ANIKA + JOSH

Tocal Homestead.

Anika and Josh held their wedding at Tocal Homestead. “We wanted our wedding venue to be close to home, but felt like we were far away at the same time. We loved the rustic, old charm that Tocal Homestead offers. So much history with a beautiful backdrop.”

CEREMONY
“Having our two little girls involved in our ceremony was very important to us. There wasn’t a dry eye on the Homestead lawn after they started walking down the aisle. One of our close friends’ parents was able to marry us – which was very special.

Our ceremony was very personal and included our own vows. We had so many close people involved in all aspects of our ceremony and it was perfect. We can’t think of another day in our lives when we have been surrounded by so many people we love and who love us the most.”

RECEPTION
“Keeping in style with the rustic venue, we chose simple neutrals/browns/oranges. We purchased preserved flowers, glassware and candles which we knew we would be able to reuse and style at home. 

We chose a cocktail style reception so our guests could mingle and celebrate. We could not have enjoyed the night more than we did. Sprout Catering were absolutely amazing. The staff were beyond helpful and thoughtful. We would not have been able to have such a smooth running day if it wasn’t for the behind the scenes staff onsite.”

DETAILS
“I was a ballet dancer growing up so it only seemed fitting to change into a fun tutu inspired dress for the reception. All the pieces I wore, I hope I can one day pass on to my two girls for their wedding day.”
