While you’ve been busy settling back into the school year, the holiday season is quickly approaching. Before we know it, we will be sipping cider, wrapping gifts, and celebrating the most wonderful time of year.
But this year, we challenge you to make it about more than throwing a superb soirée.
(Although, that is pretty important as well.)

Ruhi and Arjun did not plan on having a wedding in an intimate cellar. In fact, they did not plan to have an indoor ceremony at all, but when the rain, and hail, began on what was supposed to be a lovely May day, we had no choice but to improvise.
We quickly worked with our incredible team of vendors to switch things up, ensuring they still had the most lovely day possible (even if it isn’t what any of us had in mind). Thanks to the teamwork and willingness of the vendors, as well as the understanding of the bride and groom, we were able to pull off an absolutely stunning day.

Kirigin Cellars was the perfect location for an early summer wedding.
The flowers of the landscape popped everywhere you turned.
The details of the bride’s look were absolutely perfect.
The groom looked very handsome, as well!
As mentioned, we did not plain to have the ceremony indoors, but when the weather left us no choice, we made it work.
Luckily, Kirigin Cellars has such beautiful indoor spaces to accommodate the last minute change.
We love working with Nicole Ha Designs. Her floral work is always breathtaking.
The wedding party not only looked good, but they were all great when it came to the sudden change of plans.
Is there really anything better than a support group to get you through life’s most precious moments?
We loved all the unique touches to this special day.
We may be biased, but we are totally obsessed with the seating for the reception.
And all the details still have us swooning.
We also absolutely adored the green wall we created with help from Standard Party Rentals & Nicole Ha Design.
Regardless of the last minute changes, everyone had a fabulous time, well into the night.
So remember brides (and grooms): if the plans for your perfect outdoor wedding end up getting rained out, you can still have an absolutely stunning day.
Congratulations once more to Ruhi and Arjun on their marriage. Thank you for trusting the Amazáe Events team on your special day.
And once more, thank you to the wonderful team of vendors who stepped in, and rose to the occasion, when the weather wasn’t what we expected.

While summer may be coming to an end, that also means tourist season is coming to an end. And what better way to celebrate than to head to your favorite spots in the Bay that have been overrun with tourists the last few months?
Here are our favorite spots to spend a dreamy little night away from home (without traveling too far).
1. Carmel Valley Ranch
Complete with trails, lavender fields, a market and restaurant, a spa, tennis courts, 18-hole golf course, and their own apiary, there is truly something for everyone in the family.
2. Fairmont San Jose
Located in the heart of downtown, surrounded by museums, parks, and restaurants the Fairmont of San Jose is an iconic hotel with prime location. Enjoy relaxing on the rooftop pool, or enjoy a cocktail in the lobby bar for an elegant evening.

3. Hotel Valencia Santana Row
Step back in time to old world Spain at Hotel Valencia nestled inside the bustling and luxurious shopping district, Santana Row. Have a poptail (popsicle + cocktail) on the pool deck or indulge in a meal at one of their four dining options. They even offer special packages including tours of the nearby and iconic Winchester Mystery House.

4. Cavallo Point
Head north towards the city, but enjoy a quaint getaway at Cavallo Point. This charming lodge was once a functioning military base protecting the north side of the Golden Gate bridge. Today, you can enjoy a relaxing stay with incredible views.
5. Auberge du Soleil
We know there are endless options in Wine Country but Auberge is truly one of our favorites. Located off the Silverado Trail, you are sure to love this beautiful and relaxing resort and their famous panoramic view of the entire Napa Valley.
Well, are you ready to pack your bags? Let us know where you end up for a staycation this fall!
