San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Wedding » San Francisco, California by Vivian Chen

Nick and Ted patiently waited a whole year before they were able to finally have the wedding celebration of their dreams. While they were married in a small ceremony earlier in the year, they still wanted to have a party with their friends and family. With the help of an amazingly talented vendor team, Camille of Dream a Little Dream Events helped Nick and Ted put together a cocktail party fit for their modernist aesthetics. The day began with a few portraits of the couple around the SF MOMA, making sure to visit the Alexander Calder exhibit, one of their favorites. Afterwards, we headed up to the rooftop cafe where Nick and Ted were overwhelmed with emotion when they finally saw their years of hard work come together. (Camille was there to give them big hugs!) After a quick but heartfelt speech by the couple, guests were treated to cocktails and multiple food stations expertly catered by Betty Zlatchin and their team. As the evening wound down, Nick and Ted kicked off the dance party with a sweet first dance before opening up the dance floor. Desserts and drinks kept the guests happy as everyone celebrated into the evening surrounded by the soft glow of the city lights around them.

Community Focused Trocadero Clubhouse Stern Grove Wedding » San Francisco by Vivian Chen

When Rosa and Liberty toured San Francisco's Trocadero Clubhouse in Stern Grove, they knew it would be the perfect venue for their intimate 80 person wedding. With family in both Chicago and Los Angeles, they wanted a place that would showcase Northern California. Stern Grove's redwood and eucalyptus grove provided the perfect backdrop for their outdoor ceremony, officiated by a close friend of the couple. The celebration moved indoors to the clubhouse where Rosa's floral designs brightened the space and Native Catering kept everyone well fed with delicious barbecue. The party wrapped up with coffee and donuts from Oakland's Donut Savant and a dance party that continued into the evening.
