Spring WEDDING in ojai

Chris and Chelito tied the knot in the artsy Southern California enclave of Ojai in front of a large group of their friends and family. Together, we designed a menu that captured the sunny season and emphasized ingredients from local sources, such as Ojai Pixie tangerines, Drake Farms goat cheese, and fresh-baked local spelt bread.

Venue: Ojai Rancho Inn          Guest Count: 175
