Copied

Charlotte and Mike’s wedding weekend was a masterclass in elegance, intimacy, and unforgettable moments—beginning with an al fresco welcome dinner at their private Italian-inspired estate. Against the glow of a golden sunset, the couple gathered their closest friends and family for a night of incredible food, heartfelt toasts, and a warm, joyful atmosphere that set the tone for the celebration ahead.

The wedding day unfolded at the breathtaking Filoli Gardens, an iconic Bay Area estate renowned for its historic architecture and lush, manicured grounds. CMG Weddings & Events orchestrated every detail of this luxury garden wedding at Filoli Gardens, ensuring the day felt as elevated as it was personal. Guests were greeted by refined, romantic floral artistry and luxury production from Flowers by Edgar, creating a setting where nature’s beauty met high design.

The day’s signature wow moment came during the poolside reception, where a crisp, all-white design offered a striking contrast to the surrounding gardens. Guests dined and celebrated in style as 20 live musicians from the Jordan Kahn Orchestra filled the air with nonstop energy, their performance seamlessly transitioning from sophisticated dinner music to dance-worthy anthems.

As evening fell, the magic deepened under twinkling lights designed by Got Light. The reception space featured stylish rentals from Theoni Rentals, and a custom stage and dance floor from Standard Event Rentals kept guests on their feet well into the night. A decadent menu from Red Door Catering showcased seasonal flavors and impeccable presentation, ending on a sweet note with desserts from Susiecakes.

The celebration concluded with a high-energy after party, where Second Song’s DJ kept the crowd dancing until the early hours. Through it all, photographer Stephanie Lynn captured every emotion—every laugh, tear, and toast—ensuring the memories of this luxury garden wedding at Filoli Gardens will be treasured for a lifetime.
