Gold and feathers say it best

A magical night was set upon us when all of the dreams came true for our lovely couple, Alan & Arniesa. The delightful wedding at the scenic Del Mar Powerhouse on the coast was definitely unforgettable for our newlyweds, their families and friends, who all united as one.

A sit down dinner for nearly 100 guests was executed flawlessly within 15 minutes. Our guests were given 4 different choices for their entreé, which didn’t slow down our service even a little. Professional staff and vendors made this night come together harmoniously and made our couple’s night. Remarkable designs with different rotating textures of linens, colors of gold, champagne, white roses with feathers and chargers made the night shine! The Manzanita Wish Tree complete with hanging clear crystals, provided by Artquest, was one of the most eye-catching and unique decors of the night. A vast variety provided at the candy bar surely pleased every sweet tooth as well. Up-lighting through the room set a romantic tone for the entire evening and gave it not only a spark at a glance, but also the feel of an intimate atmosphere. We wish our couple a happy honeymoon and love in the years to come!

A Del Mar Wedding at the Powerhouse

The first sunny day  in a month in Del Mar was the perfect gift for Tonya & Rich on their wedding day.The Del Mar Powerhouse was completely transformed by our Abbey team to delight guests. The tone was set with a casual, lounge-style ceremony. Tonya was beautiful in her dress & Rich dashing in his tuxedo. Everybody enjoyed the outdoor garden with some of the Abbey’s finest appetizers, complimented by our couples signature Pink Lemon Drop Cocktail, yummy! Ushered in and seated, our guests were then treated to a dramatic grand entrance down the stairwell straight into a sweetly perfect first dance. Dinner service was smooth and Rich and Ted , the best man, took a quick break to walk down to the beach with our bride riding high on a surfboard. Then the night was in full swing, toasts , dancing, and children running and laughing. Tonya and Rich, your friends and family were wonderful- my very best to you and the girls as you embark on your next journey.

Happy Honeymooning!
