Richards / Goldrich Wedding

On Saturday Feb 16, 2008, Alexa and Jeff tied the knot! All festivitites took place at the historic Douglas Entrance in Coral Gables, Florida. Alexa looked even more beautiful than what she already is and Jeff looked very handsome and extremely happy at all times! The ceremony was performed by the magnificent Michael Calderin in the downstairs area in front of the fountain.
The cocktail also took place outside and the guests were surprised by Mariachis. Once it was time to enter the dining room, the guests were escorted up the grand staircase. Their reaction was extremely rewarding! They were awed to see the room look so spectacular! Ubi Marrero provided the lighting (both inside and outside) and he did a magnficent job! The dining room was glowing with amber lighting. The centerpieces looked amazing thanks to Jorge Nevot and the tables looked spectacular thanks to AB Cover Designers and Alexa's gold chargers, personally handmade menus and table numbers!

Once the guests were seated, they were presented with a beautiful display of mixed greens. Following the salad, came the main entree. Mena catering did a fabulous job in getting the food out on time and most importantly... hot! Both sets of parents made a beautiful toast to the bride and groom and along with Jeff and Alexa, made sure to thank all of the guests that traveled to join them on that specal night. The father /daughter dance was very touching as was the mother / son dance was. Aside from the beautiful and yummy Ana Paz cake, there was a special chocolate table. These fine chocolates came from South America (Alexa's mom is from South America) and were displayed in beautiful silver trays. Needless to say they did not last long on the beautifully arranged table! After all the food was over and done with the real party began. DJ Ubi did a FABULOUS job with the music selection and best of all, Alexa hired a percussionist to join Ubi. He also did a fabulous job. They both did a magnificent job in keeing the dance floor alive until 1:00am.

Overall, this evening turned out beautiful and I am sure it will live in both Alexa and Jeff's memories as well as each and every one of their guests for a very long time.

I thank Alexa for allowing me to work with her on such a special day in her life!
