Fermin & Jennifer’s Wedding at Rios-Lovell Winery
Oct 27th
I had the pleasure of working with Fermin and Jennifer on their wedding at Rios Lovell Winery in Livermore, California. I was their DJ/Master of Ceremonies. They hired their florist, Yasmin from Wildflower Event Florals, to be the wedding coordinator as well. She not only did an amazing job with the flowers, but did an excellent job as the wedding coordinator. I also had the pleasure of working with Kate from Kate Harrison Photography. She is so easy to work with and her work is outstanding. On her way to Rios Lovell, she saw a field that she thought would be great to take photos in. After the ceremony, she had both of them climb in her mini and drove them down to the field to take the pictures. During the ceremony, they told the story about the two of them and how they came to be. They went to high school together and after high school they both went off to college. After college, both went off to other countries. They meet again when they both moved back home and happened to be at the same gym. That is when the relationship started. After dinner we started with the formal dances and got the party started. They danced the night away and had a wonderful time. I want to wish Fermin and Jennifer the best of luck.
The Wedding Of Andrew and Rachel at Casa Real in Pleasanton, California
Oct 16th
I recently had the pleasure of being the Master of Ceremonies at the wedding of Andrew and Rachel on July 12, 2009 at Casa Real at Ruby Hill Winery in Pleasanton, California.
When I arrived, the guests were enjoying the cocktail hour in the Amber Room, where Krista Strader was playing the harp. The bridal party was outside taking photographs with Dave from Lepori Photography. It was my first time working with Dave and it was a pleasure working with him. He showed me some of the photos he had taken in front of the fountain at Casa Real and they were stunning. When it came time for the formal introductions, I introduced the bridal party to “Let’s get It Started” by The Black Eyed Peas. After dinner was served, the bride and groom presented a slideshow for the guests to watch while they enjoyed their dinner. Right after the slideshow, we went right into the first dance; Rachel was ready to get the party started! They danced to “Every Time I Close My Eyes” by Babyface. Then we went into the father/daughter and mother/son dances, followed up by the bridal party dance. Once the bridal party dance ended, I introduced the band, Touch N Go. Touch N Go played an hour set, and then I played a couple of songs before the cake cutting. The cake was from Jen’s Cakes in San Jose, California. The cake was incredible, one of the best I have ever seen. Oh, and did I mention delicious? Once we had finished all the formal events, I threw it back over to Touch N Go. At the end of the night I played the last song, “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey. Everyone who was still there got up and on to the dance floor and danced around the Newlyweds. Congratulations to Andrew and Rachel on their spectacular day.

Scott’s Catering and the Blackhawk Museum
Jun 29th
Last Thursday, I was invited to lunch and a tour of The Blackhawk Auto Museum. Scott’s Catering has been the preferred caterer of The Blackhawk Museum for many years, but now will also represent the Blackhawk Auto Museum for booking the facility. Now your event can be taken care of with one phone call! During the tour, of course I saw some amazing automobiles (like a car that was used in President Kennedy’s motorcade), but I also discovered a room that I never knew was there: The Executive Room. The Executive Room is a unique and versatile room. It is on the second floor of the museum and overlooks the lower gallery of the museum. The Executive Room is a perfect place to have a small wedding, birthday party, or host a VIP reception. Lunch was delicious. We started with a spinach salad and the main course was a dual entrée of parmesan crusted breast of chicken and the best herb crusted halibut I have ever tasted!
If you are interested in booking your next event at The Blackhawk Auto Museum, contact Beverly Barnette of Scott’s Catering at 925-934-0598 or visit their website at http://www.blackhawkmuseum.org

Crooked Vine and Stony Ridge Winery
Jun 27th
Recently, Carole Wigren from the Crooked Vine and Stony Ridge Winery in Livermore, California, gave me a tour of their completely renovated event space. They have done an amazing job with their renovation and Crooked Vine and Stony Ridge Winery would be a great place to have a wedding or special event. Their barrel room, with large hand carved oak barrels, is perfect for a candlelit dinner and dancing, and can accommodate up to 75 people. Their Garden Terrace offers a lovely lawn wedding site with gazebo, as well as a lighted patio for outdoor dining and dancing for up to 200 people. Although they do not cater their events, you can choose from 7 of their preferred caterers and they provide all of their award winning wines. We are also one of their preferred vendors for DJ, Videography, Equipment Rentals, and Event Lighting. I am really looking forward to working at the Crooked Vine and Stony Ridge Winery in the future. For more information about Crooked Vine and Stony Ridge Winery, please contact Carole Wigren at 925-449-0458 or visit their website at www.crookedvine.com
