Eddie and Amber’s wedding reception — our most extravagant lighting setup for a wedding!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

Eddie and Amber saw us TWO years ago at a bridal show and said “we HAVE to have you… and the BOSE… and that sub!” They are a young, Christian, enthusiastic couple who had MANY ideas about an exciting New Year’s Eve wedding celebration with their closest friends and family.

So the challenge? The location was a church gym; A gym with a balcony that allowed some of the lighting to have a higher vantage point.

weddings  Eddie and Ambers wedding reception    our most extravagant lighting setup for a wedding!

The easy part? I worked with Joette from Party People Celebration Company and Marilyn with Flowers by Marilyn. EASY WORK! These two ladies, coupled with Monica (my lead lighting designer) and Derek (senior tech) made the gym transformation super easy. I promise you won’t even recognize that it’s a gym!

Oh yeah, and there was a WICKED COOL balloon drop!!

So what did the lighting include?

  • Well, we had 4 totems around the dance floor lit in a cool white (camera didn’t show it as cool) with a moving head on top of each one.
  • Baby blue uplights adorned the entire room, even warming up the swag and drapes that Joette set up
  • White trussing held scanners (which were used as spotlights), special requested effects lights, and dance floor floods. Trussing was lit up in wedding colors.
  • The balcony held two leikos which projected a really nice pattern on the wall. The pattern rotated super slowly!
  • The balcony also held floods which lit the entire area where the tables were placed. A couple of blacklights gave the white décor a very subtle pop. We didn’t want to saturate it.
  • Blue and green stars grazed the area between the balloon drops.
  • A blue liquid sky made a special appearance that transformed this beautiful wedding into a chic night club!

LOTS of beautiful pics and three videos… two timelapses and an event recap! What an AMAZING New Year’s Eve!!!!!!!

Oh yes, and a Snap Yourself Silly Photobooth added to the perfect ambiance!!!

Sometimes, simple looks better! Keith and Areej hosted their reception at the Winter Park Farmer’s Market (past Orlando). This is a former train station surrounded by brick, adorned sparingly but the charm is certainly visible.

They requested all white uplights and an all white light show, which blended perfetly with the venue.

Their family and guests were big partiers, dancing to everything from Top 40, club, oldies, and a large array of Arabic music, especially Dabke. Monica and I had a great time! Check out the pics and video below!

Sean and Jennifer’s Stunning Wedding Reception!

I gotta admit, this was a wicked cool wedding. Sean and Jennifer are an awesome couple who love to have fun and wanted to have a wedding celebration that reflects just that. With a very diverse playlist (Soulja Boy to Steve Earl), they were open to all ideas I had for them.

The Huntington Hills Golf & Country Club (Northside Lakeland) looked beautiful thanks to swags and drapes by Flowers by Marilyn. Our lighting décor also gave the perfect touch. Both Sean and Jennifer were awed by how beautiful the room looked!

Seminole High School’s Winter Formal

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Uncategorized

DJ Woody and the rest of the 4SO Crew ROCKED Seminole’s homecoming, and they wanted the action to keep going at their Winter Dance. We brought out a smaller version of their Showstopper package, appropriately called the Showstopper MINI, which was perfect for the 400 person crowd.

The students designed and created the décor and did a GREAT job with it. It was all accented nicely with out lighting, too! My wife, Monica (our lead tech) had a blast creating a fun lighting display that would work despite not being able to use haze at the gym.

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Schools

We performed for Winter Haven years back, but after that our availability never matched up. schools  WHHSs Homecoming   my last homecoming of the season!
We finally got a perfect sync in schedules, and just in time, too! The students expressed concern over last year’s DJ who couldn’t put the committee’s vision to reality and also help boost ticket sales.

This year, the committee worked extra hard with us and tickets surpassed expectations! The students did a great job bringing some neat décor elements to carry in the Jungle Nights theme. With out iShowstopper featuring Source 4 projections of their two favorite animals coupled with 1000 glowsticks and a 20′ video screen the night was unstoppable!

On OUR side of things, we opened up a fresh new surface for our monster-sized 20′ screen…. there is NOTHING out there like a brand new screen!
