Melissa and Samid’s big day at the Cliffside Marriott in Dana Point! Not only was it ANOTHER perfect day in southern California, but this event was VERY well put together. DeNeitra Vincent with Savvy Events did a great job as “elements of Hamid’s Persian culture were infused into the event” with a Persian wedding spread at the altar (called the Sofreh Aghd) and also a belly dancer at the reception! Shazam! Let’s start with a few details I found in Melissa’s getting ready room . . .


Videographer for the day was Elysium Productions. They put together an incredible “same day edit,” which they presented at the reception! Wowzers!
