Burgundy and Chartreuse Wedding by the Beach at the Casino San Clemente

Lily and Guy shared private handwritten vows on the morning of their wedding outside of the Casino San Clemente. Happy tears were shed while each of them read promises from their vow books. The intimate moment was just between the two of them, then they joined their wedding party for group photos on the lawn before lining up for the ceremony.

Guests entered the Rock Garden, signed the bride and groom’s guest book, then took a seat. Burgundy and chartreuse floral arrangements marked the back of the aisle and were arranged atop the fireplace mantle backdrop. Once everyone was in attendance, the music cued up and the wedding party made their entrances. In front of their closest friends and family, Lily and Guy recited vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Caprese Skewers were tray passed around the Patio of the Stars for cocktail hour while the bar served up Hugo Spritz and Pineapple Margarita signature drinks. Guests played cornhole and mixed and mingled while the newlyweds posed on the beach for golden hour romantics. Upon their return, it was time for the reception.

Tables were set and topped with white, chartreuse, and burgundy floral centerpieces. Guy and Lily made their grand entrance to an uproar of cheering and took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared and Zucchini Lime Chicken, Cabernet Braised Short Ribs, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, Red Roasted Garlic Potatoes, Green Beans, Pear and Walnut Salad and Jay’s Famous Cheese Rolls were served. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. After dinner the party continued inside the West Wing where our Italian Dessert Station with a collection of Chocolate Dipped Cannoli, Florentine Cookies, Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Bars, Tiramisu Dessert Shots, and Spumoni Tarts offered sweet treats for dessert and a black and white checkered dance floor invited guests to show off their moves. The evening ended with a cake cutting, lots of photos taken with the happy couple, and well wishes shared.
