Weddings

The stage is yours – It’s time for your wedding day debut!

As a young girl, many of us dream of two things; becoming a ballerina and the day we walk down the aisle. I know I did/do. Our childhood dream to become a ballerina and bride has finally come true. From gowns to accessories to hairstyles, you will obtain dazzling ideas for your wedding in the world of ballet. One of the most iconic ballerina fashions is the tutu skirt. Show off that perfect neckline and drape your body in a soft flowing chiffon skirt combined with a bodice made for a queen. The light layers of chiffon will make any bride feel as if she is floating on air. What a stunning style for a wedding gown! But let’s complete the picture. Sweep that hair off your face into the [...]

They can turn a dull space into a lively, colorful and energetic room. They exemplify your taste and style, and enhance the entire look of your day. You guessed it, I'm talking about the flowers.

How do you choose the right florist? Here are few tips when scouting them out. Ask Around There’s more value in a word-of-mouth referral from a friend or family member than any advertisement.

Wedding Photography Styles – Which One Suites You Best?

The unfortunate thing about you big day is, well... its only one day. After the cake has been cut, the flowers have wilted away and the last favor is stuffed into your Aunt's purse, the photographs are all that remain. That being said, it makes the pictures pretty important! But where do you begin? Start with considering the looks of different photos. Which types of pictures immediately catch your eye? Traditional/Classic These are the pictures that stand the test of time. Striking, gorgeous, and a bit formal. They usually consist of posed and pre-planned shots.

Kristina & Tom – October 10, 2015

EID Photography Kristina & Tom – October 10, 2015 Venue: West Hills Country Club Photographer: EID Photography "You'll be my glass of wine, I'll be your shot of whisky" I met Kristina in 1989 - yes, you heard me, 1989. I was 3 months old, Kristina was 16 months old. Her mom Lynne, was my babysitter. Kristina was and is the big sister I never had, and her brother Frankie, the big brother my younger sister and I never had. We rode our bikes, went to the park, played hop-scotch in the driveway, went trick-or-treating, and my most vivid memory, eating shaped macaroni and cheese, cheese doodles and Dunkaroos while watching Rugrats (My mom never let my sister and I eat shaped macaroni and cheese. She always just bought the boring regular [...]

My Top Ten Wedding Tips

“A wedding is a party, not a performance. If at the end of the day you are married to the one you love, then everything went perfectly.” Give Yourself Time The average couple begins planning their wedding 12-16 months out. Giving yourself extra time really helps to keep stress levels down. It gives you the ability to get tons of stuff done early and time to save for the things that you may really want. You only get to plan your wedding once, so enjoy it! Be Present On your wedding day, soak up all the love, joy and bliss! I often tell my couples to take a step back, look in the mirror and reflect. With all the chaos that goes into planning your most special day, its easy to lose sight of [...]

You May Now Kiss Each Other

“I may not be your first date, your first kiss, or your first love, and that's fine, because I just want to be your last.” I recently read a short article about the famous line "You may now kiss the bride." I never thought too much about the actual words before - usually the excitement of the first kiss gets me :), but this got me thinking. For centuries, the lingo has always been that way, but digging into the words deeper, it feels like this moment is simply focused on one person. Well, what about the other person? Don't you think this moment is something that they should share together? Thinking of it this way, wouldn't it be nice for kiss to be pronounced in a different way? "You may now kiss each [...]

Hana & Bobby | May 29, 2015 | West Hills Country Club

Hana & Bobby – May 29, 2015 Venue: West Hills Country Club Photographer: Kevin Ferguson Photography "Your love is like the best cup of coffee...Comforting to my spirit, Soothing to my soul, Stimulating to my heart, While warming me all over." I met Hana and Bobby back in June of 2014, and I'd be lying if I said fate didn't bring them here. They had looked around at a couple other venues, but just couldn't find that unique, non-catering hall venue that they were looking for. Around this time, my boyfriend and I began searching for a place to move in together, and after countless internet searches, we just couldn't find anything that met our needs. Well, after giving the happy couple a tour of our beautiful grounds, I started to gather additional contact [...]

Marissa & Pat – June 14, 2015

Marissa & Pat - June 14, 2015 Venue: West Hills Country Club Photographer: Owl's Eye Studios "When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible." Lucky for me, I help many couples plan their special day - but this one was extra special. Marissa and I went to High School together (Yay Monroe-Woodbury, Class of 2007!). Though we didn't really know each other then, or hang in the same circles, it wasn't long after meeting with Marissa when searching for a wedding venue in September of 2014, that a friendship began to form.  Getting to be a part of a friends' wedding day is the best feeling in the world. Thank you Marissa and Pat [...]

You Dream It… We Create It

The Grand Outdoor Ballroom at West Hills is most commonly used to host weddings... but it doesn't stop there. If you have a vision, West Hills can make it happen. Last Saturday we hosted a Bat Mitzvah and let me tell you, you would not have even recognized the tent!   Carnival games with prizes, a big screen TV, exotic table pieces and delicious food were all a part of Saturday's exciting event! Outside party suppliers were hired to help make the client's vision come to life and West Hills was the perfect place to host it. We can hold many different types of events- give us a call to set up a tour of the Outdoor Ballroom and let the party planning begin!
