What could be even a lot more lovely than a panoramic Property except (and nevertheless in addition to) the city be? Surrounded by nature, in the fresh air, with a see of the sea, pool, mountain, or forest …
When you enter the apartment of my sister, the sea in the eye if 1 now! The views framed the complete apartment. No matter what area it is, you have to optical entry to the shimmering water. Substantial on the cliffs, away from the dirty-Centre and fairly apart from the Black Sea! I inform you, from the second did it on what shit me how my sister would use to decorate and furnish the apartment. I’m sure that all prima look is … with a see looking for acts each apartment fairytale.

Matt and Ross are law-school-sweethearts and while both work in New York, they have strong ties in California and wanted to celebrate their marriage there. The couple had this to say about their stunning WATTLES MANSION & GARDENS venue: “The venue was completely magical….old Hollywood glamour in the Hills with beautiful tiered gardens in the back and a sloping lawn in the front. The Mansion has a real sense of place and history.” We’re loving the way the couple let the backdrop of the gardens shine with an elegant all-white palette and florals from SWISSBLOOM. The day was all about family and friends and BIRDS OF A FEATHER captured all the joyful moments and beautiful scenery. Enjoy!
What made the wedding special and unique?
It felt incredibly intimate, and we were able to incorporate both family and friends into the day. We live in New York but have strong roots in California, where we met and where Matt grew up, so it was wonderful to have our loved ones from both coasts together for the weekend. Our wedding party was a combination of our sisters and our close friends from New York. Our mothers walked us down the aisle; our fathers each gave a wedding toast; our nephews were the ring bearers, and our niece read a passage from “The Velveteen Rabbit.”
The venue was completely magical. We looked at all types of venues and determined that we were more interested in a non-traditional space. The minute we saw the Wattles Mansion we knew it was perfect – old Hollywood glamour in the Hills with beautiful tiered gardens in the back and a sloping lawn in the front. The Mansion has a real sense of place and history. The only drawback is that it’s not a dedicated event space, so we needed to bring everything in – generators, every chair, table and fork, lighting, speakers etc. This is where our amazing caterer and planner, Modern Art Catering, came in. They were amazing!! They were able to coordinate all vendors, set-up, talent and production with complete grace!
Both grooms wore tuxes by Burberry, where a close friend of the grooms is an artistic director. Matt wore a blue silk dinner jacket with tuxedo pants, and Ross wore a blue wool tuxedo. Our wedding party wore all black.
What were some touches added to make it personal?
The whole day was incredibly personal, but it made it even more special to involve our families every step of the way.
One fun way we personalized the reception was with the food from Modern Art Catering: rather than a plated meal at each table, we had food stations in the gardens. We had three stations themed after three cities where we have lived together – San Francisco, Miami and New York. The San Francisco station was farm-to-table and Asian-inspired dishes (like noodles in petite Chinese take-out containers); the Miami station was Latin inspired dishes (shrimp in bamboo cones, ropa vieja), and the New York station was classic NYC (steak and potatoes).
We had been together for 13 years before getting married, but this was the first time that some of our family members and friends had met one another, so the focus of the event was on the guests. We wanted this to be a fun party first and foremost. So, upon arrival, we had cocktails and passed hors d’oeuvres and a jazz band playing (the fact that it was a beautiful day in L.A. helped too).
The ceremony was short and sweet – one of our oldest and best friends officiated and gave a touching introduction (there was not a dry eye in the place). The feeling when we turned around after being married to face all our close friends and family and walk down the aisle was one we will never forget. The band played “That’s Amore” for our recessional song – such a classic!
Then, it returned to being a party. We had food stations, so it would be informal – allowing guests to mingle. Also, there was never a line to wait for food. We did have seat assignments and beautiful flowers and place settings, so it still felt like a beautiful event, but speeches were kept to a minimum, and the focus was really on the guests and making sure that they were having a good time. It was wonderful to see all of the most important friends and family members in the same place at the same time enjoying a great party.
What was the most memorable part of the day?
Honestly, the entire day was so memorable. Our flower girls and ring bearers stole the show, though. Involving close friends and family members (including the kids) into the event was very special. Our ceremony took place on a landing up several stairs in a tiered garden. It is fairly easy for adults to manage the stairs, but a couple of our flower girls (in flowing white dresses) had the hardest time making it up the stairs. One of the other flower girls, who was a little bit older, helped them along. It was the most precious sight to see – and completely unplanned.
Tell us how you met and became engaged.
We met at law school at the University of California, Hastings in San Francisco. After law school, we spent a year in Miami, while Ross was clerking and Matt was studying for the bar exam. We then moved to New York together to work for law firms in Manhattan. We had been together for years when, on the night that the U.S. Supreme Court declared that gay marriage was legal in the entire country, we decided to finally tie the knot. We got married just over 3 months later.

