Sami and Andrew hosted their wedding weekend at the Ojai Valley Inn and Spa. The weekend began with an intimate family dinner in the herb garden under a flowering pergola. Speeches from a few of their favorite friends brought roars of laughter and tears of joy. A perfect way to kick off the festivities.  

The Wedding Day opened with clear skies and loads of sunshine. Sami stunned in her Dana Harel Wedding Gown. After perfecting their looks, Sami and Andrew opted for a private moment to see each other for the first time, before their ceremony. They spent time relishing the moment of their day and enjoying the surroundings and ambiance of the Ojai lavender. Soon family and finds gathered to celebrate and under the ancient and iconic Ojai Oak tree they said their vows. Sealed with a kiss, Sami and Andrew led their guest to cocktail hour in the heart of the Farmhouse where they mingled into the overflowing chef’s garden. Soon the party was underway and continued well into the night. Sami and Andrew walked under the rare blue moon as their friends began to enter into the after party. DJ Keybo was relentless and kept the party going until the only people left were the bride and groom.
