Vintge, Retro Old Hollywood Glam: A Malibu Wedding

Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles. A romantic, old-fashioned wedding. Fabulous!

The setting: A private estate at Trancas Beach, north of Malibu, Zuma Beach and Point Dume. WAY out there, on that rugged part of the California Coast that's as gorgeous as it gets.

The wedding coordinator: Avesta Carrera of Malibu Events - the consummate, elegant party planner.

The music: US, of course! One of my small but mighty Los Angeles wedding bands extraordinaire, The Judy Chamberlain Quintet - playing the music of Rogers and Hart, Cole Porter, Irving Berlin and George Gershwin.

No Pachelbel or Lohengrin for this lady! Big fun, and the selections truly delighted and surprised the guests. My dance band musicians are all classically trained.

The continuity of a smooth transition from one style of music to another is a beautiful thing. It's one...

Hey Judy,

The whole band was great....

Judy Chamberlain’s Radio Daze
