“The Perfect Venue”
The definition of that term is different for every couple, and locating such a place is usually the first obstacle on the road of wedding planning. When I initially sat down with Sarah & David, they had been struggling with the venue issue for some time. However, right about the time many people start to think of eloping, they found the Culver Hotel.
The Historic Culver Hotel, Culver City California
Rich in history and brimming with 1920’s architectural charm, this gem of a venue was the answer to their every hope, and the perfect backdrop for their intimate, romantic wedding.

That dress! Swoon!!

The ceremony was held in the gorgeous hotel lobby, an area so full of natural charm and beauty that very little extra décor was needed, so the couple chose simple floral with earthy elements that incorporated Sarah’s love of succulents.

Immediately following the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails in the vintage chic hotel lounge, as the lobby was converted to host an evening of dining, dancing and delectable cake provided by Jamaica’s Cakes.

When a couple really connects with their wedding venue, it creates something magical that’s actually tangible, and you can see the sparkle of that connection in Sarah & David’s beautiful photos. I’m so happy they found such a special place, and honored to have been a part of their celebration.
