Gopika's & Jordan's Big Day

Before the bride came into the ceremony she was adorned gracefully.

Getting ready and beautiful took much preparation and several ceremonial blessings by family members.

Here is a mini highlight video so you can travel to the memories...thank you to David Robin Films!

The bride looked like an Imperial princess, Eduardo Lucero created her attire 

and came to the wedding to help celebrate.

The color coordination of the bride and groom was sweet beyond belief!

The escort cards were set in vintage brass trays and containers filled with orange lentils, and used motifs from ancient Indian designs representing ducks, who bond for life.

Welcome to the ceremony area, where they walked into their new life on sweet rose petals.

The magical ceremony had much meaning and many, many blessings with lots of chanting and singing.

The dining tent was sublime, elegant and inspiring.

Look at all the yummy bites and treats the guests were offered from beginning to end.

Sultry dance floor, can you believe the lighting that Classic Party Rents created transformed the tent into a party palace? Thank you Maureen Harkness and Kyle Hollars.

Thank you Tara Rochelle for all the great photos.

Layla's & Aldo's Wedding

The heels and dress both sparkled magically with glamour.

There was a "grass" covered stage that blended in with the lawn so the massive willow could speak it's power with no distraction. Have you ever seen so many pretty white chivari chairs? 

Classic Rents Maureen Harkness got us the clear plexiglass podium.

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the luckiest girl in the world? 

(Josh Kaplan did hair and Jessica Hollingsworth did the make-up.)

Getting ready is so much a part of the excitement!

Glass plateaus set off the elegant flowers in the bride's favorite colors. The finest Saddlerock wines and a perfect meal by Someone's In The Kitchen tempted all the guests tastebuds.

Look how simple white roses make all the bridesmaids look so dressed up.

"Daddy's" little girl looks so grown up!

What a lovely afternoon, the lighting just got more magical as the evening wore on.

Satin, special chairs - an Italian fine dining experience was our inspiration.

The chandelier was HUGE and we spot lit it with a bit of pink for romance. 

The twin lounges underneath were hot hangouts for guests.

Ice crystal plates with a gourmet cheese selection, gelato in a variety of flavors, and desserts enough to please every guest were in abundance.

Look at all the pretty macaroons flown in just for the party!

It was so fun to sit and look across the party at all the action with so many guests! 

Major blast was had by all!

Man, was this ever a pretty cake to cut. AND delicious! From Dorrie Kinney.

  

The bouquet had just enough bling, thank you Eric Buterbaugh!
Thank you to Susan Bordelon for all the luscious photos, what precious memories you helped create!

We took over the entire property and created a French experience with chefs, entertainers, photo ops, sing along, seafood station - everything you can think of to make a party spectacular.

We brought in a Moulin Rouge as a backdrop.

it is so beautiful and romantic! ...from Bliss Video Productions!

Dearest Michael,

How can anyone have you for their wedding planner and not walk away with the same sense of delight and enthusiasm that pervades your entire being. Under the title of "Wedding Planner" you have worn many hats. To Marni and I you have been:

    * A total blast!

    * A creative genius

    * An extremely detailed organizer

    * A wonderful listener and therapist

    * A tasteful fashion coordinator

    * And so much more...

One cannot even begin to imagine the hundreds of hours you have put into this event and the patience, class and grace with which you have handled each situation. I cannot imagine doing any event or party without the help of your expertise. There is one more thing to add to the list, you have been an irreplaceable friend!

This means, at this time, that I will not bid adieu. I hope our relationship continues on and on. All I can finally say is you are!!!

Love,

Shelli Rosenthal, May 2007

Romantic Wedding Perfection

The dance space sizzling hot, with a trio of vine & 
leaf chandeliers and gobo patterns projected on the dance floor. 
The ceiling and walls were draped and back lit 
with LED lights that could be dialed to any color.

Crisp white linen, Classic fruitwood chivari chairs, 
Lord Ganesha crystal bells from India, chocolates from Switzerland, 
fine crystal, white china & silver flatware 
- an International setting sure to delight.

The ceremony mandap was covered in thousands of marigold flowers as is tradition.
Red rose petals created a welcome underfoot.
