Denise + Travis, words can’t explain how incredibly proud I am. You took a situation that could have paralyzed any of us, and embraced it whole-heartedly. Rain has been a constant factor throughout your love story, so I guess it only makes sense that it forced its way into your wedding day. You’ll forever have quite the story to tell, amazing pictures to look back on, and incredible memories that will last a lifetime. Besides - rain on your wedding day is a sign of good luck…and even though you two didn’t need it…your marriage is now a little *extra* blessed. Thank you for trusting me throughout the process, especially when we had to make some major changes on the day of. It ended up being a magical day and as our first ever fully rainy wedding, it’s one we’ll never forget. October 12, 2024 will forever be a Whiskey Feather Favorite! 🤍

With warm tones and autumnal accents, this breathtaking wedding embraced fall like no other! 🧡

One of California’s oldest wineries was the backdrop for this amazing day, with it’s old-world style, stunning vineyards, medieval touches and delicious wine, of course. 🍷 Perfect fall flowers, pumpkins and dried orange slices carried the feeling of fall throughout the day and wowed all in attendance.

Tributes to those who had passed, including the bride’s beloved father, were sprinkled throughout the day. Emphasizing the love that was, and will be, and ensuring that the importance of family and the bonds that tie us was the underlying theme of the day.

Gorgeous touches included handcrafted signage created by an artist friend and beautiful family photos. A heartfelt ceremony that was officiated by the couple’s close friend kicked off the day of celebration that was complemented perfectly by mouthwatering food that included amazing fried chicken. Lots of laughs, lots of love, and an evening capped off with lots of dancing!

Marissa + Connor, I will forever be grateful to have had the opportunity to play a part in your incredible day. Thank you for including me in your love story and allowing me to help create some of your lifelong memories! October 11, 2024 will forever be a Whiskey Feather Favorite! 🤍

Do you remember, the 21st night of September? 🎶

How could we forget?! It was a truly stunning day from start to finish. A uniquely beautiful vineyard that channeled “wine country meets Bridgerton” was the perfect backdrop for this couple’s start to their Happily Ever After.

Elegant garden party vibes were felt with every perfectly planned detail. Guests were welcomed with refreshments before witnessing heartfelt vows that were officiated by the bride’s best friend. Surrounded by stunning florals, incredible food, an amazing band and lots of laughter and love…it truly was a night to remember.

Oh, and the prettiest flower girl/ring bearer/dog of honor that we ever did see! Lucy stole the show when she carried the rings down the aisle and then patiently sat and watched while her two favorite humans tied the knot. 🐶

Lauren + Mike, it was a true honor to be a part of your incredible day. The love felt by all in attendance was palpable and is the reason we love doing what we do. Thank you for trusting me completely, and Lauren - I already miss our zooms with the famous post-it wedding planning board. 🤣September 21, 2024 will forever be a Whiskey Feather Favorite! 🤍

From the dreams of one little girl, this fairytale wedding was turned into a reality that even Cinderella would have been in awe of. 👰🏻‍♀️

Classic and stunning elegance was woven through this perfect day. The dreamy white tent was accented with beautiful chandeliers, delicate and lush florals, black and white decor with handmade satin ribbon place cards and custom signage. Love and family bonds could be seen and felt by all guests, making this celebration of love one for the books.

Thoughtful touches included a cake centerpiece at each table that allowed the bride + groom to spend a special moment with each group by inviting the longest married couple at each table to cut the cake. Table “names” that signified special places, movies, and activities with a description of its meaning to the couple on the back had the guests mingling with all tables to try to read them all! And loving toasts by the bride + groom’s families and closest friends truly captured the significance of the day.

Kayla + Michael, it was a true honor to be a part of such an incredible celebration. Thank you for trusting me to help bring your dream wedding to life…and Kayla, thank you for matching my A-type organization craziness. 🤣 September 7, 2024 will forever be a Whiskey Feather Favorite! 🤍

Nestled into a wooded mountainside in Sonoma and filled with historic charm, this venue set the tone for a romantic and elegant evening of celebration.

