Just got back from Brian and Erica Rabeau’s reception at the Rusty Pelican this past Saturday night.  The place was decorated to the 9’s and we added to the decor with our uplighitng, monogram lighting, and dance floor lighting.  It looked amazing!  We got to work with Jenny from KC Photography and it’s always a pleasure, can’t wait to see her photos!!!  The staff at the Rusty Pelican was wonderful to work with, I had been in contact with Don and have nothing but great things to say about him.  They turned the room over in a blink of an eye and helped my crew and I make things look fantastic!

We set up a photo slide show with remote sound in their cocktail room and then when it was time for the reception to begin, all the guest came over to the Grand Ballroom where we were set up.  After the introduction we were served dinner (the food was excellent) and all the formalities happened after dinner.  Once we opened the dance floor though, the party went into overdrive.  So many fun people, we had a blast!  I had Jonah and Amanda from my company with me and they did a great job as always!

Some of the highlights of the evening:

1st Dance: At Last
Center Piece Give Away: Yakety Sax
Introduction: 20th Century Fox and 2001 Space Odyssey
Last Dance: It’s Your Love

I truly enjoyed getting to know Brian and Erica.  They are such special people and I know they are going to have an amazing life together.  Hope to get asked back for their 25th wedding anniversary party :)  Check out the photos and video below.  Please remember to leave positive comments …. and as always, enjoy!

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

Wow!  This wedding was so awesome for so many reasons.  Don’t get me wrong, all of the weddings we have done are amazing in one way or another, but Elizabeth and Jeremy’s is definitely one that I won’t ever forget.  I’ve worked at Cypresswoods Golf and Country Club many times in the past (wonderful staff and facility I might add), but with the help of their wedding coordinator Ashly (http://www.olivierevents.com) they transformed the room into something magical (with the help of our uplighting, you need to check out the before and after pictures below).   In fact, this wedding reception broke our record for the most up lights used in at any event (32 up lights in the dinning room and 12 LED up lights in the tent where they had their dance floor). 

Everything was 1st class for this wedding from the decor to the other vendors we had the opportunity to work with including:  

Videography - Kevin Brewer of Brewer Photography and Video (http://www.brewerphotovideo.com)
Photography - Michael Potthast of Potthast Studios (http://www.potthaststudios.com)
Venue - Cypresswood Golf and Country Club - Bob Schade (http://www.cypresswoodcc.com)

It was also wonderful to work with A Premier Entertainments own Arnoldo Offermann.  I was only the MC for this reception while Arnoldo kept the dance floor packed.  Also all of the light shows you will see in the video from our LED uplights were programed by run by Arnoldo, he is da bomb!

Some of the reception highlights:
- 1st Dance to Then by Brad Paisley
- Elizabeth and her dad danced to My Little Girl by Tim McGraw
- Jeremy and his mom dance to The Wedding Coat (can’t remember the artist … inside joke, lol)
- Grand Entrance for Bridal Party to Sirus by Alan Parson’s Project, Elizabeth and Jeremy to Florida Gators Fight Song
- Cake Cutting to How Sweet It Is by James Taylor
- Garter removed to Let’s Get It On by Marvin Gaye
- Bridal Party Dance to Friends In Low Places by Garth Brooks
- Last Dance to She’s Everything by Brad Paisley

Match made in heaven!

This wedding ceremony and reception was off the chain!  I was invited to be the DJ for Carolyn and Curtis Lewis’s wedding reception at the Sheraton Suites in Tampa Florida.  Carolyn had an incredible vision for her wedding day and it was a treat to be a part of it.   Along with providing the music for ceremony and dance portion of the reception, I also provided the uplighitng and the monogram on the dance floor.  

Once we got to the dancing portion of the afternoon, the dance floor was packed.  Carolyn and Curtis are truly blessed with wonderful family and friends.  This wedding/reception is one that I will never forget.

Some of the highlights:

Processional to Victory
Grand Enterance to Ain’t No Stopping Us Now
1st Dance to At Last
Carolyn’s Sister Shirron singing Inseperable as a tribute
Last Dance to Let’s Get It On

We truly enjoyed meeting so many wonderful brides at the PC Bridal Exhibit and Market Place on March 1st, 2009.  I took a couple photos and some video from the show.  I was told there were over 300 brides in attendance.  Our company provided the stage lighting, the sound for the stage, sound for the seminar room, and the monogram that was above the seminar room.

Also, I got the opportunity to share with my very own seminar … Tips to an Awesome Reception.  All in all, it was a wonderful day.  I look forward to meeting with many of the brides that signed up for a consult at our booth.  Enjoy the photos (Check back for a video soon)!
