This Ranch Style wedding was made even more perfect because it was our owner, Vicki Hamilton’s son Jon’s special day. A “Crown Point Family” event to say the least. You could see that both Jon & Eliza’s personalities & sense of style were integrated into all the special details. The destination a VERY special place, The Mountain Meadow Resort located at the heart of the Trinty Forest, tucked high in the California Mountains, almost 14 hours from San Diego. And the same place that Jon, the groom, proposed just one year earlier.
Although we all feel part of the Hamilton family, it was still an honor for the staff of Crown Point to not only be able to attend this amazing wedding but to have also fully catered and organized the event, including transportation of tables, chairs, linens and china. The wedding menu was elegantly rustic and the guests celebrated the night away high on LOVE and with full bellies of herb stuffed tomatoes, panzanella salad, kale & brussels 
sprouts salad, stuffed chicken thighs & gnocchi.
We couldn’t of pulled it off or have gotten such gorgeous photos if it wasn’t for Event Party Rentals, A Perfect Table & Kristin Giordano Photography
