Candlelit Summer Wedding at Serra Plaza in San Juan Capistrano
Anthony and Madison tied the knot at their church with friends and family watching from the pews, then headed to Serra Plaza to continue the celebration. Guests were greeted with tray passed Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons, Chicken Jalapeno Empanadas, and Vegan Artichoke Hearts while the bar served up Lemon Drop and Spicy Margarita signature cocktails. While everyone mixed and mingled, the bride, groom, and their wedding party posed for group photos with the venue’s draped archways as their backdrop. Fun memories were made as the group smiled for the camera. After photos, everyone made their way from cocktail hour inside the Lounge to the reception in the Courtyard.
Tables topped with white candles surrounded a white and brown checkered dance floor and sparkling chandeliers hung overhead. The newlyweds made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table with Spanish fountain as their backdrop. Toasts were shared and Chicken Santorini, Cabernet Braised Short Ribs, Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano, Mashed Potatoes, Fresh Vegetable Medley, and Caesar Salad were served. After dinner, Madison and Anthony cut into our Vintage Wedding Cake with spike cake and vanilla Bavarian filling iced with French buttercream and invited their guests to indulge in a slice for dessert. The evening ended with an outfit change, glow sticks out on the dance floor, and a fun send off for the bride and groom.
