I’m so blessed!  Getting to work with couples like Jim and Kristen just drives that point home, I can’t believe that I get to celebrate week in and week out with so many awesome people.  Jim and Kristen had their ceremony and reception at Eaglebrooke Golf and Country Club in Lakeland Florida on July 18, 2009.  A Premier Entertainment was secured to provide sound for the ceremony and entertainment for the reception.  Jim and Kristen asked for me personally to be their entertainer and I was honored to be a part of their special day!  I also got to work again with photographer Tina Sargeant from Sargeant Studios.  Tina is awesome to work with and her photos are amazing … check out her blog (click here), can’t wait to see her photos of Jim and Kristen!

If there was any concern I had before this day, it was the weather.  We’ve been getting rain here almost everyday and the clouds were rolling in during their ceremony.   It held off until after they got their photos done (see the rain coming down in buckets at the beginning of the video, it even knocked out the power for a second).  The day couldn’t have gone any better!

They choose the following for their package:

- Entertainment Coordinator Package
- Uplighting
- D’Elegance Dance Floor lighting package
- Dancing Under The Stars Lighting effect
- Video Slide Show (we used the 40″ LCD Screen on a stick of truss instead of the 5×7 video screen w/ projector because of space and for effect)
- Basic Ceremony Package

Here are some of their highlights:

- Introduction: Ain’t No Mountain High Enough (parents), Smooth (Bridal Party), Balada Para Adelina (Love Story), Party Up! for Jim and Kristen
- First Dance: Lost In This Moment by Big & Rich
- Parent Dances:  It Won’t Be This Way For Long by Darius Rucker (Kristen’s dance with her dad), Song for Mama by Boyz II Men (Jim’s Dance with his mom)
- Cake: Sugar Sugar and How Sweet It Is
- Bouquet and Garter: Mission Impossible – Eye of the Tiger – I’m Too Sexy – Single Ladies – Girl Fight – Switch – (Dude) Looks Like A Lady
- Last Dance: At Last by Beyonce

Leaving the Ceremony to begin their lives together!

Kevin and Jessica are awesome!  When we did our 1st meeting I knew this would be an reception that I was going to really enjoy.  They had their ceremony and reception at Leu Gardens and both the gardens and the facility are beautiful.  They had Puff n Stuff as their caterer (they did an awesome job, food was great and the presentation was perfect!).  KC Enterprises Photography was their photographers (Christina and Jenny are the absolute best, but I’m sure I’m being biased as they work with us all the time). Arlene Blake from Designs by Cornelia as their coordinator (Arlene is amazing, she was running around making sure everything was perfect for Kevin and Jessica.  Couldn’t ask for a better coordinator to work with, thanks Arlene).  This was such a great team to work with, everything went off without a hitch.

It was a little cool for the ceremony, but overall they couldn’t have asked for better weather.  The ceremony went off perfectly and then when the guest arrived at the reception, Arnoldo and I kept them entertained for the duration of the reception.  Some of the highlights: The Time Warp, Kevin and Jessica singing With a Little Help From My Friends, and the group effort on Gin and Juice.  This is  a reception that I will never forget!  Check out the  videos at the bottom of the photos, there are 2 (the pretty one is Arnoldo’s, but I had some footage he didn’t so that is why there is 2).

Lakeland Regional Cancer Center really knows how to throw a party (make sure to watch the video at the bottom)!  There was so much food (all of it delicious), Huntington Hills did an amazing job as always.  They hired us to not only provide music for dancing, but also lighting, video, karaoke, and slide show projection.  For the no-shows, you really missed out.  We did cocktail and dinner for the 1st two hours followed by 1/2 hour of karaoke.  After that, we opened the dance floor and it didn’t empty until the very end of the evening.  I can’t wait until next years party!  Thank you Lakeland Regional Cancer Center for hiring us (A Premier Entertaiment) for your holiday party.
