Jolie & Tate's Wedding | Pacific Oaks Vineyard Estate

Sunny day is always good for wedding! Jolie and Tate picked the perfect day and weather to tie their knot.

I met Jolie and Tate early this year when they were about to start their wedding planning. They were super excited about the wedding (especially Jolie), who has lots of ideas of how she wants the wedding to turn out. Since the wedding will be taking place at the gorgeous Pacific Oaks Vineyard Estate (one of our exclusive private estates), Jolie and Tate wanted to have a bright garden feel with elegant touch, something with antique look. During the planning process, Jolie shopped here and there to look for the type of decoration that she would want, and I was there along her side to provide suggestions and ideas. It was a fun planning!

I'm so glad to work with Jolie and Tate to make the vision of their wedding came true!

Love the sunny day and blue sky on a wedding day!


This is always one of the best shoot! If you don't have a videographer, this should be one of the must take photo from your photographer! So if you are a bride, you can see how your groom looks when he is waiting for you. ;-)

Love my happy bride! You are just gorgeous!!






What an awesome cake with detail design!

Sweet Words from Client

Yesterday I received an email notification from Yelp that I've been reviewed by someone. When I click through the link, it was my previous client who go married this May - May and Davis Viprakasit. This made my day!! =) And this is why I LOVE my job so much!! To see more brides and grooms to have a well planned wedding of their dream and truly have a fabulous celebration at their wedding with no stress!


"I LOVE LOVE LOVE Amy!!! Amy helped to plan my wedding this past May. She was wonderful, very knowledgeable and unbelievably helpful. I was planning the wedding for San Jose area, but living in Chicago -- Amy made it point to be available whenever i was in town. She was super prompt with her email and phone replies to any and all of my random questions that came up throughout my planning. Amy introduced me to my photographer and florist and baker -- all of whom I LOVED. In addition, she was able to work so well with my mother who is mostly only Chinese speaking. She understood the different Asian customs and traditions that we had to think about for the day as well. The day of the wedding went so smoothly, I honestly didn't have to worry about a thing. Amy coordinated the day so wonderfully, that even my husband commented, "this was the best money we spent on the wedding." In fact, the day after, i realized that i had no idea what happened to the cake riser that we rented, to this odd and end -- and one quick phone call to Amy confirmed that she had taken care of everything. I highly highly recommend getting a planner and specifically hiring Amy. She is such a joy to work with and has become a good friend in the process! :)" - May and Davis Viprakasit

Interesting Wednesday

It's been HOT these days!! Especially the last weekend was over an 100 degrees here in the Northern California. While celebrating a special day of the bride and groom and being hot, I'm sure everyone would love to cool down a bit if ice cream is included on the menu!

I was searching on the web for ice cream catering last night and found that you can actually make ice cream in different styles of spaghetti. With this new idea, if you are a food network fans, you may seen it before. However, as it almost unknown in the US, Spaghetti Ice Cream is a derivation of a traditional European dessert Spaghetti Ice, which is served at many European ice cream shops. Originally it was made only from gelato (Italian-style gourmet ice cream), strawberry sauce and white chocolate. But now we have brought this tradition to rest of the world. Now you can have a Spaghetti Ice Cream made from ice cream or gelato, strawberry sauce and grated white chocolate (or shredded coconut if you prefer), at your next birthday party, wedding or catered event.

See what other styles of spaghetti you can create your ice-cream to...


Check them out and see how you can include this unique idea to your next event!
