When Bianca and Sam were thinking about their wedding, they wanted to plan an event that was personal to them and felt fun, inclusive, and relaxing. Following a traditional ceremony at Stanford Memorial Church, the pair planned a reception at Hidden Villa filled with personal and meaningful performances honoring their Mexican and Filipino heritage. They served carnitas, tepache, and halo-halo and hired a mariachi band for dinner entertainment. Bianca performed with her college Polynesian dance group and Sam with his band, as well as a special song dedicated to Bianca’s late father. Even with a full guest list, their celebration felt romantic, meaningful, and intimate.
