Here in S Ca we wedding planners are very lucky to work at some of the top 5 star/5 diamond hotels/resorts in the world, and people spend a lot of money to come from all around the world to enjoy these locations, but we tend to not take the time or get to do that ourselves, so it was time……
I had a window mid summer during the week, so spent 30 hours at Terranea and felt like I had been away for a week. OUr room was lovely and was on the ground level so our patio opened right onto the grass which was great for access to get around. We watched the sunset with a drink in hand at the restaurant that is on the cliff and an added bonus in the summer is a pop up barbeque/picnic style bench area right next door that has live music. A lot of locals walk through that area with their dogs for their evening walk and some even stopped for a glass of wine/to watch the sunset etc. There was a large firepit with rocking chairs etc around it, and it was fun seeing people chatting/interacting that when they first sat down did not know each other. We then went over and had dinner at the large restaurant on the other side of property by the pool, the food was delicious. We sat outside and on a lovely summer evening didn’t really need the heat lamps but they did make it comfortable to where it was hard to leave when we were done. We saw through facebook that some friends were also at the resort, so private messaged them, then met them up after dinner on the upper terrace and had a night cap infront of the lovely fireplace up there.
Next day, a lazy morning, went and got breakfast at the spa and enjoyed it sitting on a chaise looking out over the Pacific, so lovely. Then made our way to the adult pool closer to the ocean on the other side of property and spent the rest of that day there until 5pm, having lunch and cocktails and just enjoying the view, when it was time to head south and home.
If you are looking for a taste of an Italian getaway without going to Italy, this is the place for you. And it’s not a half bad place to celebrate your wedding at either!!!
Fabulous time
Till next time

I just wanted to say thank you for everything. The wedding turned out soooo BEAUTIFUL. I don’t know what we would have done without you. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you
I just can’t imagine how the date could go through smoothly without you, you were amazing. Going through the whole process with you was a great life experience.
You are a great woman and a wedding co-ordinator ‘extraordinaire’. We are blessed and honored to have you as our co-ordinator.
ou pulled together the most beautiful wedding in less than two weeks. People who attended our wedding still comment on it being the prettiest they’ve ever been to.
Thank you for making my wedding perfect. Everything went really well and I was able to really enjoy it. My guests are still complimenting me on how nice everything was. Everyone kept commenting on how calm I was and that is because I had you to take care of everything.
