Orange Summer Wedding at The Casino San Clemente

Lauren and Garrett met at the Casino San Clemente for their first look on the morning of their wedding. A tap of the shoulder turned Garrett around to see his beautiful bride standing before him. The couple shared personal vows, then were joined by their wedding party. The bridesmaids were dressed in pinks, oranges, and tans, and the groomsmen wore navy. Together the group posed for the camera creating lasting memories before the ceremony.

Guests signed the bride and groom’s guest book and found a seat in the Rock Garden. Orange flowers decorated the fireplace mantle and aisle. As soon as everyone was in attendance, the music cued up and the wedding party made their entrances. Together in front of their closest friends and family, Lauren and Garrett recited vows, exchanged rings, and shared a kiss to seal their ceremony.

Filet and Wild Mushroom Wellingtons, Crab Cakes, and Thai Vegetable Spring Rolls were tray passed for cocktail hour on the Patio of the Stars. While guests mixed and mingled, the bride and groom wandered around the venue posing for pictures together as husband and wife. Upon their return, it was time for reception.

Inside, tables were topped with tall candlesticks and bud vases filled with orange flowers. The newlyweds made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, and took a seat at their sweetheart table. Tangerine and Pecan Salad was served just as toasts started. Family and friends stood and shared their favorite memories of the bride and groom. Glasses clinked in the air and the entrée course consisting of Chicken Veronique and Short Rib Rotolo Bolzano with Haricot Verts and Gourmet Mashed Potatoes was served concluding dinner service. The menu was selected by Garrett and Lauren with help from our event specialist, Brittany. After dinner, everyone was invited to indulge on our Cookies and Milk Shots for dessert, then hit the dance floor. The evening ended with lots of shared dances and many good times to forever cherish.
