Congratulations Ronnie and Valerie


This ceremony and reception brought us to a venue at which we have never performed: Hidden Palms in Santa Fe. It’s so pretty! Valerie and Ronnie got married on the island, which is accessed by a bridge, and sits on a pond. The island looks like its right in the middle of a sandy beach, complete with palm trees. The reception itself was indoor/outdoor, with the dinner, toast, and cake cutting taking place inside, while the dancing took place outside.

The colors for the wedding were eggplant (dark purple) and silver. The tables had white table cloths with a wide silver ribbon as a runner, purple floral centerpieces, and silver votive candles. The chairs had white satin chair covers with eggplant ties. It was all very pretty.

Valerie looked gorgeous! Her white satin gown has beautiful in its simplicity. The only embellishment was two rows of beaded accents running around the waistline. She carried an elegant bouquet of white calla lilies. The three girls who walked in the ceremony wore dresses in assorted shades of purple and silver and carried small bouquets of purple and white flowers. Ronnie was handsome in a black tux with a grey vest and tie.

After a delicious dinner and a very nice toast by the father of the Groom, it was cake cutting time. Valerie’s white cake had three stacked tiers, with different designs on each. It was topped by purple and white flowers. Ronnie’s chocolate cake had green ‘grass’ on the top with a large Titleist ‘golf ball’ coming out of it. I guess we know his favorite hobby!

Then it was the first dance, and it was awesome! Right at the end of the song, the venue shot off fireworks. Talk about spectacular! Following was the parent’s dance, and it was on to party time. This crowd was all about Hip Hop, Top 40, and plenty of Jay-Z. But finally, the night came to an end and the Newlyweds headed off to their new life as a married couple. Congratulations!
