I love this stage of life. The world is their oyster… they can do anything they want in life… its a clean slate… and its a crossroads to a new journey that really needs to be captured!

Oceano Hotel in Half Moon Bay, California

Posted on November 19, 2014 | by Shanti

There are so many factors that makes this wedding venue just magical. It could be the awesome location which is a small fishing community snuggled in between mountains and ocean. It could be all the options to really customize your day from a lawn wedding, beach wedding or a classic ball room wedding you really can’t go wrong… pair that with options for your celebration party and you have an all inclusive magical event. But in all honesty, I think what really sells me on this amazing venue is how awesome the staff is at the Oceano Hotel. They truly bend over backwards to make your event stress free and memorable from the way they interact with the couple to the way they include the other vendors into their team, its definitely a recipe for a successful and stress free day.

LGBT aka Love

I hate even labeling this, but for the sake of search engines I will. Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Transsexual, or Heterosexual — when you take all the labels away and really look at what two people are experiencing, it really is all the same… love.

I love being a part of any love story, any way it’s told… end of story.

I want to get married again! Long Branch Saloon, Half Moon Bay, CA

Posted on April 24, 2012 | by Shanti

Yes, I said it! But not to anyone new… I think my husband and I could rock the Long Branch Saloon. Talk about a venue that covers it all. Kevin Palmer, the owner of Long Branch Saloon, has taken his passion to a new level. It is a picturesque, straight out of the movies, old western town feel nestled into the country side of the Half Moon Bay Coastline. He has done such a tasteful and artistic job of really bringing you back to the old days in a sweet and vintage sort of way. What I loved about the Long Branch Saloon is that you have a wedding that can be kept intimate but not confined… allowing for everyone to really enjoy the day. From bow in arrows, to miniature golf… to the old style gambling saloon complete with poker tables and roulette… if you are not a dancer, there is sure to be something for the young at heart to enjoy…. and if nothing else, kick back and enjoy the creation Mr. Palmer has pulled together… it truly is magnificent!

The couple, Vanessa and Jordan, also put their special touches on the day. From vintage wear to custom cocktails and games, this wedding was definitely a fun one!
