🤩We were excited to greet Ellery & Ernesto today for their menu tasting experience! What a lovely couple! They booked for their wedding day in San Luis Obispo this November!

👌🏼They originally met at work, at a clinic for pediatric occupational therapy, named Kids Connections.

❤️Ernesto decided to relocate to San Luis Obispo from Los Angeles. They love living by the ocean; which is where Ernesto proposed on the water while they were whale watching! Ellery is from Chicago and Ernesto from Mexico but grew up in LA. Ernesto loves cooking Mexican food and Ellery likes to sample it!

💯We are thrilled to support Ellery & Ernesto on their special day!
