Classic Black and White Wedding at The Casino San Clemente

Sonja and Andrew shared their first look at Mission San Juann Capistrano, posed for photos around the mission with their wedding party, then headed back to the Casino San Clemente where guests were gathering to continue the celebration. Black bentwood chairs and white flowers decorated the Rock Garden and string lights hung overhead. Once everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Sonja. Together, in front of all their closest friends and family, the bride and groom recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

The newlyweds headed for the beach as guests made their way out to the Patio of the Stars for cocktail hour. Signature Drinks were poured while Roasted Red Cherry Tomato Bruschetta, Caprese Skewers, Mini Corn Dogs, and Fig, Goat Cheese, and Mascarpone Tarts were tray passed to hungry guests. After coastal romantics, the couple headed back to join their guests for the reception.

Inside the Grand Ballroom, chandeliers hug from the ceiling, white roses topped tables, and black details pulled together the classic wedding décor. Andrew and Sonja made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared and Chicken Piccata, Penne Alla Checca, Red Roasted Garlic Potatoes, Grilled Marinated Vegetables and Ensalada Las Mesas was served. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. After dinner, the couple cut into our Vintage. Heart Cake and invited their guests to indulge in our Gourmet Dessert Station. The evening ended out on the dance floor with everyone dancing and singing together.
