Our First Wedding

We coordinated our first wedding on November 11^th 2011 at the world renowned Claremont Hotel Club & Spa, in Berkeley, California. Although it was a rainy day, it was still a beautiful day for lucky couple…our very own Allyson & Anthony Eashman. 

Allyson grew up in the North Oakland/South Berkeley area, and saw the Claremont everyday. As a little girl she always imagined that her fairytale wedding would take place there. Well, all her dreams came true. Their ceremony took  place in the Sonoma room, which has a panoramic view of the San Francisco Bay Area. Their Social Hour took place downstairs in the Horizon room, which also has a scenic view, and for their reception, all the guest were moved across the hall to the Claremont Ballroom. Guest dined on a 5star 3 course meal, provided by Executive Chef Josh Thomsen, and then were treated to a delectable slice of wedding cake, provided by Katrina Rozelle Pastries and Deserts. 

When we asked the bride and groom, what their vision was, Anthony, who was deployed at the time, deferred to Allyson's vision. She said she wanted, to have fun, but still some tradition and lots of pink. Much to our surprise, Anthony and Allyson got married in Clarksville, Tennessee, on November 5th 2010, while Anthony was on R&R from Afghanistan. She said she wanted to keep that quiet and shock everyone on the day of. So we did just that. Mums the word!!
