Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel Wedding – Julie & Tony


It is an incredible and beautiful occasion when a couple pledges their love to one another, and was nothing less than that for our lovely couple, Julie & Tony. Having been together for nine long years before getting married, we could definitely feel the love! 

J & T chose to celebrate their commitment to one another at the Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel in sunny Dana Point, Orange County. The ceremony was perched atop a 150-foot bluff overlooking the California coast with a spectacular ocean view from The Gazebo Lawn. Guests took in the sun as they listened to the musical finesse of romantic cellist Hitoshi Suzuki. Our couple chose to go with a purple and pinks color theme with blends of lavender calla lilies, plum dahlias, and orchids florals just to name a few.

The cocktail hour following the ceremony in the Pavilion Patio of the Ritz-Carlton was a blend of both American and Japanese influences. The couple lavished their guests with a hand-crafted sushi station in addition to tray passed hors d’oeurves that included coconut crusted shrimp and smoked gouda prosciutto paninis.

J & T danced their way with their wedding party into the dinner reception to Psy’s Gangnam Style and we can confidently say that they all had some pretty sweet moves! Following their three course dinner, a few very special speeches and the traditional bouquet and garter tosses, the couple got the party started with their guests on the dance floor while other guests enjoyed the Foto Cabina Photobooth. We are so happy for the both of you and wish you all the best!

Ritz-Carlton, Laguna Niguel Wedding – Yi & Kevin


The DNTeam has seen our share of Southern California weddings, and some of our favorite venues are the beachfront properties that capture the beauty of the California coast. The Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, a luxury beach resort located in coastal Orange County perches atop a 150-foot bluff with cascading views of the Pacific Ocean. Our lovely couple Yi & Kevin had their wedding celebration on the Gazebo Lawn complete with Brazilian guitarist, Gustavo Teixeira, followed by a reception in the Terrace Salon of this coastal property.

The couple’s wedding day was a classic white wedding with ivory and pastel floral arrangements of hydrangeas, roses, and more by Tustin Florist, with elegant details like hanging crystal accents and floating candles in ivory ribbon wrapped glass cylinders. Y&K also added personal touches to the details of their day with items like a fingerprint tree guest book and a personalized Chinese doll cake topper. Yi also added to the traditional flare of the day by changing into a colorful yellow qípáo with beautiful hand sewn sequin detailing.

The couple served their guests a decadent three-course meal with options of New York Strip Steak, Stuffed Free-Range Chicken Breast and Parmesan Crusted Pacific Halibut with the Ritz-Carlton signature Chocolate Lover’s Wedding Cake for dessert! Y&K’s guests also enjoyed a photo montage of their love story and ended the night with an evening of lots and lots dancing.  This group definitely knew how to celebrate!  Congrats, Yi & Kevin!
