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!

In case I haven’t said it lately, I love my job! I get to work with wonderful couples on one of the best days of their lives. Curtis and Ashley Gillilan allowed me the honor of entertaining them and their guests on February 20, 2010 for their wedding reception. They held the reception at their grand parents home and it was beautiful! Once again I got to work with 3 of Highland Counties best wedding vendors. Gini Beth Henderson from Ginibeth’s Weddings and More was the wedding coordinator and she pulled of another amazing event!  Alex Gilliard was their photographer and is always awesome to work with!  Check out his blog of Ashley and Curtis’s wedding (click here).  The catering was done by the caterer from The Palms in Sebring FL.

I had some much fun at this reception!  You need to check out the video at the bottom, lots of great dance songs that kept things going strong on the dance floor.

Some of the highlights of the reception:

- Introduction to Forever by Chris Brown
- 1st Dance - Only God by Emerson Drive
- Father/Daughter Dance - My Little Girl by Tim McGraw

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!

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
