They hired me in May of 2008 and we got to work right away creating a warm and unique event. They really did not want a lot of formality and structure -- They wanted a fun cocktail party atmosphere for their 70 guests, mostly from out of town. So, our overall theme was to bring in the elements of the desert and southwest.
For the food, we decided to serve a Mexican inspired cuisine provided by Seasons Gourmet Catering, including Mini Tostadas, Quesedillas and a Salsa Bar, among many other tasty items. The staff was phenomenal and owner, Stuart Kramer went well above and beyond as usual!
For the flowers, we went with an array of proteas. They are huge exotic flowers and Tyler's Custom Design used at least 5 different varieties to create some truly breathtaking arrangements. They were not only a gorgeous addition to Donna's existing decor in the house, but they were a perfect compliment to the desert landscape in the back yard as well.



Last but not least, I must share a YHD first!!! Half-way through the evening, about 30 guests, including the bride and groom, decided to jump in the pool, evening-wear and all! Their little dip only lasted about 15 minutes, but during that time I raided the house for every dry towel I could find. One guest asked me as I handed out towels whether this was part of my job description. I just laughed and replied, "It is now!" It was just good, clean, spontaneous fun and a wedding I will be talking about for many years to come!

Amazing job once again Emily! It's always a pleasure to work with you!!
