Ashley and Matt planned their destination wedding at the Hideaway Golf Club in La Quinta, California. This exclusive club and golf course is an oasis in the desert, replete with charming Spanish Colonial architecture and traditional tilework. The Hideaway played a special role in Ashley’s life and is home to many fond family memories. For her gown, the Bride selected a mermaid style strapless Vera Wang wedding dress with an abundance of flowing lace details, all crowned by a long-trained lace veil. The Groom sported a fashionable and classic black tuxedo from Suit Supply with custom monogramming on the inner lapel pocket.

COJ Events planned and designed Ashley and Matt’s big day, taking cues from the natural beauty of the Hideaway, and producing a classic and timeless affair using lush white florals accented by gold metallics. The ceremony site was set beautifully in front of one of the Hideaway’s many water features and perfectly framed by the Santa Rosa Mountains in the background. The Bride was escorted down the aisle by her two younger brothers, while the ceremony was officiated by a close friend of the couple. Ashley and Matt recited personalized vows in front of their guests before saying their I Do’s. Afterwards, they were whisked away for romantic sunset portraits.

Guests were welcomed to the cocktail hour by finding their customized name cards each with a miniature bottle of Casamigos Tequila, a favorite for Ashley and Matt! The cocktail hour took place on an elevated terrace overlooking the golf club with stunning views of the Coachella Valley. Guests made their way to the al fresco reception space, appointed with white floral arrangements, abundant pillar candles, and elegant gold-rimmed tableware. After a night of festivities, Ashley, Matt, and their guests danced the night away to some unforgettable performances by Ben Mallare Entertainment, an 11-piece live band.
