I wanted to share some pictures of Sarah Chavez & Andrew Howell's wedding at Vibiana. First of all, I want to say thank you to Sarah and Andrew for letting Lisa Kahn Events help coordinate their wedding.  Your ability to love each other no matter what life threw at you simply amazes me.  Sarah, you are a bride after my own heart. From being involved in every step to personalizing your wedding with handmade touches like creating hangers for the bridal party with their names bent into the metal (which is just one example of many). You are both surrounded by friends and family that love and support you, and it showed throughout the entire planning process. I especially want to thank Gary and Carolyn Chavez, for welcoming me with open arms and making me feel like family. I also want to thank my amazing team. Jamie and Lauren, I could not have done it without you.  Amber Yin of Amber Lighting for the incredible lighting and guidance through the entire process. Michael Brannigan of David Michael Photography for the fabulous photographs and great attitude. Kirsti Schoenrock from A Rental Connection and her team for the fastest turnover I have ever seen. Sean Solan of H2H Entertainment for keeping everyone dancing all night long. And of course Nicole Kingston and her entire staff at Vibiana for helping make sure everything was perfect!

I wanted to share with you the gorgeous pictures I just got from Heidi Ryder for the Bankes & Merker wedding Lisa Kahn Events coordinated at the Four Seasons Westlake Village.  Once again thank you to my fabulous team that helped make this event so amazing. Trish at Hidden Garden Flowers, Barbara at Pat's Catering, Kristi at A Rental Connection, the entire Four Seasons Staff, Heidi Ryder Photography (can't wait to see the pictures) and Entourage from DeBois Entertainment.

Want to transform your venue space into something truly amazing.  Now with LED lights (and a very good lighting company) you can create lighting that not only adds color, but can literally transform your space.  Take a look at the below event Lisa Kahn Events did with AV Lighting Master.  We took the reception space (a beautiful, but simple white tent) and added color and depth.  You can even take it one step further. For this event we changed the lighting during the event and created different moods throughout the night.  First, a romantic amber candle light mood for the Grand Entrance and First Dance, then we added a beautiful shade of hot pink to pick up the mood for dancing after dinner and to top it off, we added a vibrant blue towards the end of the evening that took it to the next level as the guests danced the rest of the night away. 

I wanted to share the wedding photos from the Sasson & Zunder wedding Lisa Kahn Events coordinated in June taken by their photographer Michael Brannigan of David Michael Photography.  Michael, what can I say, you did an outstanding job capturing the beauty of the event and joy of the day. Shanna you look absolutely stunning (and Adam you look very handsome too:-)).  Once again thanks to Howard Entin from AV Masters, Kristi from A Rental Connection and Jackie Combs from Jackie Combs Floral Design for going above and beyond and making this event look so amazing!

 

Last Thursday, Lisa Kahn Events had the joy of coordinating Emet & Michael Wasserman’s wedding at the Bel Air Bay Club. They were referred to me by a good friend (thank you Lea!) and now through this experience, I have made new friends. Emet and Michael, it was a honor to be part of this special time in your life. Your easygoing personalities and love for each other made it a pleasure to work with you. You are surrounded by family and friends who love you and it made your wedding truly unique and special. My feet may be sore, but my heart is happy!

Beautiful engagement photos of Lisa Kahn Events clients taken by Michael Brannigan of David Michael Photography. Shanna and Adam you look absolutely amazing:-)  An engagement photo secession is a great way to get to know your photographer before you wedding and build a repport. Can't wait to share the wedding photos!

Thanks to all of my amazing clients, Lisa Kahn Events is now a Silver Rated Vendor on Wedding Wire!

5 days of set up, and one amazing wedding! My feet may be sore, but my heart is happy.  Lisa Kahn Events coordinated the Sasson & Zunder wedding on Sunday, June 10, 2012.  It was beautiful backyard wedding for two very beautiful families. The color pallet was white and cream with blush accents with orchids, peonies, roses and hydrangea (I attached some photos I took from my camera). My favorite touch was in the ceremony where we added rod iron end tables with a floating white dahlia (I have to say they were the biggest dahlia’s I have ever seen).  I want to thank Shanna, Adam and their family for letting me be a part of their wedding. Don’t think I am going to stop calling you just because the wedding is over. I also want to thank the amazing team that all worked together to make it happen.  My wonderful assistants Judith, Lauren and Hannah. Rabbi Warren Levy. The extraordinary Jackie Combs of Jackie Combs Floral Design for her breathtaking flowers and know exactly what the client wanted.  Cathryn VanBreen from The Studio Agency and Joseph Ledda Hair for making the girls so fabulous. AV Masters and A Rental Connection for turning this wedding into the client’s vision.  DeBois Entertainment and High Rize for the music that kept us dancing all night.  Alligator Pear for their tasty food and No Udder Desserts for the amazing vegan cake (yes it was a vegan cake and it was delicious). ShutterBooth, Uptown Restrooms, SJ Linking Systems and The Cappuccino Club for the little extras. Doug Brannigan from Envision Productions and Michael Brannigan from David Michael Photography for capturing the day (I can not wait to see the video and photos).

Had a great time at the Athenaeum Bridal Open House with my clients, Sarah, Kelly, David and Carolyn. It was beautiful and inspiring. Great job to everyone at the Athenaeum! They even have a photobooth, how could we resist:-) I am looking forward to the wedding day in November.

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!
