In my humble opinion, The Terrace at Willow Glen was dressed to impress this past Saturday night. Many hours of planning and countless details bared their fruits on this last day of Spring.
The bride, Priya, was awesome to work with. She assembled a first class team of Bay Area wedding professionals to carry her vision through.

Blanca Samano, of A Touch of Elegance, took the reigns as the wedding planner. Her work was cut out for her as she coordinated the ceremony and reception. I have had the honor and pleasure of working with Blanca on other occasions. Her demeanor is such that she is not one of these "in your face" coordinators, but of a kind and caring person that remains in control, and is flexible. Any time that Blanca is coordinating a wedding where we are at, I know she has our back, and we gladly have hers! By the way....She also does elegant chair covers, too.

Another key team player was AA Enterprises. Alma Avila and her staff spent about 12 hours the day before the wedding decorating The Terrace at Willow Glen. They provided the draping swag with lights across the ceiling forming a canopy to cover the nearly 6000 square foot banquet room. AA Enterprises provided the crush orange overlays as well as the chair covers. The room looked incredible! Alma consistantly amazes our customers and wows everyone with her work. Alma also provides service staffing and party rentals.

I would also like to include Raffi from Sound in Motion for a huge contribution to the overall look of the room. The aqua color uplighting cans were provided by Sound in Motion. We had worked a fundraiser together a few months ago, and started talking about that the Terrace's ambience would be jazzed up by the addition of his new canned LED lighting. Raffi couldn't have been more right. The bride was absolutely ecstatic when she walked into the room.
Sound in Motion is primarily known for their professional DJ service for weddings, the 49ers, Sharks, Earthquakes, SF Giants, and Stealth. They also offer award-winning videography for any special event. I have personally seen what they can do with their lighting rigs to set the mood for any party, whether it is an elegant wedding, a nightclub scene, or a trip to the stars. It is no less than spectacular.

Everyone was really in for a treat as far as entertainment goes. Mambo Tropical provided live Salsa music. They played three sets and truly got everyone on their feet.

In between the band sets was the DJ music provided by MusicBox Entertainment. The owner, Joe Scaramuzzino performed the gig himself, and did an excellent job! I found it very impressive that he came out and did a site visit a few weeks before the wedding, and was very much into how he could make Robert and Priya's wedding better. This was my first time working with Joe, and hopefully we will work together again in the future.

The flowers for the bridal party and head table were beautifully arranged by Sunshine Flowers. Frank Cabral, the owner, personally designed, delivered, and setup the florals. No wonder we like him, he started off in the wedding business as a caterer!

With such an incredible evening at hand, it most certainly should have been caught on video. And it was! Jose Bucaro from Eclipse Productions caught it all on tape. With 25 years in the business, Priya and Robert can count on Jose to bring their wedding day to life anytime they want.
