Candlelight at Pala Mesa

Earlier in June, I coordinated my first event at Pala Mesa. Located in Fallbrook, they have a beautiful ceremony site and our reception was held in an amazing tent. The tent was accented by uplighting, swags of fabric, chinese lanterns and a personalized gobo from Concepts. Jennifer Cole designed all of the flowers and included tons and tons of beautiful candlelight. The bride asked that the back end of the tent be left open so that we could add candlelight to a fountain. It looked magical as the sun set! I was so excited to work with a new amazing photographer, Michael. Congrats to the new family--Eden, Duane and Brooklyn, I wish you guys the best!

A Day of Surprises at the Prado

Yup, I've been a regular here lately. I've been talking to the Prado's catering and sales team about my own parking space, but no such luck yet! It was a romantic and grand day, and we were able to include lots of fun touches. After Keri and Beau kissed, they were suprised with all of their two hundred guests wearing clown noses! Hey, we stuck with the theme.... the clown noses were red:) The Groom also surprised the Bride with reading their first emails, as they met online.A final surprise was the Groom's cake, courtesy of Flour Power. Bob did a great job with playing music for all ages, and it was a treat to work with John, of Aquario Studio again this year. Keri and Beau, congrats and good luck with the big move!

Classic Beauty at The Prado

I've said it once, and I'll say it again, I truly love the Prado. Daphna and Ian got married earlier in June in the gardens and the ballroom, and it was a stunning day! Even planning from afar, no detail was overlooked! The Bride was serenaded by the Groom, and the crowd danced all night long to a band and also a DJ. The day was accented by florals and decor from the ever-amazing Haydee. Mazel Tov and congrats Newlyweds!
