Matt & Jessica are a very sweet couple from Arizona who had their San Diego destination wedding in our beautiful city. Their very laid back attitude showed at their wedding ceremony on North Beach in Coronado. Their guests dined in a small and intimate reception with an amazing ocean view. Their wedding had a very cool San Diego feel as beach goers walked along the boardwalk.

The BEST money my husband and I spent on our wedding was on a
wedding planner. Worth every single penny!
InStyle Event Planning
At our first meeting with InStyle Event Planning I knew we had to hire them. It was essential that we hired someone to help plan and make recommendations since we lived in Orange County and our wedding was in San Diego. InStyle was so personal and so genuine but always maintained that professional balance. They asked questions about us and wanted to get a good feel for what we were looking for. I loved their energy and how passionate they were about our wedding. I cannot stress enough how much better off we were in the long run because we hired InStyle for full coordination for the entire year before our wedding and it ended up saving us so much money!!
Shellie Ferrer was our wedding planner and I cannot say enough wonderful things about her. She was efficient, organized, helpful, kind, detail-oriented, has impeccable taste, and she was not phased but the incessant questions I asked! Shellie handled the details and helped keep everything on track. In particular she helped us save so much money on my wedding dress, transportation, our photo booth, photographer, room blocks, flowers, DJ, Band, linens, etc…..you name it and she negotiated it no matter what and made it work! The money she was able to save us was more than worth her personal fee.
When I arrived in San Diego for our wedding weekend Shellie had everything organized and was available to handle all the last minute details. I was able to let go of the wedding-related stress and enjoy my weekend with my family and friends. Everyone commented and how seamless the ceremony and reception were and how everything just flowed. Well, that was all thanks to Shellie and the InStyle staff. It was such a joy working with Shellie. She truly cares about her brides and makes you feel like you are planning your wedding with your best friend.
InStyle Event Planning leaves no detail overlooked and are so wonderful to work with. They worked with my husband and I to achieve our vision and helped us stay within our budget. My wedding was amazing!!
If you are looking to get married anywhere give In Style Event Planning a call.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them!

Where do I begin??? Patti's Review Of Shellie Ferrer – InStyle Event Planning Services San Diego
Where do I begin???……. I had absolutely NO plans to hire a wedding coordinator. What was I thinking?? From the very first phone call with Shellie, she had me hooked!! I could not have pulled off the most beautiful and amazing wedding for my only daughter without her.
Shellie returned every email and phone call within a reasonable time. Shellie helped me tremendously with major aspects of the wedding, she definitely has an eye to detail and her EXCELLENT and strong interpersonal skills made the day of my daughter's wedding, a day for me to just sit back and enjoy.
Shellie and her assistant Lacy oversaw EVERY detail and ensured that everything went smoothly and it most certainly did! Shellie even made sure that my grandson had milk at the wedding! Who does that….?! Shellie and Lacy are an excellent team and were such a pleasure to have at the wedding, while I was totally enjoying my daughter's wedding, they quietly worked behind the scenes and help me give my daughter, her perfect wedding!
Shellie and Lacy was the best investment I made out of the entire wedding. Worth every penny!!!!!
Thank you both so much!!! ~Patti F 6/8/12

InStyle Event Planning
May 14 2012
We just came off of the high from our incredible wedding week that would have been nothing without all of the help and guidance and detailed planning and hard work that Shellie of InStyle Event Planning put into it.
I worked with her for about a year and half and she not only put up with all my crazy ideas but made them into reality even better than the dream created in my own mind! She was always available and ready to jump in to help at any moment even when I would send her emails at 3:00 in the morning the weeks leading to the wedding.
She kept us on track and made sure we knew what we needed to take care of and when to get it done by. She offered great ideas and innovative ways of doing things.
I would have to say the greatest thing that we received from Shellie that you won't get anywhere else is how much money she saved us. She provided us with our charger plates, linens, vases, baskets, card boxes, emergency kit, frames, decorations for the ceremony and much more. The vendors she recommended always offered better rates and had better services then anything I found on my own. She actually paid for herself before we even hired her! We had gotten a couple quotes on our venue and she called about a half an hour after we inquired about her services and had already talked to the Hard Rock and got our venue quote down by almost the same amount as her fee, and even that was so incredibly reasonable. I would have paid tenfold for the peace of mind she gave us.
She was there to calm me down when I had my little freak out moments and there were issues that were caused by other vendors that happened at the wedding that we didn't even know about because she took it upon herself to make executive decisions and everything went off without a hitch.
We have never been more impressed with services like this in our lives at any event. I am actually in the entertainment business and work with event planners all the time, Shellie rocked our wedding day and all the months that preceded it. Not only did we realize all of the hard work her company put into our special day but we got compliments from many of our guests that noticed how amazing and on the ball she was.
Thank you Shellie.
I will recommend you to everyone I know, you went above and beyond in every aspect!
Happily Wedded

