Annie has wonderful attention to detail,
and does an amazing job presenting her
scrumptious dishes. Some of my favorites
are her jumbo shrimp lollipops, mini
grilled cheese sandwiches, and I’ve even
chased after the server for her cinnamon
roll lollipops. As a floral designer, I
love how she artfully presents her
serving trays with excellent use of
fresh flowers and cool mini ceramic
cups, bowls and spoons. Definitely worth
checking out! |

Ranch

Carmel Valley Ranch provides a beautiful
backdrop to your special day, and allows
your family and friends the opportunity
to relax and enjoy a pre or post wedding
game of golf, or a scenic walk through
the beautiful grounds. I find that often
times weddings at this venue are more
special and intimate because the guests
are also enjoying their own vacation,
and as a result the couples enjoy a
weekend long celebration as opposed to
simply a five hour event. I
wholeheartedly, without reservation,
recommend Carmel Valley Ranch for your
special day. |
