Ryan and Julie met at a party while attending UCSB back in 2011. They had a mutual friend, Khiem Tran, who introduced them and they instantly hit it off. Soon afterwards, Julie asked Ryan to one of her Alpha Phi sorority date parties. Ryan was snowboarding in Mammoth when he got the invitation. Miraculously, he convinced all his friends to head back to UCSB early so he could make the party. Ryan channeled his inner Lightning McQueen and raced home just in time, and from there it was history! Ryan loved how easily Julie meshed into the McQueen family from day 1. Ryan also loves Julie’s vivacious personality and passion. Ryan asked for Julie’s hand in marriage on a NYE group trip up to Sonoma with all of Ryan’s college roommates (12 of them and their dates). Ryan had a little help from two of his buddies, and they planned a private tour at Buena Vista Winery. During the tour of the winery, Julie and Ryan went into the barrel room where Ryan dropped a knee in front of everyone and popped the question. Julie of course said “yes.” These two are looking forward to a life filled with traveling, going to the beach, and hanging out with good friends and beer! You can’t forget the beer! Green Gables was the perfect fit to host their big day! Ryan’s Mom went to a wedding at Green Gables and fell in love! She had to show Julie! Julie and Ryan both loved it, they also like the fact that Green Gables staff takes care of all the small details and are very organized- not to mention the property is beautiful!

We loved working at the beautiful Green Gables Estate!! Here is what another bride thought!
“IF YOU ARE DECIDING ON A VENUE FOR YOUR WEDDING..THIS PLACE IS WORTH IT…PLEASE READ..
I recently got married at this beautiful wedding venue and so happy that i chose this place. I fell in love the minute i stepped into their garden. Definitely was not expecting a beautiful surprise. They are reasonably priced compared to any other venue and trust me i have done my fair share of research. I live in L.A. and is well worth the short drive out here. They are strictly a wedding venue so the staff won’t disappoint as they are very knowledgeable. If you like the Vintage garden feel this is your place and look no further. You have the entire place set up from outdoor ceremony, tented reception area, decorations, to REAL bathrooms. And did i mention bride and groom suites? Old schoolhouse is another special treat and don’t want to spoil what they have in store for bride’s arrival. They have their own caterer and food is great!! Every other vendor you will have to find, but all their recommendations in their Bridal Notebook..yes bridal notebook will have it all. Organization is something they will definitely help you with..no need to hire an outside coordinator.. I did everything myself with much help from Melissa, one of their own at Green Gables.
All my guests could not stop talking about this beautiful venue. Melissa was such a pleasure to work with! Very patient, detailed, organized and everything u want in a coordinator. But, all staff here at Green Gables are exceptional as they do their best on customer service. Also, another staff member by my side on day of, Torie who absolutely kept me hydrated and taken care of the whole day of my wedding.
I wish i can say more…this place you just have to visit. I wouldn’t rant about this place if I felt like I wasted my time and money.. Definitely will not be disappointed…well worth money spent. So much more, you have to just see for yourself..PROMISE!!”
