It was such a pleasure hosting Amy and Jeff’s wedding day at Alisal River Terrace! These two had smiles that were beaming ear-to-ear and cast sunshine on everyone at their wedding (including our team)!
Their ceremony was held down at the terrace’s intimate lake with wine country hillside surrounding them, and afterwards, guests adjourned up to the terrace for a lovely cocktail hour and succulent BBQ buffet prepared by Alisal Executive Chef Pascal Gode. After dinner, guests danced under the stars to DJ Scott Topper and enjoyed s’mores in fantastic firebowls and wedding cake made by Alisal’s very own Pastry Chef.
