“The Beskeen family made a disbelieving bride's dreams come true.

My husband and I hadn't wanted the big wedding. We were thinking of eloping but I went to the bridal fair anyway with my Mom to get ideas and look around. My first encounter was walking up to The Sidecar Mobile Bar outside the venue because my eyes were immediately drawn to the beautiful handcrafted wooden counter. Inside the bar it was beautifully designed- simple, modern, elegant. I even joked with David and part of their family saying I wanted them to decorate my home. I remember speaking with Dee and David and receiving their pamphlet and information on the mobile bar and although (at the time) I didn't have a need for their services, I kept their pamphlet with future ideas in mind of how I could utilize their services for work events, etc.

My mom and I went into the bridal fair and as we were looking around I talked to many vendors and explained pleasantries until we came across some pictures and decor and again my attention was captivated. The gorgeous, handcrafted wood tables, the beautiful lanterns and greenery, but above all, the pictures that displayed the decor. I kept seeing these incredible, huge cedar trees with a wedding dress hanging in between or opening up to a beautiful wedding with eucalyptus and hints of gold and wooden lanterns. I spoke with Jenni and asked her, "where are these pictures taken? I have searched everywhere for a venue exactly like this one and I can't find it anywhere." Jenni then directed me to her mom, Karen and told me that it was her parent's house in Forest Ranch but that I might be able to have mine there as well.

While trying to win over Karen, we talked about possibly having the wedding (I never planned on having and now absolutely needed) and she was going over options and what everything would possibly entail. It was at this time I put the pieces together and realized that the Sidecar Mobile Bar outside was Karen's husband and daughter in law and would be part of the package. Oh my gosh! We discussed meeting at their house so I could see it in person and hash out details and come up with a contract if we should all agree to move forward from there.

The entire time I planned my wedding and coordinated with the Beskeen family it was nothing short of a breeze and an absolute pleasure to work with them. Karen and David make wedding planning look easy and are there to help every step of the way. Included in using their beautiful landscape and home for three days!, I was able to use their Premier Event Rentals gorgeous decor, to their Sidecar Mobile Bar and bartending services. I also chose to utilize Karen as my wedding coordinator and I can't emphasize enough how much it was worth every penny. Karen is a rare gem and phenomenal person. She is professional, kind, considerate, extremely organized, patient, and exquisitely gifted in her creative talents. Karen typed up an incredibly detailed questionnaire and a timeline and met up with my mom and I later to review so that she and her team knew exactly my intentions and ideas and to also get me thinking of things that hadn't yet crossed my mind so that all areas of our wedding day were covered. Karen also became the point of contact for each of my vendors so that I didn't have to coordinate with everyone. I also elected to have Karen make customized signs for us and they were Pinterest board worthy.

Our wedding was a dream. I know that expression is used a lot but it was. To walk through the quiet, enormous, cedar trees on a beautifully designated gravel path with soft string lights above to my best friend and man I'm choosing forever with is a moment I will remember forever. Sitting at our head table and looking out at the ones we hold dearest to us, seeing everyone laugh and enjoy one another, going up to the bar with its soft lighting and joking around with the bartenders and dancing under the gazebo and stars will forever be cemented in my mind.

The entire Beskeen family made our day seem effortless, flawless, and magnificent and I can't thank them enough”
