When Tamim Yusef asked “so what other venues have you looked at?” Arun and I just looked at each other and laughed, we replied “none, this is the first place we have seen.” Tamim was a little surprised, he recommended that we look around. We didn’t. We knew, that this was the place we wanted to have our wedding, this was the place we wanted in our photos, in our memories, this was the place all our family and friends from around the world would gather to celebrate our marriage.
What we loved about this facility from the beginning was the fact that you have the entire beautiful designed and decorated place to yourself on your big day. As we got more information we knew we had found a place that suited our needs. Arun and I were looking to have a wedding that mixed and balanced our Indian roots with our Western upbringings. Tamim understood exactly what we wanted. He took care of the décor, he already had contracts with caterers or an in-house chef, a florist, anything you needed he pretty much had. Trust me, you don’t want to juggle 5 different contracts with 5 different vendors. Pacific Hills facilitates your planning so you can enjoy your big day. They were flexible enough to let us have a very special custom cake made by another bakery, but this was made even sweeter by the surrounding delicious pastries and sweets made by Pacific Hills at our desert station. They were also thrilled to let us incorporate an Elephant for Arun’s baraat!! (An Indian custom that welcomes the groom to the hall in a parade with music and dancing.)

Working with Tamim was a blast! Since Arun and I lived in NY, it was so nice that Tamim was willing to talk to us over the phone/email and we could get a lot done without having to be there. Then when we did meet, he had a full table display ready for us. We had a specific color scheme and vision that Tamim worked really hard to put together. He was ready to incorporate all our ideas, work with my sketches and bring our visions into a reality. I literally came to him with a detailed sketch of the stage area and by the end of it that piece of paper had so many notes it looked like a complicated secret project! But when I saw my sketch turned into reality, I was beyond impressed. Tamim knew exactly what I wanted, worked with me to come to mutual agreements and took charge of some final decision because I trusted him enough at that point to make everything look spectacular.

Although there was a lot of planning, Tamim outdid himself on the day of. The results were beyond our expectations! That room looked gorgeous!! Tamim put it best when he said, “you guys have a million dollar wedding without spending a million dollars.” Thanks to the staff at Pacific Hills we really did have an amazing wedding. Arun and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND working with David and Tamim Yusef. They are attentive, creative, organized and a pleasure to work with. We could not have done better in choosing a place that truly catered to a vision we had of our big day. And now that vision has been made a reality! Our sincere thanks to Tamim and everyone at Pacific Hill.
