We are so excited to welcome Angelina Infante to the ASE team!! She is a Sonoma State graduate with her bachelors in communication. She grew up in a family of entrepreneurs and knows all things of running small businesses. She has several years in event planning but as we know, the most important thing to have to handle the chaos, passion for events. She is driven, organized and a social media extraordinaire. Look out for tons more content that she is already working on rolling out.

It was expected that about 6 million people would get engaged on Valentine's day of 2023. The Monterey Bay is a very popular wedding destination with so many options for backdrops from ocean views to rolling hills to beautiful vineyards. We can't wait to plan with more extraordinary couples like Chelsea and Connor. Engagement photo by Sherman Chu Photographer.

Happy Valentine’s Day. 💕 Celebrating love is what we do and we are blessed with amazing couples just like Emily and Michael.

ASE is happy to take the blankets couples purchase to our local animal shelter. Today we filled up this bin at Monterey County Animal Services thanks to our couple Emily & Michael & their fur baby, Charlie!! ❤️🐾

Here’s one of our lead planners, Emily and her beautiful babygirl dropping off the goods for our furry friends!

Donations can be dropped off in the bins in front of the shelter during normal business hours: Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00am to 5:00pm. For more info, please visit: www.hitchcockroadanimals.org

Happy Thanksgiving! We loved this Fall table scape by Minted from Wedding MBA 2021. Wishing everyone a wonderful holiday weekend. Any new engaged couples?

We are so blessed to have Emily Lazzerini on our team. She gives all our clients top notch service. We love you Emily, and so do your clients. 🥰

A Sparkling Event is a go-to referral of ours for all wedding planning and coordination services!

"Hiring Emily at A Sparkling Event was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding in Carmel this past April. We could not have done it without her and her team! She is amazing! We live in Texas and she put us at ease planning a wedding from out-of-state. She was extremely organized, making our wedding day absolutely stress-free. We knew we were in good hands! She was so responsive during the months before our wedding, answering any questions we had and dealing with any issues that came up. She went above and beyond to make sure that our day was incredibly special! She even slipped away during the reception and somehow managed to decorate our getaway car. We can’t say enough good things about her. She is such as pleasure to work with. We would highly recommend her and A Sparking Event for your wedding!" - Bride and Groom, Quail Lodge

Thank you Princess Monterey Whale Watching for a wonderful evening on the bay.

We were invited on a Hospitality Cruise June 23, 2021. This was the company's first "event" trip. It was a Hawaiian theme with music, dance, food, drinks and Aloha decor.

Thank you to everyone who has served or is serving for our freedom. Thank you to all of the military families that support them as well. We are forever grateful for your service. 🇺🇸

Wedding season is in full swing on the Monterey Bay and we couldn’t be more excited for all the clients finally getting to celebrate after postponements as well as all the new couples who have been planning during the pandemic. With our county opening up more and more, we are welcoming tourists and events back with open arms and hearts. Venue | Photo |

Spring is in the air and we thought this wedding at Quail Lodge & Golf Club was fun to share with all the bright colors. We love when couples go bold and make their weddings pop with color and their personality. Check out what this amazing vendor team put together for their special day and some fun details like their dog Wally's replicated cake topper! Outdoor wedding tip: Tuck the place card into the fork to avoid it being carried away by the wind.

A great read with some good information on what weddings might look like post-Covid 19. Every Last Detail always has great articles with tons of information to use. 💜

Just as with everything surrounding COVID-19, there are way more unanswered questions than absolute knowns. But, as areas start to open up a bit more, you may want to know what your possibilities are for having a post-Coronavirus wedding.

So I turned to ELD’s network of wedding experts to get their insight and find out what they are thinking… here are the elements that may need to change (and some ideas too) for post-Coronavirus weddings:
