Hi everyone! I’ve met some of you, but many of you I haven’t! I wish I could go on here and introduce myself and say, “I’ve been in the industry for 5+ years!!!!! I am an expert at all things weddings and events!” But in all honesty I’m a newbie. Fresh meat. (My BS is in healthcare management and I went for my MBA in healthcare systems that’s how “inexperienced” I am…) I often get asked what made me decide to build a venue … and MANY reasons come to mind… There really isn’t just one reason why. In the most simple way I can say it, I followed a dream. My dream. A dream that I worked so hard for (still am!) It has brought me so much happiness and fulfillment to design The Margaux. A year ago, it was all just dirt! I have so many more ideas in my head that I can’t wait to bring to life… (maybe)…
Anyway, I’m just popping on your feeds to say HI! I’m Lara 🙋🏽♀️, this is my little family. My whole world.
My sincerest hope for The Margaux is to fill the walls with laughter, happy tears and priceless memories from all of the special memories that happen here…as I said early on in this post, I’m not the most experienced, but I promise to work my butt off for every single one of my clients.
Swipe to see a couple of pics from the very beginning! Who knew a little girl from the Philippines could ever do anything like this… my nine year old self would never. 🤍
@abbottphotoandfilm with the pics!!!!
Beautiful is common.
Intentional is rare.
At The Margaux, we don’t just offer a venue — we offer efficiency, flow, and an experience built around you. Every corner of space was strategically designed to maximize your time and create seamless event execution.
Because your investment deserves more than pretty.
Many of you know that The Margaux is named for my deep admiration of my mom! My mom has always worn pearls. And margaux means white pearl in French! For me, when I see a pearl, I think of my mom. A woman of strength, grit, sacrifice and love. Qualities that she taught and gave to me unknowingly. My mom came to the US from the Philippines as a nurse and worked to bring me here! A long and all consuming, costly process. After being separated for 7 years, (she left when I was 2) she finally was able to bring me permanently when I was 9 years old. My upbringing wasn’t conventional nor was it easy - but one thing my mom constantly told me was that she had my back no matter what. She taught me to keep the humor in everything because laughter is a language we all speak. But the most important thing that she taught me was that our circumstances should never be a handicap - but rather an inspiration to continue to do better. She’s inspired me in more ways than I can ever put into words. And when all is said and done, I hope I’m also inspiring my babies.
So here’s to all the mommas ❤️ I hope you all had a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend! I am so grateful to be in an industry that celebrates and empowers mamas.
Food for Thought: Would you rather have 100-150 guests and stretch your budget to obtain that dream wedding and allocate more on quality services OR would you rather have a large guest count 160+ and sacrifice a little more on aesthetics?
We have a rare break tomorrow! Which means, a much needed breather! With that said, we’re looking forward to meeting a few new couples for their 2027 wedding dates! ✨
