On our first visit for their wedding at the Bougainvillea Estate, I was totally in love! When you arrive, a large gate opens up to this beautiful, very long, tree-lined driveway with green grass on either side that leads to a beautiful courtyard with a fountain in the middle. To right is a large pond that is landscaped beautifully off the front patio area where the guests would make their way after the ceremony for cocktail hour. And the best part…. the beautiful pool with wraparound seating for the reception space! It couldn’t be more perfect! With market lights and tons of space, their 180 guests had an amazing weekend getaway.
We immediately hit it off with Jenneh and Joe. Their attention to detail, design, and a “know what they want” attitude made designing this wedding a dream! Now weddings at the Mission Inn do not need much. Its beautiful architecture is a feast for the eyes. But it gave us the challenge of designing some personalized pieces that really spoke to Jenneh and Joe.
Is your dream wedding feeling like a distant memory? You are not alone. Many couples are feeling the same loss but there are actionable steps you can take to still move forward and have a beautiful and fun wedding for you and your guests!
What is the difference between a venue coordinator and a wedding planner? If your venue includes a “coordinator” in their package, don’t be fooled. This is not what you think it is.
Wedding planners are masters at improvising. Part of your wedding planner’s job is knowing how to roll with the punches all while keeping the bride and groom calm and relaxed. Even when things happen that are out of your control. Much like actors, wedding planners have to improvise, and KEEP GOING-We are masters at this!
When asked about their wedding and what they would have done differently most newlyweds say “I wish I would have hired a wedding planner.” We believe every couple deserves a wedding planner-even if it isn’t us!
