Sage Green Swanner House Wedding in San Juan Capistrano

Guests arrived at the Swanner House for Brittany and Chandler’s wedding, signed the guest book, dropped off their gifts at the welcome table, then headed back to the open lawn area to find a seat for the ceremony. White chairs were lined perfectly in rows and white floral arrangements marked the front and back of the aisle. Once everyone was in attendance, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Brittany dressed in a tulle wedding gown. In front of all their closest friends and loving family, Brittany and Chandler recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Gloria’s Caramelized Bacon Wrapped Franks, Gorgonzola and Caramelized Onion Bruschetta, and Fried Chicken and Waffle Bites made their rounds for cocktail hour while the bar served up the newlywed’s signature drinks, a Paloma and Dirty Shirley. While everyone mixed and mingled, the bride and groom posed together for photos during golden hour, and just as the sun began to set, everyone found their seats for reception.

Tables were topped with sage green accents and white floral details. Chandler and Brittany made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Toasts were shared while BBQ Boneless Chicken, Sliced Beef Brisket, Gourmet Mashed Potatoes, Macaroni and Cheese, Warm Skillet Corn Bread, and Caesar Salad was served. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Brittany. Afterwards, the couple cut into their marble wedding cake and invited their guests to indulge in a slice along with a selection of S’more Macarons, Gourmet Rice Krispy Treats, Chocolate Ganache Brownies, Strawberry Shortcakes, and Fresh Baked Chocolate Chip Cookies from our All American Dessert Station. The evening ended with lots of dancing and a celebratory bubble send off for Brittany and Chandler.
