Garden Inspired Wedding Reception at The Casino San Clemente

Guests gathered on the Patio of the Stars where Roasted Red Cherry Tomato Bruschetta and Lemon Parmesan Artichoke Hearts were tray passed for cocktail hour and signature drinks were served. Colorful bud vases filled with flowers topped each table and lounge furniture provided additional seating. Everyone mixed and mingled while Marlisa and Caleb posed for newlywed romantics on the beach during sunset just after tying the knot. As cocktail hour came to an end, guests checked the seating chart and headed inside for the reception.

In the Grand Ballroom, tables were draped with light pink and white tablecloths and topped with colorful garden florals and tall candlesticks. Printed menus and name cards marked each place setting and boho rattan pendant hung from the ceiling. Once everyone was seated, Caleb and Marlisa made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their head table. Toasts were shared and Chicken Piccata, Tortellini with Creamy Pesto, Italian Green Beans with Pancetta, Sliced Tomatoes with Buffalo Mozzarella, and Caesar Salad was served. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Arielle. After dinner, the couple cut into their personal wedding cake and invited their guests to indulge in our All American Dessert Station with a collection of Gourmet Rice Krispy Treats, Strawberry Shortcakes, Chocolate Chip Cookies, Mini Apple Crisps, and Banana Cream Pie Shots. The evening ended with lots of photos taken with the newlyweds, some sweet treats, and dancing out on the dance floor.
