FIVE QUESTIONS WITH ZEST IT UP
1) What do you love the most about what you do?
Love and families! We truly adore that we get to help celebrate families coming together and new families forming. Our passion is food and design, so we are honored when we get to flex our creative muscles and help a couple host a celebration that truly expresses themselves and all they want to communicate to their friends and family. It really thrills us when our knowledge from throwing a wedding every weekend helps a couple feel stress free as they leave details in our hands and get to enjoy being in the moment!
2) Briefly describe your philosophy or approach to each wedding.
Our philosophy is simple: the day is about love, family and friends. Our desire is to help a couple discover and execute the kind of day they most desire, and to help make every moment stress free. We want all our couples to look forward to their day with utter excitement. Weddings are a beautiful milestone and we want our clients to embrace each moment with joy and ease.
3) What inspires you?
Honestly…people. We love getting the chance to know our clients. Our favorite weddings are when we get to know our clients as individuals and as a couple. There is nothing like cooking and putting on a beautiful show for your friends!
4) What do you love about working at The Grace Maralyn Estate?
There are so many aspects that we love about The Grace Maralyn Estate. We have been in the wedding business for 3 years, and we have been recommending The Grace Maralyn Estate for an equivalent duration. We adore that our brides have the opportunity to create the type of celebration they desire. We increasingly recommend to our brides The Grace Maralyn Estate so that they can have the type of celebration that they will remember. All too often, a bride and groom barely have time to eat, let alone visit with all of their guests. As this is a time to soak in, we recommend turning the common 5-6 hour celebration into a weekend of being together in the moment. Why would you barely say “hello” to the most important people in your life when you could go wine tasting, hiking, whale watching, dining, and celebrating with them all weekend?
We also love how The Grace Maralyn Estate has everything dialed-in so lovely. Guests do not need to travel or walk distances between ceremony and reception. The setting is deeply romantic in the gardens and the barn dynamic creates such a fun dance party at the end of the night. It truly create a seamless evening!
5) Anything else you’d like potential clients to know about you!
We are a unique company here on the Central Coast. We offer diverse and comprehensive design/coordination packages as well as full service catering. We love working with the fabulous wedding professionals on the Central Coast and are more than happy to recommend vendors for all your needs. We look forward to meeting you and hearing your story!
