I have never met a client, who was so trusting and sweet as Shannon and Kerry, and of course Shannon’s mother, Janice Cozzo. From the moment, we met, I felt joy in having the privilege in assisting them with the planning details of their special day. They were receptive and open to suggestions that would bring their vision to fruition and make their wedding day special.
A Breathtaking View
Starting with a breathtaking venue, Paul Masson Mt. Winery, in Saratoga, CA provided the perfect location for Shannon and Kerry to exchange vows and celebrate their joyous union with family and friends.
Although everyone was concerned about the unusual wet weather in May,(and preparations were in place in the event of rain), Shannon and Kerry’s wedding day was picture perfect!
With the wedding day activities starting at 9:00 a.m. with the talented Mina Drake, hair and make-up artist, Shannon’s mother and sisters lovingly assisted her in dressing for her special day.
While the bride and groom were getting ready, the staff at the historic Mt. Winery, readied the venue and set the tables with Chivari chairs, and specialty linens from A Party Place, in San Jose. CA. Leila Simms, of Half Moon Flowers, made the the purple pin tuck linens pop with her contemporary floral centerpieces of pink tulips, calla lilies,orchids and soft pink hydrangeas. And to add to the final touch was the simple, yet elegant three -tiered cake provided by Studio Cake of Menlo Park, Ca.
With all in place according to the time line, Sound in Motion set the stage for the ceremony. As the bridal party descended the stairs and began their walk down the aisle, photographers Emma and Alfred Salom, and Oren Ariele of Awesomeshots quietly slipped among the guests and captured the romantic and loving ceremony, not missing the kiss, the rose petaled arbor and monarch butterflies.

As the florist for one of Janet’s wedding, I have to say I had the best experience with and event coordinator. Janet made the setting up a pleasure. All the staff, was working and prepping in concerto to Janet’s organization. She was there overlooking, hands-on, the whole operation. Calm and collected, she made everybody’s job a breeze. Would work with her anytime! Thanks for the opportunity…..
