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

Laporsha Davis asked us to supply the lighting decor for her wedding and we were happy to assist.  We setup a dozen uplights and a monogram for her June 25, 2011 Wedding Reception at Nora Mayo Hall in Winter Haven.  I’ve included some photos of both the before and after.  If you are in the Polk County Area, we can provide you with lighting rentals like uplighting / monograms / breakout gobos / spot lights / and pin spotting.  Please give us a call and we can help you create the perfect light scape for your event!

I don’t get the opportunity to work for people I know before they become clients, so that is why this one was so special for me!  Both Courtney and Jason go to the same church that my family does.  It was crazy seeing so many people that I knew at their reception, such a blast!  Ashly Olivier (pulling double duty as both Courtney’s Maid of Honor and as her wedding planner ) did an amazing job with the decor and it’s always a pleasure to work at Lake Ashton!  We provided the lighting decor as well as the entertainment.  I got to work with my good buddy Arnoldo as we worked as the DJ / MC combo.  It was a blast of a night, you should check out the video and photos below (Arnoldo shot all the photos for this one).

Their package was our Entertainment Coordinator Package with our D’Elegance Lighting Package.

Sara and Bryan Zelenenki had their reception at the Kenilworth Lodge on April 16, 2011.  They are my kind of people, not just because their reception was a total high energy blast, but also because they love Great Danes too (we have 3 adult Danes and we breed).  I don’t know if I’ve ever seen Keniworth Lodge look better then for their reception.  We left it all out on the dance floor, you got to check out the video on this one as well as the photos in the gallery. They also had our photo booth – Snap Your Self Silly Photo Booths (if you haven’t played with our booths, you are really missing out!).

They went with our Entertainment Coordinator Package / Uplighting and Dance Floor lighting / and our photo booth.

Jenn and Brian are such a great couple, if only I could get Brian to like the Buc’s instead of the Dolphins … seriously though, this couple was wonderful and I was so happy to be a part of their celebration.  The had some last minute shuffling of venues and ended up at the Music Ranch in Lakeland.  The venue is better suited for a small concert then a wedding reception, but with a little uplighting and great attitude, the place worked great!  We did the ceremony outside and the reception on the inside.  Once we got to dancing, the floor stayed packed until the very end (actually past the end as we I did an extra set because I was having so much fun).

Their package was the Entertainment Coordinator, ceremony, uplighting, and a small LED Dance Floor Light Show.

Some musical highlights:

Intro: I Gotta Feeling by BEP
1st Dance: When You’ve Got a Good Thing by Lady Antabellum
Last Dance: The Time (Dirty Bit) by BEP

Shana and Brandon had one of the coolest wedding receptions I’ve ever been a part of.  Not only did their lighting package look amazing at The Castle – Holiday Inn Orlando Resort, but how often does the King come to your reception?  Yes, Elvis was in attendance and he honored the couple with several of his greatest hits.   When we got to the dancing portion of the reception, their choice in music was awesome!  Check out the video to see for yourself

Their package included: Ceremony / D’Elegance Lighting (uplights, monogram, dance floor lighting).

Some musical highlights:

Once we got to the dancing, our dance floor stayed pack from beginning to end.  Gina and Blake were very particular with their requests, so I mixed from a list of their favorites and as you can see in the video (or not see in the video, it was kind of dark, sorry) the play list worked perfectly.

Some of their muscial highlights:

1st Dance: Love’s Holiday by Earth, Wind, and Fire

Lake Ashton is one of the most beautiful venues in Central Florida and with the decor that Britni and John picked, it just popped! Britni wanted her reception to be filled with fun and dancing, especially current dance music. I got to mix songs that I rarely get requested at weddings, it was great fun!!

Some of the highlights of the evening:

- 1st dance: Making Memories of Us (this was a special song that John picked for Britni)
- Parents Dances: The Man You’ve Become (John and his mom Janet) and I Loved Her 1st (Britni and her dad Robin)
- Cake Cutting song: What a Wonderful World

This reception was Epic! Check out the photos and video below to see just how awesome it was. Please leave me a comment and as always ENJOY

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.

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!

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

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

Photos and a video are below … Enjoy!

We uplit and back lit the head table.

We also did their dance floor monogram.

Notice the uplighting of the columns and under the cake table.  Our lights accented a truly beautiful decor!

I love this photo of them during the processional.  They were really getting into the song Victory.

The head table was absolutely beautiful!

Shirron belting out her song, girls got some pipes on her.

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)!
