HEARTFELT, GORGEOUS WEDDING at SB CHILD's ESTATE

Jess & Mike created the most enchanting, romantic wedding ever at the S.B. Zoo, with Soigne Productions and Nico Flower Design creating a dream team.  Here are a couple of photos: And such a kind note from the lovely couple: " Choosing who is going to marry you is extremely stressful.  My family is Jewish and my husband is Greek Orthodox, so after much debate, we made the decision not to get married in either religious venue.  My mom suggested we contact our friend Barbra who is a professional and also a friend, and specializes in interfaith marriages.  After our first meeting, it was clear she was the perfect person to marry us! Over the course of 9 months, she worked with us to craft the perfect ceremony that incorporated Jewish traditions such as smashing the glass, and Greek traditions such as the Stefana Crown Ceremony.  Barbra combined traditional vows with fun personal stores about our lives.  So many people came up to us afterwards to say how much the...

Sweet Comments from El Encanto Wedding!

Thank you Kimberly & Paul for the lovely comments!  It was my honor!   "Barbra was nothing short of AMAZING!  She worked seamlessly with us and genuinely sought to understand our individual personalities, our love story and unique dynamics as a couple. We felt that she totally “got us” despite the fact that we were planning from 6,000 miles away, and didn't meet in person until the wedding weekend!    Initially, we couldn't decide whether to ask a friend to conduct our ceremony, or hire a professional. Barbra gave us the best of both sides: her vast experience, gravitas and expertise imparted the “official” and professional atmosphere we desired, while her beautiful storytelling and care in getting to know us and authentically representing us ensured there wasn't a dry eye in the house! In fact, many guests assumed Barbra was a close family friend who had known us for years!   Working with Barbra was a flawless and stress-free experience – ...
