What event trends are you most excited about?
Living runners are one of our favorite new trends! They are replacing the look of garland, and we are loving their lush, romantic look. We also love that brides are looking for a weekend experience rather than a one-day celebration. We have a few brides who are looking to do day-after brunches or hikes prior to their big days. The idea that all of our couples’ loved ones are celebrating the weekend with them is so unique and special.

What has been one of your favorite events of the past year and why?
This past year, we had the chance to dream up an incredible day for the kindest couple at the Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. They trusted us to take care of all of the details, including full design and coordination. We had the chance to create a wedding that exceeded their wildest expectations and were able to get creative with other event professionals in bringing their best work to the table. It was a modern wedding in a garden setting with the sweetest chic details. Inspired by Chanel and all things couture, it was seriously such a special and beautiful day that we were honored to be a part of.

Cigar and whiskey bars are always a hit, too.

As a full-service production company, we take care of our clients from beginning to end, especially on a wedding day. First, we deploy a bride’s whisperer to help with all the tasks of making sure the party is on schedule for hair and makeup. This team member also steams all the dresses and irons the suits and shirts for the guys. She also knows how to sew onsite and bustle every wedding gown. Then there’s a groom’s handler to keep all the guys in line — make sure they eat (and don’t over-indulge before the event begins), tie their bowties, and just make sure they’re camera-ready. A director of event oversees the entirety of the event, making sure all contracts are signed and paid in full, liability insurance forms are received, rentals are accurate, and more. The production manager handles all the details of the seating chart, entree count, and other day-of items.
