The Twenty Mile House Wedding Venue:

The Twenty Mile House in Graeagle, Ca is off the beaten path,  yet it’s the perfect wedding location for couples wanting to tie the knot surrounded by nature in their own private hideaway.   With accommodations for up to 26 overnight guests and three stunning ceremony locations, it’s the perfect venue to plan your weekend wedding retreat.

Elly + Elliot’s wedding was filled with joy, laughter, and music.   Elly’s family is surely the most musically talented family we’ve ever met!  They performed the most amazing song during the ceremony.  Yet it wasn’t just a “song”,  it was a perfectly orchestrated piece with violin, flutes, harp, guitar, drums and more!   Andy and I were both in tears and completely awed by the experience.  They also included some unique and fun elements to their day including a guest procession to the ceremony site, music circle during the reception and more.  Here’s a sneak peek at their wedding celebration.

When Elliot told me they were planning to have the guests parade down to the ceremony site, I wasn’t too sure what to expect or how it would turn out.  It was so fun and beautiful!  When guests arrived at the lawn area, they visited for a while, before the bagpiper led everyone to the ceremony site.  It was pure happiness as everyone proceeded to the ceremony with ribbon wands in hand.  

One of the most loving things we’ve seen during a ceremony.  Elly’s INCREDIBLY  talented family broke out in song and serenaded the couple during the ceremony.  It  was so moving and beautiful.

This beautiful blind dog is the SWEETEST creature I’ve ever met!  She did an incredible job as the ring bearer.  On wedding day this sweet kitten was found abandoned… luckily one of the guests rescued him.
