Because they wanted to invite a large number of friends and family to their outdoor wedding, Santana and Ryan wanted a venue where guests could stay the night and not have to travel between their ceremony and reception. They ended up finding the perfect place to host their “Wedstock” celebration. When asked about their vision for their wedding, Santana explains, “We’re both huge music lovers (my parents named me after Carlos Santana—so, there should be no shock there) and knew we wanted that to be a big piece of our day.” Since Santana already has a boho and eclectic style, it was easy for the couple to bring their dream wedding to life, along with the perfect items from Burns Special Events. They even incorporated family music with Ryan’s uncle’s band serenading guests during their cocktail hour and Santana’s dad’s band performing at the reception!
Advice from the Couple
"Let go of perfection. It doesn’t exist and if you dwell on the need for it, you’ll surely find yourself disappointed. And before you go to the Pinterest board, decide your budget. Social media can often provide unrealistic expectations for a realistic budget.”
