Ariel & Zach’s Western Wedding on the Family Horse Farm: A Bold, Joy-Filled Weekend in the Heart of New England

Some weddings whisper a love story — Ariel and Zach’s sang it loud and clear. Rooted in love, western spirit, and meaningful family connections, their wedding weekend was a vibrant, stylish celebration set on Ariel’s family-owned horse farm in New England — and every moment felt like pure magic.

Ariel, who runs a ranch out west, and Zach, a custom cowboy hat designer, brought their shared love of land, craft, and community to life in unforgettable ways. From the first welcome drink to the final dance under the stars, this celebration was a true expression of who they are — adventurous, creative, and full of heart.

A Family Farm Turned Dream Venue

The horse farm, owned by Ariel’s family, was transformed into a deeply personal wedding venue — one that blended rustic charm with meaningful design. The family even expanded one of the fields just for the occasion, creating a picture-perfect ceremony site overlooking the pond. It was serene, natural, and strikingly beautiful.

Guests were welcomed with a pre-ceremony cocktail hour (yes, before the vows!) — a brilliant touch that set a relaxed and joyful tone for the day. From there, they made their way to a ceremony under a stunning chuppah framed by golden fields and soft summer light.

Personal Details that Told Their Story

One of the most iconic touches of the weekend? Ariel and Zach’s custom brand, created in collaboration with Impress Me Designs. This brand wasn’t just on the invitations — it echoed through every detail of the weekend: signage, on-site paper goods, and even custom trucker hats gifted to guests. It was stylish, western, and completely them.

The Welcome Party: A Mechanical Bull & Food Truck Fun

Festivities began the night before with a laid-back, high-energy welcome party held in the farm’s indoor riding arena — transformed for the night with string lights, local food trucks, and a mechanical bull that stole the show. It was the perfect way to bring everyone together and set the tone for a weekend of celebration and connection.

Golden Hour Vows & Dancing by the Water

The ceremony was rich with meaning and framed by the soft glow of spring light. Afterward, guests enjoyed another cocktail hour by the pond, soaking up the scenery and each other’s company before heading into the tented reception.

The reception tent, nestled beside the water, lit up the night with warm lights and music. The reflection of the lights on the pond added an extra dose of magic as guests dined, danced, and celebrated under the stars.

A Wedding Full of Soul

What made Ariel and Zach’s wedding truly unforgettable wasn’t just the setting or the style — it was the energy. This was a weekend full of joy, laughter, deep roots, and unfiltered love. Every decision — from the custom design elements to the relaxed flow of events — felt intentional and totally true to them.

Ariel and Zach, Mazel Tov! Your wedding was a celebration of who you are and the life you’re building together — bold, joyful, and entirely your own.
