Upcoming wedding gig

I met with someone who is getting married on November 5 and they're having me DJ their wedding reception. Actually, they are having a "fake" ceremony on November 4 in their backyard as a reality show is going to re-do their whole backyard so that they can have a ceremony in it afterwards. They really wanted to be able to invite all of their friends so they decided to do a "fake" wedding in the backyard and not tell the tv show about their wedding plans for the next day with the "real" wedding. If you ask me it sounds like some kind of a sitcom all in itself. All we need now is "Mr. Furley" to walk in and ruin the wedding and open his big mouth to the producers of the tv show. The wedding reception that I'm going to be a part of is in Oakland at Cafe Verbena on 11th and Broadway. It's actually an office building but there is a restaurant in there with a huge lobby for businesses. We went there last night and met with the groom and his sister to take a look at the spot and I was really impressed as was the wife (mine). They're going to do an outdoor ceremony, weather permitting, and the patio is surrounded by beautiful buildings in downtown Oakland. You almost forget that you're in Oakland at that point.
