Amada Plaza 10-18-2008

Te Amada Plaza offers many unique items to the couple searching for something a little different. A lovely indoor atrium complete with pond, gorgeous setting and surprise opening of the roof as the bride enters makes this a special venue, indeed.

This wedding was a reception only, but the room was gorgeous. I played out in the foyer, prior to the dinner.

Hacienda Bridal Open House 10-18-2008

The Hacienda, located in Santa Ana is a sister venue to both Tivoli Terrace and Tivoli, Too, in Laguna Beach. A historic ranch estate built in 1901, this location becomes more lovely each time I visit. They even boast a gorgeous new garden chapel where I was proudly placed. This lovely new area, the luscious indoor Taos Room and the original garden setting offer three ceremony sites all within one venue!

The staff is professional the food, fantastic. This well kept secret, located in the heart of the city, is open for Sunday Brunch as well as lunch and dinner.

Hidden Valley/ Villa Amalfi, Norco 10/4/2008

Villa Almalfi, formerly of Corona, has recently assumed the catering and special events at Hidden Valley Golf Club, right here in my hometown of Norco. http://www.hiddenvalleygolf.com/

The day was cold , overcast, windy and even a few sprinkles, but the sun made an appearance for the bride. Rustic, but spectacular scenery, incredible privacy and fabulous cuisine make this an Inland Empire venue to be considered for your next private event.

Canyon Crest Country Club is one of the older, gentile, private country clubs that boast all the amenities. Golf, tennis, swimming and of course an elegant dining/event center. I have the opportunity of playing here several times a year for their special birthday/anniversary formal dinners for their members. This club does everything right and I'm proud to be on their preferred vendor list for weddings.

As a participating vendor I was allowed to sit at the head table. An anniversary dance was held to find out who had the most years in the business. At 27 years, I was among the last few left standing in an elimination type dance. What a gorgeous evening!
