The Monterey Bay sits in the sunshine and offers incredible scenery, gorgeous beaches and clean air unlike that other bay up north. Also unlike that other bay, we have some of the most picturesque wedding locations in California. From elegant Carmel to wild Santa Cruz, we have the best beaches, best locations, and the best of everything. |

If you still... want to get married on the other bay, we will do that too! We offer custom designed ceremonies any where in Northern California. We would never try to force a standard "out of the box" wedding on you.We have over 70 pre written ceremonies for you to choose from or we will help you write a ceremony just for you. You maintain full creative control and we will be there with you every step of the way. If you have cultural or social needs, we can meet those too. We offer hand fasting, jumping the broom, and other non-traditional ceremonies. I am an ordained nondenominational minster and I have been involved professionally in over 100 weddings, commitment ceremonies and civil unions. I have officiated at weddings for couples of different cultures and racial backgrounds and at commitment ceremonies for gay and lesbian couples. I welcome the opportunity to work with people from all cultures, races, religions and sexual orientation. I enjoy marrying people. If you're happy, I'm happy!  |

Choosing a Theme for Your Wedding. Most people think that a wedding already has a theme, you are getting married. This is true, however having a theme can help make the decorations easier to devise and can help give the event a tone or feeling. The type of wedding you have is totally up to you; after all, it is your wedding. If you identify with a certain ethnicity then use that. Have the entire wedding party take dance tap dancing lessons or hip-hop, or hula lessons, what ever you like go with it and have fun. One theme I really like is a Mexican theme. You can hire a Mariachi band and they may be able to direct you to a dance troupe to perform while you are out taking the bridal pictures. Consider bringing in a Pinata to continue the party theme at the reception. |

A Christmas wedding is easy because you can put the presents under your Christmas tree and use it as a center focus. The decorations are festive and can be quite elegant or playful and the decorations are something most people already have so it will save money. You can consider a costume wedding or perhaps a Mardi Gras type with masks and lots of beads. On the other hand, just the Halloween type costumes. Center pieces can be Jack-O-lanterns and orange and black balloons or anything else that strikes your fancy. Alternatively, if you want something simpler how about a garden style or Rose garden wedding. Held outside use fresh flowers on the tables and dress the bridesmaids in light airy floral prints the bouquet could be a simple bunch of daisies tied with a matching ribbon. |  |

Remember when planning theme wedding to carry the theme through out the wedding, reception, food, decorations and the favors and don’t forget abut the invitations.
Printing your own invitations is easy on your home computer and specialty paper is readily available at all office supply stores and on-line. Some of the large manufactures of printers offer online themed sets of stationary you can print at home for free, it’s fun and easy and will save you a lot of money. Try HP.com for everything from invitations, table cards, decorations, and even thank you notes. When thinking of favors, a picture of the happy couple, maybe from the engagement party dressed in the style or theme of the wedding. You can print the photos at home on photo paper. Put the photos in an inexpensive frame decorated in your style or theme adds a personal touch for literally pennies per photo. You can pick up simple decorations at the party supply or craft store. Having a beach wedding? Try gluing seashells on the photo frame or plastic candy corn to match a Halloween theme. A sprig of holy or small silk poinsettias glued to the frame really brings in the Christmas theme.

Helpful Tips:
Next time you are cooking cabbage, put a heel of bread on top of cabbage before putting the lid on the pot - there will be NO ODOR. The bread has no effect on the cabbage and should be removed after cooking. Works for broccoli and Brussels sprouts too.
