A Romantic + Charming Wedding In A Hidden Garden Venue

Welcome back, friends! I’m so excited to share this sneak peek of a charming wedding from this past autumn! You may recognize Karleen + Ryan from their engagement photos that we previously shared on the blog. Their big day finally arrived and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Karleen + Ryan chose one of my favorite spots, Maravilla Gardens, to exchange their vows. (Check out this wedding + this wedding we previously did at MGardens).

I love this space so much because it’s one of the most unique + romantic spaces around the Los Angeles area. It’s a privately owned estate with expansive gardens that are perfect for photos. Laura, of Poppyhill Flowers kept all the floral arrangements soft and neutral with white, light pink and green so as not to distract from the surrounding gardens. Another favorite element of mine was the pergola build that the venue recently added on with string lighting! It all came together for a magical evening!

I hope you enjoy the highlights of Karleen + Ryan’s charming wedding day! Stay tuned for the full wedding album soon! And if you’re interested in planning your big day at MGardens, contact me on my homepage here + let’s chat!

Hi, I'm Kari.
Wedding Planner, Podcaster, & Creative Entrepreneur.

The founder and lead planner behind Feathered Arrow Studio. Over the past 11 years, I’ve designed and executed more than 175 weddings throughout Southern California, helping couples create celebrations that feel deeply personal and beautiful.

My approach blends thoughtful design with genuine hospitality. I care deeply about how a wedding feels not just how it looks. I want every detail to be intentional and every guest to feel taken care of. Together we take your inspiration, your story, and your priorities and turn them into a celebration that feels effortless, welcoming, and unmistakably yours.

Not every couple needs full-service planning, which is why I also offer wedding consults and planning guides for those navigating the process on their own. I’m also the co-host of Just Another Biz Podcast, where we have honest conversations about the wedding industry with fellow creatives behind the scenes.
