Marin Headlands Wedding - Monica & Brandon’s Picturesque Seaside Wedding - Saturday, August 2nd

Monica & Brandon were married on a beautiful clear day at the Marin Headlands Center for the Arts which is a component of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Building itself is quite unique, with its grand high ceilings and artistic feel it makes the perfect setting for rustic intimate wedding with close friends and family. All the vendors we had the pleasure of working with for this joyful event were extremely friendly and at the top of their game. Joel and Cara with Joel Flory Photography are the perfect combination, personable and professional not to mention their photos are stunning. Katie Powers and her team contributed to the evening a whimsical vibe and a truly delicious organic dinner. To end a perfect evening of dancing and laughs guest enjoyed the sinfully sweet cupcakes by That Takes the Cake which gives a new meaning to the phrase “sweet tooth”. As a wedding planner it is always a delight to participate in a couple’s special especially a couple who are genuinely happy and caring people such as Brandon and Monica.

Splendor in Sonoma ~ Heather & Nick Mitchell ~ 06.07.08

Saturday, June 7, 2008 was a magnificent day in Sonoma. The sun was shining as guests arrived for Heather & Nick’s wedding ceremony and reception at the Fairmont - Sonoma Golf Club. Heather’s vision for an elegant black & white splendid wedding was simply perfect. The cake by Kelly Zubal with Inticing Creations was perfect, a four tier white fondant cake with black ribbon trim and iridescent pearls frame, with a black Swarovski crystal “M” cake topper. Heather was an absolutely breathtaking bride who enjoyed every minute of her amazing wedding while Nick was a fun loving and a attentive groom. Every moment of this joyous event was captured by Fima Photography, who did an incredible job, and has to be one our our new favorite photographers! The family and the bride & groom truly appreciated our hard work and made the day fun for us as well! It’s fantastic when we get to work with a bride & groom that make our job that much easier.

Congratulations Heather & Nick!
