Every now and then we get to work with a Dream Team staff of vendors.  You know, people you’d hand pick if you were having a wedding.  Sarah and Paul built such a team for their wedding reception on June 18, 2011 at Eaglebrooke Golf and Country Club.  Eaglebrooke is one of the top facilities in all of central Florida with Beth Primmer and her staff kicking butt and taking names.  We got to work with Tim Hicklin from Storybook Weddings (one of my personal friends and amazing videographer).  They hired Deana Brower from Sassy Soiree as their coordinator and Kelly Day of Kelly Day Photography.  And to top it off, I tag teamed this one with Arnoldo again.  This was an incredible assembly of vendors, but we were no match for Sarah / Paul / and their guests.  It was such an awesome reception, non-stop action once we got to the dancing portion of the evening.  And with the lighting we provided, Eaglebrooke looked even more amazing then usual.

Paul and Sarah got our Entertainment Coordinator Package and our D’Elegance Lighting Package.

Some of their musical highlights:

Grand Intro: All You Need Is Love by The Beatles
1st Dance: Love Never Fails by Brandon Heath
Father / Daughter Dance: Daddy’s Little Girl by Michael Buble’
Last Dance: Marry Me by Train

I love working at Eaglebrooke Golf and Country Club in Lakeland FL.  I can honestly say that I’ve never had a poor experience there and Joleen and Nick Yunker’s Wedding Reception on March 26. 2011 was no exception.  They were such a sweet couple and the group of family and friends they invited to the wedding were great to work with.  It was a wonderful evening, I’m so very blessed to have so many awesome clients!

It was also great to work with on of my photographer friends, Alex Gilliard of Alex Gilliard Photography.  Here is his blog from Nick and Joleen’s Wedding.  Always great working with him!

The package that they choose was our Entertainment Coordinator Package and our TV Slide Show Package.

Some of their musical highlights:

Grand Intro: Bittersweet Symphony
1st Dance: All The Way by Frank Sinatra
Groom – Mom Dance: All To You by DJ Keo
Last Dance – Save The Last Dance For Me by The Drifters

This past weekend Arnoldo and I had the pleasure of working with Matt and Kali Morgan for their wedding reception.  They held it at Eaglebrooke Golf and Country Club in Lakeland Florida (if you have read any of my past blogs, you know that I love Eaglebrooke!  It’s such an amazing site and the staff is excellent.)

Matt and Kali were looking for something different.  They wanted a very elegant, cocktail style reception where the focus was on the guests mingling rather then on dancing.  We played lots of crooner style music (Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Michael Buble) mixed in with some country and motown.  If the guests danced, it was a bonus as long as it was in that style.  We did have some dancers (you know there are hard core dancers at every reception, God love em’), but for the most part it was everything that Kali and Matt wanted and hoped for.  I was excited to be able to deliver for them as they are both wonderful people!

Funny side note, Matt’s brother Kyle (the best man) was in my office just 2 days earlier with his lovely fiance Elizabeth.  They booked our services for a reception in 2010, but oddly Matt and Kyle never spoke so neither knew that our company would be entertaining both receptions.  It’s a small world indeed!

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

Tony and Melissa's 1st Dance!

Spent my July 4th seeing fireworks of another kind, the kind you only see between two people that are really in love.  That was the case for Tony and Melissa Lobozzo.  They held their reception at Eaglebrooke Golf and Country Club in Lakeland Florida and it was beautifully decorated.  Eaglebrooke is one of the premier venues in all of Central FL and as always the food and service was incredible!   The personal touches that Tony and Melissa did for their guests were incredible, from the personal notes on everyone’s place cards to the bible verses on the sweet tarts, it was uniquely them.

I was asked to play contemporary Christian music for guest arriving and dinner music.  It was well received by the Lobozzo’s guests.  Many of them complimented us on the selections and we even had a couple of the youth perform a dance to one of the songs they use in their youth worship, very cool!  Their photographer for the day was Jenny from KC Photography and it’s always a pleasure to work with one of our own!  Jenny did a great job and you’ll have to check out the photos when they get them up on their blog (KC BLOG).

Your going to have to watch the video to see just how much fun we had at this reception, the only thing that could have made it better is if we could have kept going!  Here are some of the highlights from the reception:

Intro: Get Ready for This and Peter Gunn Theme
First Dance: I Will Be Here by Steven Curtis Chapman
Father / Daughter Dance: Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman
Mother / Son Dance: Song For My Song by Mikki Vereck
Cake Cutting: Love and Marriage by Sinatra and How Sweet It Is by Marvin Gaye
