Wow— what an amazing reception– I’m still pumped up!

I’ll be honest, the day started in my least favorite form: a 115º heat index. Really, Florida… REALLY??? Kelly and I set up our awesome BOSE sound system along with our D’Elegance lighting and Starfield at the Bilmar Beach Resort in Treasure Island, Florida. While setting up, Kelly and I had a debate on whether Treasure Island is an actual city or a suburb of St. Pete… hmmm…

As we wired our setup to their TV system for the slideshows and music videos, the weather cooled down just in time for the ceremony… beautifully laid out by the beach.

While Kelly supervised the ceremony, I created an image in Photoshop to be shown on the screens as they walked in. It was their monogram laid out as “clouds” on the beach sky. A couple of guests were so impressed they even asked “when did the skywriter come in?”

Along starts the reception and the venue laid out sushi. Truth be told, it was the most delicious sushi I’ve ever had.  Kelly did the MCing and I did the DJing and lights… we’re a good team, this was a DOUBLE Entertainment Coordinator, lol.

The dancing started out like any typical Arnoldo/Kelly wedding (which is usually amazing).. but progressed into something even more….well… amazinger! We got requests for lots of gangsta rap (Snoop Dogg, Dre, 2Pac’s California Love), Old School (This is How We Do It, Jump Jump, Bust a Move), 80s Pop (I Wear my Sunglasss at Night, Walk the Dinosaur) and my personal favorite: FREESTYLE! I felt like I was working at the skating rink again (our good friend Tony would have a chuckle as he always made a joke about us being nothing but skating rink DJs, hahahaha).

You have to watch the video and look at the awesome photos that Kelly took. I must say, I am impressed.

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!!!!!

This continues my “Best Wedding Receptions Ever!” month and I can’t wait for the next two.

When Greg & Melinda first met with me at our initial sales consult, I knew right away this would be an amazing wedding! She’s Puerto Rican whose family hails from Brooklyn, and Greg’s Jamaican, representin’ Queens. We kept in contact a lot recently through Facebook and I got to learn a lot about them… which helped me create some very exciting and unique introductions for them.

Fast forward to May 16th, Amanda and I are setting up at the beautiful Radisson Resort in Celebration (Kissimee), Florida. The monogram (which was designed by Melinda’s niece) looked beautiful on the dance floor. The draping white swags were glowing with color thanks to our LED floods perched gracefully on top of our BOSE sound system.

Outside, the sun finally hid and the rains stopped to create a slightly breezy, yet warm, warm atmosphere by the gazebo for their ceremony.

Watch the video for some cool clips. I’ve also attached some photos from my iPhone.

Some quick highlights:

• First dance, God Bless the Broken Road, was sung live by close friends. They were amazing!!!
• VERY custom introductions featuring a song for each couple!
• One of a kind monogram designed by family!
• Rumcake!!

Package chosen:

• Entertainment Coordinator
• Ceremony System
• D’Elegance Lighting: Floods Only

When this school decided to do the very first dance in their gym instead of a hotel, they wanted to do something special… so they used their favorite DJs from Orlando *ahem ahem* and created an amazing Valentine’s Day dance featuring Orlando Superstar group, TREAL.

What NO ONE expected was that Cupid was going to make a surprise appearance. But that’s what happens when you’re rockin’ with the best.

You already know how much we can rock school dances, so we’ll just talk about the concert.

3AM opened up for TREAL, and the ladies LOVED them! Their choreography was phenomenal and they really had a great stage presence. They set the right tone for TREAL to come out to! They opened their first set with songs about the special ladies in the fella’s lives. I could see teachers dancing in their position as the students sang along with the group.

The second set consisted of extremely hyped up songs– no grinding here, that’s for sure! TREAL’s a clean, all-ages group who puts out school approved shows that will get even the pickiest student jumping. They have the most unique stage presence I’ve seen– as much as I love rap, I’m not a fan of rap concerts but I’d line up to see TREAL any day!

Then the lights flash quickly as they jump to their smash hit, Not Locked Down. The lights shut off for a second and when they reappeared Cupid was on stage as they all performed the live remixed song! The students couldn’t believe their eyes!

Be ready to be amazed brides, schools, and everyone else who’s reading.

Imagine your first dance beginning as the lights dim… a field of stars span across the entire ceiling… as you and your husband share your first dance you feel the cool whisk of clouds stream across your feet.

Pretty, huh?

Not just for weddings… how about your prom?

I’ll post more in this soon, meanwhile… why not check out the official test of our “Cloud Machine.”

This was a fun wedding… Started at 4:00 and went full speed until 8:00. She was Italian and he was American, so we had some fun mixing different cultures. This was another wedding where everyone had the focus on the bride & groom.

Justin and Maria are wonderful people and their energy is infectious. There’s about 30 pics here, so it might taken a minute to load.

The wedding was at the Crowne Hotel in Tampa, Florida. The staff was great to work with and the hotel itself is gorgeous.

This gig report will be somewhat unique because I am including some odd behind the scenes shots.

Keep in mind, all photos are taken with my trusty iPhone. So yeah.

Great wedding! He’s Greek, she’s Mexican and they needed a careful balance of traditions.

We started with some Carpathian music and started the lead dances as well as family traditions… We had fun and they danced the entire night! We had fun with Cumbias, Huapangos, Tejano, etc!

Congratulations to Keith and Lori Mixon! They were married at the beautiful Eaglebrooke Country Club in Lakeland, Florida! The weather was beautiful and nothing could be more perfect!
The family was lovely, everytime I introduced an event all eyes were on whatever I spoke about. During the first dance, there were no side conversations, no wondering eyes, just the bride and groom.

This one had real custom intros… each couple coming in had a 15 second story and the bride and groom entered right after a 1 minute love story. There wasn’t a dry eye, even our photographer told me she cried.

Lo and behold– people danced! It wasn’t a huge crowd dancing… they came in sets.

What I love about this wedding is that each photo really captured some great expressions from the guests, you can see the love and excitement in their eyes!
