Celebrating at Sunset Da Mona Lisa


"Thank you so much for all that you did for Jess and me. We had such an amazing time and could not have wished for a better wedding. Thank you!! We are really looking forward to getting the photos and video."
-Morley, the groom

BRIDE & GROOM: Jessica & Morley
WEDDING DATE: March 13, 2009
LOCATION: Ceremony & dinner at Sunset Da Mona Lisa, Reception/Dancing upstairs at the DG Lounge, Cabo San Lucas
GUEST COUNT: 24





Just because your guest count may be small, it does not mean you need to sacrifice the dreams you have always had for a fabulous, elegant and romantic wedding. Jessica & Morley had both the intimate ceremony overlooking the famous Arch that they had always dreamed of...and a party location where all of their guests could enjoy themselves all night, dancing and drinking special signature drinks created just for them by the couple in the urban, funky, ultra-hip DG Lounge. This was a very unique and effective way to utilize this location for this size of a wedding.

WEDDING HIGHLIGHTS:

CELEBRATION & VACATION: Jessica & Morley truly showed their appreciation to their guests, making them feel like the celebrities who often come to Cabo. They rented 2 amazing villas in Pedregal where they and their guests could stay (and also provided massages & salon treatments for those who wanted it). They provided a festive Mexican rehearsal dinner, the incredible wedding & reception, and a sunset cruise for all of their guests for the day after the wedding. It was literally a vacation AND a celebration for all involved.




DJ: I ran into several of Jessica & Morley's guests the day after the wedding as they were shopping in downtown Cabo. They stopped me on the street, told me how much they loved the wedding and especially how awesome the DJ was for the late night party. Perfect music can make a perfect night. Good job, Augustin (my DJ that night!)


MOJITOS: Mango, strawberry & lime. What else needs to be said!
DELICIOUS WEDDING CAKE: Not only gorgeous, but also very tasty!


(The edging on the cake matched the edging on their wedding invitation. So beautiful!)

El Dorado Elegance - Paulina & Mike

BRIDE & GROOM: Paulina & Mike WEDDING DATE: Sat, April 17, 2010 LOCATION: Rehearsal Dinner: Private Villa, Wedding & Reception: El Dorado Beach & Golf Club NUMBER OF GUESTS: 68 Back Story: I met Paulina's mom, Rocio, in the midst of coordinating an earlier El Dorado wedding (see previous blog for Heather & Alan's wedding.) She saw how beautiful Heather & Alan's wedding was and said, "I know my daughter, Paulina, wants her wedding to be here too." From that moment on, Rocio & I hit it off, and her daughter, Paulina, the bride, was just as beautiful and gracious as her mother. We had a great year together planning Paulina & Mike's wedding. (I also did Rocio's wedding on El Dorado's yacht, El Discovery, soon after we met...but that is another story...and another blog...) The Ceremony Decor: Paulina had a great sense of color and knew she wanted to include a chandelier in her ceremony decor. I drove this chandelier down the
