Francesca and Eric are one of the sweetest couples we have ever worked with. They are so our people. We love them. Can we be friends?
Oh, the wedding. Yeah. It was amazing. Beautiful. Lovely. Rockinrollin.
And, Eric? He’s kinda famous. Eric Bress is a screenwriter, film director and producer, probably best known for the Final Destination series and The Butterfly Effect. And, he’s the nicest guy you’ll ever meet.
Perfectly planned (and referred by) one of our most wonderful coordinator pals, Uyen Nguyen from Sassy Girl Weddings & Events!

A lovely, descriptive blog entry from the couple’s indispensable wedding planner, Alexandra Rembac-Goldberg of Sterling Engagements, was a wonderful treat! She really rocked this wedding and we can’t wait to work with her again next month.
“I was introduced to Tracy and Kramer by past clients who were long time friends of Tracy’s. We connected at the end of May to plan their December wedding. In just six short months we planned their organic elegance wedding. When we first met they described their perfect venue as aged with character and a gorgeous structure. I immediately suggested Vibiana as its history and glamour seemed like the perfect fit.
Tracy and Kramer both work hard and when they aren’t working, they’re either traveling or enjoying great food and wine amongst each other or with friends. Keeping this in mind, I knew we had to pair them with a caterer that understood what a true foodie bride and groom would appreciate on their special day. Steve Fortunato of Room Forty was the ideal fit to assist them with a top-shelf dinner for their day. Once we selected their venue and caterer, all the additional details just flowed effortlessly.
Tracy worked with a family friend at Paper Pushers to design their amazing wedding invitations which displayed a photo of her maternal grandparents on their wedding day. This was one of my favorite details from her day.
For the design, it was important to both Tracy and Kramer to create something modern and organic but still rustic with an elegant undertone. Susan from Peony and Plum designed the most gorgeous centerpieces incorporating succulents, orchids, garden roses, scabiosa pods, seeded eucalyptus and more. They were set in beautiful wood boxes and paired with candles. They really wanted a natural look as the space itself is so gorgeous they didn’t want to compete with it but rather enhance it. The amazing lighting Amber Event Productions assisted us with really took it to another level as well.
When it came to who would document the day, it was really important to Tracy and Kramer that they selected a team that not only took amazing photos, but also focused on capturing natural candids, as this was a priority. When Cat and Adi of Next Exit Photography and Camron of New Classic Films were selected, I was elated as they both are two of my favorites to document a day.
There was a conversation during the planning process where Tracy and I discussed the day. I remember telling her at that moment that her wedding day would be warm, magical, exceedingly special, filled with love, good friends and family. Looking back, Tracy and Kramer’s day was just that and I am so honored I was able to be a part of it. ” — Alex

I have known the bride’s family my whole life, so being a part of this huge celebration was more than special!
Stacy and David live and work in New York City, but they celebrated their wedding at the always perfect Adamson House on Malibu Beach.
The sand and surfers, just a stones throw away from the dancefloor, is an exquisite backdrop for a late summer SoCal wedding.