Review by Blake & Amy of InStyle Event Planning San Diego Shellie Ferrer
"The Best Wedding Ever!" – Amy C
"The Best Wedding Ever!!!!!" – This is the statement that I happily continue to hear from many friends and family members about our 125 person wedding in early December. This statement would not be possible without the wand-waving, magic workers at InStyle Event Planning!
Less than 2 months before our wedding, I realized that I was up a creek without a paddle and that I would need someone who has experience in planning weddings to carry me over the finish line. In a panic, I searched the internet and stumbled across InStyle and decided to give them a call. Within a few hours, Shellie was on the phone with me: listening to the obvious panic in my voice, calmly providing suggestions and continuing to tell me, "Don't worry about it, we will make everything beautiful." Whew! That was a load off my back when I heard Shellie utter that statement alone!! In addition to carrying my wedding over the finish line, Shellie also played part therapist on the other end of the phone – listening to me drone on about all the crazy drama that always unfolds when planning a wedding, taking my calls at odds hours, even talking to me when she went on vacation for her anniversary! Aside from her wonderful "bedside manner", Shellie also has the most infectious laugh – when she laughed, it made me laugh and the rapport that we developed so quickly made me relax about the wedding planning for the first time in 10 months! (word of advice: don't wait this long to call InStyle! Do it right away, after you get engaged!)
After our initial consultation on the phone, Shellie accepted the challenge of handling our wedding day-of activities. Some, but not all, of these tasks included coordinating ALL the vendors for the day-of, coordinating ALL bridesmaids and groomsmen (we had 20 people in wedding party!), handling ALL reception room decorations and executing an enormous lighting project that was involved in our outdoor, pergola covered ceremony space. My vision for the entire ceremony and reception completely came to life through Shellie's skill and perseverance. She went above and beyond the call of duty by "laying down the law" when I had an issue with any vendor. Bottom line, she was the perfect coach for my wedding day and she executed all the right plays at the right time!
I know I could not have had a better wedding and I will be forever thankful that InStyle gave me my dream day!!!

The Supreme Court today sought a response from Maharashtra government and Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) on the plea of Campa Cola Housing Society residents seeking another chance to save their illegal flats which they were asked to vacate.
A bench, comprising Justices S J Mukhopadhaya and S A Bobde issued the notice to the state government and the civic body on the plea of residents who wanted to have negotiations with them to resolve the matter.
During the vacation, the apex court had refused to give any relief to the flat owners in Mumbai's Campa Cola Housing Society against the earlier order asking them to vacate their premises by May 31. The apex court had also rejected the submission that at least the illegal flats be not demolished till the time it decides the curative petition of the residents association in the case. The court had on November 19 last year asked the flats owners at the Society to vacate their houses by May 31 as no specific proposal could be worked out to provide them space in the compound for construction of a new building.
On February 27 last year, it had ordered the municipal body to demolish the illegal flats.
Later, on October 1, it refused to re-consider the earlier order and set November 11 last year as the deadline to vacate 102 illegal flats. However, as the November 11 deadline approached, the residents protested the eviction. The court then took note of the media reports and extended the time till May 31 for vacating the premises.
Seven high-rise buildings of Campa Cola Housing Society were constructed between 1981 and 1989. The builders had permission for only six floors. One of the compound buildings, Midtown, has 20 floors and another building, Orchid, has 17 floors.

