One thing was very clear about Janine and Matt’s wedding planning; it was going to be a team effort. Matt was by Janine’s side for every appointment and every phone call. In a way, this made their big day even more special, knowing that they had done it together.
They wanted their wedding to be just like an enchanted forest, using the beautiful scenery at Meditation Mount to help set the mood. The idea for the theme came from the love the couple shared for family. They put time into wonderful details for their guests, like the personalized letters Janine and Matt wrote to each person at their wedding, expressing their love. Janine’s mother also made a katubah with a tree on it, to represent strong family roots. Members of the wedding party signed the katubah and, as they walked into the ceremony, each guest blessed the wedding rings on a wooden heart. The personalized details made the experience inclusive for Janine and Matt’s family and friends, and proved how important every person there was to the celebration of their life together.
The ceremony was very traditional and afterwards guests were able to experience the amazing food and wine and Ojai Valley and Spa. It truly was a night to remember.
