Behind The Scenes - A Museum Wedding
One of my great pleasures over the many years of producing and designing events has been the comradery with our staff and event professionals in bringing our clients visions and dreams to life. In order to plan and produce a full event, or even to just bring a design to fruition, you need multiple creative and artistic individuals, staff and businesses coming together to make it happen. It is a team effort and fortunately we are able to orchestrate and bring together a fantastic team.
I thought it would be fun to show you some “making of” shots from an exciting wedding we created at The Natural History Museum of Los Angeles. Our fantastic Kari LaBomme impeccably planned this project and we co-designed the magical result. Jessica Sterling of Jessica Sterling Photography joined us behind the scenes to wonderfully bring our process to life. The wedding was in the Grand Foyer with the dueling dinosaurs. The reception was in the North American Mammal Hall.
Enjoy! And let us know if you have any questions.
Much love, Pat!

This is what our Bride had to say about this orchestrated effort:
“Working with Kari and Pat Frey Designs was the most therapeutic experience of the entire wedding. They held my hand every step of the way, had patience for all my indecisiveness, and kept me sane on top of it all. The final product was literally ripped from my imagination and executed flawlessly. It was all a beautiful dream! Thank you Kari and Pat!" - M.R.T.
