Lauren & Ross – September 20, 2009
The wedding of Lauren and Ross actually was the second of two back-to-back weddings that I DJ'd this weekend, both at the Fontainebleau Inn. It also happened to be the nicest weekend of weather we've had all summer. It was just about as perfect a day as you could ask for. Lauren and I had had many conversations leading up to the wedding. As I got to know her more it became apparent that she is one of the most considerate people I know. Imagine being the person hired to work at her wedding and about the first thing she asks ...
Kari & Raul – September 19, 2009
The day was absolutely perfect for the wedding of Kari and Raul. Blue skies and comfortable temperature in the beautiful setting of the Fontainebleau Inn, made it perfect. Many of the guests arrived by motor coach. Word of Mouth catering had a scrumptious assortment of hors d'oeuvres on the patio for the cocktail hour and the kids in attendance had a blast running around the grounds of the Fontainebleau. The bride and groom were introduced to the dance floor and had their first dance to the song "Everything" by Michael Bublé. Afterwards, toasts were given by the Father of the ...
Stacey & Bryan – August 8, 2009
The wineries in the Finger Lakes region of New York are so beautiful and such fun places to have a wedding reception. Stacey and Bryan had their reception at Ginny Lee Cafe, part of Wagner Vineyards on Seneca Lake. It was a grayish sort of day but somehow the rain managed to hold off for most of the day and only towards the end of the night did it begin to rain. but for Stacey and Bryan, it was pretty much rainfree. Stacey and Bryan had their first dance to "You Are So Beautiful" by Joe Cocker. Stacey and her Father ...
Jessica & Ed – August 1, 2009
If you are a regular reader of my blog, you know by now that the weather this year has mostly been a washout...lots of rain and cooler than normal temperatures. This weekend was one of the better ones and there was no rain. I was happy and I'm sure Jessica and Ed were relieved. The wedding reception took place at Six Mile Creek Vineyard in Ithaca. I've got a special place in my heart for Six Mile Creek as it's where I had my wedding reception. What a beautiful location for a wedding and reception. Although this couple did ...
Alida & Paul – July 26, 2009
It was a beautiful day for Alida and Paul as they celebrated their marriage at the beautiful Fontainebleau Inn in Alpine, NY. They had a lakeside ceremony followed by reception and the weather, although a bit humid, was rainfree and that alone was a major accomplishment given the weather we've been experiencing this summer in Central New York. This was the first time I have worked with the caterers that Alida and Paul had selected. The caterers where none other than the world famous Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. Oh my, what a wonderful treat it was to have such a fun caterer... pulled ...
Angeline & Patrick – July 18, 2009
I have to say that in spite of all the rain this summer, the weddings I've done, for the most part, have escaped major disruptions from rain. Today was a similar pattern as in the past few weeks... the day started out looking quite ominous and even rained a bit before the reception began, but ultimately it turned out to be beautiful with a striking sunset to top off the day. The setting was at the always picturesque Ginny Lee Cafe on Seneca Lake. Angeline and Patrick had endured some tremendous heartache leading up to their wedding. I won't go in ...

Naples Grape Festival 2008
I’m a little late in posting this but better late than never. My Mother-in-law entered the Grape Pie Festival in 2007 and did not win any of the awards. Well that just wasn’t a satisfactory conclusion for the family so we prompted her to enter again this year. Well wouldn’t ya know, she won First Prize! That high honor is called “The...

One day in New York City…
I had a fun day yesterday. A friend of mine is hosting a Rotary Exchange Student from Spain and the young man had a desire to visit New York City. So we hopped in the car and 4.5 hours later were in Mid-town Manhattan. It was hot and humid in the big apple, but that did not deter us from visiting some of the sights… NBA Store, Times Square, Trump... [Read more of this review]
Back to my old stomping grounds
I had some work to do today for a client of mine in Ithaca. The weather was pretty nice so Linda and I decided to spend the day together in Ithaca. She walked the commons and picked up some goodies for an impromptu picnic for later in the afternoon while I was working. I finished a bit earlier than I had anticipated which enabled us to do a few extra... [Read more of this review]
