Samantha & Al
A Refined Luxury Wedding IN Rancho Santa Fe, CA
ABOUT THE DAY
Al & Samantha’s wedding weekend at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe was the kind of celebration that reminds you why Southern California is world-class for destination weddings.
Designed flawlessly by Michelle Garibay Events, their two-day experience blended intimacy, elegance, and the kind of effortless joy that guests felt from the moment they arrived.
The weekend began on the Encinitas coastline with a private rehearsal dinner only blocks from the ocean, followed by a relaxed welcome party back at the Inn. An unforgettable way to gather friends and family before the big day.
On the morning of the wedding, Al and Samantha shared private vows in the most serene and intimate way possible, brewing coffee together and exchanging vows on the patio. It was quiet, emotional, and deeply personal… the perfect beginning to a day filled with anticipation.
Their ceremony embraced a minimal yet refined design aesthetic, letting the natural beauty of Rancho Santa Fe do the talking.
As the sun set, the reception unfolded into a breathtaking transformation on the front lawn with a centralized dance floor that kept the energy alive all night. Their first dance was absolutely stunning and impossible to forget. They truly commanded the space and the full dance floor.
The rest of the night was filled with tyler varnell ushering everyone onto the DANCE FLOOR with his sax and dance moves, making sure everyone had the time of their lives. This has to be one of our favorite and most fun weddings of all time and we’d run this back over and over again.
