Josh and I have been invited to play and exhibit at the Waterfront Bridal Show on the famed Skansonia Ferry Boat on Lake Union in Seattle. The show takes place this Sunday, February 22nd from 11:00-3:00 and will feature many of the area’s finest and most sought-after wedding vendors and professionals. If you’re planning your wedding, please come join us for some great music and a chance to chat up the people who just might be your perfect caterer, photographer, baker, officiant, etc…
Lisa Dupar Catering Open House
Josh and I had the pleasure of playing at the Lisa Dupar Company open house last night and had a blast. Lisa, Jonathan and Co. have a beautiful production kitchen in Issaquah, and each year they open it up to their friends, clients and prospective clients for a bash. Having the party in their kitchen is a great touch, as attendees get to see where it all happens. Of course, the food was amazing! There were bites of everything from Potato Latkes with Spinach and Sour Cream to Chorizo Corn Dogs to Tongue Tacos! And Jonathan’s desserts were spectacular, as always, with just a hint of Valentine’s flair. It was great to see old friends like Lisa from Seattle Hospitality, Kaycee from Parker Events, Josh from Chateau Ste. Michelle and Jacky from Event Success as well as meet some great new friends. Thanks to Lisa, Jonathan and the whole Dupar crew for a wonderful evening. If you’re looking for a caterer for your wedding or event, do check them out.

If you’re planning your wedding and haven’t yet settled on a caterer, you should be sure to check out Lisa Dupar Catering. One of Seattle’s top caterers for 25 years, Lisa and her team are wildly talented, creative, and a pleasure to work with. Each year they open the doors of their huge kitchen in Issaquah to clients, friends and brides and grooms and put out an amazing spread. This year they have asked pianist Josh Rawlings and me to provide the music for the event, held on February 12th. Visit their web page today and contact them if you’d like to attend.
Seattle Wedding Show
We had a great time playing at the Seattle Wedding Show yesterday at the Washington State Convention and Trade Center. We played two sets in the registration area and got a chance to showcase our talents, meet dozens of brides-to-be (and some husbands-to-be as well), and even saw some old friends. It was nice to run into Jeff & Rhiannon from The Amazing 88s Show, the finest dueling-piano show you will ever see. We had the pleasure of playing at their wedding last summer and hit it off because we’re all musicians and Wedding Professionals. I also saw Annette Lefebvre from Luxe Wedding Design and my dear old friend Martha who was at the show with a friend who’s daughter is getting married. It was like old home week!
Big thanks to my wonderful band Josh, Evan and D’Vonne for always playing so beautifully and enthusiastically. Thanks also to the Seattle Musicians’ Association for setting it all up for us.
Get Hitched, Give Hope
We were honored and thrilled to be a part of Get Hitched, Give Hope, a wonderful wedding event and fundraiser for the Making Memories Foundation at Seattle’s Arctic Club Hotel. The Dome Room was spectacular, the vendors and attendees were dressed to the 9’s, and the event raised $30,000 for terminally ill breast cancer patients. Thanks to Kelly Simants from Sweet Pea Events, Michelle Loretta from mmm…paper and all of the other organizers for throwing such an amazing event and including the JPQ!
