They held their reception at the Terrace Hotel in Downtown Lakeland FL.  I’ve worked at the Terrace many times through the years, but it had been a while since I had been there last.  They have a new staff working the banquets and they were top notch!  The room looked beautiful and everything ran like a well oiled machine.  Danielle and Jason added lots of personal touches that made the reception uniquely theirs.

Some of the musical highlights:

- 1st Dance – Let It Be Me by Ray Lamontange
- Introduction – I’ve Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas
- Bouquet and Garter – Pink Panther, Single Ladies, Wishin’ and Hopin’, Theme to Rocky, Another One Bites the Dust

For a daytime reception, this one was outstanding!  Check out the photos (click on the thumbnail to see a larger photo) and video below, please please leave positive feed back, and as always … enjoy!

The New Mr. and Mrs. Bennett!

We were given the opportunity to DJ for Mark and Rhonda Bennett’s wedding reception.  Mark and Rhonda are such nice people and their family and friends came out to celebrate with them for a brunch reception.  They held everything (ceremony and reception) at the Holiday Inn on North 98 in Lakeland.  The room was decorated very nicely and things went very smooth (with the exception of the Omelette station, which was a hit, but they only had two pans going so it did bottleneck the line, but well worth the wait).  KC Photography handled capturing all their important moments.

Some of the highlights of the reception:

1st Dance: Can’t Help Falling In Love With You – Elvis
Cake Cutting: Love and Marriage
Rhonda’s Dance with her son Dennis: Because You Loved Me – Celine Dion
Mark’s Dance with Denise and Iris: My Girl – Temptations
Bouquet and Garter: Let’s Get It On for removal, Rocky and All Shook Up for the Garter, My 1st My Last My Everything and It’s Raining Men for Garter, Pink Panther for Replacement
Last Dance: 1st Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack
Grand Exit: Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye by Steam

Justin and Megan ... so much in love ...

Justin and Megan Tighe’s wedding reception was unbelievable. It was our 1st time as the DJs at Bilmar Beach Resort, but the staff made us feel right at home. The ceremony was outside (I have to give major props to Megan and all the guys in tuxes as it was a heat index of 103 when the ceremony began, but they didn’t so much as complain once) on the beach. After the ceremony they came into the Beach Bar (it was air conditioned thankfully) where after an amazing dinner, Megan and Justin’s party became legendary! Check out the video (if it’s not up yet, check back in a few days), Arnoldo did an unbelievable job with his playlist. So many fun songs that rarely get played at wedding receptions and the dance floor was eating it up! Here are some of the detail highlights:

- 1st Dance: Can’t Help Falling In Love With You by Elvis (which is awesome since Justin’s brother Jim is an Elvis impersonator)
- Daugher / Mother Dance: Song for Mama by Boyz II Men
- Son / Mother Dance: Forever Young by Bob Dylan
- Cake Cutting: 8 Days A Week by The Beatles
- Bouquet Garter Songs: Bad Touch, I’m Too Sexy, I Wear My Sunglasses At Night, What Is Love, Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Fire Burning, Switch / Mr. Bombastic
- Last Dance: At Last by Etta James

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
- Grand Exit: Na Na Hey Hey Goodbye by Steam

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!

Stealing a moment together on the dance floor.

I was the DJ at Paradise Cove in Orlando for Elizabeth and Toby Norquist’s wedding reception. Elizabeth found us through our website and all of our contact was by email and phone up til the day of the reception, but Elizabeth gave me so much background on the two of them and their tastes I felt extremely comfortable helping them have a truly memorable ceremony and reception.

It was an absolutely beautiful evening (they couldn’t have asked for better weather). Paradise cove is so pretty! If you are wanting a beach reception and you don’t want to travel to the coast, you really need to check this place out. Kahuna Grill (http://www.kahunagrill.net/1598078.html) did the catering and the food was amazing! Their photographer was wonderful to work with (I will post her link if/when she contacts me). Elizabeth did a terrific job picking her vendors.

Some of the highlights of the reception;
-after saying I Do they did their processional to “All You Need Is Love” by the Beatles
-1st Dance song was “Lucky” by Jason Mraz
-Cake Cutting song was “Banana Pancakes” by Jack Johnson
-Elizabeth danced with her dad to “My Girl” by the Temptations
-Electric Slide/Cha Cha Slide/Macarena
-Soul Train Line to Calibria / Space Jam / C’mon Ride The Train

Elizabeth and Toby were so much fun to work with. I wish them both a life time of love, happiness, and togetherness!

Check out the photos and video below.

One of Allison and Steve's personal touches.

This may have been the shortest wedding reception I’ve ever performed, but I had a great time with it.
Steve and Allison are down to earth people that love their classic rock music.  Steve specifically requests that any music that might be played on Oprah Winfrey Yatch need not be played, I got a chuckle out of that.  This reception only had one dance and that was the 1st Dance to which Steve and Allison dances to Maybe I’m Amazed by Paul McCartney.  We did their introduction to For Those About To Rock by AC/DC.  Any reception that you can play Led Zepplin is alright in my book   They had cajan style food for their meal and it was a little spicy, but very delicious.  Thank you Allison and Steve for allowing me and my company (A Premier Entertainment) to be a part of their celebration.  Make sure to view the video at the bottom of this page!
