Tangerine Dream Estate on Second Wedding

March 18, 2025

Bryan suited up in the Studio downstairs at The Estate on Second while Monica got ready and slipped into her wedding dress upstairs in the Bridal Suite. When both the bride and groom were ready, Bryan met Monica in the Bridal Suite for their first look. Monica pulled the dressing curtain back and stepped out to tap Bryan on the shoulder signaling him to turn around. Smiles filled their faces when they saw each other for the first time that day. Sweet compliments were exchanged, photos were taken, then the wedding party lined up for the ceremony.

Guests signed the bride and groom’s guest book, then found a seat under sparkling chandeliers in the Crystal Ballroom where orange and peach flowers decorated the ceremony space. Once everyone was seated, the wedding party made their entrances. In front of all their closest friends and family, Bryan and Monica recited their vows, exchanged rings, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.

Beef Picadillo Empanadas, Crab Cakes, and Thai Chicken Spring Rolls were tray passed, and a Charcuterie Tray was available for cocktail hour while the bar served up Hawaiian Mule and Lemon Drop signature drinks. Everyone mixed and mingled until it was time to head back into the Crystal Ballroom for the reception.

Tables were topped with candlesticks and fresh floral bud vases matching the orange theme. Monica and Bryan made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Ensalada Las Mesas, Classic Filet Mignon, Roasted Atlantic Salmon, Roasted Asparagus, and Gourmet Mashed Potatoes were served while family and friends shared toasts. The dinner menu was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Arielle. After diner, the newlyweds cut into their wedding cake and invited guests to indulge in something sweet for dessert. The evening ended with lots of photos with the bride and groom and many well wishes shared.
