Cheers to Love at Hangar 21 South

Justin and Eugenie met on the tarmac at Hangar 21 South, but let’s rewind a few minutes. Justin was awaiting his beautiful bride for their first look when one of his groomsmen walked out holding two beers in her place. He tapped Justin’s shoulder and when Justin turned around it wasn’t Eugenie standing in front of him, but his groomsman with Modelos in hand. The two had a drink before Justin turned around for his actual first look. Eugenie walked up in her gorgeous white wedding gown and hugged her groom when he turned to see her. Right after their first look, group shots including the bridesmaids in their light pink dresses and the groomsmen in their black tuxedos were taken. After prime photo moments in front of the Hangar 21 helicopter, the wedding party made their way to the outdoor ceremony terrace. Eugenie walked arm in arm with her father to the head of the aisle where a circular, golden ceremony backdrop with greenery and white roses stood behind Justin. The two exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony and guests cheered as the newlyweds shared a kiss.

Cocktail hour began with tray passed Thai Chicken Spring Rolls with Thai Peanut Sauce and Caprese Skewers with Pesto and Basil. As everyone mingled and sipped on the couple’s signature cocktails: Old Fashioned and Washington Apple Martini, Justin and Eugenie took off on their helicopter flight over So Cal while the sun was setting. Guests were ushered to their seats just before Justin and Eugenie touched down for their grand entrance. More greenery topped each table and the romantic, mid-century modern sweetheart table was dressed in navy fabric draped across and greenery water-falling to the ground. The newlyweds danced their way into the venue where first dances were shared, and toasts were made before dinner. Pear and Walnut Salad, Santorini Chicken, Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano, Artichoke Mashed Potatoes, Vegetables Broccolini and Jasmine Rice was served before everyone hit the dance floor. After dancing, the bouquet toss, garter toss and cake cutting, guests worked up an appetite, so an In-N-Out truck parked on the tarmac for late-night snacks.
