Cody has always loved Beauty and the Beast so we decided to incorporate the Beauty and the Beast Theme into his and Jonathan’s wedding. We were lucky enough to find the Nixon Library in Yorba Linda that looks opulent and fits perfectly as the ballroom for our theme. We bought characters from the movie and put hints of them around the room with just enough to show the theme, but not too much to make it cheesy. We wanted guests to feel like they stepped into the palace in the movie after the curse was lifted and the building beautified. Stunning and whimsical, but full of life and energy. —from the event planner, Blue Moon Event Planning
