Kicking of 2016 with a garden themed wedding in the heart of Orange, California.  Kirsti and Ryan are all about traditions, and had a beautiful Catholic ceremony at the bride’s hometown church.  It was a lovely ceremony shared with their very close friends and family. They later joined their  150 guests at their reception at The Villa Banquet Facility  where they danced the night away.

Kirsti and Ryan incorporated many DIY elements such a fun and festive candy bar, cute “K” and “L” letters, and adorable signs for their signature drink, guest book, instagram hashtag, and candy bar. Kirsti and Ryan also added in their love for baseball into their wedding day in a fun way. The bride played catch with her dad, and then her dad handed it off to the groom. The game of catch continued with the bride and groom. It was such a sweet moment!

The wedding featured some other great moments such as a In and Out Burger snack for the bride and groom, a live mariachi band, dancing, and lots of laughter.  This wedding was all about family love.

What a wonderful day!  Congrats to Kristi and Ryan!

Client Testimonial:

As we started to plan our wedding, we knew there’d be a lot of decisions we’d have to make. Choosing Niloufar Gibson at Perfectly Made Weddings as our wedding coordinator was the best and easiest decision we made! At our very first meeting, Niloufar was there early and already set up when we got there. She asked us all the right questions and was able to answer all of our questions. In addition to being very knowledgeable, she was fun to talk to and was genuinely excited for us.

Throughout the process, Niloufar made sure we were on track with everything and helped us book vendors and gathered all the contracts so we wouldn’t have to worry about anything. We knew we could go to her with any question that came up too–whether it was to help choose which colors to use for the linens or to make sure the contracts didn’t have anything missing. Communication was not an issue at all as she got back to us in a timely manner and was available to us via email, text, phone call and even to meet in person!

She was also very organized and remembered all the details about our wedding. While most brides stress about planning a wedding, I completely enjoyed the planning process because I had Niloufar by my side.

As the wedding day got closer, she made sure everything was finalized so we were extremely confident that we weren’t missing a thing. And on the day of the wedding, Niloufar handled everything perfectly. She calmed my nerves before the ceremony and kept everything on schedule. Our ceremony took place at our church and the reception followed at a separate venue but Niloufar did a wonderful job of coordinating it all. If there was any issue, we never even knew about it because everything turned out perfectly. Not once did we have to worry about things like moving the gifts to the car, storing our items like pictures, guest book, etc. because Niloufar was on top of it all. Thank you so much Niloufar for curating a perfectly made wedding for us! We couldn’t have done it without you!
