Albert & Jenni's Super-Unique Wedding Reception!

Author: arnoldooffermann  //  Category: Weddings

Lots of videos and lots of photos on this blog post!!!!

Albert & Jenni remind me a lot of my wife and myself. Albert and I are both Hispanic, love music, but aren’t dancers. Jenni and Monica both love country music, are very outgoing… and all 4 of us love the Lord. We were going to work well together!!!

Albert lied to me though: for someone who said he doesn’t dance, Albert was on the floor the ENTIRE time! This was one heck of a party!

Their wedding reception was one of the most unique things I’ve witnessed. Here’s some highlights:

  • Reception held at Windy Hill Ranch in a quaint little barn (quaint meaning HUGE, haha) with AIR CONDITIONING! :)
  • The most unique first dance ever. They created their own choreography. IMPRESSIVE!
  • No wedding cake– Blue Bunny Ice Cream instead– DELICIOUS!!!
  • Father Daughter Dance was Disney’s “Under the Sea.”
  • Very Unique garter removal, thanks goes to DJ Rob from Indiana for his help!!
  • Bridal Party dance was the Chicken Dance, the ultimate cheese was made FUN again!!!

Monica and I had a blast watching everyone dance to anything that was thrown in the music. I got to play some songs I’ve never played at a wedding before… you’ll have to check out the video!! There’s a few photos and 4 short videos, because I had to separate all the awesome clips– definetly worth watching!!!!!

Mason & Kayley Cobb's Wedding

Author: arnoldooffermann  //  Category: Weddings

What an amazing wedding! I was the DJ whereas Kelly MC’d. (His blog can be found by clicking here.

The wedding was held outside Kayley’s father’s house in a huge tent in Avon Park, FL. The location was beautiful… what once was a steep hill was paved to a nice flat area with fresh sod to hold 400+ friends and family.

The coordinator, Gini Beth (http://www.ginibethsweddingsandmore.com), did an amazing job putting everything together.

This was definetly a country crowd who enjoyed hits such as I’m a Cowboy, Amarillo by Morning, Cowboys Like Us, Copperheard Road, and many other hits.

A few things Mr. and Mrs. Cobb did that are great wedding tips!

  • When having your reception outdoors, make sure the DJ/band has plenty of room and coverage from the sun & wind
  • PortaPotties are NOT fun. Consider renting a “trailer restroom” like they did. Spacious, air conditioned, and has working plumbing!
  • Purified Water available! (Especially tasty when tap water may come from a well)
  • Match your surroundings! They chose a nice green to match the grass and flora surrounding the house.
  • DJ in front of dance floor. Yes! NO ONE SAT IN FRONT OF THE SPEAKERS!

Check out the great photos provided by Alex Gilliard as well as some stolen (again) from Kelly’s blog. Alex’s photos are watermarked so you can tell which ones are his. Be sure to stop by his blog and check out even more photos!

There’s also a GREAT video!

Oh yes, and there’s one more thing…. with 400 people, Kelly and I wanted to try a new speaker arrangement, so we brought out BOTH of our BOSE systems. Can you imagine a wedding with $10,000 just in speakers filling the room with rich BOSE sound?

Bobby & Kristen | Lake Ashton Wedding and Reception DJ MC

Author: arnoldooffermann  //  Category: Weddings

Have I told you guys how much I love Lake Ashton? Well in case I haven’t– you’ll hear all about it again! :)

Kristen came to us wanting an elegant lighting package; she was very worried that the lights would make her reception look like a nightclub. After she saw the D’elegance lighting setup, she knew that would never be the problem. The lights were set up so discreetly, you could barely see them until they were turned on!

They chose their uplights to be solid white, to keep the contrast at a minimum and have the centerpieces pop out a little bit more.

To make a long story short, this crowd knew how to party… they danced the entire time.. even as they were walking out for the grand exit!

As usual, were did the ceremony as well for Lake Ashton. Aside from the music, we coordinated the entire thing, so Kristen and Bobby were able to enjoy their own special day.

Jesse & Megan | Lakeland DJ, MC, Entertainment for weddings

Author: arnoldooffermann  //  Category: Weddings

Kyle MCed this wedding and I let loose DJing tonight! WOW am I still pumped up! The energy was through the room from the moment we walked in those doors. It was a beautiful sunny, yet breezy day at the Hollis Gardens and Magnolia building.

I really wish we shot more video because the crowd really turned this wedding into a night club… well, nightclubs WISH they could turn into this wedding. Mixing the hottest music remixed to house/break beats, the floor wouldn’t stop moving.

I want to focus on this picture for a minute:

DJ MC Wedding Florida Hollis Gardens Magnolia Building in Lakeland

What do you notice? Look how elegant the DJ setup is. Megan and Jesse wanted the head table in front of the stage with us behind them… they were confident that our setup would be clean and discreet so their photos would not be ruined. The small-footprint lightshow is part of our new D’Elegance series and has JUST AS BIG AN IMPACT as our normal light shows. Look how elegant it sits on top of the 4″ thick BOSE speakers.

The uplighting changed colors throughout the evening and was synchronized to the music and mood.

Check out some GREAT photos taken by KC Enterprises. www.polkphoto.com. Their blog should be up soon with even more photos from one of the crunkest weddings I’ve been to. ;)

Oh yes, and a great video, too!

Zach's Mitzvah | DJ MC VIDEO LIGHTS GAMES in Tampa, FL

Author: arnoldooffermann  //  Category: mitzvahs

This was a tag-team event: Kelly MCed (though I did the first “Jeopardy” game), I DJed, and Amanda helped with the games as well as ran lighting equipment.

This event went much better than I thought it would… after all, anyone who knows me knows I dread setting up big screens outside… with wind… by the pool…but…IT WAS A BLAST! When we played the Zach Trivia game, we had a real confusing category that was a lot of fun: Things That Rhyme With Zach!

The questions were easy… such as “A device that cleans dirt/grime using suction.” But the answer HAS to rhyme with Zach… answer? Zachuum Cleaner. Great answers overall included: Zach in a Hat, Zachintosh, Quaterzach, Zachberry, etc…

This was at the Quorum Hotel in Tampa, FL… ironically enough where I performed my last Mitzvah!
