Do you find yourself day-dreaming of quiet Tuscan villas, ivy-draped stone walls, and intimate dinners under the open sky? Because I often do. Although I spent time in Rome this year, I long for the opportunity to visit Tuscany one day.
This charming private residence is tucked away in the heart of Longmont, Colorado and it delivers just that — a setting that transports you straight to the rolling hills of Italy. With weathered cobblestone paths, graceful archways, and lush greenery cascading over warm stone.
Because the venue hosts only a limited number of weddings each year, dates book several seasons in advance and it’s easy to see why.
From her very first visit, the bride knew this was where she wanted to say “I do.”
A Ceremony Full of Heart
We had the privilege of walking alongside Julie and Luke during their planning journey. From the moment we met, their warmth and kindness made every step feel natural and collaborative.
As many planners know, you spend a great deal of time with your couples — guiding them through family dynamics, timeline flow, floor plans, and the countless decisions that can feel overwhelming at first. It’s one of the reasons I love what I do: helping couples feel supported, confident, and seen.
Building trust and transparency is at the heart of my approach.
Meaningful + Family-Rooted Traditions
No celebration would be complete without honoring where you come from — and for this couple, that meant incorporating a beloved family tradition: the Pittsburgh cookie table.
Displayed beautifully on wooden shelving, guests were welcomed to enjoy everything from chocolate chip and biscotti to Buckeyes and almond spritz — each made with love from the Bride’s family members. A heartfelt sign invited guests to “eat some now and take some for later,” a nostalgic nod to generations of family gatherings.
Refined Design With A Touch of Pink
The décor was simple yet thoughtful — letting the venue’s Tuscan charm speak for itself. Neutral linens and soft candlelight paired effortlessly with a refined floral palette of pinks, creams, and sage greens.
These delicate pops of color added just the right amount of romance while letting the natural textures of stone, wood, and climbing ivy remain the centerpiece.
Elevated Touches — From Champagne to Ice Cream
Who says elegant can’t also be fun?
A curated champagne wall welcomed guests to toast the newlyweds. Later in the evening, a favorite Denver-based ice cream, Little Man, made an appearance — a playful and refreshing treat that had guests smiling from ear to ear.
Golden-Hour Romance
After dinner, the couple snuck away into the vineyard-lined fields as the sun dipped beneath the mountains. The golden-pink sky made for the dreamiest portraits — quiet, tender, and full of wonder. It felt as though time stood still.
