Step into a galaxy far, far away, where the stars aligned in an extraordinary celebration of love. Join us as we explore Angela and Cesar’s fun and classy Star Wars-themed wedding at Sierra La Verne! Angela shared how the pair incorporated their personal touch to their big day:

We did a Star Wars themed wedding! Our big day had decor and memorabilia throughout the wedding. The wedding party had lightsabers, we designed the seating chart to look like the start of the Star Wars movies, and we had a dessert bar with Star Wars memorabilia on the table. Our hashtag, Rise of Ortiz, fit perfectly! It was enough to entertain the theme but still kept it somewhat traditional for the wedding feel.

Angela and Cesar clearly put tons of thought and effort into crafting a wedding that reflects their style and journey as a couple. They had a helpful tip when it comes to sourcing vendors:

Make your life easier and go with the vendors the Sierra La Verne team recommends! We looked around and realized how amazing the vendors are, most importantly RELIABLE and how affordable they are as well! We went with John W. Photography, JC Entertainment, Joining Hearts, and the Double Tree Hilton Hotel in Claremont for a room block. Every vendor was easy to work with, especially with our busy schedules! Make sure they are a good fit with you; if they are not for you entertain the other vendors on the list to see if they are a better fit. I typically go off of the energy vendors give me when working with them and I was not disappointed once! Our group of vendors were amazing!! I could go on and on about the great services and experiences my husband and I had with all of them.

The couple opted for a first look, which allowed them to capture gorgeous photos around the grounds at Sierra La Verne. The gorgeous willow tree, which was the backdrop of their first look, is one of Angela’s favorite features about the venue, in addition to so much more:

The willow tree is an amazing spot to take photos! The Sierra room was my favorite as it looked over the lawn area and has an amazing chandelier with drapery that is already part of the venue. But honestly, the absolute BEST feature they offer is the team that makes your big day possible! They made our vision come true! The team works so cohesively and remembers the details down to the smallest detail the bride and groom want to incorporate in their day! The team truly made the day go by so smoothly and I am very grateful for them all! I could list so much more but the unique feature that I want to highlight is the affordable venue, vendors and the team helping every step of the way to help the couple plan accordingly without missing a beat!
