Harmony High Homecoming – THINK PINK!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Schools

So right after ERHS’s homecoming, Monica and I went to the far end of Osceola County for another homecoming at Harmony High. This year, they chose THINK PINK as the basis for homecoming week. Each day, they had a different way to raise money and awareness towards breast cancer research. The morning of homecoming, they even had a 5K.

Good for you, Harmony!

East Ridge Homecoming

Another high-energy school. The moment students walked in, they started dancing.. you gotta love crowds like this! They were especially excited at the new lights that were brought in, including the ever-awesome UFO fixture. (They saw this at prom last year and requested it by name!)

Ocoee High School *CELEB APPEARANCE BY CUPID*

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Schools

Our first homecoming of the year, and it’s huge. We have another big dance at Seminole High School and another one at Sunlake.

You can bet where the stress level was with three equally large dances on the same date!

No worries, because all three went well.. but since this is MY blog, I’ll chat about MY dance. Ocoee High School did it big last year with Thrill da Playa of the 69 Boyz and this year was no exception. World-famous Cupid (Cupid Shuffle) came in to party with a surprise appearance from Eliseo of Orlando Superstar group, TREAL.

This year’s theme was Alice in Wonderland, and the school focused on making everything large… the tunnel that students walked in made them feel small, there was a giant chair from the Mad Hatter’s Tea Party on the corner, giant playing card guards surrounded the gym… and this was all made by the students and sponsor, Wendy. They did such an amazing job! I was impressed.

Our spotlight was used to enhance the “larger than life” aspect, but also lit up Cupid during his performance. We also had a projection of a Cheshire Cat that appeared and disappeared, and had animated eyes that followed the students as they walked in. It looked too cool!

There are LOTS of photos, courtesy of my good friend Jenny from J-Walk Photography; the first few I shot (You can tell by the watermarks). My wife, Monica, rocked it out with the video.

The 2nd dance floor was closed due to the rain, but it’s OK because we all had a good time inside!

Paul and Leeanne’s Wedding Turns Lake Ashton into a Club!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

Leeanne and Paul are an awesome couple. I love people who I can joke with and not worry so much about being a stuffy professional– I felt like I was able to relax and really have fun with this whole crowd. The whole night was amazing as we got to set up an entire nightclub at this wedding. Here’s the list of what we set up:

  • 4 lit up columns around the dance floor with moving heads on them
  • Blue laser
  • Color-changing uplighting
  • LED Floods
  • Aerial effects lights
  • Haze to bring it all together
  • 2 Realistic Water Reflection Effects on the dance  floor.
  • Game Show system customized with questions about Leeanne and Paul
  • …and slide shows!

They were a nonstop dancing group and wanted to party hard! As usual, the food at Lake Ashton was phenomenal and the staff treated us like one of their own. Check out the photos and videos below!

Samantha and Terrance’s Destination Wedding and Reception!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

I love destination weddings– and this one had a twist. Most people celebrate their reception in Florida to go near the beaches, but Samantha and Terrance live in the best place for beautiful beaches: BAHAMAS. They wanted a change of scenery, so they chose the Lange Farms in Dade City. Now this is pretty cool, I think. The Lange Farm is a large venue, but still has a very quaint feel. It’s secluded, so there’s no traffic, and has a large outside area. Unfortunately it rained, which put the ceremony inside and cancelled the bonfire (where we were going to play Junkanoo music).

Mr. and Mrs. Kelly are so awesome that they didn’t let this detail ruin their day– they partied hard and made sure everyone, even the vendors, felt welcomed! Gino and I had a blast… check out the pics and videos to see a bit of the party and mixing. I got to jump from Reggae to Soca to Top40… it was a blast!

Orlando Quince DJ bilingual MC

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Sweet 16

What a fun quince! Jeisy, with the help of her mom, Jamillet, wanted a fun Quinceañera that involved games, dancing, and a few traditions. One bad thing did happen: THE AC FAILED; yet that didn’t stop anyone from dancing and having a good time. Our game show system was brought in, customized with question about Jeisy, her friends, family and favorites. The screen was also used for a special slide show that Jamillet created.

Lighting was simple, but beyond effective. Our 4Bar light along with the UFO centerpiece really transformed the room; and I also go to test my new ADJ Hypnotic RGB light. Since the theme centered around the moon and stars, it was common sense that the bliss would be brought out!

Check out the photos and video below. The video is a must-watch because we had a lot of fun doing a soul-train!

Stephanie and Bryan’s Partyrock Reception

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

Crazy stuff, I’ve known Stephanie since she was eight. Her sister, Sarah, even took a job at our old skating rink. I also did the weddings for mutual friends Jeff & Casey and Adam & Bethany. Needless to say, I know this crowd always goes crazy.

Once again, Eaglebrooke (Lakeland), got to put up with me… but with rewards this time. Eaglebrooke had a totally new look thanks to our lights.

We had (write this down, and ask for it at your wedding):

  • Cake Table side flood
  • Memorial Table Flood
  • Sweetheart Table Pinspot
  • Accent wash over both sides of the dance floor over the tables.
  • Accent wash on the floor.
  • Dance floor color changing floods
  • Dance floor centerpiece lighting
  • Blue Liquid Laser Ceiling Projection
  • Blue Uplights
  • Undertable Light

A club member walked in and said “Oh.. sh**.” Yeah, my feelings exactly.

I set this up solo because my wife had to be sent to the hospital. An idiot slammed into us (he was picking something up of the floor) and it did damage to her back. Luckily she was released and decided to join me for the reception. Folks, my wife is a trooper and she can beat up your wife. weddings  Stephanie and Bryans Partyrock Reception

I got to play with my new American Audio headphones… these things are LOUD!

Check out the photos and video below.. trust me, this is a MUST-SEE!!!

Fistpumpin’ Salsa? Megan and Matt’s Reception!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

There’s something about summer weddings in Florida, maybe the scorching heat, that causes people to go crazy on the dance floor. Good thing, because I am gearing up for 4SchoolOnly’s Homecoming Tour HCx11!

Megan and Matt had their reception at one of my favorite places, Eaglebrooke Golf and Country Club. As usual, their service and food didn’t disappoint. Nothing transforms Eaglebrooke like some beautiful uplighting and a ceiling wash, and that’s exactly what Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham wanted!

weddings  Fistpumpin Salsa? Megan and Matts Reception!

Their introduction song was U2′s “Beautiful Day” for the whole wedding party. To kick it up a notch for their personal intro, we dropped in the bassline from Trick Daddy’s “Let’s Go.” Check it out!

To top it off, they had a great request list of a little bit of everything, including some Hispanic (Salsa, Merengue and Bachata) music.

Check out the photos and video clips below!

Fistpumpin’ madness at Marissa and Ensor’s Wedding Reception

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

Aside from being an awesomely awesome couple, Marissa and Ensor’s friends and family were just as epic. With a beautiful ceremony outside by the Bok Tower followed by another great reception at the Visitor Center.

I’ve done weddings for people from New Jersey, and that meant pure craziness.
I’ve done parties for hair stylists, and that meant pure craziness.

Basically, it was a lot of fun, as one can tell from the photos and videos. Speaking of, check them out below!
