Sachs:Hill Wedding

AnneMarie & Adam had come to us with an idea of incorporating paisley into their wedding. We were able to design their entire event around a swatch of paisley fabric that they had purchased online. The aisle runner, table runners, belly bar sashes, pillows, invitations, stationary, and the cake were all made with a paisley design. This wedding was not only beautiful but unique and personalized to compliment the couple's non-traditional style. Their wedding party was another example of their unconventional ways because it wasn't just broken down into bridesmaids and groomsmen, they also had bridesmen and grooms women. This group was definitely a fun crowd and continued their party with bottle service at Prospect Bar & Lounge.

Huynh:Welch Wedding

I have been extremely lucky to have worked with the sweetest couples this year. Ailien and Drake were certainly no exception considering the fact that I was tearful when their wedding day passed. Logistically, this was a jam packed day filled with several wardrobe changes, hair & make-up touch-ups, and different venues throughout San Diego. Visually, this was one of the most beautiful and stunning events we've done this year. Every vendor really came together for this wedding to make it a spectacular day for Ailien & Drake.

The first event was a traditional Vietnamese Tea Ceremony in Mira Mesa. The couple wore traditional outfits with head pieces that were custom made and absolutely beautiful. Next, the church ceremony was held at St. Therese of Carmel which has an amazing view of Carmel Valley. The cocktail hour that followed was on the Windsor Lawn of the Hotel Del Coronado where guests were greeted with tray passed hors d'oeuvres and beverages. Finally, the reception was held in the Hotel Del's Grand Ballroom. The guests entered the historic room and were in awe by the amazing centerpieces, warm blue lighting, and the A&D monogram that made its way onto every little detail of the wedding. Lucky bamboo favors were lined up at the door which doubled as escort cards. Needless to say, the 3-course meal, seafood station, and sushi bar were a huge hit. The fun began with a live 5-piece band, The Antix, and continued throughout the night by the DJ expertise of Pro Motion Entertainment. This was definitely a night to remember and best of all...Drake & Ailien could not have asked for a more perfect day!

Limon:Guillen Wedding

What a beautiful day it was for a wedding on the San Diego Bay. I had the great fortune of providing the musical entertainment for Lisa and Jorge Guillen at the Dana in Mission Beach. Their storybook day began with an intimate ceremony by the waterside and ended with some Latin music on the dance floor. The guests were having a great time throughout the evening listening to the sounds of Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Etta James all mixed in with some Flamenco.

We also had a surprise fire twirling performance from the maid of honor. I don't know if that was against the fire code or not but it sure heated things up!
