Real Weddings: Jainnie + Craig

Okay, okay...so I've finally come to the conclusion that every wedding I do is "so special to me".  I can't help it, I love weddings and I love the couples I get to work with!  Jainnie & Craig were no different, I absolutely LOVED working with them.  Jainnie was so creative and put so much thought into her wedding day and her guest's comfort.  I loved everything Jainnie selected for her event-- from her dress to their wedding colors.  Craig was absolutely hilarious, which gave a personal touch to this special day.  And their venue?  One of my faves!  In fact, I married my hubby at the Mark West Lodge just two years before.  It will always hold a special place in my heart, and being a part of Jainnie & Craig's day there was just amazing.

Thanks again to Jainnie & Craig for inviting me to be a part of your special day.  I will always remember what a beautiful wedding you had and how much your guests enjoyed it!  And Jainnie-- I miss the many photos we sent back and forth with our iPhones.  :)  Loved it!

Cheers!

Vendor Spotlight: AMS Entertainment

Living and working in this area, Lisa & I get the opportunity to work with so many FANTASTIC vendors!  That being said, I would like to start taking the time to "spotlight" some of our favorites.  Today I would like you to meet AMS Entertainment. 

Although there are many wonderful entertainment companies in this area, AMS is always at the top of my list.  Why?  Because they make my job easier.  Seriously!  They are so professional, great at communicating, they stick to the timeline, and they are always SO helpful.   But more importantly, they are at the top because they truly care about each event they do and they really want to make each wedding a night to remember.  It doesn't matter how many events they have done, you can see how passionate they are about each and every one.  Mix that in with their undeniable talent, and you have a great team! 

The moment you pick up the phone to call AMS, you are well taken care of by Joe, Alex or Frances in the office.  They have a fabulous group of professional DJs and will hand pick the DJ that is the best fit for your wedding.  They offer live music too!  From there, you can expect a FUN and FLAWLESS night.  I promise!

Real Weddings: Megan + Bryan (and Mia too!)

This past September, I had the honor of doing a very special wedding.  Why was it so special?  My husband and I are very good friends with the bride & groom, and I was ecstatic when they asked for my help with their big day!  It was so much fun being able to put together this special day with people who are so important to me.

Megan & Bryan's wedding colors were beautiful-- Navy Blue, Regal Purple & Plum.  They were married at St. Vincent's School for Boys in San Rafael, which features a stunning church and a gorgeous courtyard.  Check out some of the amazing photos by Jihan Cerda Photography:

The dress!

Had to go with the sparkly blue pumps to match the color scheme.  :)

And the crazy guys...doing their own thing.

Cutie Pie Mia with her Mommy & Daddy!  Happy as can be.  :)

Bryan-- can your wife be any more gorgeous?!  Such a beautiful bride.

Delicious catering by Park Avenue.

Such a gorgeous venue!

This party LOVED to dance!
