Pine Hills Lodge Wedding Planner

I have to admit, I LOVE the Pine Hills Lodge! The rustic charm, multiple spaces for weddings and events, and the cabins!! It is so great and not too far from San Diego!

Such a perfect place for a wedding.

Megan and Zach were married on a blazing hot day in June.  It was such a fun time for all that made the trip, booking out all the room and cabins to spend the weekend with the couple.


Zach is the son of a former San Diego Charger player, so many fun nods to that were in place. Including the Chargers theme song as the groom's parents made their entrance.

I have to say, the highlight of this wedding was probably the mini family reunion that occured.  Megan has an estranged brother that lives in Northern California, and he was on his way down for the wedding.  He didn't make it in time for the ceremony, and he called when he was near to let them know he was still coming.  So I hopped in my car and went in search of him.  Well I found him and brought him back. And the touching reunion was so wonderful to witness! We all shed a tear.
Congratulation to you both! And the very best of wishes to you and your new family!

San Diego Baby Shower

Instead of the normal wedding posts, today I am sharing a very special baby party we held for a dear friend.
Chris Wojdak of Chris Wojdak Photography is having baby #2,  and it's a boy!

So in honor of her, and him, we gathered some of her nearest and dearest to have a baby party. We had food, fun, and people brought their generous items there sons had outgrown or never even used!
