Brianna and Dan ~ August 2, 2009 at Calamigos Ranch
Thank you so much for everything! Dan and I were truly amazed by how magical the wedding looked and felt. It is obvious why you, Reverend Barbara, and Lori Vreeke are the WOW girls, as you all work incredibly well together. I can't count how many times we were told that it was the most beautiful wedding ever. I can't believe we were so lucky to have you girls on our team! Thank you so much for making our wedding night absolutely perfect!
Love, Brianna

Kellie & Brent - Maravilla Gardens, Camarillo, CA
Well, the day finally came. It sure seemed a long time since we first met Kellie and Brent...and the big day fianlly happened! This couple will always have a special place in our hearts! 
LETTER FROM THE BRIDE (written the morning after the wedding):
"Good Morning WOW Ladies,
Thank you, thank you, thank you......Words can not express how thankful I am to have each one of you amazing women in my life......Last night was the "dream" wedding that every girl dreams of.....Everything from the timeline, to the amazing kodak moments, kick ass music / dancing, delicious cake to having my own personal make-up artist follow me around. Everything went smoothly and if there were any conflicts...I didn't hear about it. People kept coming up to my "husband" and I and telling us that this was the best wedding they have ever been to. You girls mean the world to me and I couldn't have picked a better group to be apart of my day. And thanks again for the gift that was placed in Brent's car...that was so sweet and thoughtful :) I think we are still both in awe and it hasn't hit us that we are married even though we woke up next to one another this morning. Crazy huh?? I hope we are can stay in contact because I feel that I have created a personal friendship with each one of you and wish you nothing but the best. Thanks Again!! Love you guys!! Mrs. Kellie Shano......"

We LOVE working as a team!
Wedding at The Sunset Restaurant in Malibu. Here's what the bride and groom had to say:
"We originally found Debbie Fields of Floral Fields through our venue's list of vendors. When we first sat down with her, we were impressed by her creative designs, as well as her calm, helpful guidance. Her ideas for the design of the bouquets, chuppah, chandeliers, centerpieces, and the elaborate floral swag for the cake--all so creative, so elegant, so beautiful. When I first saw everything at the wedding, I was just blown away by how beautiful everything was. She did such a wonderful job, I'm so happy with the way everything looked.
Debbie recommended her colleagues at Women of Weddings. We met with Lori Vreeke of Pastries by Vreeke, and after talking with her, looking at photos of her beautiful cakes and tasting very generously-sized slices of several delicious cake flavors, we knew we wanted her to do our cake. The cake was so beautiful, and tasted wonderful. We had many comments from guests along the lines of "I never eat wedding cake, they're usually icky, but this is delicious. Can I have another piece?"Michele Spring of Mia Bella Weddings was our day-of coordinator, and also printed the menus, table numbers and place cards. "Day-of" is somewhat misleading, since she contacted all vendors well before the wedding to make sure everything ran smoothly.
She has a warm, calming personality, and and kept me from freaking out about our officiant being quite late. Because he was so late, things had to be juggled around at the last minute, and she kept it all under control. She even helped me into my dress, and got the big 'ol bow in the back tied just right! Additionally, Michele created the beautiful flourish design for the table numbers, menus, and place cards. Everything was gorgeous, and the ink matched our table linen. We had a lot of comments from guests about how elegant the menus were.What did I like best about Women of Weddings? Talent. Each woman I worked with was just top-notch, best in her field. And Personality. You're working with these people during a very emotional time, and each woman was happy to be there, calm, and organized at the wedding. Exactly what you want at a time like that! I'm so glad I worked with Debbie, Lori and Michele to make my wedding so beautiful." Karen & Robert, wed on April 18, 2009

A nice note from a recent bride....
"Dear WOW,
Thank you soo much for turning my dreams into reality! It was such a pleasure to work with the talented ladies of WOW and feel the constant assurance that everything is going to be perfect. The women really know how to make your special day turn into the most relaxed and joyous occasion of all time.
When I first saw Kimerlee's work I just knew she would be perfect. But then Clark and I met Kimblerlee and it was like no other photographer would even begin to compare to Kimberlee's expertise, great eye, attention to detail, and all around friendliness. She just clicked with us with total ease and I knew we would be in perfect hands. But it didn't stop with Kimberlee. As she referred us to Reverend Barbara and Lori and then to Jennifer, my dream wedding started to turn into reality.
Reverend Barbara brought such a gentleness to the ceremony. It was so personal that each guest felt like they really were a part of something special. Her message spoke so eloquently to Clark and I and when I started to cry (and start and stop and start and stop...), there was Reverend Barbara with her caring smile and soft eyes, ready to hand me a tissue!
Still to this day, I am receiving compliments for the beautiful flowers and ambience Jennifer created. She really captured the spirit and character of Clark and I. After the first meeting, Jennifer effortlessly interpreted the look I was going for and kept all the graces and details I was hoping to achieve. Each floral arrangement was a work of art and portrayed the winter wonderland feel. It was as if Jennifer could read my mind. Not one thing was out of place and the florals graciously flowed from one room to another. Keeping the continuity throughout our entire wedding. It was spectacular!
And what can I say about our wedding cake?? Absolute perfection! It really was a testament when my mom's friend claimed on the drive home "My cigar is melting in my pocket!" Lori created the most amazing cigar box wedding cake. All evening guests would stop and take pictures. Our cake was soo life-like people were honestly mistaking it for a real cigar box. But it was the delicious flavors (carrot and marble) that put it over the top! Lori is a master at cake design and baking!
I have to say what made the day even more special was seeing all the ladies together wishing Clark and I well. At so many weddings, the vendors just up and leave their clients the day of, but WOW really went that extra mile to continue in making sure everything was perfect for us and that we were taken care of. It truly was a joy to work with such professional women who do care about their clients and the well being of the guests; and it shows in their work. You can't fake perfection. WOW is the bar.
Clark and I thank you for the most perfect day and for expertly taking care of us.
With Love,
Julie & Clark Sather"

Julie & Clark were married this last weekend at Calamigos Ranch in Malibu. Four of our WOW members were there and it showed! Jennifer from Belle of the Ball helped transform this location into a winter wonderland.
The Calamigos main patio has never looked magical! Reverend Barbara Laughray helped add to the romantic and loving atmosphere that was created by this wonderful family and couple. Lori from Pastries by Vreeke created a cake that took center stage.
Yes, this cigar box is actually edible! Never has a group of wedding guest ever stared and taken so many photos. On top of that it was delicious! As for photos...they speak for themselves. You can tell that photographer Kimberlee Miller and the couple had a good time! Kimberlee states, "Julie and Clark were so relaxed, so funny and soooo in love. It is always easy to shoot such a nice group of people that are at the wedding for one thing and one thing only...love!" 
Good job WOW ladies!See more photos at www.kimberleemiller.blogspot.com
