Alyssa and Jack got married on a crisp November evening just before dusk. Under the magic of twinkling lights at Meson Sabika, these two love birds became husband and wife as guests watched bundled up in their complementary blankets. After the ceremony, guests found their way through the gorgeous grounds to the reception hall decorated with incredible, lush floral and candles aglow everywhere. In this picturesque setting, a delectable multi course tapas dinner was served. Once everyone had enjoyed their meals, the band, Maggie Speaks, tore the house down and kept the dance floor packed all evening long. It was a wonderful way for Jack and Alyssa to start their happily-ever-after together!

We love a brunch wedding! What a wonderful group of people. Taylor and Jason planned their day down to the very last detail, and it came together beautifully. Production people themselves, they knew exactly how they wanted their day to go and it was flawless. Their ceremony had everyone in tears, and their talented friends and fam surrounded them all day with projections and songs and even a surprise dance from the Father of the Bride! What a joy it is to work with people like T+J. We are so lucky.

Congratulations, you two! We know you’re going to have an incredible, creative, fun life together!
