Talk about bringing down the roof!  Amber and Andy had rented a massive out door tent to cover all of their guests / dance floor / and food, but God had another plan.  The rain and wind damaged the tent, forcing them to have to relocate only a couple hours before the beginning of their reception.  Under the competent leadership of their wedding planner Ginibeth Henderson (GiniBeths Weddings and More) and with the help of her family and friends, they were able to turn the Golf Cart Garage into an impromptu wedding venue.

Most brides would have lost it, but Amber was truly graceful, taking everything in stride.  She was the life of the dance floor later and their guests had an incredible time!

Was it perfect?  No, but it was amazing to see so many people working together to make Amber and Andy’s reception something to remember!  It’s a reception that I won’t ever forget and under any circumstances, this reception would be considered a total success, but with everything that went on … this is a reception that will go down as EPIC!

Their Package was our Entertainment Coordinator Package with LED Light Show and Monogram.

Some musical highlights:

Grand Intro: The Way You Make Me Feel by Michael Jackson
1st Dance: Marry Me by Train
Cake Cutting: Sugar Sugar by The Archies
Last Dance: I’ve Had The Time Of My Life by Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley

Bethany and William had the best party in all of Highlands County for their reception.  The roof was raised at Chateau Elan in Sebring Florida on February 26, 2011 as the new Mr. and Mrs. Saures with their wedding party brought the Pain Train Handlebars into action.  This reception was a blast!  We got to work with Delaney Photography and Storybook Weddings, two of our favorite vendors.  The dance floor was packed all night long!  You’ve got to check out the video at the bottom of the page.

I had the pleasure of being the DJ for Scott and Shawna Whitener’s wedding reception at the Admirals Inn in Winter Haven FL on February 27, 2010.  Shawna and Scott might have been the most laid back clients I’ve ever worked with.  They put their total trust into my hands to do whatever I wanted with their reception.  All I received as requests from them were the 1st dance song and both parents dance songs.  Lots of responsibility, but I enjoyed the creative control

The reception went fantastic!  The guests had a great time and I even offered Scott a job if he’s ever interested (he did the best Groom thank you / introduction of his own bridal party that I’ve ever seen, I wish I would have taped it!).  Check out the photos and video, I truly enjoyed being their DJ / Master of Ceremonies and it’s always a joy to work with the staff at the Admirals Inn.  I also had the opportunity to work with Donna from Everlasting Memories Photography, very nice to work with and extremely professional!

So please enjoy the photos, check out the video at the bottom (don’t forget to leave great comments, lol), and as always … enjoy!

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!

A Premier Entertainment was well represented at Sarah and Aaron Whitaker’s wedding reception as myself, DJ Kyle Davis, and my wife Christina had the pleasure of working with this great couple and their family.  We not only got to provide the entertainment for the reception, we also brought a small light show and our newest, coolest enhancement … Oh Snap! Photobooths.  We had such a great time performing for them at the Quality Inn Conference Center in Sebring, FL.  The night was magical, love was in the air (not to mention snowflakes … in Florida)!!!  Not many people can say they got married in Florida while it was snowing, lol.  To see all the fun we had, check out the photos and video below.  Also be on the lookout for my next blog which is all about their photo booth experience!  Remember to leave some love on the bottom of the page and as always … enjoy!

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!

What a wonderful couple, Sara and Bobby were so easy to work!  It was a gorgeous Florida fall night, the food was excellent, and when we got to dancing, this crowd was lots of fun!  This was A Premier Entertainment’s 1st time peforming at the Grant Bly House in Deland Florida.  I was glad that I got to be the DJ, not only were Sara and Bobby super cool awesome, but Debbie and the crew at the Grant Bly House were so easy to work with!  Sara’s dad officiated the ceremony and did an excellent job!  So many personal touches by the bride and the groom ranging from a slides show (we provided the LCD TV to show the slide show) to the trivia questions left on each table for the guest to play during dinner.

Some of the highlights:

- 1st Dance: When You Say Nothing at All by Keith Whitley
- Parents Dances: I Loved Her 1st by Heartland and Perfect Fan by Backstreet Boys
- Cake Cutting: How Sweet It Is by Marvin Gaye
- Last Dance: Waiting On A Woman by Brad Paisley

I would also like to thank both Sara and Bobby for their service to our Armed Forces.  It’s wonderful people like these two that defend our great nation and pay the price for our Freedom.  I appreciate them and what they do so unselfishly for me and those I love.  Thank you!

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!

Oh What a Night!  I had the honor of being the DJ for Laura and Clayton Carter at the Kenilworth Lodge in Sebring Florida on September 18, 2009.  They choose Gini Beth Henderson from Gini Beth’s Weddings and More as their wedding coordinator and let me tell you, she did an amazing job!  I’ve worked with Gini Beth several times and she is such a pleasure to work with. Every detail was perfect and it makes my job so much easier when I can focus on entertaining … thanks Gini Beth!  They had Ellie Kurz from Kurz Photography (our company has worked with Ellie before, but this was my 1st time) and she was wonderful to work with as well.

The room was jam packed with friends and family.  The food was delicious and right after dinner they cut and served their cake which was also delicious.  After the formalities we opened up the dance floor and it stayed packed all night long.  I had so much fun at this wedding … check out the video below all the photos to see just how awesome a night this was.  Please remember to leave positive comments for feedback … 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

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!

Congratulations Matt and Mandy – may your life be a thrill ride of joy and happiness!

Now for the video:

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!

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)!

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!
