Well we wish the weather was a little more corporative today as it was on Saturday, but we have a few more clouds and wind that is keeping it very cool.
There wasn't too many vendors working this event, they choose to have the family pitch in and help. They were all running at top speed turning the room into a masterpiece. They had a little help from BeckenRidge with already having the tables and chairs in place along with the chair covers they rented from us. The real work came with adding the linens, centerpieces (that they put together here), plates and water goblets. Busy bees they all were and the end result was beautiful.
Josh Hudson (photographer) was capturing every detail of the day. The bride was busy getting ready in her room while the guys (opted out of the Belvedere Room) finished their attire in the bathrooms. They were ready very soon and started taking their photos in the vineyard. Oh spring time in Oregon, so wish it was more predictable.
They kept with their Plan A having the ceremony on the lawn and reception inside, with only 60 or so guests switching to a Plan B would of been easy. The main reception room was set in sheer shades of purple, orange roses, floating candles and curly willow. The bride was looking to having a low lighting intimate affair for the reception. In order to achieve this we turned down the lights in the main room and closed all the blinds.
The ceremony went off as planned on the lawn with dark looming clouds all around. Right before the bride was to make her entrance for the ceremony the clouds broke bringing the sunshine and a rainbow in the distance beyond the metal arch. Everything just happened so perfectly.
They had a friend play the baby grand piano and sing using BeckenRidge's wireless mic and sound system. Instead of a DJ they brought in their ipod and had their coordinator run BeckenRidge's sound system. The sound system worked great, until they really wanted to turn up the volume for dancing but the speakers really couldn't keep up. Luckily their were only a couple songs during this time. 
Special Occasions catering http://www.specialo.tzo.com/ was present for the food, setting the buffet table beautifully. As always there was lots of food left over for them to enjoy later.
They did the bouquet and garter toss on the lawn giving them plenty of space and not have to worry about hitting any of the ceiling fans.
As the skies darkened the lights around the building lite up. The contrast of the white limo http://www.sunshinelimoservice.com/ and the building was great for pictures. The bride & groom took a few more pictures around and on top of the limo (missed those shots) before heading to the beach for their wedding night.
