In addition to having the Browner & White featured in the 2012 Ceremony Magazine, they also helped create this fabulous ad.  Thank you to the entire team at Ceremony Magazine!  Remember, Shine Bright, it is your day:-)

I alway love a good photobooth:-)  This weekend we had the fantastic SoCal ShutterBooth at the Bank and Merker wedding.  They brought props, an amazing attitude and we a lot of fun.  It is really a great way to keep memories of all the people at your wedding.  You can even personalize it with at logo or motif like Sara and Haben did.  Sara and Haben, you both are too cute!

The beautiful Bride, Sarah Merker, at the wedding Lisa Kahn Events coordinated last night at the Four Seasons Westlake Village.  I just wanted to say thank you to the entire Banks and Merker families for letting me share the special day with you.  It was a stunning event and I met some amazing people!  Also a quick thank you to my fabulous staff (Judith, Jamie and Alma), Trish at Hidden Garden Flowers (the flowers were breathtaking), Barbara at Pat's Catering, Krisiti at A Rental Connection, the entire Four Seasons Staff, Heidi Ryder Photography (can't wait to see the pictures), and Entourage from DeBois Entertainment who rocked all night long!

Another great award for us! Lisa Kahn Events has won the 2012 WeddingWire Bride's Choice Award. The WeddingWire Bride's Choice Awards recognizes the best local wedding vendors who demonstrate quality and service excellence within the wedding industry.  Unlike other awards in which winners are selected by the organization, the WeddingWire Bride's Choice Awards are determined by the quality, quantity, recency, and consistency of reviews from over 1.2 million WeddingWire newlyweds.  Thank you to all my amazing Brides and Grooms who made this possible.

What an amazing event and what a fabulous couple! Lisa Kahn Events was honored to coordinate Chris Yorks and Katherine Voll wedding in August at Temescal Gateway Park.  The couple's easy going personality and love for the outdoors and adventure was evident throughout the entire wedding.  From their ceremony set in an open field underneath a beautiful mature sycamore tree to their personalized escort carabiner hooks.  That is right, carabiner hooks, the couple both share a passion for mountain climbing.  The flowers also reflected the outdoors with succulents, white ranunculus and accent of yellow craspedia tied in twine.  With personal touches like tables named after their favorite mountains to climb and catered food provided by their date-night place, The Parks Finest BBQ (they even had the cute bibs made for the guests to keep their clothes clean). But my favorite personal touch of all was the dessert table with dozens of pies, instead of a wedding cake, provided by personal friends Porch Pies and Babalu. YUMMY! Thank you to all the other vendors that made this wedding so wonderful, Joyce at Temescal, Kristi and her team at A Rental Connection, Tracey Russell and her amazing appetizers, BarTime Staffing, Natalie Eidelman Photography, Jeremy Pangilina Photography, Byron, Mark Huruitz, DJ Adam Iscove, Tumbleweed, Juan Juan Salon, Vanessa Flores Makeup and my amazing team!

Lisa Kahn Events is honored to have won The Knot Best Of Weddings 2012 Award for Los Angeles.  Thank you to all my amazing clients who made 2011 such a great year.  I am looking forward to 2012!

Lisa Kahn Events recently coordinated the wedding of Lacey Adkisson and Grant Blindbury at La Venta Inn and I wanted to share some pictures with you.  The amazing event was photographed by Michael Brannigan of David Michael Photography. The bride looked beautiful on the inside and outside with gorgeous hair and makeup by Stromi Yates. The decor was breathtaking with the panoramic views of the ocean, Spanish architectural detail, red roses everywhere, a little crystal bling, navy accents and lighting provided by G2 Audio and Lighting.  With personal touches like including their son in the wedding, their close family friend officiating the ceremony, serving the couples favorite drink during cocktail, and a cake topper that looked exactly like the couple, you could see the Bride and Groom were surrounded by love and amazing people.  Everyone danced the night away to Time Warp and it was truly an honor to be a part of.

