East coast couple Kara & Chris came to me looking for a full service planner for their Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel destination wedding. Explaining from the start that they were hoping for an intimate, understated event, I was excited to come on board to lead them through their entire planning journey! We planned over the phone and over email for 9 months and I was proud to be their eyes and ears here in CA!

The couple really wanted the hotel’s beauty to speak for itself, so we incorporated small touches of color and flowers here and there. With the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop, you don’t need much! The Plaza Ballroom was the perfect intimate space to host their 45 guests who flew in from all over the country to join in the celebration!
