CCL Weddings & Events

We had the honor to work with Tracy and Matt almost 1.5 years before their wedding, because with a busy schedule like theirs and living in a completely different state, planning a wedding would not be the easiest for two people were are in residency. The couple lived in Ohio so planning a wedding long distance may not have been easy, but the organization and thoroughness of the couple made it a cinch! During the duration of the planning we probably only saw the couple three times total, while the remainder of the time was done through email and Facetime.

We planned for a weekend event from the rehearsal dinner, welcome dinner to the wedding day that would truly encompass the couple, their love of their careers and sweets! We used the quote “You make my heart palpitate” on the couple’s custom cocktail napkins and wood stirrers, along with an escort installation that held custom packaged heart shape cookies for each guest. The escort installation was then converted to a dessert station with mini sweets all curated by the couple and created by M Cakes Sweets.

Tracy and Matt, wishing you the very best all the way from So Cal! It was such a blast to work on your wedding weekend and meet all your family and friends! Thank you so much for allowing us into your lives and heart.

Being with two people whose smiles can brighten your day is exactly how it felt each time I met with Tami and Corey. Working with these two was an absolute dream and our CCL team loved everything about them and their special day.

The couple chose Calamigos Ranch in Malibu to say “I DO” in front of their family and friends, where a garden encircled the ceremony. Green Leaf Designs helped enhance the beautiful garden setting with lush floral arrangements, lots of green garland and a bed of rose petals down the aisle. The groom’s love for coconut water was definitely not overlooked, and an installation was created to hold bottled of Harmless Harvest Coconut Water for guests to sip on before the ceremony. Prior to this wedding we had not tried Harmless Harvest, but we are now hooked!

The reception took place under a tent inside the newly remodeled reception area at Calamigos where custom green leaf chandeliers were hung throughout the dining room, tall taper candles filled the tables, and table numbers of the couple’s favorite movies were hand drawn by the bride herself. She’s just full of so much talent!

Tami & Corey, I love you two! You are the sweetest people and I cannot thank you enough for allowing me into your lives and our team to plan and create your dream wedding. Can’t wait to see you two again because that positivity you have is contagious.

When two people from different countries with a strong love for their dogs decide to get married, it is only appropriate that all these elements be placed into one big celebration. Tammy was from Canada while Steven was from Hawaii, and a destination wedding was chosen where they could bring both families and friends together in one place. They chose the beautiful property of Westlake Village Inn for their weekend celebration.

The couple chose a colorful palette of plum, lavender, grey and peach for the spring wedding. We combined the elements of the couple’s hometowns in the welcome bags to their guests, a welcome drink of Canadian Dry and Hawaiian shortbread cookies. Their invitation was custom designed by Small Paper Co. who used their dog’s silhouettes on the design on the invite, along with a custom map that showed the couple’s hometowns with dots connecting to their wedding location.

We had taken the dog’s silhouette from the invitation and had life-sized wood cut outs of the dogs made as signs throughout the wedding thanks to Letters To You! Such a great way to incorporate their fur babies with fun phrases from the couple’s countries.

For dessert, the couple had Snow Monster create custom ice cream macaron cookie sandwiches while dancing the night away until mini LA street dogs and poutine fries were served to guests as a late night snack.

Tammy and Steven, thank you so much for allowing us to help plan your big day! It was such a fun filled day with your fur babies, family and friends! We love your love for 90’s music that kept the guests on their toes all night! Congrats again and congrats on your baby girl!
