Linda & Jase (heart)

Linda & Jase were married at Calamigos Equestrian Center in Burbank. I think of her as my Anthropology girl because she always had the most stylish outfits. They based their wedding details from the movie "You've Got Mail". You'll notice the mailboxes & mock letters. I still have one of the favors. Linda hand-made these beautiful envelopes & stuffed them with yummy treats. Linda actually made most of her decor, such as the bunting. They also have really talented friends who contributed with the photo booth wall & cake topper. The day began with a beautiful tea ceremony. Afterward,
Carolyn Leal, their officiant, created a spot-on ceremony that depicted their personalities & made everyone smile. Jenny & her team at  Alders Photography provided the beautiful images. Talk about a tremendous photographer to work with....
Thank you, Linda & Jase, for your kindness, amazing style, & allowing me to work with you. I will continue to pester you long after your wedding day :-)...

our musical couple

One of our favorite weddings, this summer, was Annie & Marcus'. You most likely have heard their sweet melodies on tv or here on the internet or some other form of media. If you haven't, it's absolutely worth your time to check out their site.



These two are the depiction of creativity, class, & love. Little & Ashley's tunes are so sweet & catchy. A pure joy to our ears. Regarding their wedding, we cannot even begin to describe our adoration for their personal wedding details.- Fun & charming....& GREAT music!

Patricia & James!

I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent with Patricia & James while planning their wedding.


They are a laid back couple & that trait did not waiver the entire time. If they were ever stressed, it did not show.  Patricia came up with gorgeous décor elements that really impressed me.  Their ceremony & reception were held at the Jonathan Club in downtown Los Angeles. Not that I would expect anything less than stellar from the club, but their service was beyond phenomenal, from the bussers to the event manager. Every single staff member I came in contact with was extraordinarily friendly & professional. I am absolutely delighted to say Hustle & Bustle is now on their preferred vendor list because it will be a joy to work at the Jonathan Club again. Now back to the couple. As you can see, they are just lovely.Their ceremony was held on the roof top surrounded by skyscrapers. It created an amazing backdrop. The cocktail hour & dinner were held in two very different regal rooms. While the interior felt very grand & formal, Patricia's flowers & details, such as the kids table covered w/ jars of candy, provided a softer touch. Yes, they had a fun photo booth which also lightened the mood! Each guest had the privilege to take home a couple succulents as favors. Congratulations to Patricia & James!
Samantha at Primary petals was the genius behind the florals. It's difficult to match her talent.

The W Hollywood

I'm quite thrilled Kaci just booked another wedding at the gorgeous W Hotel in Hollywood for next year. 
Last May, we had the honor to help plan the very first (ever!) wedding at this hotel. Talk about amazing...I would seriously visit Chris at the venue if you are looking for a hip, chic, impressive venue for your event.
Unfortunately, we cannot share photos from our event because it was a celebrity wedding but I did manage to sneak a pic w/ my phone :-)...& then a couple of my daughter at a walk-through, just because I'm a proud mama, ha ha.


We are so looking forward to our wedding at the W, next year!

Our team had the lovely honor to coordinate this couple’s wedding at the Hyatt in Newport Beach.
Andrea & Kenny had such fun personalities. It was the first time I’ve seen guests win designer Snuggies!
The whole day was gorgeous & fun, much like the couple themselves.
