Nicole and Louis’s Olympia’s Valley Wedding with a Miami-Inspired Twist

‘Nicole and Louis’s Olympia’s Valley wedding was the perfect blend of laid-back California charm and bold, modern style. Set at the iconic Olympia’s Valley Estate in Sonoma County, their barn wedding celebrated both their personalities and cultural roots in a way that felt effortlessly unique.

The ceremony took place beside the estate’s willow trees and tranquil pond, creating a serene start to the celebration. Guests were then surprised with a lively New Orleans-style second line, leading them to the Victorian mansion for cocktail hour. It was a feast of local favorites, including Hog Island oysters, a bountiful charcuterie display, and made-to-order brick oven pizza.

Dinner reflected a California coastal vibe, with light, neutral florals and a soft color palette that enhanced the relaxed atmosphere. As an Olympia’s Valley wedding, the barn provided the perfect rustic canvas for what came next—an unexpected Miami-inspired nightclub experience. The space came alive with a bold Havana Nights palette, disco balls, and lush greenery overhead, with Vybe Society keeping the dance floor full all night.

To end the evening, guests were treated to espresso drinks from a Vespa cart and sweet treats from SF Hometown Creamery. It was a true reflection of Sonoma County hospitality and vibrant design, making this Olympia’s Valley wedding one of the most memorable events of the year.
