Tradition Their Way


The celebration kicked off with a Friday night Shabbat dinner poolside at the Luxe Hotel, a Saturday ceremony at sunset and evening reception in Casa del Mar’s grand ballroom. Wayne and team conquered a major milestone after laying 2.5 tons of flagstone to create the ceremony aisle way on the sand. The stone aisle adorned with clusters of potted succulents that extended all the way into the chuppah wedding canopy. Close to 200 guests witnessed from white-cushioned benches and ottomans arranged to create a “circle of life,” creating a very intimate ceremony in a very public place. From there, the new bride swirled the party into the Casa del Mar for an equally intimate and yet playful, fun and festive reception with each tabletop different yet creative and cohesive.

  • Design and décor, full wedding planning and coordination

  • Casa del Mar

  • To create three intimate settings over a two-day period, flawlessly executed with casual elegance and unexpected touches.

  • “I was the kind of client who knew what she wanted. I was organized, did lots of research and couldn’t even imagine what all Wayne could do for us. And now, I can honestly say that we alone could have never taken our vision of a casual yet elegant wedding and turned in into the most incredible day of our lives.”
