A Message from the Associate Publisher Alexander Hafizi – March/April 2024
Spring has finally arrived, bringing a welcome break from the rain, but we have to remember the rain is the reason we have so many beautiful flowers blooming and roses releasing their fragrance. With that said, we present our March/April issue of élite Magazine. This edition features our Ultimate Awards in Beauty, Bridal, Business, and Fitness. Witnessing the joy on the faces of our award winners never fails to warm my heart, as they enjoy the community recognition. As you flip through this issue you will see the winners that you as a community have voted on. We appreciate you taking the time to vote for these businesses, take a look inside at all of the fabulous thank you ads from our winners showing their appreciation. Our next awards are for local medical professionals, so stop by our website at scvelitemagazine.com/ultimate-awards to nominate and vote for your favorites in this category.
Inside this issue you will find our élite Wedding Magazine. This bridal section is enchanting, showcasing weddings that are the epitome of “wow!” From venues to color schemes, every detail weaves a magical tapestry. Kudos to the maestros who transform wedding days into unforgettable experiences. Reading about couples in our “Love at First Sight” piece has me feeling sentimental. I reflect on my own love story, and one of the first pictures my partner and I took when we started dating. It was at Pride in West Hollywood in 2013, standing in line to take a “wedding” photo. Eleven years later, we’re still going strong!
Speaking of strength, meet our cover star Nomad, a Santa Clarita resident seamlessly blending business acumen, music, and service to uplift aspiring artists. His story is so inspirational.
In this issue we are proud to announce the next profile in our, “Meet the…” column. In our last issue, we had our Meet the Maker, where we introduced a local business with 120-year long history of innovation, and this month we are pleased to feature Dr. Tony Avakian in our Meet the Professional column where we share the dedication he has for the community he serves.
In addition to these inspiring stories, we bring you a glimpse of a beautiful home/ film studio in Stevenson Ranch that puts the awe in awesome. This property is a testament to architectural elegance and modern comfort. With panoramic views, luxurious amenities, and meticulous attention to detail which embody California living. From its spacious interiors to the meticulously landscaped backyard, every corner radiates a sense of grandeur. It’s a sanctuary that captures the essence of luxury.
As always we have our amazing columnists, Eve Bushman, Carol Rock, Larry McClements and Jey Wagner with their articles that are a must read.
As we navigate through the pages of élite, let’s celebrate the love, and be inspired by those shaping our community. Don’t forget to check out our calendar of events, our non-profits are busy making plans for the upcoming season.
Remember, like a fine wine or a well-crafted article, life only gets better with time – and a touch of élite magic!
Warmest regards,
Alexander Hafizi & Arnold Bryant
