STANLY RANCH

Liza, from Northern California, and Joe Max, from North Carolina, brought their worlds together for a wine country wedding in Napa Valley that was as heartfelt as it was joy-filled. They wanted a celebration that felt meaningful and undeniably fun, and they got exactly that.

Set against the stunning backdrop of Napa Valley’s Stanly Ranch, the day was a perfect buzz of love and energy. From the moment reception doors opened, the dance floor was jumping. Stanly Ranch served up fabulous food, a steady stream of dirty martinis, and endless baskets of warm bread with salted whipped butter (Liza’s favorite). The design and florals highlighting Liza’s favorite shade of purple set a beautiful, natural tone, while The Half Moons kept the dance floor packed until the very last dance. 

But the moment everyone will remember? Liza and Joe Max’s choreographed first dance to “Everywhere” by Fleetwood Mac—a joyful, electric start to a celebration no one wanted to end.
