Jessica and Brandon were married at Villa Siena in a beautiful outdoor ceremony on October 1, 2011. Jessica wowed guests and her husband to be, when she strolled down the aisle in her gorgeous strapless sequin covered gown.  Jessica’s gown was complimented by a tasteful tiara in her fabulously coiffed hair.    Jessica and Brandon’s ceremony was beautiful in the way it highlighted not only a union between the two of them, but a union with Brandon’s sons Mason and Matthew as well.   Jessica and Brandon took part in a special wine ceremony in which they mixed two wines which they would drink together at the reception which followed. They also took that time to introduce and explain a wine box,  in which they had tucked away letters to each other that would be opened on their anniversary and read over a the bottle of wine which was also in the box.   The plan was for the couple to rewrite letters to each other each year and to seal them in the box until their next anniversary, continuing the yearly tradition. Jessica and Brandon’s touching ceremony was truly the bonding of a family which was to be “Together Today and Forever” as their engraved tags stated.  Congratulations Jessica and Brandon, it was an honor to be a part of your special day!

Christine & Lucas’ Review of Villa Siena

Monday, November 21st, 2011

“Hope was amazing, I dont know what I would have done without her. She made everything run smoothly and would let me know what was going on and what I was suppose to be doing. I was never felt wondering what do to next. The staff was PERFECT, they were constantly picking up and making sure everything was as clean as possible but very discrete when they would come and go. Everyone was polite and constantly checked on my husband and I to make sure we had exactly what we needed and were totally comfortable!’ ~ Christine & Lucas

Christine and Lucas were married at Villa Siena on October 24, 2011 in a beautiful outdoor ceremony with their closest friends and family.    Each guest was asked to make a wish for the couple and then transfer the wish to a stone which was then set in a lovely vase.    Christine and Lucas were able to take all the wishes home to remind them of all the lovely warm wishes at their wedding.   The courtyard was adorned in beautiful rose petals in shades of orange, yellow, and red, a lovely combination color scheme.  Christine was stunning in her strapless beaded gown and cathedral veil trailing along behind her.    Lucas was handsome in his tux and 50’s inspired dress shoes.    Christine and Lucas designed an elegant 4 tier all white cake for guests to enjoy with white piping and white leaves.    At the end of the night, the couple’s friends and family made an arch of sparklers for Christine and Lucas to run through! What a perfect send off! Congratulations Christine and Lucas! Best wishes from Villa Siena!

Maggie & Lowell ~ October 16, 2011

It was a beautiful October day to celebrate the union of Maggie & Lowell.  On October 16, 2011, the sun was shining bright while Maggie walked down the courtyard toward her husband, Lowell.   Maggie and Lowell are both currently stationed in Afghanistan working in I.T.    They took precious leave time to celebrate their marriage in style at Villa Siena with friends and family.   In military style, Lowell donned his full dress uniform, but Maggie opted for a lovely traditional white wedding gown.    The flower girls and ring bearer, however, were proud to be Americans in their military fatigues!  A harpists provided lovely musical numbers to accompany the bridal party and the bride down the aisle.    The reception was lovely with military inspired center pieces and flowers surrounding the ballroom.   The cake was unusual but beautiful with cupids, cherubs and hearts adorning the cake.   The couple’s first dance was a touching moment.  We wish you the very best in your future.  Take care of each other and be safe while serving our great nation in Afghanistan.   Congratulations!

Miranda and Cameron were married here at Villa Siena on October 20, 2011 in a beautiful outdoor ceremony covered with red rose petals.   The couple first met three and a half years ago while working together at Big 5 Sporting Goods.   Miranda’s sister, the Maid of Honor, reminisced during her toast about the day when Miranda secretly pointed out Cameron and said “I am going to marry that man one day.”  How cute is it that?   She knew he was “the one” before they even started dating!? Aubree, one of the bridesmaids, sang for the couple before the ceremony as well as during the sand ceremony.   Her voice was amazing and such a treat for guests to enjoy, adding a beautiful and personal touch to the wedding ceremony.     During the reception, Miranda and Cameron served delicious Paradise Bakery cookies and, of course, wedding cake.  Thank goodness Miranda and Cameron provided cameras for guests to capture so many fun moments while everyone let loose on the dance floor!  It will be such fun to develop the film and see what guests were able to capture.    At the end of the night, Miranda and Cameron were sent off to their limo through a spectacular sparkler arch made by friends and family. Congratulations Miranda and Cameron, we wish you a long happy marriage!  Have a great time at Disneyland for your honeymoon!
