Christmas Themed Wedding at the Casino San Clemente

Guests arrived at a Christmas decorated Casino San Clemente for cocktail hour after Hannah and Noah tied the knot at their church. A cozy lounge snuggled up to the outdoor fireplace where stockings hung and a Christmas tree on the steps really tied the theme together. Gloria’s Caramelized Bacon Wrapped Franks, Gorgonzola and Caramelized Onion Bruschetta, and Fried Chicken and Waffle Bites were tray passed while drinks were served. Guests mixed and mingled, and the newlyweds posed for golden hour photos until it was time for reception.

Inside, the Grand Ballroom was transformed into a Christmas wonderland. Chandeliers and red draping hung from the ceiling, Christmas trees decorated in lights bordered the stage where a live band was playing music, and tables were topped with warm red flowers and pine. Once everyone was seated, Hannah and Noah made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, and took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared, then BBQ Boneless Chicken, Sliced Beef Brisket, Gourmet Mashed Potatoes, Panko Crusted Mac n Cheese, Warm Skillet Corn Bread, and BBQ Chopped Salad was served. The menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. After dinner, the newlyweds cut into their personal white wedding cake with cappuccino creme filling and invited their guests to indulge in our All American Dessert Station with a collection of S’more Macarons, Gourmet Rice Krispy Treats, Chocolate Ganache Brownies, Strawberry Shortcakes, and Fresh Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies. After eating their fill, everyone headed to the dance floor to show off their moves. Fun light-up props were distributed, and guests had a great time celebrating with Hannah and Noah. Outside, a cigar bar was stationed so guests could step away from the celebration and enjoy a moment to relax. Due to all the evening excitement, guests worked up an appetite and the bride and groom surprised their guests with a late night snack of Meat Lovers Mini Pizzas. The evening ended with many well wishes shared and plenty of memories to look back on.
