Fellow vendors to supportLet’s say hello to Tyler Waltner, a jazz saxophonist studying at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, New York. During the past few years, Tyler has performed regularly for weddings, cocktail hours, and receptions across both Portland and Rochester. Here’s a word from Tyler: “I can bring in custom live jazz ensembles — ranging from an intimate duo for cocktails to a full, soulful quintet for dinner — but I also specialize in live improvisation alongside a reception DJ to completely elevate the dance floor energy.” Learn more about Tyler’s work. *** Oregon caterer Reedville Catering has a new website, updated menus and welcome guide, and a monthly newsletter (sign up in the footer of their website). Also new: They’re selling a tent! Here are those details, per Reedville: We are selling our 20-foot by 30-foot tent that we purchased to extend cafe seating during COVID. It has been safely stored since it was taken down and is still in great condition … We are selling this for $5,000, which includes the sidewalls. If you’re interested in learning more about Reedville and/or the tent, contact sales and event planner Jessica Gardner at jessica@reedvillecatering.com. *** Learn a bit more about the vendor featured above, Rain Check Coffee.
