20-20 event at Diamond View Towers

Waters Catering celebrated their 20th Anniversary at the beautiful Diamond View Towers Downtown. Stephanie and I mingled with old friends as we sampled some of the most amazing edibles. Homemade ravioli, salmon, mini barbecue pork rib sandwiches, cheddar caviar pops, were passed on elegantly display trays, but our favorite part of the evening is when the desserts arrived!. Mini raspberry pop tarts, delicious peanut butter cups and mini hostess cupcakes (way better than the original) made us all remember our childhood!
Thank you to Amanda with Creative Affairs and all the other amazing vendors who put on a spectacular event.

Thank you to Lake View Florist, Flour Power and Floral Works & Decor Inc. for jumping in at the last minute and coming together to create this beautiful table.

2009 Best Wedding Planner


The Knot.com has awarded A Dream Wedding by Sharon Cole Best Wedding Planner in San Diego for the third year in a row!
Thank you to everyone that voted, we are truly blessed to have so many supportive clients, friends and family.




Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Heise!
I have to say this was one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever had the pleasure of Coordinating. Amy and Brad were the perfect couple to work with, fun imaginative and loving. We worked together for 9 months planning their wedding and now that it is over I will miss talking with them. Amy's parents, Patty and Rick were amazing, they gave their daughter and new son-in-law the perfect Dream wedding and all the guests could not stop complimenting them on what a great time they were all having. Thank you to my two wonderful assistant coordinators Stephanie and Chelsea, your the best!

A BIG Thank You to all of the amazing vendors who participated.
