Arcadia High Prom 2010

Tuesday, April 27th, 2010


Arcadia High hosted Prom 2010 at Villa Siena on April 24.   The prom committee hired a stiltwalker and court jester to add to the ambience at the Villa.    Prom attendees were decked out in gorgeous gowns and tuxes.  One creative student made her own dress out of Candy buttons and Wrappers!  Formal photos were taken out on the European courtyard while deserts were served in Chianciano.    Tables set on the Chianciano courtyard allowed prom goers to chat with their friends and enjoy the entertaiment when taking a break from dancing.   The Grand Ballroom at Villa Siena was definitely the hot spot for dancing.   Check out this brief slideshow of the evening.

Christine & Kyle were married at Villa Siena on March 20, 2010.  Christine is involved in a local band  – look for the photo of her with her band members  ~ lots of character and even a pink mohawk!  In keeping with her non-traditional nature,  Christine chose a piece by “Kings of Leon” to accompany her down the aisle.   A family member baked Mexican Wedding Cookies as a favor for all the guests.   Kyle’s background in management helped him keep everything on track the day of the wedding.  His wedding coordinator, Hope,  commented that he was a great help keeping eveyrone moving and right on schedule.  We wish Christine and Kyle happiness in their future together.  Rock on…..  Photography compliments of Lasting Images.

Roshen & Ajay ~ Jan 22, 2010

Wednesday, April 21st, 2010

Roshen & Ajay had an incredible 2 day wedding celebration on January 21st and 22nd.   Ajay is Catholic and Roshen is Hindu so they planned a celebration that included a full catholic ceremony at Saint Mary’s Basilica and then hosted a lovely reception at The Foothills Golf Club.   The second day, a full scale traditional Hndu ceremony and celebration was held at Villa Siena.    The morning ceremony lasted about 2 hours and was replete with a large scale Mandup and all the traditional aspects of a Hindu wedding ceremony.  The 250 guests were treated to a lovely luncheon of authentic Indian Cuisine.    In keeping with the Indian tradition, guests went home for a rest while Ajay and Roshen went to Ajay’s home for a family ceremony.   At sunset, approximately 300 guest returned to Villa for a spectacular wedding celebration.    At cocktail hour, guests were treated to several choreographed dances, both by the couple as well as Roshen’s sister, Nisha.      Roshen’s vision of a breathtaking banquet was realized when  guests entered the tented courtyard to see thousands of twinkling lights, crystal centerpieces and an elegant combination of black,  hot pink and silver.    The tent, provided by Tri-Rentals held out the few scattered showers that evening.    Bon Cuisine, Villa Siena’s in-house caterer wowed guests with a delicious array of Indian and American dishes.   Finally, the entire group had some serious fun dancing before the end of a perfect evening.    The wedding coordinators  at Villa Siena worked with Jeanne at Events Your Way to be certain that the event went smoothly and that the myriad of details were taken care of.   Ben Quillian took care of photography for the entire 2 day event.   The lovely vidoe above was created by Seredipity Videography, a favorite with many Villa Siena couples.   Roshen and Ajay are back to their very busy lives with Ajay returning to work in the Bay Area and Roshen finishing up law school.   We wish them the best in their future.
