how to plan your Jeune Perché wedding — tips from a Northern California Wedding Photographer

It is no secret, Jeune Perché holds one of the most stunning backdrops in Southern California. As a Northern California Wedding photographer, having the privilege to travel to Southern California will always be an honor. Just about an hour out from the San Diego Airport Jeune Prerché hosts the most intentional and creative couples.

European Charm in California!

Southern California specifically the San Diego and Temecula area offer the most gorgeous Tuscany vibes. If you’re looking for something that reminds you of Italy or Spain but do not want to travel Jeune Perché is for you. With is charming Chateau, rustic stonework and over 10 acres of land — there’s no question you and your guests will be well taken care of.

How many humans can you host?

Jeune Perché offers space and seating for up to 200 guests. My favorite part of it all? You get to design your wedding exactly how you want. From the planner to florist and so much more. The design is fully in your hands.

Weekday Weddings

This venue has some of the most gorgeous corners, nooks, and locations that I’ve ever seen. Quality is a huge plus at Jeune Perché.

  • weekday weddings are starting at $11,000.00

  • weekend weddings are starting at $24,000.00

This cost includes venue only. Jeune Preché does have a preferred vendor list but it is also extremely important to hire people that cater to you and your partners wants and needs.

Well, there’s a ton. If you’re a hopeless romantic, like me, and adore the charm of older movies based on love and all things weddings… it’s i portent to know you’ll fall in love with every single corner. Jeune Perché will make you feel like you’re in an early 2000’s movie getting married in Europe. That’s all I want for my couples. To feel free, have fun and be the main characters!

The bride and groom suites hold a ton of charm and decent space to host about 5-10 of your most important people while getting ready.

From there you walk into the most gorgeous foyer where a gorgeous piano, some plants and beautiful lighting meet you.

Right outside the suites there is a small courtyard which is perfect for bridal party photos and a hiding spot from guests!

The ceremony area is absolutely stunning.

My favorite part? the rolling hills from the reception area!

What timing is best for golden hour portraits?

This is honestly based on time of year.

Your ceremony should always be priority for good and even lighting. If you’re getting married in the summer, I’d have to recommend:

  • 3pm ceremony

  • 3:30pm 4pm family photos

  • 4pm - 5pm cocktail hour

  • 3:45pm join cocktail hour

  • 5:15pm guests sit for reception

  • 5:20pm grand entrance

  • 5:30pm first dances

  • 6pm dinner

  • 6:30pm speeches

  • 6:45pm couples portraits

  • 7:15pm open dance floor

  • 8pm cake cutting

  • 10pm reception ends

why Jeune Perché?

If you have an intentional vision for your wedding day, why not? This place is full of charm and offers so many different spaces and places for you to cherish. It’s all about what you want and Jeune Perché offers a ton as a base for your wedding day. You can dress up this venue how you want or keep it simple, either way the views have you covered.

As another California wedding photographer with a documentary style, I will probably always offer this venue to the couples that want the elevated feel. I dream if my couples feeling like their wedding is the main event in the world. Nothing matters more than to be present.

Mimi and Brandon

My gorgeous couple met in high school and continues to stay in the honeymoon faze. Their love is so strong. Their attention to detail is extremely special. The love from their family is unbeatable. Most of all, their taste in photography is immaculate;)

With over eight years under my belt and around 100 weddings later I can assure you, I know how to read the room. As a Northern California Wedding Photographer it’s important to know, I’ll travel anywhere in the name of love. Knowing my couples and reading their queues is my specialty. It’s so important to hire someone who knows when to back off or step in!
