From being incredibly involved in the ins and outs of the wedding planning process to surprising his beautiful bride on their wedding day with a dance routine that will have you belly laughing – this man officially wins Groom of The Year in our books! Keep on reading for tons of gorgeous pictures from Winsome and Wright, the dance routine video captured by East West and a few words from the bride and groom. We couldn’t agree more with the groom’s advice when it comes to hiring a wedding planner as amazing as Sarah Park Events – scroll to see what he had to say.
From the Groom (Eric)… We wanted simple, clean, modern and elegant. Our preference was for an outdoor wedding. We looked at one wedding venue, fell in love with it and said we didn’t need to look at any more. The London West Hollywood has two beautiful rooftop spaces, one for the ceremony and one for the reception, and perfectly matched our black and white color scheme for our black-tie affair. We booked it sight once seen.
We wholeheartedly believe that having a talented, creative, dedicated and reliable wedding planner can make all the difference in the world. Sarah Park really helped us realize our vision and then meticulously brought that vision to life. We will forever be grateful for her guidance and expertise.
We soon came to learn that the wedding day itself can be a bit of a blur. One piece of advice we graciously received and would like to pay forward is to dedicate some time on the day of, even if only for a few minutes, to step back and just be with each other, embrace the beauty of what you created, and simply enjoy the moment together. Before you know it, it’ll be over. Capturing the memories via photos and video proved invaluable in cementing the fruits of our labor of love. We cannot thank Faith of Winsome and Wright and Caleb Jordan Lee of East West Productions enough for doing what they do best in helping us remember this ever-special day for the rest of our lives.
Wedding planning is not for the faint of heart (!!). The entire process from start to finish truly helps you recognize and more fully appreciate all of the details and intricacies involved. At the end of the day, we were just so happy to be able to eat, drink and be married with all of our beloved guests.
From the Bride (Veronica)… With Eric, I consider myself blessed in so many ways, but he went above and beyond and exceeded all expectations in his intimate involvement in every aspect of our wedding planning.
And as if that wasn’t enough, Eric and a few of his closest friends surprised me with the sweetest most unforgettable choreographed dance that paid homage to my favorite television show of all time, “The Office,” pieced together a medley of some of my favorite songs and even included cameos from both our moms and sisters in a “Girls Like You” rendition. It was an incredibly heartfelt and heartwarming feel-good expression of love.
