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!

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!

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.

Paul and Sarah’s High Energy Reception

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

What an amazing reception! Kelly MC’d this one while I handle DJ duties (like the last two times) and the energy was intense!

weddings  Paul and Sarahs High Energy Reception

To start things right, the location was Eaglebrooke which is always amazing. The crab-stuffed shrimp was amazing! The lakeland-based club was adorned with our uplighting, dance floor lighting, and monogram. Working with Tim Hicklin of Storybook Weddings, Kelly Day Photography, and Sassy Soiree made the night go ultra-smooth!

The music itself was very upbeat and I had a blast mixing all sorts of genres.. check out the video and photos to see what I mean!

Eaglebrooke held it’s third annual “Celebrity Night” to raise money for the American Cancer Society. With silent auctions, live auction, and a delicious meal served by the members, this was the best way to raise money for such a great cause!

Adam and Bethany– FINALLY!!!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

I still remember short lil’ Adam when he came to my skating rink dressed in spongebob Pajamas.

Now he’s much older, one of our DJs, and a client. Not necessarily in that order, haha. weddings  Adam and Bethany   FINALLY!!!

His wedding was an afternoon wedding, but you certainly can’t tell that thanks to Eaglebrooke’s roll-down curtains. With some lighting, we can make the place look like a late evening wedding/night club. With Joann doing the linens, Maggi doing the cakes, Bob Snyder for video, KC Photography for the beautiful photos, and of course A Premier Entertainment for DJ, MC, lighting, game show, and our special Dance on the Clouds feature, Adam helped create a wedding reception that took the breath from Bethany.

weddings  Adam and Bethany   FINALLY!!!

This wedding was a piece of cake for me, and professionalism almost flew out the window. weddings  Adam and Bethany   FINALLY!!! I’ve known a lot of these people for a while… Sarah and Stephanie from the skating rink (and I’m doing Stephanie and Bryan’s wedding soon), I performed at Casey and Jeff’s wedding. We saw Sally Mele, who’s daughter, Erica, used us for her wedding; (Hmm, that wedding cake looks familiar, lol). Last but not least, most everyone there was also at Bethany’s birthday bash.

The hardcore party tradition continues!

Check out the video below for the beautiful Dance on the Clouds and the real fun game show!

Alfredo and Natonia’s BEAUTIFUL wedding reception!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

Ok, now I’ve been to Eaglebrooke MANY times, (How many? Click here for an idea!) but I have to say: this is the most beautiful set up I’ve seen at Eaglebrooke.

Then again, it should be. Natonia and Alfredo, with the help of Tarra Parnell, coordinator extraordinare, chose a dream team of Lakeland/Polk County vendors. Monica and I attended to music, lighting, and MCing. Jenny of KC Photography handled some exquisite shots. Tim and Patty Hicklin of Storybook Weddings took some cutting-edge video. Flowers by Marilyn did an amazing job with the linens and drapery and made Eaglebrooke look amazing. Beth and her staff did an amazing job, as always, offering top-notch service and food… and to top off an impeccable meal, a delicious cake was provided by Andrea of Sweetcakes!

weddings  Alfredo and Natonias BEAUTIFUL wedding reception!

The food… ohh man, you know I could go on for HOURS talking about how good it was. I’ll just say this: I had the salmon. The filet was easily a foot long, smothered in butter and light lemon juices, and fell apart the moment you looked at it hard enough. Delicious is an understatement here, folks!

Not only did it look beautiful, with our colorful uplighting and “Dance on the Clouds” feature, but it was a real fun party as you’ll see the video. (Lots of Latin music, too, helps being bilingual!) Three highlights are the soul train as the wedding party dance, Tarra’s son bustin’ out some MJ moves, and Natonia’s 90 year old grandfather moving it to some Earth, Wind, and Fire.

Auctions + (Latin) Food + Dancing = AWESOME!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Corporate

I got the opportunity to entertain at another charity auction at Eaglebrooke. This was for St. Joseph’s and their theme was Havana Nights. Ohmygoodness, let me tell you how AMAZING the food was: arros con pollo (which the Tico in me made into Gallo Pinto thanks to ample amounts of onion and butter), pork, plantains del orno, and a superb tres leches to top it off.

corporate  Auctions + (Latin) Food + Dancing = AWESOME!

Sure, Tres Leches is from Nicaragua (not according to Nestle, haha)… but every Hispanic country serves it nowadays.

It was a small dancing crowd of about 15-20, but they danced all night!

Eaglebrooke’s 2nd Annual Celebrity Night to raise funds for the American Cancer Society went off without a hitch!

Amazing food, a “drag” show put on by members, tons of dancing, auctions, and lots of alcohol were the perfect ingredients for a great night!! Members donated their time to become the staff at Eaglebrooke. Together, they raised $6,200!!! CONGRATS!

Steve and Ashley's spectacular reception!!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

Steve and Ashley threw an epic wedding— how epic? Well, the party didn’t stop even after they left!! I’ve been looking forward to this wedding since Kelly and I did the wedding for Steve’s brother, Russell, and his wife, Tiffany. I knew their family and friends were here to party and my prediction wasn’t off at all. Not only did they dance throughout the entire night… but even after Steve and Ashley left for their honeymoon in Maui, the party kept going for ANOTHER HOUR!!!!

weddings  Steve and Ashley's spectacular reception!!

For me, the most memorable part will be the energy the introduction contained. Wait till you hear how LOUD everyone got when Mr. and Mrs. Villarette made their first entrance!

Check out some great photos and video below. The last photo was taken by Heather Ahrens of HA! Photography.
