Danielle & Dennis ~ April 10, 2011

Danielle and Dennis decided on an outdoor ceremony for their April 10, 2011 wedding here at Villa Siena. They both chose a fun alternative for shoes….. Van sneakers! The bridesmaids wore lemongrass green which tied in perfectly with this edgy spring color scheme. Lemongrass, green and white were Danielle’s primary colors with an extra pop of teal. You could tell this duo to be quite artsy, the bride even made her own centerpieces!  Romantic candles set atop polished pebbles, surrounded by a vine wreath made for a unique and natural touch. Surrounded by friends and family, Danielle and Dennis danced the night away and it ended with a sparkler send off. We are so glad to be part of this beautiful wedding! Good luck to you both! <3

Kerri’s Mom & Dad had some wonderful things to say about their daughter’s wedding here at Villa Siena on April 16, 2011! “I cannot tell you how many compliments we received regarding Villa Siena! The compliments came in regarding the decor, the service, the barmaid, the food, you, and Amy.  Guests told me how helpful and sweet you were.  We were not surprised. We want to thank you for the warm and secure feelings.  We were so relaxed just knowing you were there.  We both thank you for being outstanding and for Villa Siena being such a classy, top notch, A+ class venue.  From the decor to the service and everyone involved, we are grateful for Kerri having found you! We will do our part from afar whenever we get the chance to promote Villa Siena.   I have already started!  You guys are awesome!  We have certainly opened the eyes for people who attended from the East Coast to appreciate the West.  Quite a few were astounded and can’t wait to return.  It would be our pleasure if our paths crossed again.  If ever we can be a reference for a new client, we would be happy to speak on your behalf.”  Barb and Bill Gray (Mother & Father of the Bride)

Kerri & Todd were married at Villa Siena on April 16, 2011 in La Stanza Chianciano. Kerri looked stunning in the same gown that both her mother and her grandmother wore! The bridesmaids were fabulous in long strapless gowns. Todd’s daughter was, of course, the perfect flower girl, trailing rose petals along the aisle.  Kerri’s choice of a champagne and pink color scheme along with a flutter of butterflies made this wedding delightful and charming. Dancing consumed most of the night and there was even a special dance/sing-a-long to Meatloaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light.” Very funny!  We hope the laughter from this evening carries on for years to come. We wish you the very best Kerri & Todd! <3

On April 17th, 2011 Elizabeth & Nate married in a vibrant outdoor ceremony in our Piazza Toscana courtyard. The color scheme was purple, fuchsia, and green which made this beautiful day even brighter. Elizabeth was wearing a gorgeous strapless gown and her bridesmaids, in black, were the picture of elegance. The groomsmen and Nate were very handsome, of course, in black suits complete with matching fuchsia boutonnieres. The couple carried on the Jewish tradition of breaking the glass which symbolizes the fragility of human happiness. It is clear that these two will be happy for years to come. Elvis was in the building on this special night when “Can’t Help Falling in Love” came on for Elizabeth & Nate’s first dance. Afterward, dancing and laughing consumed the rest of the evening. We wish you two the best! Congratulations Elizabeth and Nate! <3
