June 6, 2009 Catherine + Jake

Polka dots and parasols...Catherine and Jake tied the knot!

Catherine, a Mary Kay sales leader, was absolutely beautiful on her wedding day. As soon as the wind died down everyone was able to enjoy the day on the ranch; dancing to tunes provided by Melissa with Kramer Entertainment.

April 25, 2009 Jill + Jay

The perfect pair. When Jonnell and I met with Jay and Jill for the first time, we couldn't wait to begin helping plan their wedding. Their relationship is so sweet and simple; exactly how they wanted their day to be.
When Jill described her ideal bouquet of fresh herbs and wildflowers, with a Love Bird theme throughout, we immediately knew that Manzanita Designs was the florist for them! Lawren created adorable birds nest centerpieces, pomander balls and curly willow trees. Jill's mom even handmade fuzzy little birds to hang from the trees!
The ceremony and reception were both held at Holland Ranch in San Luis Obispo. Their day was perfect, despite the wind, and both Jay and Jill were troopers during their photos with Daniel Wilson.

Jill gave the most heartfelt speech we've ever seen a Bride give- we were so honored to help them plan their wedding and wish them both the best of luck!

Melanie + Gavin, September 6, 2008

This past weekend was Melanie and Gavin's wedding! They are both Cal Poly alums who live on the east coast, so Jonnell and I didn't meet either of them (in person) until just days before the rehearsal.

We enjoyed working with Laurel from Adornments to bring Melanie's distinct vision to life. This proves that you can plan 99% of a wedding via email! We also finally had a chance to work with Cameron Ingalls! He was nice enough to let us use his images on our promotional materials when we were just starting out, without knowing who we were or if we could even coordinate a wedding. Thank you Cameron for having faith in us!

Their ceremony was held on the bluffs at South Palisades Park in Pismo Beach and their reception was just a short drive inland to Holland Ranch. Holland Ranch is an AWESOME venue that both Jonnell and I have fallen in love with. We actually just booked it for our MBHS 10 year high school reunion next year! But back to Melanie and Gavin...their wedding was one big party! Gavin's cousin even brought his vintage A&W rootbeer float truck- the coolest thing we've ever seen! Everyone danced the night away to San Luis Jazz Band and the groom's ipod mix...with glow sticks to boot!

Thanks for letting us be a part of the party! Congrats!

Dena + Wes, July 19, 2008

Dena and Wes got married at Spanish Oaks Ranch in Santa Margarita this past weekend. The ceremony was under the impressive oak tree out back and included a family sand ceremony with Dena's son. The wind really picked up right before the ceremony started, but fortunately died down enough for the Bride to make it down the aisle to her beaming Groom.


Anacapa BBQ provided a very tasty Mexican feast and the crowd grooved to the sounds of DJ Gy Rider until closing time.

Dena and Wes, we wish you and your family nothing but happiness! We hope that your wedding and Hawaiian honeymoon were all you had wished for!

Jaimie + Todd, May 24, 2008

We had the pleasure of coordinating Jaimie and Todd's wedding at Santa Margarita Ranch, an amazing venue with a rich history, this past Saturday. Both Jonnell and I went to high school with Jaimie and I have many fond memories with her...volleyball, camping, talking about boys...

Fortunately for us, the weather was much cooler than last week. Unfortunately for the bride, it was pretty chilly and windy. Jaimie took it in stride though, and quickly exchanged her sandals for Uggs after the ceremony- a true Central Coast girl.

Here is a link to their very awesome, very much anticipated first dance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rECabN6RzVw

Enjoy!

Jonnell and I had so much fun at this wedding that we even joined the party on the dance floor once our work was done!

I am so happy that Jaimie has found Todd, who is the perfect guy for her. Congrats you two!
