Private Estate Ojai Oasis Wedding for Erika & Kyler

Just a 20 minute drive up into the mountains of Ventura is the world-renowned picturesque village of Ojai. Known for “pink moment” sunsets (referring to the mountains which change color at sunset and surround the town in a glow), ranches, orchards and more, Ojai boasts many of our favorite wedding locations. Erika and Kyler were fortunate enough to be able to celebrate their nuptials at a private estate, affording beautiful views and a tranquil oasis from the world with family and friends. And here’s a little fun fact about Ojai that the couple tied into their wedding as a unique touch: Ojai is famous for “pixie tangerines”, which account for less than 1% of California’s tangerines. They are seedless deliciousness and are easy to peel. We love that Erika and Kyler offered pixie tangerines as escort cards for guests, which also doubled as guest favors!
