The 2016 Black Bride National Brunch Tour is well underway and we couldn't be more excited! The Bridal Brunch is an intimate, luxury, boutique style wedding planning event. The event features leading wedding industry professionals from cities around the United States, and includes a bridal fashion segment, delectable brunch fare, an expert panel discussion, entertainment, and a fabulous gift bag. We kicked off this year's bridal brunch tour in Sonoma Valley for a Wine Country Edition hosted by Chateau St. Jean and Denise Rice of d.Royal Engagements.

We also have to thank the wonderful people at the Chateau St Jean! What an honor to hold an event at such a gorgeous winery. This gorgeous location, which specializes in hosting weddings and other special events, provided the perfect backdrop for our wine country themed brunch. d.Royal Engagements, along with a select group of amazing wedding professionals truly transformed the sprawling green lawn into a beautiful event space.

The weather was absolutely perfect for an outdoor brunch. The Carte Blanche band of Ivy Hill Entertainment kept everyone grooving in their seats along with our Master of Ceremonies and DJ Joe DeBorba of DeBorba Events who played the hottest tunes all afternoon.
