Saturday was steeped in ceremony. The day commenced with his and her cacao ceremonies, an ancient ritual meant to open hearts and encourage communal connection before the sharing of “I dos.” Then everyone took time to reflect and get ready for the most organic and captivating ceremony held on a spring-fed creek.

Friends turned family, Jaya and Hayley, jetset from Guatemala to officiate the traditional ceremony. Hayley’s ethereal voice rang through the forest and carried B down the path and into the water to meet her groom, where they could be connected to the pure energy of the land.

We weaved traditional wedding practices with non-traditional elements, including a rose ceremony, during which B anointed Robin with a flower dipped in spring water, and the groom’s smoke ceremony, to signify and celebrate new beginnings and bring about positive energy. To conclude the union, Robin surprised B with a feather to honor her Apache heritage.

As B + Robin emerged from the creek, guests lined the pathways to present precious crystals and bless the newlyweds before gathering at the sacred fire location for a rhythmic drum circle.

Every magical moment was a dedication to B + Robin and their unique love story.

After B+Robin tied the knot, it was time for the next act. If music is the language of love, then a festival-inspired wedding weekend is the ultimate celebration. The reception was celebration of all that is important – life, people, nature, food, music and passion.
