Love Does Not Recognize Age

Posted in Ceremony and Reception Locations, Outdoor Weddings, Wedding Ceremony, tagged , , , , , , , on March 3, 2013| Leave a Comment »

Last night I had the privilege of officiating the wedding ceremony for Juro and Michiko.

It was a small intimate affair with just family, on the terrace at Bertrand Mr. A’s. The spectacular views offered so many images of San Diego: ocean, city, and gardens in the park.

Every couple and ceremony is unique, and this one just a little moreso – the groom was 84 and the bride 83.

Juro and Michiko were first married 60 years ago, divorced 40 years ago, became engaged in August 2012, and married again March 2.

It is such a beautiful story to remind us you just never know what life will bring you, and that love has its own path and timeline to find its way home.

Point Loma Chapel a hidden gem

The Chapel at NTC in Pt. Loma is such a hidden gem! Thank you to Events Manager Rebecca Duckworth at NTC events for the great tour yesterday!

Lovely, understated and elegant, this nondenominational chapel will suit any ceremony

The beautiful simple interior of deep woods and stained-glass window offers a perfect tranquil setting for any ceremony.

This location is open to all faiths and is available to everyone. Bring your own officiant or minister, music, etc. (If you would like organ music they do require that you hire their professional organist.)

It’s a lovely blank slate for any wedding.

And, ladies, you will love the HUGE and beautifully appointed getting-ready room. The guys have a great hang-out spot as well – there is plenty of comfortable space for all your family and wedding party to gather before the ceremony starts.

Additional unique ceremony sites at NTC include the beautiful Rose Garden and the gorgeous Courtyard with views of the fountain.

One of the most beautiful spots for a wedding ceremony is offered by Candelas on Coronado. Toes in the sand, lapping waves and a backdrop of America’s Finest City – downtown San Diego.

Even better was officiating the wedding ceremony for Jen and Jon on October 5. What a sweet couple!!

“Jon and I cannot thank you enough for officiating our wedding. The ceremony was so beautiful because of you. We will always remember your kind words and how comfortable you made us feel on a day when we were already excited and anxious. Thank you for helping us personalize our ceremony. It was perfect and we loved it. Thank you! Jen & Jon”

Always impressive photography by Philip DeFalco.

The couple borrowed from her family’s love of the ocean and sailing. For their unity ceremony they “tied the knot”.

Just Married! Jon and Jen really played up their oceanfront ceremony, with starfish hanging from the arch.

April 1st Wedding – No joke!

Posted in Ceremony and Reception Locations, Decor, Favors, Outdoor Weddings, Themes, Wedding Dresses, tagged , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 14, 2012| Leave a Comment »

For their April 1 wedding celebration at Grand Pacific Palisades in Carlsbad, this couple playfully executed a fun springtime event with grace and whimsy.
From pinwheels in the arbor to argyle socks reflecting their gray & yellow theme, Katy and Troy were so fun and fun-loving!

Cutest funnest blingiest bridal shoes ever!

Their creative execution of playful surprises throughout the wedding made this such a memorable event, and fun for their guests as well.
Friends and family got in on the act as well – Mother of the Bride created all of the centerpieces with florals from a wholesaler, and friends put set up a fun interactive Candy Bar for guests to take home goodies.

Katy & Troy: fun-loving and in love

“Gayle did everything we hoped she said she would and more. . . . it was absolutely the best choice we made in the entire wedding process. The fact that I could relax and enjoy my day with my new husband, family and friends knowing that everything was taken care of was invaluable.”

Wedding guests can make their own to-go bag favor of goodies from the candy bar!

Congratulations you two!
