Viviann slipped on her shoes and James suited up, then the couple met outside Hangar 21 South for their first look. A hug and tap on the shoulder turned James around to see his beautiful bride standing before him in a tulle and lace wedding gown. The bride and groom exchanged sweet compliments, then joined their wedding party on the tarmac for group photos before lining up for ceremony.
Guests entered Hangar 21 South, signed James and Viviann’s guest book, then took a seat inside the hangar. White pillars topped with fall-colored florals decorated the ceremony backdrop. Once everyone was seated, the wedding party made their entrances ending with Viviann. In front of all their closest friends and family, James and Viviann read personalized vows, exchanged rings, watered their unity tree, and sealed the ceremony with a kiss.
On the tarmac, Fig, Goat Cheese, and Mascarpone Tarts and Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms were tray passed and a stationary Antipasto Tray and Cheese Tray offered additional hors d’oeuvres. The bar served beer, wine, cocktails, and the newlywed’s signature drinks, a G&T and Old Fashioned. While everyone mixed and mingled, the bride and groom enjoyed their flight over Orange County touching down just in time for dinner.
Back inside the hangar, tables were topped with dainty floral bud vases and rust-colored runners. James and Viviann made their grand entrance, shared their first dance, then took a seat at their sweetheart table. Roasted Atlantic Salmon Fillet and Cabernet Braised Short Ribs with Vegetarian Rotolo Bolzano, Red Roasted Potatoes, Grilled Marinated Vegetables, and Pear and Walnut Salad were served while guests stood to share toasts. The meal was selected by the bride and groom with help from our event specialist, Arielle. After dinner, the couple cut into a 2-tiered marble and lemon wedding cake and invited their guests to indulge in a slice. Full from dinner and dessert, guests made their way out to the dance floor to end the evening. Well wishes were shared with the newlyweds as guests trickled out and the wedding came to a close.
