Nicole & Matthew’s Review of Villa Siena

Wednesday, November 30th, 2011

Take a look at these wonderful words that we received from Nicole & Matthew Kortsen along with a little not from the Mother of the bride.

“No detail was too trivial for attention by Yvonne or Amy. I couldn’t have asked for more dedicated professional and lifesaving guidance! There are so many details that never would have occurred to me that were taken care of and/or addressed before I had time to worry about them. INDISPENSIBLE!!!” ~ Nicole & Matthew

“As the mother of the bride, I was thrilled with Villa Siena. ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!”

It was a pleasure working with Nicole & Matthew and both their families!

Abby and Adam were married on October 22, 2011 in a lovely outdoor ceremony.   The wedding party included mostly siblings of Abby and Adam.  Wow~ what a handsome group!   Formal black attire and linens made a perfect backdrop to the various shades of pink (hot pink and pale pink) in the floral design.      Abby was stunning the entire day in her strapless beaded wedding dress, which laced up the back.    Her hair was in a flawless up-do, completing her perfect look.    Abby and Adam offered their guests a huge array of candy treats for guests to enjoy during the reception as well as a cupcake tower filled with chocolate, vanilla, and red velvet cupcakes.   In order to be able to “get down” on the dance floor, Abby slipped out of her hot pink crystal studded heels into sparkly white Bridal Toms! What a great idea! Abby and Adam’s wedding made such an impression on us because of the way in which both sides of the family truly made it a point to thank each other and express how happy they were to now be one huge family.  Congratulations Abby and Adam, we wish you a long happy life together!

Nicole and Matthew were married here at Villa Siena on a lovely fall day, October 15, 2011. Their beautiful outdoor ceremony was tastefully designed with a mix of floral and candles in shades of violet, fuchsia, and tangerine throughout.  The ceremony and cocktail hour featured a string quartet which sounded beautiful and could be appreciated during quiet touching moments such as the lighting of the unity candle. Nicole and Matthew’s reception was such fun with lots of activities including “The Newlywed Game” and the famous… Conga Line! The room itself was nothing short of breathtaking, with gorgeous, colorful linen, floral and candles each table.    Nicole and Matthew’s illuminated centerpieces were paired with candles throughout the room, creating an amazing glow!   At the end of the night, family and friends sent the couple away with a beautiful sparkler shower and many well wishes! Congratulations Nicole and Matthew.  It was such a pleasure to be a part of your special day!

Ashlee and Josh celebrated their October 13, 2011 marriage with a lovely LDS Come and Go reception here at Villa Siena.    Ashlee and Josh had some beautiful photos taken prior to the day of the wedding which were on display for guests to view as they entered the reception area.    An adorable video of the couple was also playing for guests to enjoy while waiting to visit with the newlyweds.   Ashlee and Josh’s guest book was a charming picture book in which guests could write their well wishes around each photo.    A fabulous buffet overflowing with Mexican food, fruit and other favorites was set up outdoors on this perfect Arizona October weather.     Guests were also delighted to see a candy table filled with tantalizing sweet choices!   At the end of the night, the couple was sent off by their friends and family in a spectacular sparkler shower! Congratulations Ashlee and Josh and best wishes from Villa Siena!

Oliviah and Nicholas were married here at Villa Siena on October 6, 2011 in a beautiful and very spiritual outdoor ceremony.    During the ceremony, the bride and groom took a moment to present roses to their mothers to thank and honor them.   It was a very touching moment for both families.   Oliviah and Nicholas chose various shades of purple for their color scheme and planned for many beautiful floral pieces throughout the venue.   There were also cute purple flowers on top of each cupcake found on their six tier cupcake tower. In addition these tasty desserts, each guest also received candy mints as a thank you for coming to support the couple on their special day.  Oliviah and Nicholas were such a gracious couple who truly appreciated the fact that so many of their friends and family were helping them celebrate that they spent the majority of their time talking with the guests.   Congratulations Oliviah and Nicholas, it was a pleasure to host your wedding! We wish you a long and happy marriage!
