My fiance & I live in Orange County, CA & are getting married in Newport Beach. It's a second wedding for both of us. We've been engaged since July 8, 2016 & are getting married May 19, 2018. We're planning a cocktail style wedding as a harbor cruise on a private yacht that's been converted to an event space. Our overall event style is clean, modern, and minimal. I have almost a decade of work experience in various aspects of the wedding industry, and have been enjoying planning our wedding with (so far) minimal stress.
