Spring Wedding at The Casino San Clemente

Haelin and Sangmin stepped onto the Casino’s Patio of the Stars where they shared their first look beneath the shade of nearby trees. Filled with quiet anticipation, they exchanged sweet compliments and heartfelt vows savoring each moment together before the celebration began. The couple posed for photos together to ensure each special memory would be kept for years to come, then lined up for the wedding ceremony.

Guests took their seats in the Rock Garden where light pink, ivory, and lime green florals decorated the ceremony backdrop. Once everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances down the aisle. Together in front of all their closest friends and family, Haelin and Sangmin recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Caprese Skewers, Roasted Red Cherry Tomato Bruschetta, and BBQ Chicken Mini Pizzas were tray passed around the Patio of the Stars while the bar served up Old Fashioned and Aperol Spritz signature drinks. While the ocean breeze kept guests cool and music kept the party going, the newlyweds posed around the venue for golden hour romantics. Just as the sun began to set, everyone headed inside for the reception.

Inside the Grand Ballroom, tables were topped with fresh pastel pink and lime green floral arrangements and tea candles. Sangmin and Haelin made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Chicken Parmigiana, Short Rib Rotolo Bolzano, Garlic Parmesan Mushrooms, Red Roasted Garlic Potatoes, and Caesar Salad were served. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. After dinner the bride and groom cut into their wedding cake and invited everyone to indulge in our Italian Dessert station with a collection of Chocolate Dipped Cannoli, Florentine Cookies, Meyer Lemon Cheesecake Bars, Tiramisu Dessert Shots, and Spumoni Tarts. The celebration continued on the dance floor late into the evening where guests posed for selfies and shared their well wishes with Haelin and Sangmin.
