Stanly Ranch Wedding » Napa, California

Alijia and Micajah's wedding at Stanly Ranch in Napa was a true destination celebration, bringing together loved ones from Washington and Peru to honor both their love of wine country and Micajah's rich Peruvian heritage. The festivities began with an outdoor welcome party cocktail hour where friends shared heartfelt toasts before settling in for bonfire chats under the stars, setting the stage for an unforgettable weekend. On the wedding day, Alijia got ready in the elegant Bell Suite surrounded by her closest friends, then shared a tender first look with Micajah outside the Garden House before their ceremony. Their bilingual ceremony was a beautiful reflection of their blended cultures, officiated by Alijia's sister and the couple's good friend who took turns translating the vows from English to Spanish, ensuring every guest could feel the depth of their promises. The grand reception in the Glasshouse brought the celebration to new heights, with Mariachi Estelar filling the space with festive energy while Stanly Ranch delighted guests with a farm-to-table gourmet meal showcasing the best of wine country. The evening's most memorable moment came when Micajah surprised everyone by joining his aunt and the mariachi band in serenading the crowd with a traditional folk song, bringing many to tears. The vibrant celebration continued with an epic dance party that carried on well into the early hours of the next morning, proving that when two cultures and two hearts come together, the result is pure magic.
