Wedding Workshop- Sunday March 27th, 2011





Spring has sprung and fall wedding planning is in full swing! On Sunday, March 27th in partnership with SF Brides, Well Rehearsed and Classic Party Rentals, the City Club hosted a Spring Wedding Workshop. With over 50 guests in attendance it was a wonderfully successful event!Guests arrived mid-morning to enjoy a full brunch buffet by Chef Michael Munoz which included a Frittata with Sun-Dried Tomatoes, Goat Cheese and Sweet Italian Sausage, House-made Granola and all the other morning goodies you would want. Champagne and Mimosas flowed freely while couples mingled.

The event kicked off in the Main Dining Room with Editor in Chief Robin Wilke of SF Brides giving our Brides and guests an insight into how to have your wedding featured in a magazine. She emphasized staying true to yourself in your planning and submitting photos that tell a story about your special day and about you as a couple.

Once the talk wrapped up guest were invited downstairs to the Café to explore how to plan a seamless rehearsal dinner with Kathy Goodman of Well Rehearsed. Kathy debuted her City of San Francisco themed table designs which were a total show stopper. Guests enjoyed viewing the tables and getting tips about what to keep in mind when planning their rehearsal dinner. While half of the group sat with Kathy, I had the opportunity to speak with the other half about planning table tap décor that created an impact and stayed true to the theme and unique features of the couple. Classic Party Rentals provided a stylish seating arrangement along with all the linens, glassware and china that we needed to get hands on experience with mixing and matching.

The whole event was captured by the fabulous Gustavo Fernandez. It was great having his up-beat personality and positive energy in the mix.

Guests found the Workshop to be fun and informative and it was our pleasure to meet the up-coming Mr. & Mrs.! We look forward to the next opportunity to host this event again soon!
