Ashley & Richard – Celebrating Beach Style!

July 22, 2017

Ashley & Richard – Celebr … | Harborside Banquets

After Ashley’s Aunt Sheryl was married at the Harborside just a little over a year ago, she decided to follow the new family tradition and tie the knot here as well. We are so glad they did, cause it gave us another chance to work with this wonderful family. Ashley & Richard are such a fun couple, they wanted everything “beach casual” so Harborside’s chef’s put out a BBQ menu that everyone said was, “the best wedding food ever!” We agree.

Thanks to all of their wonderful vendors:

An E-Harmony Romance, Chris & Laura

CAKE: Nothing Bundt Cakes

COORDINATION: Lauren Pittman @ Prince Events

DJ: Andy Mason

Chris & Laura’s one-of-a-kind story about Harborside’s E-Harmony Bride & Groom, as told by Jeannie Assismos, VP Content E-Harmony:

“When actress Laura Carlson auditioned for a role in an eHarmony commercial, she had absolutely no idea how much this opportunity would change her life.
As she sat on the set with eHarmony CEO and founder Dr. Neil Clark Warren, the two talked about life — including her lack of a love life. The fellow Iowan natives really bonded, and Dr. Warren urged her to give eHarmony a trial run.

A year and a half later, Dr. Warren received an email from Laura:
As you know last year, after we shot our commercial, you were so gracious to give me a free membership to your site. Even though I was skeptical I thought, ‘Ah what the heck, I’ll give it a shot, and I’m not out any money! You even prophesized that day that I would meet my husband on your site! Well, I just wanted to let you know that after almost a year and a half of dating a wonderful gentleman, Chris, who I met on eHarmony, he proposed to me on Oct 6th.
Dr. Warren and I had lunch with the happy couple last week, who are obviously very grateful, very compatible, and very in love.”

Kelsey & Ryan September 2014

November 20, 2014

Kelsey and Ryan met on a Saturday night at the local bowling alley, where Kelsey was a Cocktail Server. Ryan had come to the bowling alley with a girl, so Kelsey naturally thought it was his girlfriend and thought nothing more about it, except that he was such a hunk!

Ryan came into the bowling alley a couple weeks later with the same girl and wouldn’t you know it Kelsey was their cocktail server again. After ordering, he continued to tell Kelsey about a bet he made with HIS SISTER about who would bowl the best game, and the loser would have to vacuum the other persons home. She was extremely excited to find out that it wasn’t his girlfriend after all!

The next weekend Ryan arrived with just a group of friends. With a little liquid courage Ryan asked Kelsey for her phone number. Kelsey quickly wrote it down on a piece of paper and handed it over.

Ryan finally called a week later and left her a very memorable voicemail. She called back and they continued to chat all weekend and ended with Ryan asking her on a date.

Almost a year and half into their relationship Ryan had a new job offer in Atlanta, GA. He would only accept if Kelsey moved with him. Kelsey accepted. After living in Atlanta for a few short months; Ryan proposed in Tybee Island, GA on top of the Lighthouse.

They were engaged for a little over a year while they planned their wedding across the country in Newport Beach CA. Ryan and Kelsey married at Crystal Cove and had their reception at Harborside Grand Ballroom in the Balboa Pavilion on September 6, 2014.

Steve & Amy, May 2014

May 27, 2014

Steve and Amy met in 2010 when they were both living in Las Vegas. Both came from small towns and big families and there was an immediate attraction. When Steve ended up moving back to California for work, this meant a long-distance relationship for 3 years! Amy and Steve had talked about marriage, but as a teacher, Amy’s timeline was limited since she had to commit to an entire school year once school was back in session.

On her last day of school in 2013, Steve showed up at her apartment at midnight, after driving to her apartment straight from work in California. He proposed in the doorway and she immediately said, “yes!” They decided to get married in Newport Beach and found the Harborside Ballroom to be a perfect waterfront venue for them. We are glad they did. Steve and Amy are truly a special couple and we wish them the best of everything!
