We were so happy to meet Allison and Andrew for their menu tasting as they plan their June 2025 wedding at the beautiful in Templeton. It’s such a gorgeous venue, and we can’t wait to be part of their special day!

Here’s a bit about their journey, shared by Allison:

“We met in 2016 as juniors at San Diego State University. Both of us were psychology majors and ended up taking all our classes together. After graduation, I pursued a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy, while Andrew took a different path into Private Equity.

We’ve been together for eight amazing years and love living in the South Bay, where we’re just a short walk from the beach. We got engaged in December 2023 while traveling in Thailand—a fun full-circle moment since our first date was eating Thai food in the bed of Andrew’s truck at the beach.” ❤️

Popolo Catering was on-site for 🍷Monday Nights at Stellar’s Cellar, where everyone has been taking turns cooking for the crowd. If you know Papa Popolo, you know cooking for others is his passion—so Leon stepped up to the plate and knocked it out of the park! 💯 He loved preparing his menu and cooking each dish to order for our guests.

The night featured a delicious pasta bar with seasonal sautéed veggies and garlic-buttered French bread.

A huge thank you to Andi Keblesh, the amazing manager at Stellar’s Cellar, for having us and always being so wonderful. You’re the reason we keep coming back! ❤️
