news + press :: july’s networking meeting at l’auberge del mar

It was a hot day in Del Mar, but when you’re dining at the amazing L’auberge Hotel, somehow you “forget where you are!”

For July’s networking luncheon, we traveled to this amazing resort, located on the beach in historic Del Mar.  The hotel is well-known as one of the most elegant wedding venues in San Diego, and after dining and touring the property, we understand why.

The meals, (we had a choice of three), were made-to-order, so needless to say, we all felt pretty special.  But when you go to L’auberge, is there any other way to feel?

We heard this meeting from one of our newer wedding coordinators, Coastyle Events, and the ladies gave us insight into their relatively young but highly accomplished business.  The two owners really do compliment one another very nice!

It may have been oppressively hot, we were under the shade on this hotel’s amazing property/  Great food; good networking, and informative presentations!

real wedding :: wendy + john

When you meet that special someone, you just know.  And, for Wendy and John, even though they lived across the country when they met, their love could not be broken by distance.  This super sweet couple met at a barbecue, and for the first few years of their relationship, they managed long distance, with John in New Hampshire and Wendy in San Diego!!

Yet the distance would not be forever.  The couple married at the gorgeous La Jolla Woman’s Club this spring and their bright, yellow sunshine-themed wedding perfectly complimented the happiness that this couple represents. With the help of wedding coordinator and WOD vendor, Ann’s Plans, Wendy got a lot of her ideas for decor from Pinterest.   Wendy loved the Billy Balls in her bouquet and that inspired a lot of the designs.

The food was provided by another WOD vendor, Personal Touch Dining.

Wendy and John’s happy ending?… after the wedding, Wendy and her Mom moved to New Hampshire to be with John and his work!