Remember the sub-launched robotic plane we talked about before? Well, here's some more information on it, courtesy of Popular Science. The plane will be released from a Trident missile tube on an Ohio-class U.S. submarine, surface, then take off.
The plane, dubbed the "Cormorant" will have a 500 mile range. Once the Cormorant's mission is finished, it will then return to the designated return point, and be retrieved by a unmanned vehicle, which will return the Cormorant to the sub. The reason for this is to help keep the location of the submarine secret.
The plane is made out of titanium for strength and filled will foam to help it survive the pressure from being released150ft under the water. It will be equipped with weapon systems or used for surveillance. DARPA will be conducting tests on the Cormorant until September, when it will decide whether or not to continue the project.

Beginning this week, The Treemont at 231 South 15th Street started serving lunch. The menu is available Monday through Friday from 11 am to 2 pm.
It includes soups, salads and sandwiches, along with a few entrees.
This weekend, Craig LaBan reviewed Chip Roman's The Treemont and wonders where all the diners are. Scared off by an unusual deadspot in Center City or dissuaded from the Cheesecake Factory construction site down the block? But for those who have made it in the doors, there are rewards.
If Roman has the financial fortitude to endure the leaner months, the Treemont has the ingredients to become, with refining (and maybe some noise-proofing), a reliable, fine-dining hideaway with quality entrees, fairly priced in the mid-$20s.

Treemont mystery: Good food, few eaters [Philadelphia Inquirer]
The Treemont [Foobooz]
The Treemont at 15th and Locust is adding brunch beginning this Sunday. Chip Roman's Center City restaurant will be serving dishes like cured salmon rillette, French toast gratin, short rib with grits and fried egg, as well as the pictured burger with smoked onion jam. Brunch is served Sundays from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. All plates come in under $20 and a cocktail list of a.m. friendly drinks like the "Twisted Lip," vodka, orange curacao, lemon,
house-grenadine and sparkling wine comes in at $14 or less.
The title may be misleading—last night's event wasn't all about booze. It was, as always, an impressive showdown between two extremely talented chefs. They came prepared, for sure; they came excited, no doubt; they cooked us a phenomenal meal. But while they were doing their thing behind the line, the alcohol was working its magic on the guests–mostly in the form of wine, tequila and an icy bottle of Grey Goose which (mysteriously…) didn't last the night.
In the end and to say the least, we had a great time at Open Stove XXVII. But behind the line, one team had a better time than the other, so let's recap and see how it all went down.
On Monday, August 11th, Zarwin Baum DeVito Kaplan Schaer Toddy, P.C., and The Honigman Group joined Jamila Ryans, executive director of the DeMeco Ryans Foundation, and chef Chip Roman in hosting "Fashion Kicks," benefiting the S. Weir Mitchell School in Southwest Philadelphia.

Philadelphia has so many great new restaurants that it's hard to keep track of what to eat where. Here's a cheat sheet of some of the best plates in the city to try right now.
If a tree falls in a forest with no one to hear it, is there a sound? That may be the question for the Treemont. Or, rather: If nettle and ricotta gnudi this exquisite hits a table on 15th Street, will people put down their pint glasses and chicken wings long enough to take heed? Hemmed in between pub central, a bike-messenger dive and the downtown Applebee's, Chip Roman's Center City debut sits on a corridor of middling expectations. And no sooner did it open than a demolition began clearing space for a giant Cheesecake Factory a block to the north—stanching the flow of pedestrians past the Treemont's understated awning.

Chip Roman's the Treemont is kicking off its happy hour program. Running from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., Sunday through Friday, the downstairs bar is offering drink and snack specials as well as complimentary "La Boite" Spiced Popcorn.
The Treemont [Foobooz]
Chip Roman's first Center City restaurant, The Treemont, opened very quietly in the old Tietra's location at 231 South 15th Street. And for a man with the successful mini-empire that he has, it should've been a much bigger deal. He brought in chef Rob Sidor (the guy behind the Inspiracle dinners and who, most recently, worked alongside Chris Kearse at Will), he rearranged the room (moved the entire staircase to the other side of the restaurant, as a matter of fact), prettied the whole place up–and now he's bringing real quality to the restaurant black hole that is 15th Street.
Last week, I had the chance to check out the spot, as well as talk with Sidor about his food.
And yeah, I got to eat it, too.
