INTERVIEW (Part 3):
10. Are our brides more traditional or more unique?
We definitely appeal to more unique Brides & Grooms! I find that most couples have either a personal tie or connection to Bass Lake and to the Yosemite area in general. We host a lot of fun loving wedding groups who love the great outdoors!!
11. Do we see any themed weddings?
Yes! We have hosted several themed weddings actually! We have had a Mickey & Minnie theme, Mad Hatter theme, Beauty & the Beast theme… seems like Disney is popular for themes! In addition, we have also seen our fair share of rustic country themes too of course.
12. What will 2017 bring to wedding department?
My favorite trend, that I believe will continue into 2017 is definitely using greenery and table garlands. I also see wine barrel rings and other innovative chandeliers continuing into 2017, as well as fun drapery on everything from ceremony arches to reception walls. In addition, muted colors are becoming so popular too, but I see some more bold colors coming to play in 2017 as well!
13. Tell us more about being a wedding coordinator at the Pines Resort?
My team laughs at me, but I cry at almost every wedding … either at the vows, first dance, or some other moment that takes me by surprise. I love the wedding days though! In fact, I remember something special about every wedding! For as much hard work goes into them, they then turn around and reward you ten times over. At the same time, I get to be a part of so many peoples ‘one happy day!’ Life could be WAY worse and I know how blessed I am because of that. I do have to brag about the 5 star reviews I have been able to build online and have been rewarded with the Couples Choice award for 2016 & now 2017 through Wedding Wire as well because of them. It makes my heart happy to be able to get these awards for the Resort!
14. What does our wedding coordinator do in her free time?
First of all, I have an amazing husband, Travis, who is my partner in crime! We have so much fun together traveling the globe, going to music concerts & festivals, Flea marketing shopping, looking at real estate together, or just playing with our adorable Basset Hound Buster. In addition, we recently bought a great home in the mountain area with over 5 acres that is our happy place, so lately that has been where our extra time & energy have been spent. I also have a great love for Fashion Photography, Volleyball, Snowboarding, Home Décor & design, and Pilates.
