We had the great pleasure to be hired by Angie and Patrick's wedding at the San Diego Museum of Art last saturday in Balboa Park.
In 2015 the Museum will celebrate 100 years of art in Balboa Park and the Centennial Celebration of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. The original inspiration for a permanent public art gallery in San Diego can be traced to the Panama-California International Exposition, held in Balboa Park during 1915-1916. The Exposition, which was organized to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal and to promote San Diego as a seaport, also showcased San Diego as a growing cultural center.
What a beautiful, historical and classy venue!
The Ceremony was held in The May S. Marcy Sculpture Court and Garden, situated adjacent to the Museum's west wing, is a beautiful outdoor courtyard featuring 19th- and 20th-century sculptures.
The pre-ceremony music was very jazzy. Patrick, our groom is a fervent amateur of jazz music, and our beautiful bride Angie is an accomplished pianist.
Music was extremely important to them.
So important and present in their life that one their best friend, Ryan from Los Angeles, composed their own music for one of their processional.
The goal for us was to have seamless music during the ceremony.
For cocktail hour, our two love birds invite their guest to head towards the John M. and Sally B. Thornton Rotunda.
The space echoes the Spanish architectural design of the facade with two stories of open space, a grand staircase and a handcrafted fountain of Cicenza sandstone.

Talking about a grand entrance, our bride and groom, preceded by their bridal party, walked down this beautiful marble staircase, to make their first steps into this world as husband and wife.
Gorgeous!
Then the guests were asked to join the reception to the sculpture court.
The father of the bride delighted the guests with a very original and sentimental moment.
As a professional pianist, he offered a pure show playing and singing, and brought back Angie's memories with a special song she created when she was 11 years old.
We were absolutely speechless in front of such a talented musician.
Live music is always a treat, but when the father of the bride is the musician, it's magical!
Then, came the first dance! We knew that Patrick and Angie had planned a choreography, but their first dance was absolutely perfect! They put such hard work into it, it was amazing to witness!
And then the party started and the dance floor never emptied till the end of the night.
The father of the groom, a natural entertainer, gave us the best air guitar show, for sure Angus McKinnon Young was with us!
All this beautiful event was orchestrated by the talented Brenda Swann from Swann Soirees.
