8/21/10 Historic Cottage San Clemente, Jessica and Scott

I have been in this business for a while now and I have seen my share of gorgeous spots to have a wedding and reception, but Historic Cottage in San Clemente is right up their in terms of view it offers. Jessica and Scott said their "I Do's" on a bluff overlooking the ocean. Once the ceremony was finished the guests already at their tables got to enjoy a delicious taco bar that was serving up some great food all night. No scheduled dinner here, if you're hungry eat.

Another great aspect of Historic Cottage is you get the same backdrop for your first dance.

Jessica is a dance instructor for Arthur Murray Dance Studio and wanted her guests to have as much dance time as possible, so as soon as we completed the formal events, the dance floor was open, and her friends and family took advantage of it.

Here is my view for most of the event.

Sometimes I have a rough job.

This has been quite the Summer for us, but Rocking Ricky is still on the air!

The summer has been so busy I know my readers have felt like I have been neglecting them. Well, they are right.

This past weekend I had two events that absolutely demanded me telling the world about them.

The weekend started Friday at Rancho Las Lomas for Jenni and Tom Prouty's reception. Tom and Jenni are a great couple that had an eclectic taste in music. Even more so than mine and I love clients that love music. Their request list featured songs from groups like "She and Him" (Zooey Daschanel's band, "Vhs and Beta" and "The Grouch and Eligh" song "All In".

They also were not interested in very many traditional events, they did a first dance and that was it. The night was all about music and dancing. As the evening got to the end, some of their friends wanted some newer music. After confirming with Jenni, I gave the crowd what it wanted.

Jenni at one point came up to me and told me she had to ask her friend what song I was playing, that song was "Poker Face". She like it. I am thrilled that I could be the DJ who introduced Jenni to the phenomenon that is Lady Gaga.

In the end a good time was had by all.

As the day turned to Saturday, I turned my attention to Taryne and Jeff and their reception at Keyways Winery in Temecula. This event can be summed up by Jeff, when asked if he was ready to marry Taryne he proudly exclaimed "Oh Hell Yeah". The crowd erupted with laughter, the minister was speechless. Taryne when asked the same question exclaimed "Hell Yeah" herself. I declared that was the catchphrase for the evening.

Taryne and Jeff have a great family, in fact Taryne's proud father delivered a toast that had to be heard to believed. Not to be outdone, Jeff's best man, Mike, also gave a great speech.

This wedding will go down as one of the few where every event happened on time. Why? Taryne and Jeff had not only yours truly keeping an eye on things, but also Annette, the great coordinator at Keyways Winery. The two of us had that event running like a well oiled machine, meaning the crowd got to maximize the dance time. Young and Young at heart danced the night away.

My first time at Keyways was a ton of fun. The staff there was on top of their game, Annette asked for my card so I hope that I can make their referral list as Keyways is a venue I would love to see more of.
