Private Residence - Dinner Over the Swimming Pool

Here is one of my personal favorites with an interesting setup.


I really appreciate this wedding since the load in was challenging.  The gardens and pool were on three separate levels. The top level was used for the ceremony and the middle level held the cocktail hour and the third level, where the swimming pool was located was used for the dinner reception and dancing. 

The only way to accomplish this party with the guest count was to scaffold the pool.

I was fortunate to work with some of the most talented professionals in this business on this event.

The flowers were created by Empty Vase. Yvonne and her designers did a beautiful job on the Chuppah and dinner arrangements.  All of the flowers were gorgeous and white. Yvonne used roses on the Chuppah and white hydrangea in big clear vases on the dinner tables.

The scaffold construction was done by ECS. Chris and his team had to walk up and down over 80 plus steps for access to the pool area.  Needless to say, it was a labor intensive installation as well as strike, but they made it look seamless.
The rentals were handled by Town and Country Event Rentals.  We had several revisions to the rental order and layouts. Bren Colosi and Julio Villasenor from Town and Country made sure that the layouts and rental orders were current and accurate so crews were always on the same page.

Our clients chose Wolfgang Puck to caterer their wedding and reception.  The presentation of the food let the guests know that they were in for a culinary adventure.  Corey Taylor from Wolfgang Puck was on-site through out the event and he made sure that dinner service was flawless. 

Images by Lighting worked with ECS, plus our company to create lighting options under the plexi-glass.  On the night before the event, our client and our company watched the lighting test and we chose a pretty aqua blue.  In addition, Images by Lighting had lighting on all of the trees and the beautiful residence to make the party look magical.

James Johnson was chosen by our clients for his great eye and use of film instead of digital.  I really love the photos and being able to present them on our blog.

On a personal note, my team worked very hard to ensure that nothing was left to chance.  I am very fortunate to work with such an amazing team of people.
