We did a fantastic Friday wedding last year on 08-08-08. It was one of the hottest days of the summer. The entire event was held at The Ranche in Fish Creek Park. This is a great venue for a wedding with plenty of great photo spots and the food is out of this world. We set up the interior space plantation style, with long guest tables and a long head table with a length of feathers on the front to tie it into the guest table centerpieces
Elaine and Stu wanted something a little different, they didn’t want speeches or a dance or much in the way of a traditional wedding. So we did something we had never done before, without telling any of the guests we flipped the day. We started with the couple greeting their guests in tradtional Korean outfits and we got right into dinner…I heard guests whispering “Did I miss the ceremony?’. It was great!
You can see Elaine here, greeting the couples guests
After dinner was served and in the middle of dessert we snuck the couple out and they changed into their wedding dress and tux, we then had the head table quietly get up and leave. All of a sudden the guests looked up from dessert and the head table was EMPTY.
We announced that the ceremony would now take place and to please make their way outside, we provided candles to each of the guests as the exited the dinner
Stu walked down the aisle to the Star Wars theme played by a string quartet while Elaine opted for Aerosmith’s “I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing”
As the sun set the couple were married surrounded by friends, family and candle light
As they kissed the first kiss, the guests lit 42 inch sparklers off their candles as Elaine and Stu came back down the aisle
We even got the Bride and Groom in on the action
After the ceremony we had the staff bring out special coffees and cocktails out onto the lawn. As the sun set (and the temperature went down) the lighting we had brought into the venue really created a wonderfully romantic atmosphere
The couple wanted their cupcakes and to eat it too, so they opted to have a cupcake tree with a real cake topper for them to cut.
After everything was taken care of it was time to really let the fun begin, out came the scotch, and cigars
One of the most fun couples I have ever had the pleasure of working with, I mean…everyone should have a masked Mexican wrestler at their wedding
Elaine and Stu were nice enough to take us to lunch at their Korean BBQ restaurant located at 17 – 7400 Macleod TR SE. I can say it was some of the best food I have ever tasted and the place has amazing decor and atmosphere, but don’t take my work for it, this is a quick blurp from a Calgary food critic…
“Make it a point to visit “Koreana BBQ” when you have a hankering for tasty Korean BBQ or Japanese food with a Korean touch. With friendly service, extremely generous portions and a modern setting, you won’t be disappointed.”
You can call to make reservations at 403-452-1020, I highly suggest you do.
