Incredible couple … amazing ceremony and reception! I got to perform for one of our own DJs here at A Premier Entertainment, Mr. Josh Fain and his lovely bride Kelly. The got married (and held their reception) at Crystal River Church of God in Crystal River Florida. They had about 150 of their closest family and friends there to celebrate with them. It was a magical evening and I was absolutely honored to be a part of it! The gym area of the church was decorated whimsically with Christmas lights, the food was delicious, and the guests had a wonderful time hamming it up for the photobooth (Snap Yourself Silly Photobooths – 863-324-7333).  When we got to the dancing, it was off the chain!!!  Josh was the perfect groom, on the dance floor and leading the party.  I had so much fun, it was such a blast!

Some of the highlights:

- Kelly’s sisters toasts, I wish I had taped them, they were hilarious!
- 1st Dance to Michael Buble’s “Thats All”
- Parents Dances: Kelly with her dad to Darius Ruckers “It won’t be like this for long” and Josh with his mom to “Because You Love Me”
- The best YMCA Dance ever!!!

I didn’t take many photos of this reception as I was so busy with MCing and keeping things flowing, but with my lovely wife Christina’s help, I got a few very nice pics to go along with the vide0.  Please make sure to leave positive content and as always … enjoy!

And here is the video!

This was my 1st time working with Centerstate Bank (in fact this was the 1st time that they had a DJ for their Christmas Party) and I have to say that I had so much fun with this group, I can’t wait to be asked back next year!  They held their party at Lake Region Yacht and Country Club (one of Polk Counties best kept secrets for having any type of party) and they did it up right!  Their buffet looked amazing with a Prime Rib carving station to boot!  For desert they had a make your own strawberry short cake station, delicous!

As for the party, we hit the ground running!  My dance floor was packed almost the entire night, it was fantastic!  There was an awards ceremony in the middle of dancing and even when that was over we picked up right where we left off, with a packed floor!  One of the branches even had their own dance to Stayin’ Alive (you got to watch the video to see how cool that was).  This was such a great group and the perfect way to end my events for 2009!

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Blessed 2010 … see you next year!  In the mean time, enjoy the photos and videos from this party, leave me positive comments (you know I love em’) and … as always, enjoy

And now for the video

I was at the Admirals Inn in Winter Haven on December 11, 2009 to perform for the staff at Dundee Elementary School’s Christmas party.  This is a client that we have had the pleasure of working with for the last 3 years (my 1st time, Arnoldo was their DJ the previous 2 years).  This was a small group (less then 50 people), but they were lots of fun!  We did several of the fun participation dances like; Cha Cha Slide, Electric Slide, Cupid Shuffle and they all went over great!  It’s always great to get to work with the staff at Admirals Inn as well, they do such a great job!

Check out the photos and video below and please leave positive comments!  Merry Christmas and enjoy …

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:

Mr. and Mrs. Creeley enjoying their last dance together!

I had the pleasure of entertaining at Matt and Mandy Creeley’s wedding reception.  These are two exceptional people and I’m honored to have been a part of their celebration!

Matt and Mandy hired A Premier Entertainment at the recommendation of Denise from Huntington Hills Golf and Country Club.  We have done many successful events and Denise is one of my absolutely favorite vendors (www.huntingtonhillscountryclub.com).  When I arrived at Huntington Hills for set up, everything looked beautiful (and the Prime Rib was unbelievable, Denise and her staff rock!)!  Mandy choose the colors and decor and we added our uplighting under the cake tables and behind the head table to really pull the head table in as the center point of focus in the room.  We also did the stars on the ceiling, but I didn’t get any good pictures of them so you’ll have to take my word that it looked great!

When I was doing the final consult with Mandy, I knew that this was going to be an awesome reception.  Mandy wanted it to be fun and it turned out exactly as she had hoped!  Her family and friends were wonderful!  Lots of dancing, especially when you consider that this was a dry reception and it didn’t get dark outside until the last hour of the reception.

We also got to work with our favorite photography company, KC Enterprises Photography (www.polkphoto.com) as well as our favorite Videography company (www.storybookweddings.tv).  Make sure you check out KC Enterprises blog after they get the chance to post their photos, Christina (my wife) and Jenny are amazing!  I don’t know if Storybook Weddings will be posting a video, but if they do … check it out!

Some of the highlights of the reception:

- Introduction music: Sandstorm for Parents and Bridal Party, Rock and Roll Part 2 for Matt and Mandy
- 1st Dance: Beautiful by Jim Brickman w/ Wayne Brady
- Father / Daughter Dance: Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman
- Mother / Son Dance: Somewhere Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
- Bridal Party Dance: That’s What Friends are For by Dionne Warwick and friends
- Bouquet and Garter: Oh Yeah, Let’s Get It On, Rocky Theme, Another One Bites the Dust, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, and It’s Raining Men
- Anniversary Dance: Remember When by Alan Jackson
- Last Dance: Always and Forever by Heatwave

These two young ladies were on the dance floor all night.  Lots of fun!

Showing off their monogram, Mandy designed this herself.  Check out the cake topper too

The room looked great.  I loved this shade of green

Mandy told me that tying the cards on the boxes was a real treat, lol.

Like I said, look familiar!

Electric slide with the monogram, very cool!

The head table all decorated and lit up by A Premier Entertainment!

My setup, very clean with the awesomeness of the Bose system.

Matt’s cake while looking very cool was even better when I found out it was cheese cake, yum!

1st United Methodist of Oviedo Valentine's Day Dance 2009

I had the pleasure to work with the wonderful people of 1st United Methodist Church of Oviedo on Valentine’s Day.  This was a fund raising dance / auction for the the youth group.  They are using all the money made for there mission trip.  As a Christian 1st and as a DJ this was truly a blessing to be a small part of helping them spread the Gospel.  I look forward to being asked back again next year and to hear of their good works.  Here are some photos from their dance and a quick video at the very bottom.  Enjoy!
