“We started planning our wedding for September of 2021. The COVID pandemic played its hand, and we postponed our wedding for 2022,” Shawna and Lucas share in the Real Weddings story. “With the change of dates, it gave us a long engagement, which led to a long time to plan our wedding. We had so much support between the venue, and our family.”
Let’s explore the beautiful moments of their wedding day and the unique atmosphere created among the vineyards. In their story, Real Weddings Magazine follows this fun couple from wedding day preparations in the Rough and Ready Guesthouse to the last dance on our custom outdoor dance floor.
Lucas and Shawna’s Wedding Day
Shawna and Lucas’ rustic yet elegant wedding style seamlessly blended with the natural beauty of our vineyard setting. It created a picturesque backdrop for their love-filled celebration.
When asked what the best part of their special day was, Lucas and Shawna shared, “We had a last dance that was just the two of us, while our guests were preparing for the exit. At this point in the day, it finally sunk in that we had actually gotten married. We had the entire song to soak up the night and had time for just us two!”

Advice to Couples
