…. Florida is very hot. Enough said. It must’ve been about 100º in the middle of the night with all the dancing.

Did it stop anyone? Nope. They only danced faster, harder, and sang a LOT louder! This is by far the most high-energy wedding I’ve ever done. Scratch that, make it the most high-energy event you could imagine!! I have a few schools that I’m going to have to tell to step their game up in terms of energy!

Then again, Derek and I knew this was wedding was going to end in epic proportions (the last song was Peanut Butter Jelly Time). Irene is Greek and George is Mexican…. you heard right, two amazing families who are KNOWN for being in a culture that throws parties often shut down by authorities.

I’ve done Greek weddings. I’ve done Mexican weddings. They’re always loud, proud and lots of fun! I even did another Mexican/Greek wedding that required me to get 18 hours of sleep the next day in order to recoup. However NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, could have prepared me for this night… there was just SO MUCH ENERGY!

Located at the beautiful Bilmar Beach Resort, where Justin and Megan had a very similar-paced reception, music was flying in and out of cue. How fast-paced where we? 18 songs in 15 minutes… the second video shows you this megamix. This wasn’t a rarity, this was ALL NIGHT with the exception of Greek music which should never be mixed. Leave culturally-revelant traditions alone, I always say!

Check out the amazing photos, then videos below!! MUST WATCH! Treasure Island (or is it St. Pete Beach?) will never be the same again!

You should already know that my wife is an amazing tech and could blow away most people when it comes to lighting and video set ups… however, she also DJs for the company!

After she finished assisting me at the party at the Village at Lake Ned, we drove to the next event where I assisted her. Johnny called us wanting to throw a special party for his mother-in-law, Candi. He didn’t think there’d be a lot of dancing, just a sporadic set every now and then, but these people danced ALL NIGHT LONG! It was awesome!

As usual, my wife rocked the house and I’m über-proud of her!

…even if it is a bazillion degrees outside!

If the Village at Lake Ned had a different pet policy (I have a dog, cat, snake, lizard, 3 birds, and hopefully a penguin), then I would’ve moved there based on this party; They really DO love their residents!

A nice cold pool in the center with drinks and various foodstuffs, a giant blowup slide on one side and snowcones and a bouncehouse on the other made this an awesome time for the residents. At the end of the night, they all gathered to watch a movie as they swam!

You gotta watch the video! It’s short, but this little boy danced so much he had an audience– you’ll love it!

First, I would like to share a poem I wrote about Florida:

#*&^, It’s Hot.

I most certainly hope your life has changed upon reading my classical piece of Shakespearean rivalry!

In all seriousness, it was hot… but it didn’t stop Robbie and Shannon and their guests from dancing ALL NIGHT LONG. Shannon is Elizabeth Voss‘s sister and I still remember that wedding clear as day. Kelly and I were worried that it may appear to be the same show…. we had the same family and friends, so would music and style be the same? Nope!

After talking to Anne, the super-cool mother of the bride, we were assured that they would be polar-opposites… and yes they were. One had air conditioning, one was at the beach. Just kidding, of course; In all reality, the weather wasn’t that bad… the outdoor ceremony was breathtakingly beautiful and the reception site was beautifully done including the Chinese lanterns that lit up the room in a soft glow.

The mood was kept upbeat the entire night as we played slideshows and music videos during dinner…. ooh, and I forgot to mention that we played Soca during cocktail hour. You can’t beat that!

Just like Jeremy and Elizabeth’s wedding, everyone danced all night! We didn’t have a chance to shoot photos at this wedding, but Tina Sargeant, the photographer, will provide me with some to share– I can’t wait to see it!

Watch the video below and check out an amazing party– including a hot old school set featuring Snoop Dogg, DMX, and Biggie, some Jersey-style Fistpounding, and double-dutch jump rope… without the rope!

It was an amazing evening… I can’t wait for this family’s next big party! Tune in about a year from now to see it!

Go enthusiastic bridal party!! Watch the video– these girls (there were only handful of guys there) were cheering everyone on!

This is the first wedding I’ve been to where 1) There was a guest MC (the wedding coordinator) and 2) everyone matched! The colors were tan and cream white and everything look tres chic. Monica and I had a blast working with the La Playa Staff in Naples, and they treated us very well.

After Kingsley and Felicia left, the guests continued to party, sing karaoke, and ended strong on Usher’s OMG. They ended this amazing Jamaican/Trini wedding with STYLE!

Check out the photos and video below! The video features the cutest little boy dancing!

….not for the Lochness Monster, lol! It seems Josh and Merideth love South Park, too, and wanted that joke tossed in somewhere during the dollar dance.

And so we talked about that dang Lochness Monstah and other things for 2 hours on our final meeting…

…yes, this was another fun couple!

So here comes their wedding day.. they had a beautiful 1:00 Ceremony at Ana Maria Island, just avoiding the 60MPH+ winds that hit us out of nowhere. Their reception was held at the Elk’s Lodge in Sebring where they had a catering team that had the most DELICIOUS prime rib I’ve had in that area. Jenny, Adam, and I had a lot of fun providing DJ, MC, and a surprise Photobooth (SnapYourselfSilly.com) and Dance Under the Stars courtesy of Merideth’s sister, Leah.

On a personal note, I used to hold a leather notebook with the names of people I would introduce. After a while I ditched this and used my iPhone. Now… I use NOTHING, allowing MUCH better eye contact with guests!

Pete and Erin did NOT travel all the way from Cincinnati, Ohio to Ruskin, Florida for a beachside ceremony to see rain stop it all. Nope. A little drizzle never hurt anyone– and in the sunny weather, the COLD rain felt great– guests loved the light sprinkle!

Fast forward to the reception… the food at the Little Harbor Resort was fantastic! A tender prime rib, amazing mini-crab cakes, coconut shrimp, and stir fry created a very eclectic menu that everyone, especially yours truly, enjoyed. The sunset was AMAZING. I hear many travel to this area just to see the sunset. I can see why!

As for dancing– they were NON-STOP! The requests were all over the charts so as a DJ, I enjoyed NOT sticking to sets. I was mixing from disco to country to rock to rap to dance mixes… it was crazy– even the bartenders were dancing behind the bar!
