Ceremony & Reception: Montage Healdsburg

The happy couple wrote and recited their own heartfelt vows.

THE COUPLE Both CPAs, Ellie Bostron and Brian Redmond first met while working at Ernst & Young, or as the couple lovingly call it, “EY Harmony.” The duo was on the same project, working together in a tiny audit room for up to 14 hours daily. Eventually, Brian bit the bullet and asked Ellie on a date, and it’s been smooth sailing ever since. Four years later, the groom spontaneously visited his father in Laguna Beach, driving back with a ring in his pocket and proposing at home to an enthusiastic “Yes!”

The transformed Grand Lawn at Montage Healdsburg hosted a stunning reception.

THE PARTY The couple love wine, so a destination wedding in wine country was a no-brainer. Ellie and Brian opted for a nontraditional celebration, opting out of the bouquet toss and bridal party introductions in favor of more quality time with their guests (including their two beloved Goldendoodles). The couple’s first dance, a choreographed number to Diplo and MØ’s hit song “Get It Right,” was a highlight of the reception. “We took 10 private dance lessons to practice for this and had so much fun,” Ellie divulges. “Our dance teachers still say we had the most unique first dance request yet.”

THE HONEYMOON After a fun-filled destination wedding, the newlyweds took a week to decompress before jetting off to Bora Bora. Their Four Seasons overwater bungalow came complete with a private jacuzzi, allowing for plenty of well-deserved rest and relaxation for the happy couple.
