We’ve got a location!
The LA River Center and Gardens is just north of Downtown. It’s got great mid- century LA, Spanish-style charm, and it’s got some history with the Chaplin family.
I remember going there almost every week as a kid, when the Center was a Lawry’s mexican restaurant. My parents enjoyed their crappy margaritas (they said they didn’t know better at the time) and I enjoyed the mariachi band.
When I was two, I used to walk around singing, “ay, ay, ay, ay,” and no one could figure out why. Next time we heard the mariachis, I started singing along. I am proud that my first song was “ay, ay, ay, ay, canta y no llores” because of the amount of time my parents spent drinking margaritas.
The ceremony will take place in a beautiful, but simple courtyard. And the reception will be in the main courtyard pictured to your right. It has a HUGE dance floor, so prepare to get your groove on.
Julia and I are really looking forward to welcoming everyone to our wedding and celebration there.
