At Wedgewood Weddings, it is our goal to make every memory extra-specials for the happy couples who say 'I do' to our venues. See what Lillian and Josh had to say about their experience at Pacific View Tower by Wedgewood Weddings:

"Ginny was incredible! She made our day and everything leading up to it more memorable. Someone make that lady employee of the century!"
- Lillian and Josh

Lillian carried a lush bouquet of soft roses and bright greenery

Lillian and Josh's picture-perfect beach wedding ceremony could not have happened on a more beautiful day. The sun shone brightly for this duo and the photos captured just how lovely the wedding was:

"Lillian and Josh's wedding was such a fun day to be a part of! We always love doing beach ceremonies and we especially loved their sweet dog. This wedding gave us the best of both worlds!"
- Ginny, Pacific View Tower

Lillian and Josh shared an intimate moment on the beach during their FIRST LOOK

Lillian and Josh coordinated first-look photos overlooking the Pacific Ocean to capture the intimate moments before their wedding ceremony. The couple was clearly so in love and eager to spend the rest of their lives together. They even included their new puppy in a few shots in order to capture a family portrait!

"Lillian & Josh were so photogenic and easy to work with! Plus, it was such a beautiful beach day - so perfect for their wedding! They wanted special time for photos with their puppy (a friend brought it to the beach just for the 10 minutes of photos) Loved that!"
- Blendi, Sun Dance Photography

Lillian and Josh said 'I do' against a setting sun overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Guests were seated along the beach and a beautiful arch adorned with white and pink flowers was the pinnacle of the wedding ceremony.

During the whole planning process, Lillian and Josh remained calm, cool, and collected. This laid-back couple took the ocean vibes to heart and enjoyed every moment of their beach wedding:

"Easy going & relaxed. They submitted their worksheets in a timely manner, were available for our mutually agreed upon phone consultation and trusted me wholeheartedly to execute all of their musical/timeline details throughout the event. Beach Ceremonies seem to automatically bring out a more laidback vibe overall and while wedding planning and prep generally tend to be excruciatingly stressful, they seemed to take everything in stride, remain completely present and enjoy every moment of their special day. Congratulations again! It was an honor and a privilege being a part of their festivities and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!"

the botanical wedding decor added a touch of whimsy to the entire event

Lillian and Josh picked soft pink and green hues for their wedding decor that was beautifully accented by gold elements. Their three-tier wedding cake was adorned with blush roses and a Mr. & Mrs. cake topper that was later joined by a macabre skeleton bride and groom. Guests enjoyed sweeping views overlooking the City of Oxnard and Venture County during the reception, featuring a glowing sunset that turned into twinkling night stars.
