When Greg and Mia said they wanted to get married at Long Branch Farms, I said "Count me in!" They were the last of the Petty clan getting married and I had been the MC at nearly all of them. I was of course thrilled that they asked me to join them for the big celebration, so two months before the event I did a site inspection and was amazed at the venue. It truly was an "old west town". It sits about 4 miles south of the Ritz in Half Moon Bay and you would never expect it.
As I walked around checking the site for all the things an entertainment company would need, I was continually surprised by how authentic it all seemed. They even had the little church at the end of town. It was really something. We were able to give them just the right amount of music and sound at the ceremony to augment the surrounding.
The escort cards were actually escort mason jar mugs that had sarsaparilla in them. They had great grill food to go along with the western theme. We did table advice and song dedications for the buffet line.
Once the Meal was complete The best man Steve (Gregs bro) had an awesome poem he had written. It was both funny and heartfelt. That last line made everyone a little weepy.
After that the cake was on and the saloon was open! Even though it was a bit on the chilly side we DANCED! We brought in a bit of lighting to spice up the place for dancing, beyond that, the place has a life of its own. Of course Mia looked amazing and Greg was handsome enough for a old tyme sheriff!!
