Sara Martinez and Noah Goldsmith met in 2018 at a birthday party, where they bonded over their shared passion for food. Six months later, they reconnected on Tinder, and their relationship flourished, culminating in Noah’s proposal in a picturesque setting during a weekend retreat in Temecula. Their intimate wedding, attended by 100 of their closest friends and family members, harmoniously blended Sara’s Mexican heritage and Noah’s Jewish roots. The couple’s vision of an elegant garden party was brought to fruition in an event that showcased vibrant blooms and verdant accents. Beneath a colorful chuppah, the couple exchanged vows in a ceremony that seamlessly blended English, Latino and Hebrew elements. As the ceremony concluded, a mariachi band accompanied guests in joyous celebration of the newlyweds. Embracing the pair’s love for Bravo’s “Below Deck” reality TV series, they paid homage to the show’s popular drink during cocktail hour, offering the “Espresso My Love Martini” as one of their signature cocktails. Their beloved dog, Luna, though absent, was honored through details such as cocktail signage, napkins, photo booth props and the cake topper. The fiesta theme carried into dinner with an alfresco reception that featured a mix of long and round tables adorned with vibrant florals and a custom papel picado inscribed with “Sara & Noah” and “Amor.” The mariachi band pulled guests onto the dance floor, infusing the event with energy during a lively hora. In a delightful surprise, a saxophone player teamed up with the DJ, paying homage to Sara’s musical background.
