Their wedding vision focused on nature and a sense of being surrounded by the elements, with flower arrangements that appeared to grow from the ground and an ambiance set by candlelight and the glow of the full moon. The choice of venue, nestled amidst over 5,000 acres of protected wilderness, was an easy one for the couple as they fell in love with the history and breathtaking views of The Lodge.
Despite the challenges of wedding planning, the couple found support from their team, including Jessica Gonzales of Amethyst Event Productions, who helped them stay grounded and enjoy the process. Creating an unforgettable experience for their guests and hosting an unplugged event were top priorities for Noelle and Amedori, allowing everyone to truly be present and enjoy the celebration without distractions.
The wedding celebrations began with a welcome party at Cornell Wine Co., where guests had the opportunity to share speeches, songs, or poetry during an open mic session. The next day, the emotional ceremony took place, acknowledging the ancestral homelands of the Chumash people. Officiated by a dear friend, the ceremony included personal readings, heartfelt vows, and a Celtic handfasting ceremony to honour their heritage.
Noelle stunned in her Willowby by Watters’ “Persephone” dress, complemented by a beautiful Desert Rose Veil by Rue de Seine. The bride walked down the aisle to the sounds of Electric Light Orchestra’s “Strange Magic”, while Amedori made his entrance to Daniel Johnston’s “True Love Will Find You in the End”. The couple’s shared love for Parenthood was reflected in their exit song, “(They Long To Be) Close to You” by Carpenters.
The reception featured a family-style dinner that promoted a sense of community and togetherness, with a menu that included delicious dishes like butternut squash ravioli, braised short ribs, and butter-poached cod. Specialty cocktails created by Noelle and chef Tiffany Sewell added a personal touch to the celebration, ensuring guests enjoyed unique and tasty drinks.
To end the festivities on a sweet note, the couple treated their guests to an autumn-inspired dessert bar and a three-tier vanilla wedding cake adorned with custom figurines of their beloved pets. The wedding weekend concluded with a brunch before Noelle and Amedori embarked on their honeymoon, looking forward to relaxing on warm beaches and enjoying cocktails with little straw hats.
As they embrace married life, Amedori expresses his excitement to “court [Noelle] forever”, while Noelle is eager to see what they will create together.
