Casa Monica Reception

This room in the Casa Monica takes you to another place in time! It's an enchanting ballroom which can be transformed into an Arabian Nights Wedding.

Gold curly willow was the center of attention at the place card table. Hanging votives, crystal strands and large crystal diamonds hung from the branches.

The ballroom was uplit with amber lighting and the chandeliers complimented the amber hue that lit the room.


















Unforgettable Events has the perfect linens that match the decor of this ballroom. Gold overlays that are encrusted with gold beading are gorgeous, matching the swirl on the cushioned chairs.

The centerpieces have matching crystal beads hanging from the top of the vase. Deep red roses and red orchids with the contrast of the white hydrangea and white anemonies fill the room with red hanging amaranthus to finish the look.

The beautiful paintings fill not only the ballroom but the cocktail area as well. The wall sconces are beaded in gold and red to add the finishing touch to the room and its marvelous decor.

The Casa Monica, a great place for a destination wedding.

Casa Monica Poolside Ceremony

St. Augustine is one of our favorite destinations. There are so many venues and lots of things to do to keep the guests happy during their stay. The Casa Monica provides a romantic Old World charm.

What a gorgeous day it was for a poolside wedding. As they drove into the Casa Monica entry in the limo and ascended the stairway to the pool deck they couldn't believe their eyes as they saw in awe the transformation. Hotel guests watched as the decor went up from their rooms in the morning and later made a point to come back to witness the ceremony.


Karen Erwin of St. Augustine Weddings and Special Events managed every detail so the couple could focus on their guests and the pleasures of the evening. She and her team kept the sequence of events flowing smoothly.

We are still waiting for the photographers images from the reception...check back soon.

St. Augustine, FL at The Llambias House, St. Augustine, FL

Unforgettable Events at the Llambias House & Gardens, St. Augustine, Florida. Vows were exchanged amid the antique surroundings of the historic house and garden.

The florals were designed to enhance the classic setting. Guests entered through tents that led to the ceremonial site. The ceremony took place in front of the wishing well.

Flowers and rose petals created wonderful scents and sights. As the sun set the candles glistened around the wishing well.

The personal flowers were as colorful as the couple and their attendants.

St. Augustine, FL at The Fountain of Youth

Step into the past and have a drink from the Fountain of Youth. What a way to start a lifetime together and share a glass with all of your guests. This was truly a night to remember.

The brides's choice of exotic tropical flowers gave Dan's vision life.

The attendant bouquet was perfectly color coordinated with her gown.
Orchids adorned the heads of three very special friends of the bride.
Church decor tied the look together with the expectation of what was to come at the reception.

Unforgettable Events does spectacular clear tented parties that are talked about again and again. The clear tent let us see the beautiful birds and foliage as the sun set.

Dan's signature linens added the finish to the gorgeous centerpieces.

Chandeliers of tropical flowers surrounded by candle light hung from the top of the tent.

Dainty decor for cocktails of fine wines. At dusk the stars came out and all the flowers, surrounded by sparkling lights, showed their beauty. The mood transformed and the celebration went on for hours.
