A group of truly inspirational ladies joined us in our Santa Barbara loft for a photoshoot last week. Zhena Muzyka is the author of "Life By the Cup", and a publisher at Enliven Books, an imprint of Simon and Schuster.
Just about everything in life goes along with the saying practice makes perfect. Having an awesome coach by your side makes excellence even more achievable. For professionals looking to hone their public speaking skills and personal narratives, Kymberlee Weil, (a.k.a. Strategic Samurai), is that mentor.
After tying the knot at the Presidio Chapel in downtown Santa Barbara these love bugs scurried to The Narrative Loft to start celebrating.
Watching the sunrise on a rooftop in Santa Barbara. Breakfast at Breakfast Culture Club, the hottest new joint in town. A party at a supercool loft space with your closest friends and family by your side and you have a recipe for one of the best days ever.
On a sunny August day Ricky and Kimberly brought even more of their own sunshine to this celebration. From the plethora of sunflowers to their constantly smiling faces, the atmosphere of the loft was happy and bright. This darling couple called each other sweeties for thirteen years before tying the knot. To acknowledge this special number there were thirteen tables, and table cards were of movies they have seen every year together since they've been a couple. Too cute!
Welcome to this beautiful family reunion to celebrate and honor the love of Glen and Marissa. Family and friends pitched in for the entire set-up to make this dream a reality. A glamourous backdrop for the bride and groom was rented from Red Carpet Photo Shoot. Vony's Party Rentals provided tables and chairs while Jolly Jumps brought the fun with their bouncy house. Kids and adults alike were entertained and bounced off their food comas (otherwise known as Polynesian paralysis). Most of the food including a traditional Lechon or slow-roasted pig, Filipino style was prepared by family members while Chinese food was catered by Mandarin Palace.
Sending this lovely couple all the happiness in the world! Witnessing their love was truly special, and seeing them so enamored with each other after nine years together was beautiful. If you have a weakness for all things Japanese, this celebration might make your heart skip a beat. Sweet touches like anime place cards, origami cranes and toasts were made with sake of course!
The celebration marked the joining of two families into one and the night couldn't have happened without the support of the bride and grooms' loved ones. It was a true family affair with kids running around putting smiles on faces. Everyone pulled together to make this rehearsal night special! Bravo to Mike, the groom's father and uncle for preparing a full Italian spread for dinner and to Roberta, the groom's mom for creating a beautiful event down to the last detail.
Can you believe we are almost a third of the way through 2016? Neither can we. Over the last three and a half months we have had the most fantastic events here to date! It is an absolute blast seeing the variety of events taking place here and we have crafted our space with that exact idea in mind. Our space is a blank canvas that people can come create their own unique story in. Check out a few of 2016's one-of-a-kind events!
