Weddings at the City Club Whinston & Kim 4.03.09




One of the things that I love about weddings and particularly about the wedding venue is how every couple makes it their own. Each couple selects the venue that they feel is perfect for their day and if you ask they reasons that they find it so well fitted the answers run the gamut. Whether it be the location, the food, the atmosphere and decor or some combination of it all, eventually the decision is made. Chances are, other people have also been married in the same location so personalizing the venue to reflect you as a couple and your journey to that day becomes the next step!

Julie and Adam did such a wonderful job doing this and I think that was one of the main reasons that I’m still hearing compliments about this particular event. From the first conversation that I had with them I could tell that they were true adventurers always looking for their next destination. They happened to become engaged on a trip to Morocco and had decided to work this into the wedding day. It was really important to the couple that who they were as individuals and a couple shone through and that their guests had a wedding experience as unique as their relationship.

A Moroccan themed print (picked out on the trip) was present from the Wedding Invitations, to the Ceremony Programs all the way to the Cake made by Carolyn Wong. They customized a masterfully prepared menu by Executive Chef Michael Munoz, including Seasoned Veggie Skewers, Panzanella Bread Salad and Moroccan spiced Tri-Tip, all served family style. A photo-booth provided by Photoboof, Henna Artist from Henna Gardens and jeweled trinket boxes for place cards all helped to complete the theme. With San Francisco street names as table numbers and a personalized song about their life, there was no doubt where this couple was from, where they’ve been and where they are going! Congratulations to Julie and Kim on beautiful day!

Spring has Sprung!


As a Wedding & Event Planner at the City Club I work with many creative people and the creative process. Each season brings new themes, colors, trends, and cuisine. I am lucky enough to work with different designs aspects all year long. Each event and/or Wedding couple is different. Usually the wedding date dictates the theme or “look” of the wedding they wish to create. Due to so many professionals in the Wedding market there are several ways to design the perfect atmosphere.

As we head into spring and Wedding season, I have seen some great colors pop within the club walls. Recently the work of Classic Party Rentals, and Nancy Liu Chin came together to create the perfect Spring Wedding atmosphere at The City Club in March. The colors of Pea & Kelly Green, Soft Ivory, and Canary Yellow complimented one another. Pictures provided by Darcy Weddings captured the light and colors in a beautiful way to portray the essence of Spring. Creativity is just one aspect in Wedding Planning which can really enhance the atmosphere. Each season of the year has signature colors & themes which can be incorporated to enhance any celebration.
