“Ivy”, is derived from an Old English word. Ivy represents fidelity - ancient Greeks gave newlyweds an ivy wreath to symbolize their faithfulness to one another. It also symbolizes eternity and, as if anyone who has ever had the plant climbing a wall of their home, the notion of it sticking around forever feels accurate.

“West” represents our laid back and approachable vibes being that we are based here on the West Coast/Best Coast, and is where our Founding Team grew up. We are blessed with such beautiful outdoor venues here on the West Coast and could not ask for a more beautiful place to celebrate our couples.
