Introducing Oceano Hotel & Spa

I've recently heard so much about Oceano that when I ran into their booth at the Hillsdale Bridal & Expo Faire, I had to introduce myself and learn more about this most-talked about, newest wedding venue in Half Moon Bay! After chatting up a bit, the wedding and event planner graciously invited me to their wedding event the following Sunday to view their venue first-hand.
The "Wedding Event/Fashion Show" was for brides, grooms and families to enjoy a fun and informative day at Oceano while viewing their different event spaces. The ballroom was filled with event professionals displaying their services and a selective panel of vendors spoke about "Unlock(ing) the Secrets to a Successful Wedding" in the Atrium. The room that I fell in love with is The Galleria, (above left), whose original intent was not for weddings, but a street that lined the hotel's boutique shops. But after one bride's request to have a wedding in this indoor (but with an outdoor feel because of the skylight roof), the rest is history!

Some vendors I met are:
Studio Cake - love her business philosophy as well as her complete packaging, from the dainty boxes that held her sample cakes to her logo and website. The cake pictures on her website are as divine as they are in person! You have to check it out at: http://www.studiocake.com/. Here are some of my favorites (below):

That Takes the Cake - love her friendly personality and enthusiasm, plus she's on Union Street Wedding Ring! Located in a high-end location, her cupcakes are surprisingly quite affordable! Cutest red velvets (below):

Cakework - wealth of experience, continued innovation, inspired from just about anything! She is the inventor of those famous and flawless stripes you see on cakes. When asked, she wouldn't reveal her secret! =P Hates fondant and uses only white chocolate. The most renowned stripes (below):
