A Dipsea Gardens Wedding Overlooking Stinson Beach

Ben and Norah had a beautiful garden wedding overlooking the ocean at Dipsea Gardens in Stinson Beach. We lucked out with a nice warm sunny day after the clouds broke mid-morning. Their wedding celebrated their heritages with a mix of Mexican and Jewish traditions in both their ceremony and reception. They had a fun filled wedding that ended with friends and family gathered around the fire pit making s'mores as the sun went down.

The Ceremony

I helped the beautiful bride with her long veil as she started down the aisle with her Mom at her side

During the ceremony, the wedding party held up the chuppah, a Jewish wedding tradition. The couple also broke a glass at the end of their ceremony, another Jewish tradition. After they broke the glass, guests shouted either "Mazel Tov!" per Jewish tradition or "Felicidades!" per Mexican tradition to congratulate the couple on their marriage.

The ceremony also featured an important Mexican wedding ritual where the groom places 13 coins into his bride's hand as a symbol of love and complete trust. The bride and groom also had "el lazo" or a wedding lasso placed around them during the ceremony to join them together in the shape of infinity, a symbol of two souls united.

The bride and groom kicked off the reception with a grand entrance followed by their first dance

The bride's cousin performed "Can't Help Falling in Love" on acoustic guitar

After dinner the bride and groom played the shoe game and then got the dance floor started with the Hora dance. Guests lifted them in chairs and danced around them in a circle while "Hava Nagila" played.

Both Ben and Norah love In N Out, so they incorporated that into their wedding with this awesome In N Out themed cake topper. The cake topper bride and groom are both wearing In N Out hats!

Mazel Tov, Felicidades, and Congratulations to the bride and groom!

Dipsea Gardens Wedding Info

Dipsea Gardens is a wedding venue in Stinson Beach. It gives you the best of two worlds with a beautiful garden overlooking the ocean. If you want to do beach photos or even a beach ceremony, Dipsea Gardens is within walking distance to Stinson Beach. The venue doesn't have a lot of space, so it's better for a smaller wedding of under 100 guests (this wedding had ~60). It's can also be a bit challenging for older or less able guests as it's very hilly.
