Our Wedding

People have asked us over the years about our wedding, since we've done close to 1000 since. Leslie and I were married on October 1, 1999, just as we were getting into the wedding business full-time. We chose a great location that Leslie especially had a place in her heart for, and a spot where I DJ'd a wedding for the first time for a friend years earlier - Greystone Mansion in Beverly Hills. With incredible views, an amazing old money house and impeccably groomed acres of land in the hills above Sunset Blvd., this spot has it all. So much so, that while we were about to start the ceremony we got a surprise visit by Martin Sheen (so L.A.!), who was filming an episode for the West Wing.

We battled Friday traffic in a limo across the west side (so L.A!) to Sean's mother's house for a backyard reception, and the celebrations ensued. With Monty Banks playing some great tunes on piano (he also performed on accordion for the ceremony) and friend Steve DJing up some classics, the reception was so much fun that by 1 a.m., the neighbors had had enough and the LAPD showed up, ending the merriment. Good thing since we had to catch a plane in the early morning to make it to Cape Cod where an east coast reception was held at the Hyannis Yacht Club. A couple days later we were off to Italy, Monte Carlo, southern France, and Spain (where Leslie had a DJ gig!) for an unbelievable honeymoon. A month later, our Seattle friends threw us a party in the International District, with the Dusty 45s rockin' the house. Leave it to us to have three parties for one wedding!
