Remembering Weekends

June 14, 2013

This weekend is my first one completely off (no weddings, no meetings, no site visits, nothing) since early March, so I’m heading to the beach to catch up on some sleep, some socializing, and some sunshine (although I may be planning to shoot a tutorial on signature cocktails, so it’s not like my workaholic tendencies have completely [...]

Tracy & Leo’s San Francisco Cocktail Party Wedding

June 13, 2013

Tracy & Leo’s wedding last fall was combined so many of my favorite wedding things that it’s almost funny looking back at it. They had their ceremony in the garden of San Francisco’s famous Swedenborgian Church, and their reception in the reception space at the church, which feels like an amazing craftsman house (um… probably [...]

Allison & Kim’s Brazil Room Wedding

May 30, 2013

Allison & Kim’s wedding was one of those fantastically fun, fantastically hot summer days in the East Bay. The Brazil Room is a Bay Area institution and one of my favorite venues for a wedding – everything is central, and both the outdoor and indoor spaces are gorgeous, and you feel like you’re in the [...]

Rachel & Danny’s Tiburon Wedding

May 29, 2013

Rachel & Danny’s Tiburon wedding made some of the best use of the Bay that I’ve ever seen. Their ceremony was right on the water at the Lyford House (part of the Audobon Center & Sanctuary) and, I mean, take a look: The reception was down the road at the Corinthian Yacht Club, which I [...]

May 28, 2013

Oh hey. If you’ve been following along closely, you’ve probably seen that I’ve been occasionally writing over at A Practical Wedding for the last year or so about logistical wedding planning topics.

Mad For Love

March 4, 2013

Some of my favorite East Bay independent wedding vendors and I are putting on a mini-showcase at Toast, one of my favorite restaurants and event venues, later this month – and we’d love to see you there! If big wedding fairs aren’t your thing (they’re not mine) then you should feel at home – it’s [...]

Buying Booze for Your Wedding

January 30, 2013

Last week I pretty much brain dumped everything I know about alcohol and weddings into one big post over at A Practical Wedding. This is one of the topics clients ask me about the most, so hopefully will be helpful to everyone out there currently planning! photo: Hart & Sol West

Hey January

January 23, 2013

Can someone please explain how it’s January 23rd already? Some random things for you: I haven’t actually tried them yet, but I’m excited about this line of colorful compostable ware from Susty Party. Made out of starch and grass fiber, in the US. Rad. (pictured above) If you haven’t seen Dan Savage’s brilliant column on [...]

Stephanie & Woody’s Joy Filled Sonoma Wedding

January 17, 2013

Stephanie and Woody were living on the East Coast when they originally booked me to plan their wedding, and I didn’t actually meet Steph in person until we’d been working together (over the phone and email) for almost six months (I did, however, meet Woody before we signed a contract – only the second time [...]

Amy & Greg’s Intimate Evening Gallery Wedding

January 12, 2013

Amy & Greg’s wedding was at Foreign Cinema, one of my favorite venues in the Bay Area (also, one of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area!) It was a perfect blend of close friends and family, incredible food, a beautiful setting, and a lot of love. From the start they were focused on keeping [...]
