Tom and Rhonda’s wedding at Sammy’s Manakiki and Legacy Village

by James ~ July 13th, 2009. Filed under: Cleveland Weddings.

When Tom and Rhonda told us that they both manage catering and events for Sammy’s, one for the largest catering companies here in the Cleveland area, we weren’t too terribly surprised to hear that they would be making use of both the Manakiki Golf Club location for the ceremony, and the Legacy Village location for the reception. Even if they hadn’t told us, the fact that Rhonda went around hugging the wait staff at Legacy during cocktail hour probably would have tipped us off that something was up. :)

Even though we were supposed to get rained out all day, the threatening clouds hung around just long enough to keep the ceremony guests nice and cool. After that, the sky broke and we had perfect shooting weather the rest of the day. Thankfully, the weather people here in Northeast Ohio are notoriously inaccurate.

Here are James’ favorite images:

Entertainment was by Jerry Bruno’s The Bottom Line. I’ve never heard pipes like this girl had at a wedding. She held this note so strong and so long that the entire dance floor stopped dancing, watched her and cheered. It was truly something to behold.

    It’s really not fair that you guys are this awesome :) That picture of Kleifeld’s restaurant with the bride and groom kissing in the far right corner I would hang that on my wall and I don’t even know them! You are such artists!
