When you are just not able to keep your guest count to under 74 then the next best celebration space at the Ritz Laguna is the Pavilion ballroom. With this room you get married on the gazebo lawn with full ocean backdrop then then guests enjoy cocktails on the balcony that runs along the room with full Pacific Ocean views, and then enjoy access to the room/balcony through the 5 sets of french doors. Due to the low ceilings and chandeliers it has elegance yet intimacy also.

Amanda had booked me for a month of service I believe, this is one of the services for brides that feel they will have or are excited to pull the vendor team/handle the budget/vision etc together themselves. As happens, sometimes life and work get in the way and it just doesn’t happen. I am always available to be upgraded in service level, as you have me for your date anyway. So I get a call from Amanda a couple months into their planning, it just wasn’t happening, they need to upgrade, so we moved them up to the starts immediately service Prep/planning, where the first thing we do is budget (which gives us direction for vendors/style etc) and got her working on the tasks/decisions/things that needed to be worked on and I kept her on track with those for the next six months. Amanda and her mom were just a pleasure to work with, and with style being both their middle names the end result was perfect (including the color co-ordinated/feel candy station by Candee by Sandee). From our first meeting with Nisie of Enchanted Florist where the colors/feel were solidified, to our linen/chair selection meeting (always fun in the Fusion showroom to play) and then the tasting at the hotel where we confirmed the food/beverage selections, we had a great time pulling it all together. Another successful mcee/djing gig by Peter/Vive Entertainment, and another ceremony with Paul Uhlar (great voice and service) think we are around 2000 together as of now. Thanks Amanda for the photos below for me to show just a bit of what our teamwork/planning resulted in on the day.
