February Wedding in Fremont/ Pleasanton

The weather was not cooperating the entire week, and we started to get worried and preparing for plan B. Miraculously, on the morning of the wedding day, the rain stopped and the sun came out just right before the bride arrived to her outdoor ceremony site at the Palmdale Estates in Fremont. The rest of the day, the weather stayed warm and beautiful. The perfect day ended with a formal reception at the Castlewood Country Club.

Sense Spa at the Rosewood Hotel

I had the privilege to try the Sense Spa located in the newest five star Rosewood Hotel in Menlo Park. I love everything about it and had a wonderful experience there. The day when I was there it was completely empty and I had the whole space to myself!

They offer many packages and treatments. For weddings, they have packages designed just for the groom and for the bride, as well as a package called girlfriend's fun time, which is perfect for a bridal shower. Not sure what kind of gifts to buy for your bridal party? Why not purchase some gift certificates? I am sure they will love it! Currently, they are offering a special package called Sand Hill Retreat: Two Night Package for Two at $599. Take your love one here for a mini getaway!

Bridal show in Menlo Park

A bridal charity show called "Bella Intima," will be held 1 to 5 p.m. April 18 at the Allied Arts Guild, 75 Arbor Road, Menlo Park.

The event is being organized in part by Patty Lee, a certified wedding planner and founder of 8events in Mountain View.

"Together, Allied Arts Guild and I have gathered 45 amazing Bay Area wedding professionals who have passion and love for what they do," Lee said, adding that all proceeds from Bella Intima will be donated to the Lucile Packard Children's Hospital at Stanford.

The event will feature complimentary hors d'oeuvres, desserts and champagne. The latest wedding trends, a bridal show, decoration ideas and raffle drawings also will be featured. Free admission and special goody bags will be available to the first 300 brides-to-be who RSVP.

January wedding in San Francisco

In January, 8events provided the planning and flower arrangements for an intimate celebration with a color scheme of browns and sage with splashes of pale pink. The bride’s Japanese heritage added an extra beauty to the wedding with Japanese line dancing, favors, and the beautiful kimono she wore as she entered the reception. The couples family and friends flew in from all over the world just to be there for this special day.

The bride and groom prepared for the day at the chic Westin Hotel in San Francisco, and we were able to arrange a memorable "revealing for the first time" for the bride and groom in the Westin’s modern lobby. The Ceremony was held at the Chapel of Our Lady in the Presidio. To set the mood, we had a trio playing music softly in the background. Following the ceremony, the guests enjoyed exceptional food and service at the Mandarin Hotel in downtown San Francisco.
