Peachy Boho Casino San Clemente Wedding

Jill and her bridesmaids got ready in the bridal suite while Spencer and his groomsmen suited up inside the West Wing at the Casino San Clemente. Once Jill had slipped into her wedding gown, she headed outside to meet her groom in front of the venue for their first look. On the count of three, the two saw each other for the first time that day and smiles filled their faces. Sweet compliments were exchanged, and the couple wandered around posing for pictures together, then were joined by their wedding party. The groomsmen wore white and tan and the bridesmaids were dressed in champagne colored dresses. After group photos, everyone lined up for ceremony just as guests started arriving.

Peachy floral arrangements decorated the mantle in the Rock Garden and matching arrangements marked the back of the aisle. Once all the guests had arrived, the wedding party made their entrances and took their places. In front of all their family and friends, Spencer and Jill read personalized vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss as guests cheered from their seats. The newlyweds then led the celebratory charge into cocktail hour.

Beer and wine were flowing while Crab Cake, Sesame Shrimp and Mango Spring Roll, and Seared Ahi on Wonton Chip hors d’oeuvres made their rounds around the Patio of the Stars. While guests mixed and mingled, the bride and groom headed to the beach for romantics. Upon their return, everyone had found their seats inside for reception.

Boho-inspired décor filled the room and fresh floral centerpieces topped each table. Jill and Spencer made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, and took a seat at their sweetheart table for toasts. Huli Huli Chicken and Sesame Ginger Beef with Coconut Lime Rice, Wasabi Mashed Potatoes, and Stir Fry Vegetables was served for dinner. The menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. While everyone enjoyed dinner, friends and family shared toasts. After dinner, the newlyweds cut into their wedding cake and invited their guests to indulge in our Old Fashioned Cookie Assortment for dessert. The rest of the evening was spent posing in the photo booth and dancing out on the dance floor.
