Antonio Ayestaran Catering

gregwhatley — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 00:08:55 +0000

I’d like to introduce you to one of my very favorite caterers Antonio Ayesteran.

Since his days as head chef for the Alta Sierra Country Club, Antonio and I have had many occasions to work together. Every meal he prepared, from a wide variety of palettes and tastes to design complexity was terrific! The food and excellent staff he provides for each of his events proves over and over again that he is one of our area’s finest caterers and chef service.

Quality food and excellent service is very very important but I whole heartily recommend Antonio because of his personality. I’ve always been amazed at how cheerful and relaxed Antonio is throughout the entire event! No matter how large and complicated the event size, he, as well as his whole staff stay upbeat and friendly.

Please watch this short video to get to know a little about the man,the chef the legend that is Antonio Ayeasteran!!

Melanie Soleil Photography Webmercial

Here is the webmercial I produced for one of my favorite photographers and people. Melanie is always upbeat and has a quick and joyous sense of style and composition. I have seen her work under extreme conditions and she has always managed to keep and even keel and a gentle, fun tone with all her clients.

I strongly refer Melanie to any potential couples who are seeking a very very top notch photographer. This short video was shot in the cool May afternoon of 2011 at River Highlands Ranch. She kept her model Julia Marrs upbeat and cheerful even under the cold late winter conditions. Notice that Melanie is able to have a personal and FUN time with her bride and yet is able to capture her bride’s true beauty!

Ariel and Paul Schnobrich Wedding

gregwhatley — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 03:04:23 +0000

I was the wedding DJ for Ariel and Paul Schnobrich on November 26 of 2011.
The ceremony and reception were held at the always sparkly River Highlands Ranch, located on highway 20 just outside Grass Valley. Ariel was radiant and Paul was
beaming ear to ear.

The ceremony was held late in the November day and as you can see in this complimentary video, Ariel’s dress was luminous as it caught the last rays of the setting sun.

Melissa co- owner of Christopher’s Catering prepared and served a remarkable multi course meal. The crowd filled the entire inner spaces of the gorgeous Ranch reception hall.
The couple moved to North Carolina as Paul continued his military career. It was my privilege to be a part of their very very special and emotional celebration!

gregwhatley — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 18:33:23 +0000

Casey Wilkins and Natalie Cooke were a late December wedding, which added a great feel of Holiday cheer to the already romantic setting of the Historic Stonehouse.
Nikko Wu, owner of the Stonehouse, has the entire old building looking top rate! She even had the “cave” set up as a photo booth for the guests to have their pictures snapped.
Donna from Joy of Life Events as always had everything planned perfectly. Linda and Jerry ( L& J Catering) did a fantastic job with the multi course menu and Donna the Cake Artists’ cake was stylish and tasty as always. Michele Coomler and hubby Darren from Turning Leaf Studios were the couples photographers and friend Lydia chipped in to make sure the sparkly bride Natalie was captured in all the shimmering lights the DJ’s dance lights and Christmas trees had to offer. Casey and Natalie Wilkins were married in front of 100 guests and the following complimentary video was shot by my son. Enjoy!

Elvia and Jon Bird Wedding Day Highlights Music Video

I had the great honor to be asked to have my company Mountain Event Productions do the DJ and Wedding Videography for Grass Valley Wedding of Jon and Elvia Bird on July 9th.2011. They held the wedding ceremony and reception at the Ponderosa Vineyards in front of 120 family and friends.Roger and Pam of A Family Affair www.famaffair.com/ the catering. The food was excellent. The music the couple picked out had their guests dancing right up to lights out.

Elvia is truly a beautiful young woman. Her radiance and good natured personality made capturing the video images a remarkable and pleasurable experience. Jon is a soft spoken yet playful man who by the way, is also easy on the eyes (from a girl’s point of view of course!) and is completely in love with his bride!

Watch this short music video and you’ll agree, these two were meant for each other.

A great wedding, a great reception and a wonderful start to a long and happy marriage!

Congratulations Jon and Elvia!
