IT'S HERE! NEW WEB SITE, NEW BLOG

It's been a labor of love in the works for awhile. Truth be told, the process was much quicker and easier than expected due to my fabulous web designer Jason Muninghoff. That said, it always feels like forever! Anyway, at long last, I can finally announce that the new Web site for Donna Romani Events is up and running. Please come visit, check it out, and let me know what you think!


Also, as a result of updating the Web site, I've rolled the blog onto the site. If you like/follow us now, please come visit us at the new site and like/follow us again. We would miss you terribly. And you'd miss some really fabulous content in the works!

Thank you all so much for the love and support. I'm so excited about this new look and a most amazing year ahead. Stay tuned because it's going to be a fun ride!

REAL WEDDING: BACARA RESORT III

This reception was one of my favorites. Awesome band to rock the house, a toast from Darby's dad that made everyone cry - especially me, a fun and interactive photo booth, fabulous details and lots of little touches to make it oh-so personal. Darby's a southern girl and all the details were kept very sweet. All Louisiana meets Texas with lemons, lace and hot sauce!

Darby and Reece opted for a buffet dinner for their 190 guests. Here's a great idea for a buffet wedding this large ... We plated the first course before guests sat down. That way, all of the hungry guests had something to gnosh on during the welcome toast and while they waited to be invited up to the buffet line. Plus, it just look SO pretty when guests walked into dinner!

I adore this cake!!!

Kudos to all of the awesome vendors!

REAL WEDDING: BACARA RESORT

Darby and Reece were so much fun to work with. The very first time Darby called me we spoke on the phone forever, and with such ease. She overflowed with ideas and excitement and unbridled joy. And then I met Reece, and he was quiet and sweet and wanted to give Darby the world. And then I met Darby's mom and I fell in love! We had our team, and it was awesome.

Darby's style is very vintage elegant, with ease and grace.

I love when couples take the time to write each other a note before the wedding. Find a quiet moment the week before to reflect on why you're marrying this person and what you love about them. What your dreams are for you both. Just look at the outcome ...

Tune in tomorrow for some stunning portraits of Darby and Reece by Sarah Rhoads - they're gorgeous!!! And on Wednesday, the reception!

Special thanks to all of the amazing vendors!

REAL WEDDING: ST. BARBARA'S/FOUR SEASONS

This wedding was completely unique and wonderful. The bride and groom are New Yorkers - she's Japanese and he is Greek. Both families are traditional. Traditions and customs were blended from both cultures, making this wedding so personal and special.

The Ceremony took place at Saint Barbara's Greek Orthodox Church -
a stunning location in the foothills overlooking Santa Barbara.

Both fathers made toasts during the reception - hers with sake and his with ouzo.

Cousins from both sides showed off their culture in an impromptu dance-off during the reception. Modern Japanese techno versus old school Greek Zorba dancing. It was AWE-some!

Kudos and thanks to the wonderful vendors that made everything beautiful and fabulous!
