Monica & Brandon were married on a beautiful clear day at the Marin Headlands Center for the Arts which is a component of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The Building itself is quite unique, with its grand high ceilings and artistic feel it makes the perfect setting for rustic intimate wedding with close friends and family. All the vendors we had the pleasure of working with for this joyful event were extremely friendly and at the top of their game. Joel and Cara with Joel Flory Photography are the perfect combination, personable and professional not to mention their photos are stunning. Katie Powers and her team contributed to the evening a whimsical vibe and a truly delicious organic dinner. To end a perfect evening of dancing and laughs guest enjoyed the sinfully sweet cupcakes by That Takes the Cake which gives a new meaning to the phrase “sweet tooth”. As a wedding planner it is always a delight to participate in a couple’s special especially a couple who are genuinely happy and caring people such as Brandon and Monica.

We spent this past Saturday “Night at the Movies”, helping Noelle & Alberto celebrate their wedding day! During our initial consultation, the bride & groom told us that they didn’t want a traditional wedding. Because of their love of the cinema, we came up with a great theme, “A Night at the Movies”. We worked the theme into every detail of the event. The black & white color scheme was accented with red, starting with the red carpet aisle runner! The guests were then treated to freshly popped popcorn during the cocktail hour and the signature drink, a Dirty Shirley Temple. As they waited to be seated, guests took pictures in a fun photo booth and made scrapbook for the bride & groom. Elle Music & Events lit the white tent in reds and golden accents with a star patterned ceiling wash. As the guests were seated, they found their movie ticket escort cards in black trays filled with popcorn kernels. Cards De Luxe did a fantastic job making mini-movie posters for each table, named after one of the Noelle & Alberto’s favorite movies, including the Godfather, Pulp Fiction and Office Space. Nicole Ha’s floral centerpieces were white flowers accented with black feathers in mirrored vases with crystal embellishments. Guests feasted on a delicious meal and danced the night away on a black & white dancefloor to the tunes spun by one of our favorite DJ’s, Denon & Doyle. The night wrapped up with the most amazing cake by Glass Slipper Gourmet. The 3 tier cake featured film strip details and black and white feathers. We loved planning this event with Noelle and Alberto and the opportunity to work with some of our most favorite vendors!
