I just wrapped up Huy & Becca’s Rehearsal at the Ponte Family Estate Winery in Temecula. There were lots of laughs and I know their reception tomorrow will be even more fun. When the rehearsal ended, one of Huy’s Groomsmen, Howard, was “volunteered” to collect everyone’s nametags…
Is our Groomsman, Howard, suffering from MPD? (Multiple Personality Disorder)
In May of 1999, while entertaining at Craig & Kelly Cooper’s Reception, I was asked to to pull a fast one on Craig’s brother, Steve, who was one of his Best Men that day. During the Grand Entrance…we surprised him with a brief version of “The Dating Game” as a roast of his status as a perpetually single guy. Steve played along quit well…but when you see the footage…be sure to check out Bachelorette #2…what a HOTTIE!
Craig and Kelly had selected a casual Hawaiian theme and they had insisted that I wear board shorts and sandals. This is the only reception I have ever performed at in shorts. So I introduced myself to their guests on the mic as “DJ of Great White Legs.”
So fast forward to today…imagine my delight when I found out that Steve Cooper was finally getting married. And today he and his fiancé, Jessica, secured my services for their big day in July of 2008…when Jessica will become his wife…in San Francisco. Look out Craig…you know what they say about payback…
This morning I took a tour of Paradise Point Resort & Spa with Bryan & Holly to talk about their wedding plans for June of 2008.

We looked at the spot where their ceremony will take place, with the Mission Bay off to the right…the deck where their guests will enjoy cocktails and appetizers (and a great mix of background music)…

…and the ballroom where their reception fesitivities and dancing is going to happen.
Out timing was great as they were also able to introduce me to Kirsten Doyle, their catering contact. Based on what I saw of the resort and the gracious hospitality shown to us by Kirsten, I know Bryan & Holly have chosen a great location for their big day. If they choose my services, this will certainly be a wedding I’ll be looking forward to participating in while serving as their Wedding Entertainment Director™.
I just met today with Ryan and Christine. They are getting married in December and they have a fantastic story. He was the first boy she ever held hands with at 12 years old. I gave them a complimentary copy of my book, “The Best Wedding Reception…Ever!” We had a great time together. Whether they choose my services or not, I know their reception is going to be a big, fun party!
