~ STUNNING WEDDINGS IN PASO ROBLES, CA

If you are looking for an outstanding new venue that will make your wedding stand out … check out this astonishing resort in Paso Robles.

There is great travel praise for the beautiful new Allegretto Resort in Paso Robles and you will certainly be impressed by the stunning 171-room Tuscan-inspired design. Everywhere you look the grand open spaces make you want to take some time and explore the place. But peel back just one little layer of this resplendent onion and the depths of something more powerfully intended might knock your chakra socks off.

You may just want to sit for a minute… a lot. The place has a way of nurturing you, especially in your 14 foot-ceiling guest-room with the private patio opening to the grand courtyard. Pops of color at play throughout the resort reorganize into four specific guest-room palettes… mine was aubergine and I sank into its warmth immediately. I found myself peaking out from my sleep just for the pleasure of being with the space and then drifting back to dream.

Drawing upon the ancient ways of landscape and design, every item that has made its way to this gracious resort is part of an instrumental silent symphony, highly vibrational and not in the audible scale.

So what you don’t see or hear, you could easily feel. It’s all at work and play in Allegretto’s diverse co-existence of elements and all for the purpose of creating a higher dimensional category that will elevate the human experience.

Your friends and family will love all the Paso Robles vineyards and the wine tasting opportunities will provide all kinds of fun. Tell them Susan sent you!

Incredible Views and Variety In One Location

Firestone Vineyards in Santa Ynez (Santa Barbara Wine Country) is so uniquely situated and layed-out for the bride and groom who want lots of variety within one location… I just had to write about it.

The First Look took place along side rows and rows of vines giving way to the occasional masterful oak tree…open and unobstructed.  So glad I brought a drone!

The Ceremony, just a 5 minute walk from the main Tasting Room, was on a plateau and overlooked incredible wine country vistas.

Cocktail Hour, beautifully shaded and nestled against the Tasting Room on the upper lawn, has a meandering pathway that welcomed Ceremony guests to some lively libations and lounge style seating.

The Barrel Room for Dinner… wow,  you’ve got to see this Barrel Room to believe it.  The impeccably dressed, singular table must have stretched out 35 yards and was closely flanked by massive stacks of golden hued wine barrels.  The statement of elegance was breathtaking.

Reception in the Courtyard, right around the corner, yet altogether different in its tone and design.  It is totally outdoors yet has an indoor intimacy.  Everyone was enjoying the finger-food desserts and dancing the night away to the sounds of the talented musicians of the “Vanity Fair Band”.
