The Wedding of Joe and Staci 8/14/10

The Wedding of Joe and Staci was held at the historical Padua Hills Theatre in Claremont. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking, but simply add gorgeous decor from Carol's Secret Garden and you have an elegant affaire!

Joe and Staci envisioned black with touches of red to showcase this stunning venue. Carol draped chiffon fabric down the aisle adding pops of red in the floral decor. The Gazebo was complete with an amazing black and crystal chandelier which hung over the couple as they said their vows.

The theatre was elegant and dramatic with black iridescent crush table linens and ruby satin napkins from Elegant Design Specialty Linens which were rich and romantic against the gorgeous wood of the floor and the deep mahogany Chivari chairs.

Carol's stunning centerpieces at alternating levels of height gave the room depth and interest from any angel.

The walls of the room were complete with a gorgeous red color wash created by Entertainment Express who also provided incredible emcee & DJ entertainment for the guests!

Guests were treated to a fun red and black themed sweet shop table filled with all of the favorites of Joe and Staci. The adults loved it just as much as the kids did! Staci's sister Kristi and I enjoyed decorating the jars to make them festive for this special surprise.

Another surprise was the photobooth from Four Quick Clicks. John Fitzpatrick is a pleasure to work with and his booth is top notch! He customized a banner for each of the pictures that matched the wedding invitation carrying out the overall theme!

HMC's Darrick is the designer of this fabulous placecard display. He takes so much pride in details like these which make our events so special!

Michelle Johnson Photography was on hand capturing all of the wonderful moments of the day which were only made more special by the surroundings of the newly rennovated Padua Hills Theatre! I know their album will be amazing!


All of the Cakes and Desserts at Padua Hills are made in house by their pastry chef Sheryl Lindolm. She takes an already decadent and mouthwatering cake and turns it into a work of art! It's always a shame to cut into them, but well worth it! YUM!

Thank you to all of the vendors who helped to create a magical and wonderful day for Joe and Staci!

Congratulations newlyweds, and thank you for giving HMC Event Solutions the honor of being part of this wonderful day in your lives!

The Wedding of Mike and Dianne - 7/24/10

HUNTINGTON BEACH, CA


The Wedding Reception of Mike and Dianne was held at the beautiful Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort in Huntington Beach. The venue itself is such a beautiful place for a wedding, but once you add gorgeous decor and incredible entertainment against the backdrop of the Pacific Ocean, it becomes an amazing event!






Dianne had a vision of Vintage Hollywood Glam incorporating silver, feathers, and pops of pink against a white and silver shimmering background... complete with plenty of bling!!




The Pacific Ballroom at the Hilton has long windows across the back wall with breathtaking views of the beach.

Shelby Nolan of Green Leaf Designs created stunning arrangements for the centerpieces alternating high and low designs which added wonderful depth to the room.

With the accent of the glimmering chair covers and linens from Creative Touch Linens, the "Glam" in Dianne's vision was brought to life!

Guests danced all night to the sounds of the incredible Steve Burdick of Steve Burdick Events who also provided gorgeous lighting which created a color wash of pink along the white walls of the room... really bringing the drama when night fell!

Mike and Dianne wanted their guests to show their fun and quirky sides in a photobooth complete with props! They love their guestbook which guests pasted their photos into and wrote personal messages. Everyone got a copy of their own photo to take home as a keepsake!

Tomgirl Baking Company designed a lovely wedding cake to compliment the overall scene. I am not a professional photographer, so my photos don't do this justice... but the cake shimmered and looked gorgeous against the sunlight overlooking the beach!

Please visit Turville Photography. Steve was amazing to work with and I cannot wait to see Mike and Dianne's finished album!



If the cake wasn't enough of a sweet treat, the night was made complete by a fountain of milk chocolate by Elegant Fondue to the surprise and delight of all of the guests. It gave the guests that last bit of energy to keep dancing the night away... and they did!

Thank you Mike and Dianne for having HMC Event Solutions as part of your wonderful wedding day! Congratulations!
