Thanks so much to Dove Canyon Country Club for hosting an educational, fun and beautiful event for ABC-OC member on June 14th, 2011. Our topic was Cultural Night, where four speakers gave us information on various ethnic wedding traditions and customs.
Guests were greeted at registration with lovely name tags by Li’K Designs, then went on to enjoy Aki’s sushi rolls, Dove Canyon’s full bar and other appetizers. After some mingling, our presentation began and offered valuable information relating to Jewish, Asian, Persian and Indian Weddings. After our great classroom discussion, several ethnic food stations, music and more drinks awaited us all.
Room décor glowed and sparkled with florals from Designs by Tricia, a preferred vendor at Dove Canyon, linens/chairs by Fusion Linens and lighting by Carcano DJ.
Thomas from Agent Entertainment kept the party going for quite a while, we hear some members were having too much fun to go home before 11 pm! And for dessert, delicious and gorgeous cupcakes from The Cupcake Store, plus hot brewed coffee beverage from Brew Ha Ha.
Photography excellence by the one and only Joel at Studio EMP, always willing to help us out and provide his services and amazing pictures.
