Blue Ribbon Catering

A great celebration began with a lovely ceremony at Sunset Hill Park in Ballard. It was one of those Seattle days where we couldn't figure out where the rain was coming from. The nice and sunny day featured random gusts of wind and rain. Wacky weather notwithstanding, everything went without a hitch, thanks in part to the new battery powered PA system we are using and a well-placed umbrella.

The reception that followed at Blue Ribbon Catering featured DJ Sean and a very lively crowd. They danced to some classic old tunes, including Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed" Delivered" and the Isley Brothers version of "Shout" mixed in with newer hits by Pitbull and Rihanna. One of those groups that sang loudly to every song and had to be dragged off the dance floor once the witching hour was up. Lots of fun for a DJ!

The food is one of the main reasons for Blue Ribbon's popularity. Any place that doubles as a cooking school better have great food, and they deliver time and time again. Wonder why we always like being there so much...A bonus is being right on Lake Union, with some nice views and lake breezes. Luckily DJ Sean had a wedding there the following day as well, with the ceremony inside at Blue Ribbon. Good thing, because the weatherman had the wrong weekend forecast, the supposedly sunny Sunday turned rainy and a bit gray. The second wedding at Blue Ribbon was no less fun, though. The night was topped off by a surprise exit by the bride and groom via a sea-plane. Can't get much better than that!
