What better way to close out the first Saturday of September than by officiating a wedding ceremony atop The Graduate Hotel in downtown Eugene. And, by sharing that experience with several of my favorite vendors:

I want to give a shout out to all the vendors I worked with on Saturday at Lili and Tanner's wedding at Scholls Valley Lodge.

Katie @ Stumptown DJs - Thanks for ensuring that the guests could hear all parts of the ceremony and for making my job much easier. I look forward to working with you and/or Stumptown DJs again.

Seth David @ www.sethdavidfilms.com - It was great to work with one of my Willamette Valley Wedding Pros colleagues. Thanks for having me "wired for sound" so that the couple gets an awesome video of their wedding.

Leah Dawson @ https://leahdawsonphoto.com - What a fantastic team to work with. Fun, great energy, professional and made me look good during the ceremony. Right? 😍

Reedville Catering - Thanks for keeping me hydrated before the wedding and making sure I had something to eat before heading off to another ceremony. I always enjoy working weddings where Reedville Catering is involved. Great staff!

And, of course, Day of Coordination by Carisa Smith and www.adornmentevents.com - If you are looking for a coordinator for your wedding, I highly recommend Carisa and her team @ Adornment Events. Her experience in the wedding industry is invaluable and will take the stress off the couple to enjoy the day completely. Efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, professional are just a few of the words I would use to describe Carisa. Thank you for making my job much easier!

I had the honor and pleasure of officiating the wedding ceremony of Daniele and Jacob on Saturday. The weather was hot, but the mood was chill as family and friends from near and far gathered at the family home near Crow (OR) to shower the happy couple with love and flower petals.
Many thanks to Hannah @ www.djstolzrecords.com for making it possible for the guests to hear the ceremony and for keeping the party going at the reception.
A shoutout, as well, to Francisca @ Define Motion. It was my first opportunity to work with her and it was AWESOME! Trusting that our paths will cross again at another wedding.

Congratulations to Kara and Phil!
Although temps were in the 90s, it did not deter them from celebrating their exchange of vows on Sunday afternoon at a private residence near Jefferson. Thanks for stopping by my booth at the Willamette Wedding Show (www.willametteweddingshow.com) last February.

Muchas gracias to Luz Y Sonido Los Cuates DJ services ensuring that we could be heard and for making life easier for me.

Congratulations to Sarah and Dominik!
I had the honor of officiating their wedding ceremony on Saturday at Holiday Farm Resort. (http://www.theholidayfarmresort.com) If you are looking for a beautiful wedding venue with amenities, this setting along the McKenzie River is worth your attention.
Thanks to DJ Cole Romine Thick Audio Dj Services for helping make my job so much easier.
