Vodka! Regina and Eric Rapoport

If you have never experienced a Russian wedding, you are missing out on a fantastic experience.
Regina Kayumova and Eric Rapoport were married at the Grande Colonial Hotel on Sunday, September 13, 2009 at 4:00pm, with the Reception just down the road at Azuls La Jolla. Regina and Eric are from Wheeling IL and they flew to La Jolla with 57 of their closest Friends and Family to celebrate their destination wedding.

I love working with Destination Brides and I have to say Regina was one of the most easy going and thoughtful Brides I have had the pleasure of working with this year. Her trust in my selection from venues to vendors made planning her wedding fun and exciting! I had my dream team of vendors with me so it didn't seem like work at the reception, but a PARTY, which is what Regina and Eric wanted.

I'm so looking forward to seeing the photos and video, so check back soon for updates.

Thank You to my amazing Dream Team!

Mr. and Mrs. Junelene & Brussell Bungay

Saturdays wedding celebration for Junelene Monzon and Brussell Bungay was absolutely stunning. Stephanie and I had a wonderful time meeting new vendors and working with Greg Louie at Paradise Point Resort and Spa. I'm always grateful when I get to work with Jose Calderon , Banquet Captain at PP because he is the most gracious, accommodating and friendly Captain out there! Thank you to Jose and his wonderful team who made June and Brussell's wedding reception go off with such ease.
