Wednesday, July 23, 2008 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 event: An absolutely spectacular, old-fashioned, formal wedding! Vintage, retro Old Hollywood, Old Malibu glamour to the max! Pure perfection.
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.
It's all swing to us and, as Frank Sinatra once said, "the best music ever written."
We began with a 90 minute "seating music" concert in the courtyard of the estate, playing the bride's choices of unusual, intense and intricate symphonic music. 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... |
