Drew & Karaleigh – The Big Reveal
Drew Johnstun & Kara Leigh Stofle were married on January 14th, 2011 at Granite Bay Golf Club. We were honored to provide the entertainment for the reception and doubly honored to help do the “big reveal.” Karaleigh and Drew had a big surprise for all of their guests. Most of them knew that she was a few weeks pregnant, but almost no one knew if it was to be a boy or girl, because she only found out a few days before the wedding. Her mom, Sherry, wanted to do a big reveal at ther reception and together, we came up with ...
Eric & Fiona – A Shrek-ish Wedding
With a bride named "Fiona," and a groom named "Eric" who stands towering above everyone else, the Shrek jokes were bound to come, and Eric & Fiona loved it. Married on his Dad's property in Woodland on June 6th, 2009, Eric was the quiet giant, while Fiona was the beautiful princess. Their reception followed, with personalized introductions of the wedding party, a Fairy Tale Love Story, beautiful lighting and dancing into the night. Eric surprised Fiona with their first dance, "Look At You Girl," and we surprised them both by embedding their wedding vows into the song. But for me personally, the highlight was ...
Aaron & Katie – Forest House Lodge
On November 6, 2009, I had my first opportunity to work at The Forest House Lodge in Foresthill, at Aaron & Katie's wedding and reception. The ceremony takes place just down the road, at a spectacular mountain setting. It was truly a breath-taking view and with a November setting, the fall colors were in full bloom. Although we had an awesome reception after the ceremony, I really think that just the ceremony itself provided enough WOW factor that they could have stopped right there. The wedding party entered to Dave Matthew's #34, and then Katie walked in on her dad's arm to ...
Andy & Michelle – Library Galleria
Andy Fogarty & Michelle Killebrew held their reception at the Tsakopolous Library Galleria in downtown Sacramento. Elegant, beautiful, fun, smooth-flowing and a celebration for the ages, this reception back on October 28, 2006 had it all! Custom introductions of their wedding party, incredible family toasts, a surprise heart-tugging special phone message from Michelle's family in Italy, which we arranged through her dad, and dancing into the night made this a celebration for the ages. Their wedding coordinator was Lora Ward, from A Day To Remember and as usual, her penchant for extraordinary decor was evident throughout. And of course, it was all captured on ...
David & Jaime – Newcastle Wedding Gardens
David Gurevich & Jaime Finnecum were married on June 12th at Newcastle Wedding Gardens. Photography was by Rick & Lee Siegel, (click on their photo to the left) who, in addition to being awesome photographers, are just about the nicest people you'll ever meet. It's always a joy to work with pros who can see the wedding day as a whole, instead of just "doing their job." David is an Atlanta Braves fan, so he had a groom's cake in an exact replica of a Braves hat, and we played the tomahawk chant as he cut it. As a Giants fan, ...
Jeff & Melissa – Monterey Hyatt
I first met the groom, Jeff Roberts was back in the 90's when he was working as a banquet captain at weddings at the Vizcaya. Back then, Jeff told me that when the time came to get married, he knew that was going to hire me as his entertainer and Christopher Kight as his photographer. Jeff and I worked together many times over the years and when he moved over to Del Paso Country Club, I was always happy to see him there as well. Jeff was one of the captains who really "got it." He understood the big picture ...
Troy & Christina – Woodland Hotel
The Woodland Hotel was the setting for Troy & Christina Thompson's wedding reception on March 28, 2009. Catererd by Cracchiolo's, and with their wedding coordinator, Alison Ulshoffer, along with Premier Entertainment & Video, the day was a smashing success. We began by introducting Christina's parents, Jim & Patsy Brookshire, who had been married for 34 years, followed by the introduction of Troy's parents, , who were married for 39 years! They were fortunate to have several grandparents in attendance as well, and each were introduced to enthusiastic applause. Troy & Emma ThompsonThe wedding party was introduced next, to plenty of laughter and ...
San Francisco Giants – World Champions!
After waiting for years, all of us long-suffering Giants fans can use the phrase "World Champion Giants!" One of the great retro dance hits is Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" but here's something special just for Giants fans! I can't wait for Opening Day 2011! Go Giants!
Dustin & Kelly Petrillo – World Champions!
On September 25th, 2010, Dustin & Kelly were married at her parents' home in Winters. As huge fans of the World Champion San Francisco Giants and 80's music, Dustin and Kelly themed their wedding around both the Giants and the great music of the 80's. Their wedding party walked in to the ceremony to Foreigner's "Waiting For A Girl Like You," and then Kelly walked down the aisle, escorted by her dad, to Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight." Their recessional was Huey Lewis' "Power Of Love." And then, to kick off the receptions, almost every one of their wedding party members were ...
Al & Talia – Wine & Roses
Al & Talia Martin were married on July 20, 2007 at Wine & Roses in Lodi. It was a wild and crazy night, with wild and crazy friends and family! Al is deaf and Talia is a teacher who works with hearing impaired community, so they had sign language interpreters in their ceremony and reception, which really added a lot of energy. From the opening welcome to the final dance, this was a group that was there to celebrate, with dancing, laughter and applause all night. Al & Talia's first dance started as "Endless Love" but then morphed into "I Like The Way ...
