White Barn Edna Valley Wedding

"Stephanie and Trevor have known each other for most of their lives; they both grew up showing cows together, as both of their families own dairies. They started dating in high school and tied the knot about 6 years later, after both graduating and beginning work in dairy farming. Trevor proposed by using a silage truck with "MARRY ME" painted in big letters on the side. The couple continued personalization of their wedding by using vintage milk cans for their escort display, and celebrated with family and friends at a rustic barn venue in San Luis Obispo."

How did you choose your wedding venue?
We both went to school at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and fell in love with the area. It was so fun to share with our guests a little part of our favorite place. Also, I always wanted to have a barn wedding and it was the perfect combo of rustic and chic!What were your favorite parts of the day? (memories and stories)
Our favorite parts of the day were getting to our reception and making our way to the dance floor, and getting to enjoy all of our guests! The cherry on top was our ride to downtown San Luis Obispo, where we had Taco Bell waiting for us in our bus from SLO Safe Ride.What was the most important to the two of you while planning? Was there anything that you chose to splurge on or skip?
We definitely had to have a videographer. The day goes so incredibly fast that the best part is to be able to see everything you didn’t get to see! Also, we did want to deck out the barn with draping and flower arrangements on the chandeliers that really brought everything together.Do you have any advice for couples planning their weddings now?
Set your budget beforehand and discuss with all family members...make sure there is room in your venue to fit all your guests, we had 250 and it was perfect, although it could even fit 300! Account for all of the other things that need to fit inside... Good food and filled drinks are really all your guests need!
