Dena and Sean were married at Terra Mia Vineyards in wine country of Paso Robles, California. Paso Robles is a hidden gem in terms of California wedding venues. It’s far south of the hustle and bustle and high costs of Napa, and still boasts some of the most beautiful vineyard wedding venues California has to offer. It’s only about 20 minutes away from the beach and is the perfect wedding destination to treat your family to, especially if you are looking to save on overall wedding costs.

Terra Mia is situated around a pond with hige willow trees. Both the reception and ceremony area are next to the pond, across from an idyllic stone bridge. There are separate areas for the ceremony, reception, and cocktail hour making it easy to set up and still keeping everything in earshot of each other. The reception area has a stone barrel room and even it’s own waterfall.

Terra Mia’s best attraction is the miles of gorgeous vineyard and huge oaks trees, giving couple’s the opportunity to stroll and frolic in the sunset for their couple’s photos. It’s always a highlight of the day when couple’s sneak off from their reception with me for some time together just taking in the beauty of their wedding day and having fun, getting romantic and breathtaking photos to treasure in the years to come. When they go back, they continue the party with their guests, making s’mores around the fire pit and cutting cake, throwing a bouquet, dancing the night away.
