So, there may be a change in plans...
Hey, what can you do???
So, I'm a little bummed. We are most likely having to change our venue to be local, not down in Southern California. BOO! I lived down there for quite a few years and ABSOLUTELY fell in love with Newport Beach and Huntington Beach. But, unfortunately, since both FH and I and our families and most of my friends live up here in Northern California, my mother and FH have talked me into having the wedding up here. So, now we are searching for a new venue. I really wanted my beach wedding, I guess I could still have one since we live in the San Fran bay area, but I don't like the beaches as much. I think we are going to do the winery route. My friend from hs got married this past October at a winery and it was absolutely beautiful. So my mom and a BM and I are going to go check out some wineries this Sunday (Mike's going to watch our son).

And on that note... Mike is such a good daddy! I love it! He wants to spend every waking moment with that child! You should see him, it's like he's a natural! :o)

It stinks that you aren't going to have your wedding outside, but I think the Murrieta location is gorgeous. But, if you still want to do an outside wedding, then I like Martenelli Event Center, that looks perfect for an outside ceremony! Good luck!

Ours is also being held at Garré, outside of the Martinelli Event Center. I absolutely love the location, and the coordinators are so helpful! I hear Wente is gorgeous too, but since ours was so low key with no reception Wente wasn't willing to work with that. We're very happy with our location and I've had nothing but wonderful interactions with the staff thus far!! Good luck on your search, there's so many beautiful places in Northern California. When we lived in San Jose we were looking at locations there too. There's the Rose Gardens, and Hayes Mansion is absolutely gorgeous. Just throwing those out there too!
