Coastal Glam Wedding at The Casino San Clemente

Allison and Austin met on the Casino steps for their first look on the morning of their wedding. A tap on the shoulder turned Austin around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a classic white wedding dress. Smiles filled their faces when they saw each other for the first time that day. Compliments were shared and photos were taken, then Allison, Austin, and their wedding party lined up for the ceremony.

Blush-colored roses were arranged at the back of the aisle and atop the ceremony backdrop mantle adding a pop of color across the lush Rock Garden. Once all guests had found their seats, the music cued up and the wedding party made their entrances. In front of all their closest friends and family, Allison and Austin recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Bud vases topped ivory draped cocktail hour tables on the Patio of the Stars as guests snacked on Beef Picadillo Empanadas, Poloté, and Chips & Salsa. While everyone mixed and mingled, the newlyweds and their bridesmaids and groomsmen posed for fun photos together on the beach. As the sun set, the group made it back to the Casino and headed inside for the wedding reception.

Tables were draped in ivory linens and topped with white and blush floral centerpieces, golden framed table numbers, and gold charger plates creating a coastal glam atmosphere. The newlyweds made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Tequila Lime Chicken, Barbacoa Shredded Beef, Fajita Veggies, Black Beans, Spanish Rice, and Ensalada Las Mesas were served while toasts were shared. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. After dinner, the couple cut into their wedding cake and everyone hit the dance floor to dance the night away.
