When it comes to choosing the perfect location, you could just call yourself lucky when two gorgeous Hollywood hills backyards are available. Especially when one is your childhood home with the treehouse you grew up playing in.

Adam and Deborah had the dream scenario. They had already decided they wanted to get married in the backyard, a big full lawn with an incredible old tree holding Deb’s childhood treehouse. When word traveled that the neighbors would be out of town the weekend of the wedding, they jumped on the opportunity. They asked the neighbors if they could use the backyard for their reception, and they said yes!!

The neighbor’s backyard was equally as gorgeous surrounded by overgrown flower hedges and big oak trees. it was a literal secret garden and Deborah used that to her advantage when planning out the reception space. Tea lights in the trees, butterflies hanging from branches and limbs, large brass lanterns in the corners, and beautiful filagree china for the place settings. It was whimsical and full of secret garden vibes the entire evening.

It was an incredible night filled with constant celebration and laughter. Easily my favorite wedding all year…well….so far anyway.
