May 10, 2009 - They love each other, they love photography, they love good food and good wine. So when photographers Iggy Bilbao and Cris Sevilla had their civil wedding ceremony, their first and only choice for the location in which to exchange their vows was the exclusive and secluded Lemuria at The Winery. Located in Horseshoe Village, far from the hustle and bustle of the city, the gourmet fine dining restaurant fulfilled the couple's wish list. First, it was an intimate, lovely and definitely camera-worthy venue. Second, Lemuria's Chefs Rudolf and Golda May Ranada created original, intriguing and scrumptious French Mediterranean cuisine. And lastly, to top it all off, Lemuria not only had an extensive wine list, it also had its own wine cellar.
The cellar at The Winery with a holding capacity of more than 27,000 wines. Currently it houses mostly German, European and South American fine wines. Iggy and Cris had a wonderful time with Lemuria's gracious proprietress Kitt Shroeder weeks before, as they chose which wines to serve on their wedding day.
The Lavender Room of Lemuria. Both the main dining room and the Lavender Room of Lemuria can normally can seat around 20-30 people. But it was the couple's special request to arrange for a formal sit-down dinner for 40 people. The Lemuria staff most willingly obliged. The result was a cozy and fun-filled evening for the couple's family and friends.
