Sophia + Andres | U.S GRANT- Downtown San Diego | Saturday, August 1st2015

We had the immense pleasure to be part of Andres and Sophia's wedding at the U.S Grant in downtown San Diego.




The U.S Grant is named after President Ulysses S. Grant, the 18th President of the United States, who disapproved of the treatment of the Indians of the American West and passed in 1891  the "Act for the Relief of the Mission Indians" which officially recognized the sovereign status of California's Indian Tribes.


This elegant and sophisticated couple had envisioned a ceremony inside the Crystal Ballroom, build in 1927 mostly known for its beautiful  travertine floor, embellished European plasterwork, and a hand-painted ceiling.
Their ceremony was very mystical - that was accented by the flow of candles all along the isle.



We had this feeling to be in a crypte in Europe. It was gorgeous.

After vows were exchanged, the guests were invited to join cocktail hour. Our newlyweds had chosen Postmodern Jukebox to entertain their guests.



Then, the Reception was held in the Celestial Ballroom. The vaulted ceilings and the grand colomns give and 1930's feeling (especially with the uplighting) kind of the Rococo Era, with all its splendor and chic. Candles and golden signs were added to give even more a feeling to be back in time during the prohibition Era- the room was build in the 30s.






Followed a great night of dancing.

Our newlyweds had chosen all the songs. They had some very specific requests and we were extremely happy about them as they really matched our personal tastes as well with some of our personal favorites tunes! We will keep their playlist for own party! ;-)








We open the dancefloor with a traditional Hungarian dance song: "Karpatia palinka dal" to honor Sophia's heritage.

Then it was a great night of dancing with a lot of energy!



We absolutely adored working for Andres and Sophia! 
So much that we wished we were guests at their wedding !

We are wishing them a long life of Love and Happiness together!





The wedding was orchestrated by the Talented Petr Trebin from The Abbey Catering and Event Design.
