A Beautiful Wedding at Jacobs Berry Farm | Alicia & Andy
There's something special about a wedding that brings together a beautiful setting, thoughtful details, and a wonderful team of wedding professionals.
We had the pleasure of providing DJ and MC services for Alicia and Andy's wedding at Jacobs Berry Farm in Gardnerville, Nevada.
From their outdoor ceremony beneath a magnificent tree to their reception inside the historic barn, the celebration was filled with beautiful details, memorable moments, and plenty of reasons to celebrate.
We also wanted to take this opportunity to recognize the talented wedding professionals who helped bring everything together.
The Venue: Jacobs Berry Farm
Located in the beautiful Carson Valley in Gardnerville, Nevada, Jacobs Berry Farm is a historic property filled with rustic charm, beautiful gardens, and a fascinating history.
The property's roots date back to 1872, and it later became part of the Lampe Ranch, a working farm that once covered more than 300 acres of Carson Valley. Over the years, the property has been carefully preserved, allowing visitors to experience a little piece of Nevada's agricultural history.
Today, the five-acre property features a historic farmhouse, a century-old barn, beautiful gardens, an orchard, and the Last Chance Saloon. Each area has its own character, creating wonderful settings for wedding ceremonies, celebrations, and photographs.
For Alicia and Andy's wedding, the ceremony took place beneath a magnificent tree, with the surrounding greenery and mountains providing a beautiful backdrop. Guests later gathered inside the rustic barn, where wooden beams, string lights, and beautifully decorated tables created a warm and inviting atmosphere.
One of the things we especially enjoy about Jacobs Berry Farm is how much character the property has. From the historic buildings to the peaceful outdoor surroundings, there are so many beautiful places to explore and photograph.
It's a wonderful example of the history and natural beauty that make Carson Valley such a special place to celebrate a wedding.
The Officiant: Your Memorable Day
The wedding ceremony is one of the most meaningful parts of the celebration, and having an officiant who helps make that moment personal is important.

For Alicia and Andy's wedding, the ceremony took place beneath the property's beautiful tree, surrounded by family and friends.
The couple exchanged vows beneath a floral-decorated arch, and one of our favorite photographs from the day shows the newlyweds sharing a kiss as guests held roses along the aisle.
It's a wonderful reminder of how special those ceremony moments can be.

The Florist: Candlelight & Roses
Flowers bring so much color and personality to a wedding, and Alicia and Andy's celebration was filled with beautiful floral details.
The bridal bouquet featured a beautiful combination of lavender, soft pink, cream, and cheerful yellow sunflowers, surrounded by greenery. The bridesmaids carried coordinating bouquets that complemented their dresses beautifully.
The flowers also added wonderful touches throughout the ceremony and reception, bringing color to the rustic surroundings of Jacobs Berry Farm.
It's always nice to see how floral arrangements can complement a venue's natural beauty while reflecting the couple's personal style.

It's a great example of how food presentation can add another beautiful element to a wedding reception.
