Bayley and Mikahl got married at the stunning Crestmore Manor under the Californian sun. They had an intimate ceremony among colorful decor they described as “classy picnic with rustic charm.” And we are definitely charmed!

Rebecca and Zach love their books and especially Harry Potter. They featured a few of their favorite works of literature in their ceremony and the reception took everything up to eleven. The reception was turned into a Harry Potter wonderland from a sorting hat seating chart, Daily Prophet programs, magic wands, Sorting Hat Ravenclaw cake(!), and a totally themed “Anything from the trolley, dears” sweets table, the handmade details were spectacular. Even their music from the soundtracks was magical.

Time to get our Hogwarts on…
