David and Amy's Wedding in Los Angeles, California

Amy and David spent the whole morning together in a conference room provided by the venue, where the wedding party got ready with hair and make-up. The two never cared about seeing each other prior, especially since they had gone shopping with one another for their suit and gown! The pictures started at around 2, and were done by 4 in time for the ceremony. It felt so organized and seamless. Right before the ceremony, in that same conference room, the bride and groom and their parents (bride's father and groom's mother) signed their Ketubah and marriage license with their rabbi. Everything fell into place perfectly.

The ceremony began with welcome champagne for everyone, tropical program fans on the chairs, and personalized pink kippot. It was short, sweet, and personal, Cocktail hour was fun- full of lawn games, a taco bar, margaritas, and passed apps. Dinner reception was beautiful, with plenty of space in the tennis court. There was a mix of long rectangle tables and smaller round tables, with the 3 rectangles framing a dance area. The newlyweds sat under a neon sign that the venue owns, attached to hedges they use for events. Amy and David dined on short ribs and salmon, drank to a few touching toasts, and danced with each other, their parents, and then the hora. Dessert was a beautiful pink ombre wedding cake (marble with chocolate chip filling), and an ice cream sandwich cart. The couple danced all night long to a mix of their favorite songs of all time with 120 of their favorite people of all time.
