From Coordinator, Diane:
I meet Susan and Jesse on a cool crisp fall morning, and the sun was glistening on the water. As we made our way across the expansive grass to the edge of the cliff Susan could not take her eyes off the view. I could tell right away she had found the perfect location for the wedding she had always dreamed of.
We started planning right way, getting all the thousands of logistics into place to throw a party, in the wilds of Big Sur for 80 of their closest friends and their families.
Family traveled from all over the world to take part in this very special celebration. The logistics were not difficult to handle because they both knew what they liked and what they wanted immediately. Susan never hesitated in her decisions or planning process.
The menu they served their guests was exquisite and bountiful. They put a lot of care and concern into making sure it was a true wedding feast. From the signature cocktail, each representing their beloved college Syracuse where they met and fell in love. To the mouth watering rack of lamb and all the way to the after hours party food of french fried sweet potatoes and parting gift of warm doughnut holes and vintage bottle of milk, they left no detail unattended.
The highlight of my night was watching them kiss and hug each guest good night and return to the dance floor, just the two of them, and have a private dance under a magnificent blanket of stars. The true love that shone from their eyes to each other simply and totally took my breath away.
