Details, details, details! 💫 Cassie + Naylin's August wedding was a masterclass in making colors work their magic. Their dreamy mix of sage, soft pinks, and light blues tied everything together—bridesmaids' dresses, a sweet welcome statement, florals, the seating chart, and even their vow books. It’s proof that a well-thought-out color story can be both subtle and show-stopping, bringing all the intended vibes to your special day. event property @lighthousegcm coordinator, dj, photo booth @cupkeykevents caterer, bartenders, waitstaff @californiarosecatering @cali.alley photographer @cranes_photography cotton candy @bougiefluff hairstylist @jackiethahairgician makeup @jazmin.yanez jewelry @maeve.permanentjewelry rentals @chairsforaffairsconcord florals @sweetnessandlightflowers cake @kupcaken

Even hail on their wedding day didn't keep C+B from giving us a glowing 5-star review! "Maggie was an absolute delight to work with, and Crystal saved the day letting us know a big hail storm was coming! 😅 When hail came the team worked to keep our guests dry, they literally dried off every single chair and got out the leaf blowers to clear away the inch of hail on the grass!" That's The Lighthouse way 😊🌴 Check out more of their review and their photos of their inspiring citrus-themed wedding in the reel.

Don't take our word for it. We asked some of our creative partners, "If you could describe The Lighthouse property in one word, what would it be?" These were their replies ☝🏼☝🏼 What word would YOU add to this list?

Yesterday was the official kick-off of our season with the first wedding of 2024. It was a heartfelt, fun-filled celebration in honor of the sweetest couple, Michelle + Alan Ray. After days of on-and-off downpour, unsure we'd be able to have the ceremony outside, the clouds parted ways for the better half of the day, allowing for beautiful sunshine from their pre-ceremony through cocktail hour. Our team even got to escort them to the terrace outside of our office for a special moment, their First Touch, right before the ceremony. Shout out to the amazing vendors who stayed ready to produce an amazing event, rain or shine -- and for the Sun, the real MVP! 😄🌞 Personal photos taken by the Day-of Coordinator, Social Media Maven + 2017 Lighthouse bride, Brittanie 🌴 event venue + coordination @lighthousegcm catering @96hbrandcatering beverage service + bartender @thetravelingsaloon music @markaddingtonevents photographer @arthurmendoza_media cake and cupcakes @foxandfawnbakehouse linen napkins @chairsforaffairsconcord bouquets + arch + cake blooms + centerpieces @_peaceandblooms decoration rentals + bud vases + dessert setup @crystal_francisco lighthouse bride @moo_chelle lighthouse groom @ral_stars

We're always so grateful to get glowing reviews from clients, but it's something special when a member of the family chooses to review us. Today, we're celebrating this 5-star review from a wonderful MOB, whose daughter and son-in-law exchanged vows in November. K+M chose to marry at St. Dominic's Church nearby before joining family and friends at The Lighthouse for a beautiful reception that included champagne, delicious bites, and quite frankly one of the best dance parties we've seen! We'll let the mother of the Bride tell it: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "The Lighthouse at Glen Cove Marina was the absolute perfect venue for our Daughter's November Wedding. From start to finish; booking, planning through the day of, Crystal, Maggie and Alma were the dream team! Though the couple chose to have a church wedding, Crystal worked with us and all vendors on the timeline and kept the reception moving along and the guests feeling welcome and happy. Fortunately, with beautiful weather the cocktail hour was held outdoors as planned, Crystal did have a contingency plan just in case, which eased any stress we would have had. Guests were amazed at the beauty of the property and convenient location and a few stated they look forward to hosting an event here! Our daughter and her new husband couldn't be happier with their most perfect day. Thank you, Lighthouse staff!" // venue & coordination @lighthousegcm photographer @mariellehayes_photo florals @dolfloral sound @verduccievents champagne wall & linen rentals @quantumpartypro wedding gown @bhldn catering & beverage @havanacatering
