A Glen Ellen Wine-Country Wedding With an Oyster Bar
Camille & AeSeptember 2023Songbird Parlour · Sonoma
Camille and Ae's glen ellen wine-country wedding with an oyster bar was 44 guests at Songbird Parlour in September 2023, a harvest-season celebration built around a raw bar, a wine-mixing ritual, and a playlist that ran from Fleetwood Mac to the Arctic Monkeys.
They got ready apart and met for a first look, said personal vows to each other before the ceremony, and let the evening stretch from the oyster bar through toasts, cake, and a money dance. A Glen Ellen fall wedding that stayed small enough to let every piece of it feel like theirs.

Morning
Getting Ready Apart for the Glen Ellen Fall Wedding
Camille got ready with her sister in the bridal suite, hair and makeup done there, while Ae got ready at the lodge down the road. They'd decided not to see each other until the first look, so the morning stayed calm on both sides, the dress going on, the cake topper the couple had brought themselves waiting to be set out.
Ae arrived at the parlour in the afternoon, and the two of them did their first look and read personal vows to each other before any of the guests were in their seats.
Afternoon
A Wine-Country Ceremony With a Wine-Mixing Ritual
The wedding party came in to 'Here Comes the Sun,' and Camille walked in on her father's arm to Kina Grannis's 'Stand by Me.' Lili Freitas officiated. A friend stood up and read a passage of Bob Marley, and midway through the ceremony Camille and Ae poured two wines into one glass, a small ritual for a harvest-season wine-country day, poured while everyone watched.
They recessed to Fleetwood Mac's 'Everywhere,' married.
