Rev. Blane Ellsworth is an absolute rock-star! He married my wife and me last Thursday, October…read more13th at Hans Fahden Winery, and he did it with the most genuine enthusiasm I've ever encountered. He is at the same time a quintessential professional, while also bringing a level of personalization to the ceremony which left us and our guests feeling as if he's known us all our lives. This was accomplished in part by our pre-wedding counseling sessions at his home in Napa, where he was able to chat with us at length about our personal histories, wants, needs, desires, strengths and shortcomings. By the time we were ready to exchange our vows, Rev. Blane truly did know everything about us. As for his personality, we couldn't have asked for a more likeable, charismatic, humorous, and genuine man to officiate our ceremony. He was the total package, and we received numerous comments to that effect from our guests. I not only think of Rev. Blane Ellsworth as the minister who married us, I think of Blane as a friend. He will forever be a part of us and our marriage, and for that we are extremely grateful.

I highly recommend Wedding Ministries and Rev. Blane if you plan on getting married in Napa…read more Reverend Blane is wonderful! He spent a lot of time talking to us and getting to know us. He even took us to City Hall to help us get our marriage license. We were so pleased with the ceremony as it was personalized specifically to us with the info Rev. Blane gleaned from our meeting. The ceremony was sweet, funny, loving, serious, and entertaining! The Harvest Inn is a beautiful and romantic place, perfect for a wedding! The whole package was better than we could have ever anticipated: the ceremony, flowers, cake, champagne, and hotel. Everything was perfect, we couldn't have asked for a better wedding!

Melody's prices were competitive and in the end, we agreed on a total amount and she made arrangements that would fit that budget. Additionally, Melody provided all of the vases, etc. for the centerpieces and accents and beautifully coordinated ribbons for the bouquets. I also appreciated that she picked up the flowers at the end of the event and delivered them to a local hospital afterwards. I would highly recommend Melody with no reservations!

She TRANSFORMED our venue and created a simply magical scene. From the beginning she was a delight to work with- very sweet and thorough with her intake of information and got us a very detailed proposal with pictures. Her pricing is also more than fair for the fantastic work she produces. Everything she touched was perfect- the bouquets, the table arrangements, everything.... she actually did our rehearsal dinner too and did a fabulous job there as well.

John and Dona made our wedding day truly the best day of our lives. It was absolutely perfect…read more Dona helped us select the perfect venue with patience, as it was hard to decide! We chose the lake property for our ceremony. She spent so much time with me back and forth over email and phone. I sent her a photo of the bouquet I had in mind, and the florist replicated it. It was even more beautiful than the picture I sent! John's ceremony was so sincere, his calm demeanor was wonderful, and he put so much thought into his words. You can tell he really cares and loves doing this. He made it so beautiful and intimate. We instantly felt comfortable around him. The vineyards at the lake property were so beautiful. They were exactly what we had hoped for and exceeded our expectations! Dona's pictures truly capture and reflect the beauty of the day. Everyone we tell about our wedding says "I wish I had done that!" I would do it all over again. If you are looking to elope in wine country and have everything done for you, where you just show up and get married, look no further! She even got my favorite- red velvet cake! :) Loved every moment of this day and wouldn't change a thing. And we were lucky enough to have the perfect October day! Thank you Dona and John for helping make this day one we will cherish for the rest of our lives! -Mandy and Peter

Her staff and the vendors that she recommended worked together to give me what I wanted. My girlfriends who are getting married tell me all the time about how much they loved little parts of my wedding and how they want to incorporate similar styles into their events. I tell them to hire Sasha and her team because she is worth every penny. If I ever host another event like my wedding, I know exactly who to call!
