Congratulations Erin and Pierre!






Erin and Pierre were a blast to work with. Patti, mother of the bride, and Erin knew what they wanted and added many special little details. The ring bearer's pillow was made by Patti and included buttons from Erin's great grandmother's button box and they had a grog ceremony at the reception. (It's a military thing :) The most talked about piece of the wedding coordination was Erin and Greg's (father of the bride) entrance. As the bridal party entered from separate entrances and met at the top of the aisle, it was fun to watch all guests looking to see where Erin was going to appear from. Then the moment appeared as they walked over the hill directly toward the guests. It was magical and looked like they were being ushered by a breeze over a hilltop you would find in areas such as the likes of Ireland, but instead found in sunny Casa Grande, AZ. (check back for professional pictures of this moment in a few weeks)

The reception took place at the home of the bride's parents. It boasted of soft, billowy curtains dancing in the evening breeze with a glow from paper lanterns swaying in the trees plus the shimmer of floating candles dancing off the water in the pool.

They were blessed with approximately 120 guests from California to New York and all were treated to the beautiful voice of Sarah, Erin's dear friend, who is an opera singer in New York. It was a beautiful day filled with much love for a beautiful couple. Congratulations Erin and Pierre!

Wedding in the sky? Couple weds atop airplanes



I just had to tell you all about Katie and Darren McWalter's wedding. This couple really did it their way....atop airplanes. Yes actual flying airplanes. Check out their video on




How can the honeymoon top that? Well it will be a challenge, but their African safari should be the icing on the cake (no pun intended :)


Congratulations Katie and Darren on making your wedding Absolutely You.

FREE Destination Wedding



Okay. Destination weddings are on my mind. One of my couples, Sharon and Jason will be wed in less than 50 days in Mexico. Oh how time flies! They currently have more than 30 guests that are eagerly awaiting their upcoming celebration. I am too!!!
Destination weddings are becoming the affordable wedding option. Did you know that for the price of most U.S. weddings you could pay for you, your sweetie and 20 or so guests to celebrate your wedding in a tropical paradise? Most guests would never expect you to pay for their trip, but you could treat them to a cocktail reception, sit down beach dinner and spa treatment per guest for less than most local hotel weddings. There are also several beautiful resorts offering FREE weddings at their locations. Contact us today for more information on your wedding in paradise.

Happy Planning!
