Elise and Natasha gathered 67 people at Boon Hotel + Spa for a compact Russian River wedding with a first look, a private ketubah signing, an outdoor ceremony, a family-style dinner, and dancing after sunset portraits on the road.
A first look and ketubah signing at the hotel
They shared their first look and completed family photographs before gathering privately in the King Suite for the ketubah signing. With every part close by, the afternoon moved without extra transportation.
An outdoor ceremony and relaxed cocktail party
The 4:00 ceremony took place in the garden. Guests stayed outside for cocktails before sitting down to a family-style meal, toasts, and a bread, salt, and vodka welcome.
Polonez, hora, cake, and portraits at sunset
The evening mixed both families' traditions with a Polonez and the hora. Elise and Natasha stepped onto the nearby road for a short sunset portrait session, then came back for cake and dancing.
