Welcome to my blog! Officially I have been a wedding coordinator for 10 years!! I feel so blessed to have worked as a coordinator, meeting and helping hundreds of couples and their families plan the most important day and party they will ever have: their wedding. When people find out what I do for a living they automatically perk up. They love to talk about it and are so intrigued. People often comment about how fun my job must be. They're right! My job is so fun! It has been so delightful ~ not to mention very interesting to start from nothing and end up creating something magical. It's such a happy time for people and I get to be a part of it. I've created this blog so brides, grooms, parents and friends can get a taste of my glorious, fun, happy work!! Enjoy!

Balboa Park is one of the most beautiful areas of San Diego. Couple that with a dreamy bride and groom and the amazing Natural History Museum and you have the greatest wedding of the year! Paul Barnet Photography captures the day so beautifully. Gorgeous flowers and decor produced by Grand Florals and fantastic music by The Tijuana Dogs kept the energy going.
The Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla is the perfect back drop for a perfect wedding. This gorgeous wedding featured red, green, and pink flowers. Larisa and Tommy are seriously in love! The way they look longingly into each other’s eyes. Take a look at these photos. It’s all there. These beautiful photos were taken by Darin Fong Photography and the party was full blast because Wayne Foster Entertainment provided all the music. It was a rock’n time. Beautiful, fun, and lots of love going on.
I remember the days when all wedding cakes featured a bride and groom at the top. It is a tradition that has fallen by the wayside currently replaced by fresh flowers, candy flowers or a monogram adornment. Although I love fresh flowers displayed on the wedding cake, I fell in love with this flashback idea! It was really sweet. My bride, Ilene, decided to choose a delicate paper bride and groom from Goldbug Studio to decorate the top of her cake. The couple were married at the beautiful La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, California. Their wedding colors were sea breeze blue with touches of pink. It was a very feminine color palette and the flowers were simply and beautifully designed by Grand Florals. Michele Coulon Dessertier baked and designed the wedding cake where my favorite cake topper of the year was elegantly perched and Paul Barnett Photography captured all the images that day.
One of the most perfect pink weddings!! Heather and Garrett Massey were married at the Four Seasons Aviara on a sunny San Diego summer day. Their ceremony was held in the Palm Courtyard with two huge hydrangea pedestal arrangements in shades of magenta, cotton candy, blush, and pedal pinks which marked their altar. The freshness and beauty of the flowers created by Isari Flower Studio. She was as fresh and beautiful as the blooms!! Dinner and dancing took place in the Aviara Ballroom where San Diego DJ and Video MC’d and provided music for the evening. Kevin Roche Photography captured the images so perfectly. Wendy Ware created the escort cards and table numbers, and the French Gourmet baked and designed the wedding cake.
There is a wonderful little secret being revealed here in our beautiful city of San Diego. The secret is The Santaluz Country Club. She is a gem in the rolling hills of central San Diego County with vast canyon and mountain views on one end and Pacific Ocean views on the opposite. Fittingly, my bride, Susanne, was as bright and brilliant as a jewel herself. So happy, so radiant and so very kind. The groom, Matt, matched her lovelyness and sweetness equally.
Karen Tran of Karen Tran Florals created the masterful sea of deep orange and ruby red florals accented with crystals and candle light. Darin Fong captures the beauty of the couple’s relationship and backdrop. Modern 8 created a video short of an artful movie and DJ Kanoya Productions fills the hours with music that brings it all together. The whole event is a collection of shiny, amazing treasures!!
Enjoy this edgy and original photomontage engineered by Modern 8 Films.

L’Auberge Del Mar, California is the essence of San Diego: casual, beautiful, and simply elegant.Jenny and Ryan’s seaside wedding on the Pacific Terrace was also the essence of Del Mar and San Diego with it’s seaside theme in turqouise and chocolate decor. All the details from programs, menus to table arrangements really complimented the beauty that L’Auberge boasts. Ixora provided lovely florals and Vallentyne Photography captured every romantic moment. It wasn’t hard to fall in love all over again at this wedding!! Check out this gorgeous couple and gorgeous venue!!
Timeless, elegant and fun. Megan and Andy were married on a beautiful summer day at Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church in La Jolla, California. The monochromatic white florals accented the quaintness of the historic building beautifully. The party began at the lovely and famous La Valencia Hotel Mediterranean Room. Simply timeless. Simply amazing. The decor created by Karen Tran Florals was elegant in fresh coral shades. Wayne Foster Entertainment provided powerfully fun entertainment. The guests couldn’t get enough. The night was topped off with fun assortment of cupcakes baked with love and precision by Michele Coulon Dessertier. Photographs taken by Dean Barker for Paul Barnett Photography.
La Valencia Hotel is the perfect setting for a La Jolla summer wedding. Laura, the bride, appreciated the charm and architecture of La Valencia Hotel and decided to incorporate the spanish blue and white tiles that La Valencia Hotel is famous for into the wedding decor. Karen Tran Florals created a dramatic table scape of satin white linens, cobolt blue tiles, and elegant glass containers exploding with beautiful monochromatic white orchids and lilies. Laura’s introduction of deep blue shoes complements her wedding decor with quirky spirit. An unexpected detail that worked magically! Paul Barnett Photography captures the beautiful summer evening so elegantly. Enjoy!!
