Where do we even begin with this joyful duo and their incredible group of people? Adam–– a plane pilot, a boat captain, a motorcycle rider, and more –– and Kaitlyn --who exudes a dose of such genuine sweetness and elegance -- hosted their wedding weekend at the Goff’s Retreat Center at The Oaks in Ramona, CA. Not only did they have their wedding there, complete with a Ferris wheel, horseback grand entrance, confetti cannons, and Jeep exit, but they also graciously hosted dozens of their guests on-site. Make sure to keep scrolling to see all of the incredible photos of their big day, including florals by Quite Frankly Creative and charcuterie cups by Pic & Boards, all planned by Lauren Weidley Events.
Adam and his groomsmen kicked off the morning with a little horseback riding and an ATV adventure around the property. They rode down to the stables and through the namesake oaks. Kaitlyn took it easy with her ladies. Adam and Kaitlyn really did what felt right and made the day full of the maximum fun, regardless of tradition. They spent lunch together before their first look, because why wouldn’t they want to spend as much of their wedding day together as possible? After their first look, they took an ATV back down to the beautiful stables for some peace before the party. And party they did!
After a gorgeous, emotional ceremony surrounded by their most loved and a confetti cannon ceremony exit, the guests headed further down the property for a big reveal –– the Ferris wheel reception! And this Ferris wheel (courtesy of Zebra Entertainment) wasn't just decorative - every guest had the option to ride it! Everyone got down on the tireless dance floors under the neon lights well into the late hours. And in classic Goff fashion, Adam and Kaitlyn made their grand exit through a sparkler tunnel in an open Jeep. These two are icons of joy, flair, adventure, community, and inclusiveness. If this is just day one, just imagine how beautiful the life they’re going to build together will become.
Adam and Kaitlyn's MVP's (Most Valuable Pieces - of advice!):
1. Attend your cocktail hour! You can still dip out early and make an epic grand entrance.
2. Setting a chunk of time to take photos beforehand will allow you to spend maximum time having fun with the people you love, and you'll be able to enjoy the delicious food and drinks you paid for.
3. You don’t have to follow the tradition of not seeing each other before the first look. It won’t make the first look any less special - it can actually ease any anxieties, and you’ll be grateful to have gotten to spend even more of your wedding day together.
4. No idea is too big! Don’t automatically write off a dream idea because it seems too out there or because you haven’t seen it at other weddings. Where there’s a will, there’s a Ferris wheel.
