Selena and Marco's spring wedding in Merced, CA mixed an intimate candlelit dinner under string lights with a multigenerational dance floor that ran all night.
Gracias, Selena and Marco, for a Merced wedding that felt like one big family from the first toast to the last song. A night like this runs on range, and we handled the whole evening that way so nobody, from Marco's grandparents to Selena's friends, ever felt on the outside of a moment.
The dinner stretch was the quiet heart of it. Long tables under a canopy of string lights, candles flickering low, deep warm florals running down the center in burgundy and rust. It was intimate and unhurried, kids tucked in among the grownups, everyone leaning into conversation in that golden half-light. Selena had entered to "Sway" by Michael Bublé, all elegance, and their first dance to "Sabor a Mí" had the older relatives holding their hearts.
The kind of room you almost don't want to break the spell on. But of course we did, and the floor barely closed after that. This is the part a Merced crowd lives for. We blended worlds the way this family loves it, banda and cumbia rolling into "Vivir Mi Vida," bridging into "Suavemente," then over to "September" and "Uptown Funk" for the younger crew, then back, three generations on the floor at the same time.
The dollar dance turned into a long, happy line, and the peak was a huge singalong to "El Rey," everyone belting it together with arms around shoulders. We closed soft and emotional with "Amor Eterno," the whole room swaying together for the last one, the kind of moment that gives you chills behind the booth. Selena and Marco, gracias de nuevo for an unforgettable Merced spring night.
