JJillian and Spencer kicked off their wedding weekend with a Sonoma welcome dinner. It was equal parts heartfelt and relaxed—a perfect reflection of their personalities and the wine country setting they love. With So Eventful guiding the experience, the evening unfolded across two beautiful locations in Healdsburg.
Toasts & Togetherness at Catelli’s

Wine Country Vibes at Montage Healdsburg
After dinner, the celebration continued at Montage Healdsburg, where guests made their way to a private space for more toasts, drinks, and late-night bites. The atmosphere shifted into a more modern, cozy wine country vibe — candlelight, relaxed lounge seating, and the perfect balance of energy and ease. As the evening unfolded, glasses clinked, more memories were shared, and anticipation for the wedding day built in the most beautiful way.
