Lush Green Garden Wedding in San Juan Capistrano at Serra Plaza

Katie and Jared had their first look on the Serra Plaza breezeway, shared private vows, posed for photos together at Mission San Juan Capistrano, then joined their guests back at Serra Plaza for their wedding ceremony in the Courtyard. White and yellow flowers, greenery, and white candles decorated the aisle and Spanish fountain and sparkling chandeliers hung overhead. Once guests found their seats, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Katie. In front of all their closest friends and loving family, the bride and groom recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

In the Lounge, Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons and Fig, Goat Cheese, and Mascarpone Tarts were tray passed to hungry guests while the bar served up Old Fashioned and Zero Proof Mule signature drinks. A settee photo moment where guests posed for pictures sat framed in by magenta flowers in front of the fireplace. After mixing and mingling, everyone headed back outside for the reception.

Tables draped in white were decorated in greenery with pops of yellow and white flowers. A white dance floor sat in front of the serpentine head table and a mixture of tall and short candles illuminated the space setting the scene for a romantic, al fresco dinner service. Guests checked the modern seating chart install and found their assigned seats. Katie and Jared made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their head table. Zucchini Lime Chicken, Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano, Mashed Potatoes, Grilled Broccolini, and Date and Walnut Salad were served while toasts were shared. After dinner, the newlyweds cut into our Vintage Wedding Cake and invited their guests to indulge in our Lemon Blueberry Cupcakes and Red Velvet Cupcakes for dessert. The evening ended back inside the Lounge where guests posed for selfies with the bride and groom and showed off their best dance moves.
