When I first met with Huyen we talked as if we’d known one another for years. She has so much energy (in a good way), sweet, honest, and very funny. She’s a pint sized prankster too! I wanted to work on her wedding right off. She had so many fun ideas that translated beautifully into her event. They took the traditional cocktail napkin and punched them up with “Did you know” fun facts about each other. It made guests laugh and inquire about the full story. Instead of a photomontage we hung 100 photographs from ribbon off sconces to give a more intimate feel to the photos. Guests were able to scroll through or linger and laugh. For the traditional garter removal, she ditched that idea and lined up several of the bridesmaids, a male guests and her Mom only to blindfold Brian and leave him to “feel up” the right leg.

It was so much fun to work with Heather and Chris on their event. They had great ideas and were really looking for out of the box concepts for their wedding. They chose Belle Loréve for the sprawling views of the Ojai and Santa Paula mountains and beautiful garden setting for the ceremony. It was SO hot that day with temperatures in the 100’s. It made for a beautiful day and everyone was so excited to be there. Heather’s parents, a creative duo, provided very unique table tops of 60” round mirrors. It gave the whole event a very Hollywood glam vibe. I dubbed Quinn Mayer my favorite father of the bride for the year! Quinn and Pam Mayer were a pleasure to speak to at every turn.
