The Venue: Wine Country meets Rustic Tranquility

Grooms John and Alex hosted their wedding at the enchanting Temecula Creek Inn in Temecula, California. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Southern California’s premier wine country destination, their special day blended modern elegance with rustic charm creating an unforgettable atmosphere for both the grooms and their guests. The Stone House at Temecula Creek Inn provided the perfect backdrop for John and Alex's union, utilizing the warmth and old-world charm of the venue as the jumping-off point for the day’s celebration. Adorned with rustic details and nestled amidst lush greenery, the venue exuded an air of tranquility and enchantment.

The Couple: Custom Suits and Leather Oxfords

Both grooms opted for stylish and timeless blue suits, combined with elegant navy patterned ties and leather oxfords. The grooms each prepared for their big day with their respective wedding parties, and had a private first look–an intimate and romantic moment to kick off the day’s festivities. Afterwards, the couple took advantage of the beautiful natural scenery of Temecula Creek Inn to take some stunning portraits before being shuttled to The Stone House for their ceremony.

The Design: Masculine Meets Modern and Chic

Michelle Garibay of Michelle Garibay Events planned and designed John and Alex’s wedding, taking inspiration from the natural beauty of the venue and pairing it with chic modern accents. The wedding décor was a masterful fusion of modern metallic accents and timeless white florals. This combination perfectly balanced sophistication with a touch of natural beauty. The tables were adorned with delicate white flowers in elegant arrangements, gold-rimmed glassware, and modern white china, creating an inviting atmosphere.

The Ceremony: A Picturesque and Enchanting Experience

The ceremony site was set in a picturesque open meadow surrounded by forest. Guests crossed a bridge over a small creek to get to the ceremony site. The ceremony was made even more enchanting with the accompaniment of a live string quartet, whose melodious tunes set the stage for an emotional and heartfelt exchange of vows. After the ceremony, guests were invited to cocktail hour where they enjoyed custom cocktails, carefully crafted to reflect John and Alex's unique personalities. During cocktail hour, we took the grooms to a secluded spot on the property for some incredible and romantic photos which encapsulated the essence of this unforgettable wedding.

The Reception: Inclusive and Heartfelt

The reception was a joyful affair, with laughter, love, and a dance floor that seemed to never empty. The celebration continued with heartfelt speeches from loved ones, who shared stories and memories that showcased the profound impact John and Alex had on their lives. The love and support that surrounded the couple on their special day truly encapsulated the spirit of inclusivity.

John and Alex's wedding at Temecula Creek Inn was a testament to the power of love. Surrounded by the idyllic charm of The Stone House, the couple's special day flawlessly blended rustic elements with modern elegance. From the white florals and metallic accents to the custom cocktails and live string quartet, every detail was thoughtfully curated to create an atmosphere of love and celebration.