I am happy to announce that Lisa Kahn Events has a wedding featured in Your Wedding Day Magazine Fall/Winter 2011 issue. Thank you to all the vendors that helped make this event so special.  A special thank you to Focus Photography for their amazing pictures, Camilla Flowers of for her fabulous flowers, and the entire staff at Bacara Spa and Resort.  To learn more about the couple, Carrie and Shawn, check out the article written by Liz Hummer below or get the magazine at your local Barns and Noble and turn to page 94.  There are a lot of other great weddings and ideas to inspire you.

Here are a few images from the Katz & Milkovich wedding Lisa Kahn Events coordinated at Sherwood Country Club.  Thank you to the Katz and Milkovich families for letting me be a part of this special day.  As you can see by the amazing pictures from Michael Brannigan of David Michael Photography, it was truly an amazing event!  Jackie Combs of Jackie Combs Floral Design, your flowers looks almost as amazing as they looked in person. A special thanks to the entire Sherwood Country Club staff for making sure everything was perfect and on time.  And thank you to Rabbi/Cantor Alison Wissot at Temple Judea and Peter Chang of Studio 205 Films, it was a pleasure working with you and getting to know you.

I am excited to share some pictures of a wedding Lisa Kahn Events coordinated for Elisa Rodriguez and George Cunningham that were taken by the fabulous Nicole Goddard Photography.  Nicole and Cara, you did an amazing job capturing the wedding day and the love, joy and fun shared by everyone.  Elisa and George, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your special day.  You both are genuine, kind and loving people and it was a pleasure working with you getting to know your family and friends. Also, thank you to all the other vendors that made this event so great: Dr. Kimber Wilks for officiating an amazing ceremony, Robert Simon at Bistro 45 for the coolest reception venue in Pasadena, High Rize Band from DeBois Entertainment for keeping every one dancing all night long, Ariel’s Flowers for the beautiful flowers,  for a breathtaking ceremony venue and Dolphin Rentals for moving everything at least twice all with a smile.  A special thanks to my assistants Moriah Snyder and Tracy Russell.

I wanted to share some photos from Kenna Klein's Bat Mitzvah that Lisa Kahn Events coordinated in April. Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this event so amazing and to the Kleins for letting me be a part of this very special time.

Have you ever thought of doing a Post Wedding Photo Session? Not too many bride/grooms do it, but it is a great idea!  Think about wearing your wedding clothes, but change your appearance slightly from your wedding day.  This way you get a greater variety of pictures to choose from, all with the same feel. For examples, pictured below are my client's, Carrie & Shawn Costantino, who wore their wedding clothes but changes their hair styles (Carrie's hair is down and Shawn grew a beard- see their wedding photos in the blog dated March 8, 2011). Then their amazing photographer, Caitlin of Focus Photography, mixed it up by shooting at a different beach location (their wedding was at Bacara Spa & Resort and this was shoot at Table Rock Beach in Laguna Beach). I believe that if you decided to do a Post Wedding Photo Session you will find that the experience is more relaxed and fun because the stress of the big day is over and it will show in the pictures.  Try it and let me know!

Here are a few pictures I took of the Klein Bat Mitzvah Lisa Kahn Events coordinated last night.  What a fantastic event and a wonderful family. Mazel Tov and thank you for letting me be a part of this special event in your lives!  Also thank you to everyone that worked so hard to make this event so amazing. A special thanks to my assistants who worked so hard, Spectra for their fabulous space and food by Wolfgang Puck, BV Floral Concepts for his beautiful flowers, G2 Audio and Lighting for their extraordinary lights, BGS Productions for his moving video montage and CheckOne2 Entertainment for keeping everyone dancing all night long.  I can not wait to see the real photos from Focus Photography.

The pictures from Carrie Green & Shawn Costantino wedding are here and I wanted to share a few of them with you.  Caitlin, of Focus Photography, you did an amazing job capturing the intimacy of beauty of this event. Carrie and Shawn you love shined thought in every picture, event in the rain! To read more about this amazing event and couple check out my blog from January 8th.
