Spring Wedding

Our daughter’s wedding was April, 2024. From the beginning planning stages through the clean up and goodbyes, Vida Buena Farms was the best experience. Meeting in person several times to discuss logistics, answer questions and share ideas, Rick and Laura’s extensive knowledge and experience was invaluable.

Friday set up was organized and efficient utilizing family and friends as well as Rick, Laura and Shannon. The welcome dinner was held at Hovey Tasting Room in Murphys. With the addition of a taco truck and excellent weather, the experience was a perfect start to a magical weekend that exceeded our expectations.

The wedding day experience from the ceremony by the tree, to drinks/appetizers on the patio and reception in the barn, was seamlessly executed by Rick, Laura and Shannon.

We enthusiastically recommend Vida Buena Farms for your wedding day or any celebration. Rick, Laura and Shannon will provide an experience to remember.

Amazing experience

Our day was more than we could ever imagine and Rick and Laura made it go so smooth and relaxed for us. From start, with setting a date, to the end of our wedding night, they were super helpful and made us feel comfortable and inviting.

Truly amazing people and property!! We met Rick & Laura at a wedding faire in very early 2020 and booked our first visit in March 2020...we pushed our wedding twice for COVID but they were both so easy to get along with, incredibly welcoming and helpful, flexible and understanding. We just got married in October 2022 and it was WELL WORTH the wait.

We met about 4 times before the wedding day and every time Laura gave us more to think about and to decide on- which an awesome wedding coordinator should! They’ve thought of everything you can imagine and it’s been so nice to see all of the upgrades they’ve done (dance floor, pavers, etc.).

The loft is a great place to get ready and it was so amazing for me and my husband were able to sleep there and spend more time soaking in the day.

Rick has built an a beautiful place and Laura’s kitchen skills are *chefs kiss*🔥

They were wonderful to work with and I’m so sad it’s over but so happy with how it turned out!
