Inn of The Seventh Ray Wedding ~ Monica & Noah

Inn of The Seventh Ray is a cute little wedding venue tucked away in the canyon! This was my second time out at this venue for a wedding. And I love the vibes there with the small Buddhist elements and fountains on the grounds. But, Monica & Noah’s wedding here, was technically a vow renewal. The couple had already been married during COVID, however, restrictions prohibited them from celebrating with their friends and family. Once weddings & events began to open back up, they decided on a New Year’s Eve celebration, with a vow renewal ceremony and an all-night party for their family and friends.

The saying “loads of fun” does not even begin to describe this wedding! Monica and Noah went with an elegant vibe for their great big New Years eve wedding. Their theme was “Great Gatsby” and the attire was black tie. I always like to blend in with my couple’s guests so I wore a black suit for the night. The whole theme came together perfectly, making it an elegant and classy wedding.

Monica & Noah also threw in some classic New Years eve party elements like tiaras, paper hats, and of course, horns! When they were ready to party, Monica changed from her wedding dress into a gold-fringed cocktail gown for her and Noah’s first dance. You’ll get to see some moments of their amazing first dance, in the photos below! As the celebration continued, there was a traditional Hora dance, lots of champagne glasses raised in the air, and of course a midnight kiss between the Mr & Mrs.! Scroll through the blog below to see every moment of Monica & Noahs Inn of The Seventh Ray Wedding.
