Central Coast Wedding Professionals_logo 300Central Coast Wedding Professionals are granting an all-expenses paid wedding to a local couple in need. This is the first year of the Finally, I Do project designed to help a couple who would otherwise not have a wedding.

The community is encouraged to nominate themselves or other couples who face serious illness, life-altering circumstances, or have been in generously serving their community. Nominations have been extended, and are open until February 5.

The Finally, I Do committee will select finalists from the pool of nominations. Then the community will be asked to participate again by casting their vote for the couple they feel should be granted this fabulous wedding.

Voting will be open February 8–13 and the winning couple will be announced on Valentine’s Day.

“Wedding days are special,” said the project’s coordinator, Jazmyn Strickland of Love Always Weddings. “It’s the way to start the next chapter in someone’s life and we know that different reasons, specifically medical hardships or dedicating your time to others, can prevent people from being able to have that special day. So we’re using our skills and talent to give back.”

All wedding services are being donated by local wedding professionals. The completely free wedding will include everything a couple needs to celebrate in style. Higuera Ranch will serve as the perfect setting for the chosen couple to being the next chapter of their love story. Flower arrangements and décor by Lori Boe Floral Design coupled with linens and flatware from All About Events, will set the tone for an elegant and fun evening. The wedding party will arrive in a luxury stretch Jaguar limousine from Cal Limo. Guests will be dazzled from appetizers to dinner by the flavorful and eclectic cuisine of Gusto on the Go Bistro. And guests will enjoy finishing their meal with a gorgeously delectable cake from Cake Cathedral. The reception will be one to remember thanks to the DJ, lighting design, and photo booth provided by Kramer Events. Love Always Weddings will ensure the day is executed flawlessly while John Patrick Images captures the moments that truly make a wedding an unforgettable day.

Nominated couples must be residents of San Luis Obispo or Santa Barbara counties.
