  • Décor + florals (arches, aisle styling, centerpieces, lighting)
  • Entertainment (DJ, dance floor, live music, performers)

  • Pick Garden Gazebo or Beach for ceremonies—they photograph beautifully with minimal décor
  • Host your rehearsal dinner at the Wine Cellar for a memorable, low-cost private event
  • Use La Cala Restaurant for medium receptions to avoid ballroom formality
