Wedding Chicks Happy Hour

We’ve had so much fun in Portland! Met amazing people, ate some of the best food known to man, stayed at the coolest hotel; pretty much the best time ever. Hello Little Bird Bistro we literally cried tears over this meal … let’s just say mini macarons arrived with our check. Besides eating our way through this eclectic city, we had a little meet and greet with some of Portland’s finest wedding professionals and it was way fun. We want to personally thank all of our new besties below for coming to meet us and officially launching Wedding Chicks Happy Hour.

Yee Haw … yep you guessed it, we are heading to the Lone Star State next. If you are interested in meeting jocey and amy for the next Wedding Chicks Happy Hour, we would love to buy you a drink and possibly have some bbq with you. Be sure to email amy if you are in Texas and are interested in more info.

A HUGE thank you to:

Montecito Garden Wedding

At first our next couple was set on a destination wedding, but as soon as they saw the Monastery in Toro Canyon – it was love at first sight. This unique property in Montecito had everything they could have ever wanted: modern architecture, gorgeous landscaping and a breathtaking view.

With a small guest list and cocktail party feel, they were able to spend time with each and every guest and enjoy the atmosphere without it flying by in a blink of an eye. Enjoy more of this Montecito garden wedding in the full wedding gallery and read more from the bride by clicking here. Beautifully captured by one of our Hand-Picked wedding vendors Patrick Moyer.
