The great thing about event planning is, there’s never a dull moment. Each venue is so different; each couple or client has a unique vision. Working with a variety of vendors and clients is the best part of our job. Here’s a round up of some of the fun moments of 2013.
CORPORATE EVENTS
In both our work and private lives, we try to be as green as possible – I think I was the only person I knew (at the time) who took the subway and buses whenever possible when I had a regular commute over a decade ago – and now, public transportation in the Car Capital of the USA is booming. Being a part of MoveLA’s annual conference was a chance to see how people are working hard to make a difference. Together, we worked with Homegirl Catering and LM Event Productions, who provided the tables, chairs, lighting, and AV. Amy Williams Photography captured the day.

DESIGN
Our experience has included design production for television, and being able to use our skills with power tools, sewing, and other hands-on fabrication has added unique, custom touches to our weddings.

BALLROOM GLAMOR
While we love our out-of-the-box weddings, there’s nothing like a gorgeous ballroom done up to the nines. We loved pulling together the details on these luxurious weddings.

SOMETHING NEW…
Unique ideas abound at every event – it’s our job to bring those elements that reflect our client’s personalities and taste to life.

BON VOYAGE
We were off to Paris again, and we’ll be jetting there again in late spring 2014. While April was rainy, many French think rain is good luck for a couple, and it must be true – everything went smooth as silk.

We had the opportunity to coordinate our second wedding in Palm Springs, too. We love it in the desert – the resort feel, the weather, and the scenery: clear blue skies meeting the mountains.

Looking back is fun, but even more exciting is looking ahead to the new year. Happy 2014 everyone!
