So excited when my friend and colleague Liz King, Li’K Designs, called me and asked if I would be interested in helping plan an open house luncheon for the beautiful Crossline Church Venue, along with some favorite vendors of mine.

We got right to work with the lovely Gayla, Weddings Director, and had the most fun planning all the fun details.  Thank you to Gayla for having The Charming Little Event Company as a preferred vendor!!

I suggested to Gayla that she contact Mary over at Jay’s Catering for the food and beverage since that would be a guaranteed success!  It was beyond that! Delish….

Crossline Church is a hidden gem amid the hustle & bustle of civic facilities and Moulton Parkway.  Drive up and around a hill and voila!!  A stunning ceremony and reception location with a huge lake in the background.  A must see.

Thanks to Gavin Wade Photo – Gavin and Erin for the beautiful pictures and brand spankin’ new marketing photos!

Reher’s Florist designed the altar arrangement, utilizing the existing items, which was super-creative and looked fabulous!  Jana also created table arrangements that incorporated pops of bright colors, which really set off the neutral linen palette.  Gorgeous!

Thanks to Fusion Linen for the stunning, romantic and chic linens PLUS the modern and comfy lounge furniture – a must for your event!  Fusion can always be count on to help out and they are a truly loved organization within the wedding community.

Thanks to Aki for the hand roll sushi station! Yummy!  He does way more than sushi too.

Thanks to Catherine, Catherine Joanne Cakes, for the most gorgeous and tasty cookies.  Wow almost too pretty to eat!  Almost…

And thank you to Cori, Events by Cori who was also asked to help plan the luncheon and she jumped right in to help with invites, rsvps, designs and more.

Katie & Sam, Huntington Beach Wedding

A stunning couple, gorgeous day to get married and the most charming, rustic venue.  All part of the beautiful wedding day of Katie & Sam on October 23, 2010.

Katie loved the feel of the Red Horse Barn and opted for a hand-made, comfy, and crafty design for the reception.  Found provided awesome vintage furniture pieces around the dance floor, the dessert & gift tables, and made SUCH a difference in the space.  Floral pieces  were mason jars collected by the bride, and her family and filled with wildflowers and tied with colored ribbon.

For dinner, guests were first treated to hot, fresh-made quesadillas and cocktails, then Taco Man served up the most delicious tacos along with yummy sides.

Dessert was fabulous – homemade cookies by Katie’s mom, and donuts served with cold milk.  The guests were truly enjoying this end of the night treat.

So great working with Hoffmann Photographer.  Thank you for the incredible images!

This first photo says it all….

Alyssa and Eric are the cutest couple, full of laughs, hopes, happiness.  I truly enjoyed every second spent with them planning the details of their day.  Alyssa plans events herself, but she trusted and allowed me to assist as needed.  I love that!

Eric is a true Laker fan and my husband would have made friends quick-like with Eric!

I still communicate with Alyssa and Eric via e-mail and/or Facebook and I can’t imagine NOT hearing from them.  That’s how special they are to me.  I want to congratulate them both for such a gorgeous, detail-soaked, and full of love wedding day!

Thanks much to Trista Lerit for again, blowing us away with her beautiful images and showing everyone what the details really looked and felt like.

Thanks much to Karen at The Westin, Long Beach for your calm, professional and wonderful attitude.  What a breath of fresh air!
