Bernardus Lodge Wedding

June 11, 2018

A veritable who’s who of Carmel came together for this fun, whimsical, classic summer wedding at Carmel Valley’s Bernardus Lodge.  The great Colette Cuccia & her awesome team designed, created & coordinated every detail from start to finish.  Colette is a true master designer-coordinator.  Her staff is 100% dedicated to making sure all aspects of the day come off without a hitch.  Additionally, they’re genuinely happy to help guests with anything and everything. It’s really a pleasure to work with a team that is so dedicated to making sure the day is a huge success.  And guess what – it was!
