Half Moon Bay- Old West Wedding!

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!!

It was a COLD, windy, rainy day. Inside the little tent it felt like sunshine.  Amy and Dave were in love and nothing was gonna stop the little party that could. It was AWESOME.  This couple didn't let any of the things that happened bother them. If they weren't gonna be bothered , how could we?

 We set up the main system, lights, a photo booth, and a added sound zone because the tent was "L"
shaped. The owners of the inn - Mike and Jessica- made sure there were space heaters so the guests were as comfortable as possible. The wind was blowing so strong at times I swear I thought the whole tent was gonna just lift up and fly away. REALLY.

I find that smaller events (under 75) can have that really intimate feel. That is what we were going for here and it worked beautifully. The toasts were personal and heartfelt. The right kind of music and MCing puts guests into the perfect frame of mind. The staff was great to work with and photographer Ben Krantz was easy.

The sacramento photo booth rental was a HUGE hit. People kept at it all night. There are always some very creative people willing to booth,  and these folks were no different. The booth seems to loosen people up as well.      

                                                                                                                                             

By the time we made it through the traditional and no so traditional stuff they were ready to dance. And dance they did. and dance, and dance....                                          

I can't tell you how much I loved being a part of that celebration. That being said, with out the experience of the sacramento wedding dj team of Function 45 event entertainment, it may not have been the same. Overcoming the opposition wasn't easy, but it accomplished.

The words of Dave and Amy and the end of "OMG, it is every thing we dreamed of" and "you guys are the best we have ever seen or heard of!"

It it worth it? Every time.

What we were celebrating on July 31st at the Camellia Room was really a 60th Anniversay. Pete & Clara
have been married for just over sixty years now. Still throwin down on the dance floor too!

Pete is the funniest guy. Instead of just telling jokes, he'll quickly pull out his wallet and hand you a slip of paper and say "read this". On it will be the joke. As you finish reading and start to laugh, he laughs with you.

Clara is as gentle a woman as I've met. When the toasting time came up in our program ant least 4 people talked about how they felt like they were as much a "part of the family" as Pete and Clara's own kids. It shows in the way they treat people.

When it came to the cake, they fed each other mini cupcakes. After that it  was a spotlight dance to an ELVIS song as everyone joined them, it was a beautiful moment

Pete and Clara came to me by way of Dee Ann their daughter. I was the MC at HER wedding 9 years ago. BTW, Dee Ann also married a Pete. Pete and Clara have a son named Pete. A lot of Pete's and re-Pete's.

One of the coolest things about this event was the accordian player. He played for the first 1/2 hour or so. His name was Vito Riggio. He was the accordian at their wedding 60 years ago.

Awesome.
