The very beautiful setting of the Calamigos Ranch and Equestrian Center in Burbank, California is a great setting for any wedding ceremony / reception or banquet being considered.

With the ceremony courtyard (complete with babbling waterfall) conveniently located just outside the doors of the reception hall, there was no way things could not go smoothly.

I provided music and amplification for the ceremony with my small portable one-speaker compact PA system (which I use for many ceremonies and can even run on its own battery power), preparing special selections chosen by the bride and groom (Gipsy Kings for the pre-ceremony and then Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic" for the Bride's aisle walk). I also provided a wireless microphone for the officiant.

Afterwards, everyone headed into the reception hall for cocktails where I played more selections chosen by the bride and groom consisting mainly of Rat Pack era swing and jazz (Sinatra, Dean Martin, Louis Prima, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett and all the greats from that time).

Calamigos then prepared a delicous buffet of roasted vegetables, poultry, fish and prime rib and once everyone had enjoyed their meal, it was time for speeches and toasts from the Best Man and also the Maid of Honor, after which we moved into the bride and groom's special dance and ultimately open dancing consisting of a variety of modern pop, RnB and hip hop as well as plenty of golden oldies to keep everyone dancing all night long.

It was an absolute pleasure serving Sarah and Chad as well as working with the Calamigos Ranch.   ,I
