Berkeley Country Club Wedding » El Cerrito, California

Crysline and Cody's wedding at Berkeley Country Club in El Cerrito was a celebration built on what matters most to them: the people they love and making sure everyone felt it. The couple, who met as coworkers in 2019 and built a friendship that gradually became love, approached their wedding day the same way they do everything—side by side. They got ready together at home with their wedding party while a friend DJ'd, setting a joyful, relaxed tone from the very start. The ceremony took place at Berkeley Country Club in El Cerrito overlooking the San Francisco Bay, where they met, lived, and bought their first home together with Crysline's oldest brother officiating in a deeply personal tribute to family. During cocktail hour, live poets from Ars Poetica crafted bespoke poems on typewriters for guests—printed on the couple's branded stationery—reinforcing their belief that the best celebrations aren't about how things look, but how people feel. The couple's most memorable touch came at dinner: personalized letters to every single guest, printed on the custom C&C monogram stationery and placed at each seat, resulting in guests opening envelopes, tearing up, laughing, and trading letters throughout the night. Guests enjoyed their dinner reception in the grand ballroom beneath vaulted timber-beam ceilings and iron chandeliers, with intentionally simple white and green florals that let the architecture shine. As the sunset, the party got going with the dancefloor packed with friends and family. Cody and Crysline's wedding proved that when you start with a clear vision—in their case, celebrating with loved ones and making sure everyone felt seen—and make every decision flow from that, you create something that feels less like a wedding and more like the best party you've ever thrown.
