Tula and Steve's Wedding

Tula and Steve... what an amazing couple! I have been working with them for 5 months planning their wedding. I was referred to them by by the most amazing photographers Chris and Kristen from Ckrisphotography. Tula called me this past December because their event coordinator had not done anything for them since July... they were a bit worried about getting everything done in 5 months. But this past Saturday on May 30th, not only did we have everything done but the whole event went off without a hitch. What a fantastic day!

This wedding was a full day event. Tula and Steve decided they wanted to have pictures taken pre-ceremony so that they could spend the entire evening celebrating with their friends and family. The wedding was held at Marvimon downtown Los Angeles. I had worked at this venue for a few other events, so I was very excited to be there again. Holly Flora was the floral designer for the wedding and she did a spectacular job. The place was stunning. Tula was beautiful in her 1950's style wedding dress and her 8 brides maids in their red 50's style dresses, Steve handsome as ever, waiting for Tula with his 8 groomsman. The ceremony was Tula and Steve all the way... funny, touching, sentimental... perfect. But, the entire event was not held there... right after the wedding all the guests boarded red double decker busses to the Empress Pavilion for a Chinese family style dinner.

Empress Pavilion; the room looked fantastic with red paper balls suspended from the ceiling, vintage screens around the room, candle light and a dj... After Tula and Steve were announced as husband and wife...The Immortals performed. WOW... they were so crazy good. After dinner guests boarded the double decker busses and headed back to Marvimon where we transformed the wedding setup to a hip rockin' lounge. You have to see the pictures of the dessert bar to believe how gorgeous it looked... because it lasted all of two seconds!! - no kidding. The desserts not only looked great but tasted even better... another great job by Vanilla Bake Shop! Lounge furniture, great lighting, two bars, vintage photo booth, dancing, old movies projected on a huge screen, what else could you ask for. This was a party.

Thank you Tula and Steve for allowing me to not only to share in your special day but to help create an event to remember.
