Classic Clos LaChance Wedding


Hanieh and Brandon’s Clos LaChance wedding was absolutely beautiful! Every detail, from the wedding dress to the florals, was chic and timeless with a touch of Italian inspiration. They included their two sweet pups during the ceremony, had a gorgeous “love at first spritz” seating chart with an Aperol spritz for each guest, and kicked off the dance floor with a traditional Persian dance performance in honor of Hanieh’s culture.

Reflecting on their photos, it’s so clear to see they cared deeply about the beauty of the day. They had white florals, a string quartet at ceremony, and even a gelato cart to delight their guests during reception! And even more importantly, you can see the pure joy and fun they had all day long. Hanieh’s bridesmaids surprised her with a custom album and sweet letters, while Brandon surprised his groomsmen with custom bobbleheads in their honor.

And lastly, the relationship Hanieh had with her mother was so special. I loved how unique it was that her mom gave her away and also shared the first dance with her. Their day incorporated some traditions while also infusing their own love story throughout. 

Timeless Bay Area Wedding Venue: Clos LaChance

Despite being only 20 miles from the Bay Area, the beauty of Clos LaChance is it feels completely remote. It’s surrounded by beautiful vineyards and feels as though you’ve escaped to the Italian country side. If you’re looking for a convenient Northern California location that gives the feeling of being whisked away to the vineyard countryside, this is the perfect venue for you!
