Sarah and Jarrod gathered 53 guests at Pacheco Ranch Winery for an entirely on-site celebration: preparations in the bridal suite, a first look, a ceremony by the waterfall, cocktails near the bridge, a paella dinner, sunset portraits, and dancing beneath the lights.
Preparations and family photographs on the ranch
Both sides prepared on the property and met for a first look at 3:15. Wedding-party and family photographs were complete before the shuttle arrived, leaving the evening open for guests.
A waterfall ceremony and cocktails by the bridge
The ceremony began at 5:30 near the ranch waterfall. Guests moved a short distance toward the bridge for cocktails while Sarah and Jarrod took a private twenty-minute pause after the ceremony.
Paella, sunset photographs, and an outdoor party
A family-style paella dinner opened at 7:20. Sarah and Jarrod stepped away briefly for sunset portraits, then returned for toasts, their first dance, cake, the photo booth, and a full outdoor dance floor.
