Allow me to share with you the visually and spiritually beautiful wedding of Sonia and Danny. I met Sonia through a referral from a trusted colleague. We met in late December 2009, and we hit it off instantly, and I couldn’t wait to starting working with her to create an Indian/American wedding, that reflected a sense of love, family and respect for tradition and customs.

There was only one catch. We had to do it all in THREE MONTHS!! The only thing she had was her venue. The magnificent St. Regis Monarch Beach Resort in Dana Point. I knew I needed every vendor to be the absolute best to pull this off. I went to my database and chose the creme de la creme of Southern California wedding professionals.

It was a wild ride and here are the pictures to show how TRULY SPECIAL this wedding was. They images of the day were captured beautifully by Jen Bierman of Photojenic Photography. What was more amazing was these two beautiful souls and their families sharing this union. Sonia and Danny share their hearts with everyone they know so completely. They did with me. and I feel blessed to have not only been a part of their celebration, but I’m looking forward to the precious friendship that has come from it.

Wedding Jeannie is welcoming 2010 with open arms. Let’s face it 2009 was a tough year for so many people. Weddings were impacted in a huge way. Engaged couples decided it wasn’t wise to get married in 2009 and have held off for 2010. For those of you who waited and are ready to marry in 2010, WE’RE WAITING FOR YOU!

There is so much to be excited about. We have some very interesting weddings coming up. Veronica and I are thrilled about what is to come. Some Cultural weddings include Indian, West African and Latin. We love the rich traditions that cultural weddings bring to our lives. Some of the venues where you will find us this year include Arbor Terrance in Fallbrook, The Huntley in Santa Monica, The Museum of Latin American Art in Long Beach, The St. Regis in Laguna Beach, and the historic Park Plaza in downtown Los Angeles. Wow! I’m excited thinking about it.

2010 also brings another new beginning for us. We created THE CONFIDENT BRIDE WORKSHOP in response to the confusion brides have told us they are experiencing. Wedding Jeannie believes that every bride should be a CONFIDENT bride. The World Wide Web has made wedding planning more confusing than ever. There are hundreds of websites available. It’s where YOU look for advice and vendors. Unfortunately those vendors are not always reputable. Our workshops strip planning down to the basics. We teach you how to choose qualified vendors, budgeting for your particular needs, organization and the critical 30 Day countdown. Join us as we bring you the best vendors in Southern California sharing their expertise with you. Our workshops are NOT a bridal show. Nothing to buy, no hardsell. Only free advice! Why would we do this? Because there is alot of bad advice out there and we want all brides to have a positive planning experience, whether they decide to use a planner or not.

Wedding Jeannie is renewed and ready to take 2010 by the tail. Why not come along with us? We accept a limited number of weddings per year. This means we are booking up quickly. What does that mean to you? It means we can focus our energy and expertise on your wedding and individual needs.

We wish to congratulate you on your engagement. You have an exciting 2010 ahead of you. If you find that you need the assistance of a qualified, creative and enthusiastic team of wedding planners, call us today. We can’t wait to be your partner in planning.
