Marcela & PJ ~ July 14, 2007

I can not believe Marcela and PJ are married! I have been working with this family for the past 2 years!

When you plan a wedding for this long you have the time to plan out all of the little details that really make the day memorable.
The couple had a traditional wedding at the Little Flower Basilica.

Because of their love for Hawaii the couple decided on a seaside themed reception. As the guests arrived at the reception they were greeted by hula greeters and presented a lei. When the bride and groom arrived they were escorted in by dancers and the hula show began. Not too many people think about bring a little bit of Hawaii to their San Antonio wedding but we did and it worked. The dancers did a wonderful job of interacting with the guests and keep everyone entertained. Just as the hula show ended and the dancers exited the sound of mariachis began playing from the back of the room. Everyone faces lit up as they turned to see the mariachis enter the room in a seamless transition.










Another special touch we added to the day was a slide show that we played during the first dances. During the father/daughter and the mother/son dances pictures of the couple growing up were shown and then during the couple's first dance we played pictures of the couple together. It was enjoyable to see the entire room entranced by what they were watching.




With the wedding cake snowcones were served to the children and the big kids too!
The wedding was a huge success!

Savannah, Georgia

Destination Wedding
Well I just returned from working with my New York couple and finishing up the details for their wonderful Savannah, Georgia wedding. It was my first visit to Savannah but hopefully not my last. Savannah is a great location for a destination wedding.
My couple had 95 of their closest friends and family travel to Savannah for a weekend of celebrating. It was truly intimate.
The wedding was held at the Mansion on Forsyth Park. Stunning! And the service is superb!
