Guests gathered in the courtyard at Hangar 21 South where white roses and greenery decorated the aisle-way and a golden ceremony backdrop stood centerstage. A hush fell over the crowd when the groom, Paul, kicked off the ceremony walking out in his fashionable black suit with champagne coat detailing. The bridesmaids in blush gowns and groomsmen followed leaving the bride and her father last. Ariana, in her lace wedding dress, gracefully made her way towards Paul. Vows were shared between the couple and upon their announcement as husband and wife, their guests erupted with applause.
Cocktail hour on the tarmac was filled with fun games like life size Jenga and Connect Four for guests to enjoy. Light hors d’oeuvres were tray passed and the bar was serving up refreshing beverages including the newlyweds signature cocktail. Meanwhile, Ariana and Paul escaped for a romantic helicopter ride over Orange County. Upon their return, everyone was seated inside the hangar for the dinner reception. Tables were draped in grey linens while blush colored napkins and individual menus marked each table setting. Tall light pink candlesticks and flowers acted as centerpieces going down the length of each table. Ariana and Paul shared their first dance before taking a seat at the head table and listening to toasts from family and friends. Soon after toasts, dinner was served. Guests ate their fill of Santorini Chicken, Grilled Vegetables and Basmati Rice before watching Ariana and Paul cut their golden two-tiered wedding cake, then dancing broke out on the dance floor. Ariana led the way in group dances and guests enjoyed the remainder of the evening creating memories with loved ones.
