Private Estate Wedding | Santa Margarita Wedding Planner

Where to begin with this romantic Santa Margarita wedding?!?

The flowers were lovely, the bridesmaids and groomsmen loved to dance, and the pre-ceremony music was a live bagpipes player! But there were three aspects of this wedding that landed it on our “2018 Favorites” list:

  1. The groom’s older sister is our dear friend and local San Luis Obispo photographer, Kelly Donohue!
  2. The bride’s entire family is BRITISH, which means we got to hear those glorious accents all day long. 🙂
  3. I had the pleasure of joining the whole wedding party in Bull’s Tavern in downtown San Luis Obispo after the formal celebration had ended!

Most importantly, of course, the love between Sean and Emma was palpable, as was the love extended to them from every single one of their 150+ guests. We truly felt honored to have coordinated this beautiful day that brought two families together from all the way across the world.
