Koala Cake On TV - Amazing Wedding CakesTonight’s wedding was held at the Wilson Creek Winery in Temecula, CA. This event was slightly unique because we had a film crew at the reception… The wedding was being featured on the We TV show Amazing Wedding Cakes!

Christopher Garin from “Let Them Eat Cake” designed the cake. Chris Garren was informed that our couple was looking for a koala bear cake. Why a koala you might ask? They met while both were in the Navy and strictly followed military protocol about “no signs of public affection”. So they came up with a code-word to represent their love “koala”. A competition kicks in on the show, who will create the cutest koala? The cake is complete with a eucalyptus tree with lifelike leaves placed next to the abstract cake with aboriginal decorations.

We started off with the ceremony outside on the patio overlooking the vineyards where a personal friend of the bride & groom performed the ceremony. Guest’s then moved inside the winery for cocktail hour while our couple took some photos around the property.

After the cocktail hour the doors to the Barrel Room were opened. Guests were invited into the cozy space with one uniquely large “U” shaped table for everyone. The red uplighting really added some much needed warmth & interest in the room.

It was a smaller intimate crowd this evening. We had fun. As their wedding DJ I tried to play a large variety of music tonight since there were guests of all ages. You can see that we had some fun and our groom had some fun as well :)

At the end of the wedding reception we invited all of the guests to make their way outside. We lined them up on either side of the exit doors and handed out quite a few sparklers. Add in a few matches and some cheers… We have a great photo and our couple was off!

Falkner Winery Wedding CakeI was back in Temecula tonight for a Friday evening wedding. The ceremony was held outside down near the vineyards. Two little guy’s that grabbed everyone’s attention in the beginning of the ceremony were the ring bearers. They were fairly young so to avoid any problems with them getting down the aisle they were towed in a red wagon. This caused every guest to break out their camera to try and get a photograph. The reception was inside the Pinnacle Restaurant above the ceremony area. Dancing went well. The bride and groom’s music selections consisted of a lot of electronic music. I tried to balance it out by mixing in some remixes of mainstream songs that guests would recognize but still keep an electronic feeling. Overall it was a very nice group to work with.

Temecula Winery Wedding CakeAfter the hour drive up to Temecula I arrived at a private winery estate for tonight’s wedding. It is always interesting to follow the “referral trail” to find out where clients get your information. This wedding was a referral from a 2007 wedding… which was a referral from a 2002 wedding… which was a referral from a 1999 wedding! So basically this wedding is a direct result of a wedding I did over 11 years ago. It is always fun to keep track of these sort of things to see the progress you make over the years. The couple’s house located at the top of the hill overlooking their vineyards was amazing. We held the ceremony out front on the lawn. Cocktail hour moved around back to the pool area. Dinner was held inside the tent. This wedding was for a long time figure within the Billabong surf company. Many of the top surfboard shapers were in attendance tonight including: John Carper, Terry Martin, Pat Taylor (Best Man), and Rich “Toby” Pavel. Inside the tent the groom paid tribute to these shapers with a display of their work along with some background bio information. Dancing went extremely well tonight even with a longer 7 hour event. They really enjoyed family and friends who kept it going until the end. An excellent Temecula Winery Wedding Reception!
