From the first time Jolie and I spoke, we hit it off. I felt an immediate connection and wanted to truly make this an incredible Wedding for her and her fiance Will. Jolie shared that they chose New Years Eve as their Wedding date, because her Mom (and incredible former Wedding Planner herself) had been experiencing some health issues and she wanted to truly ring in the New Year with her closest friends and family. As we navigated through the planning process I learned Jolie was innovative and determined. She would come up with an idea and do everything she could to ensure she had the most cost effective and best option possible. Jolie and Will were engaged at an Alpaca farm in Carpinteria. So, through the planning process Jolie decided she wanted to invite a few Alpaca friends to her Wedding, to surprise her guests. And Oh were they a surprise! Not only were we able to hang out with two adult Alpacas and two babies but they even had outfit changes!! Starting out in their formal Wedding attire and switching to their New Years Eve get-ups! Jolie’s entire Wedding style came together beautifully, she intermixed their love for contemporary art with soft Boho style accents. Which meshed well with the Fess Parker Inn decor. A friend of theirs custom drew their invitations and their table numbers were an homage of some of their favorite contemporary artists. All in all, it was an incredible experience working with Jolie and Will on their dream day. Here are a few highlights-