With thoughtful touches that included antique, family owned easels for signage, a beautiful canvas-backed seating chart that was hand-painted by the bride, family-brewed beer made just for the occasion and personalized playing cards to be signed in lieu of a guest book…this wedding had love and emotion woven throughout.

A delicious and beautiful paella buffet was served alongside some of the winery’s best selections…all followed by the locally famous mini donuts that were the perfect ending to a wonderful dining experience. And a dance floor that didn’t stop until the last second of the last song was one of the highlights of the evening.

Mackenzie + Kelin, thank you for placing your trust in me to play a role in your amazing day. You had the vision, and I couldn’t be more honored to have been able to help bring it to life. And we all know I love some wedding day puppy snuggles, so thank you for the cameo from your little guy Bodie! August 30, 2024 will forever be a Whiskey Feather Favorite!

We swoon over neutrals, whites and lights…but sometimes you just need some color! This bride went with a bold and stunning color palette for her fall wedding and it was EVERYTHING.

Unpopular Opinion: run away from your guests at your wedding.

Just kidding! Well, kind of…

Your wedding day is going to be a WHIRLWIND. Filled with unforgettable experiences, core memories, and friends and family that will be with you every step of the way.

It’s SO important for you and your new spouse to take a few minutes alone, to appreciate your day together. This can be done right after your ceremony, during the reception, towards the end of the night, or whenever you can find a few minutes to quietly disappear.

*Pro tip - sneak into a secluded corner of your reception area for a five minutes and just WATCH your guests enjoy the best party that you’ll ever throw!

As many venues are moving away from allowing sparklers, cold spark machines are having their MOMENT, and we’re here for it.

This venue allowed both, which gave this grand exit an extra “WOW.” But if you’re struggling to find a sparkler alternative that will give your photos the GLOW, add these to your must have list! 🤍

The prettiest glass of welcome bubbles we ever did see. 🥂

Guests are always happy to receive a welcome drink, whether it’s water, lemonade, or in this case, sparkling wine. Adding the simple touch of an edible flower floating on top not only looks beautiful, but will WOW your guests when they see the display. ✨

Whiskey Feather x Wine Country

A match made in heaven and we couldn’t be more thankful.

After closing the chapter of our amazing time in Cape Cod, MA and relocating our family and business to NorCal due to Mr. Whiskey Feather’s transfer with the Coast Guard back in 2022, we had to start over in a new market. A daunting task, for sure.

However, 2023 blessed us with amazing couples that have allowed us to grow our Whiskey Feather Family on the West Coast, while seamlessly transitioning operations to a new area, and we couldn’t be happier!

On top of that, the AMAZING vendor community here has welcomed us with open arms, making us truly feel at home.

Here’s to an INCREDIBLE year to come! 2024 is going to be filled with fun, elegance, and some pretty amazing weddings. We’re here for it. 🤍

Fairy tales do come true. ✨
🤍
They fell in love in high school, and fifteen years later, made it official with a private, happy-tear-inducing ceremony. Two families and a group of friends already so intertwined, came together to celebrate these two uniquely special and kind souls who deserved nothing but a day of perfection. And that’s EXACTLY what they got.
🤍
Kicked off with a speech from the bride’s twin sister/Maid of Honor that perfectly told the love story of her two best friends. The beautiful, rustic venue was a magical backdrop for every perfectly planned detail. Neutral accents that would take even the most vibrant-color-advocate’s breath away. Signature drinks named after the family dogs, a delicious charcuterie grazing table, an Instagram-worthy seating chart wall, and custom hand crafted signage. All topped off with a DJ that ROCKED the house, so much so, that we kept the party going for an extra hour. A celebration that each lucky guest will never forget.
🤍
Nicholle + Dylan, thank you for trusting me with such an incredible day. Thank you for showing so many people what true love looks like, and thank you for Bru’s appearance with his dapper bow tie collar. 🐶 October 14, 2023 will forever be a Whiskey Feather Favorite. 🤍