You guys won’t believe the sweet story behind today’s intimate elopement at Weathervave Cafe in Denver, Colorado. Ashley + Remo came all the way from Italy to say their I Dos at the coffee shop where they first met and the beauty was captured perfectly by Our Love Is Loud, who A + R hired after finding right here on GWS!! 🙂
Ashley tells us, Remo and I met in Denver in 2013. I was working and living there for a year with some friends. Remo was there for a few months visiting his aunt and learning English. The woman I worked for is good friends with his aunt. She told me he was new in town and she thought we could meet so he could join our group of friends. Two weeks later we met at Weathervane Cafe for coffee. Two years and a couple of trips to Italy later, we were brainstorming wedding locations in Colorado. We knew we wanted to elope and have a ceremony/party the following year when our families could be together. We thought about finding a place in the mountains, but decided we wouldn’t have much time to scope out a spot the day before the wedding. I playfully mentioned Weathervane one day, and he said, “Wait, why not? That’s perfect!” If we were going back to Colorado to get married, why not do it where we met?
Our Favorite Memory From The Wedding
My favorite memory is actually the night before our wedding, when we sat in bed and wrote our vows together side by side. We kept them secret from each other, but sitting next to someone when you are thinking of all the reasons why you love them and why you have chosen them was very special. Remo’s favorite memory was getting ready in the hotel that morning, the excitement leading up to our little ceremony.
My mom made my dress and my sister made Remo’s bow tie and handkerchief. Remo’s Cerruti suit was made in his hometown in Italy and we found our rings in a neighboring village.
Our Advice To Those Planning Now
Try not to let the stress take over. Your family and friends may be disappointed that they didn’t get an invite, but this day is about what feels best for the two of you. They love you and they are happy for you. Maybe think of ways they could feel included in your day or plan a little something with them afterward. Even small elopements can be stressful, but you can’t let little things overcloud the purpose of the day. Enjoy every little moment! Writing about it later can help you remember how the entire day felt forever.

Kearsarge Guest Property is a residential project designed by Kurt Krueger Architects.
It is situated in Brentwood, California, USA.
Kearsarge Guest Property by Kurt Krueger Architects:
“The Kearsarge Guest House is a new stand-alone guest property on the house of the 1968 M.G. Residence by the Romanian-American mid-century modernist architect Haralamb H. Georgescu.
The guest house replaces an outdated turn-of the century wooden agricultural shed and nearly replicates the footprint of 25’x14’. Simply because of the limitations of the hillside great deal, it was not attainable to locate the guest home in the rear yard, so the aim was to integrate this into the front yard entry method.
In addition, the owners sought after to have a higher flat flip-all around and parking area while not taking away the usable outdoor area at the best of the hill. Our answer was to add in a new retaining wall to hold the earth back along the hillside and cantilever the guest home in excess of the wall, the two producing much more outside area at the top of the hill for the guest residence, but the cantilever produces its very own carport for the owners motorcycles and bikes.
At the entryway we took advantage of the landing and walkway to the guest house by creating a water feature with split-faced basalt. Also to honor the unique architect and generate a generational hyperlink amongst the past and existing, we integrated the sculpture of the Haralamb Georgescu’s son, Christopher to the front entry and assists to distinguish one’s arrival.”
