Troy and Irene's The Prado at Balboa Park Wedding
Irene decided in her late twenties that she was ready to get married. She told her friends that she was looking and they would set her up on random dates, blind dates, friends of friends, family members, cousins, anyone who was serious.
Little did she know that Troy was there all along. They met at work and started as friends. They began hanging out outside of work with mutual friends and noticed that their was a little bit of flirting that was happening naturally.
After some time, Troy couldn’t hold back no more, and he finally asked her out.
And now here we are, ready to tie the knot.
Irene and Troy planned their entire destination wedding in 5 months with the help of the vendor team. They had a vision and we were glad to work together at the Prado in Balboa to make it happen.
One of their visions was to have smoke during their first dance. A vision I quickly made into reality.
One of the best first dances I've seen. The smoke carried through the dance floor to give a fairy tale ambiance while Troy took Irene on a beautifully choreographed first dance. The room exploded with emotion after they finished.
Once our first dance was done, we had help from our Hip hop Violinist Josh Vietti at www.joshvietti.com to wow us though dinner music.
Speeches came shortly after dinner was over. After having a toast with the room, our bride and groom made it a priority to go to every table to thank everyone personally.
After the majority of the formalities were done, we went to straight party mode!
I see a long future with Troy and Irene. Thank you for letting me be part of this incredible wedding and for your patience and support.
There was a lot going into this wedding, and I want to personally thank a few team members that made it possible.
