Lobb Spooktacular 2011!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Corporate

Many of you know that I believe one of the BEST perks of my job is when I get invited to eat from the food available…. so when I was asked to DJ the corporate Halloween party for Terrie Lobb Catering, you can imagine how thrilled I was, (I love their punch oh-so-much, too).

The party was held at Terrie’s backyard, which was the perfect size for the event. There was a corner set for a piƱata contest (only three casualties, myself included, haha), a corner for our Snap Yourself Silly Photobooth, another for the bar (food was in the house), and of course the dance area which also hosted our game show.

Working solo, I had to set up my iPad to control the game show system. This was the first time I ran the game show and MC’d at the same time.. it was a cinch!

Check out the pics and video below! I had a blast and I know they did, too! corporate  Lobb Spooktacular 2011!

From Boston to Florida, no one partied as hard as Danielle and Kelvin’s wedding guests!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

Hmm, another wedding where the last name was Rodriguez, and they partied just as hard. Ironically enough, this was also at the Mystic Dunes where Juan and Kathy celebrated their Miami-style reception.

Danielle and Kelvin just wanted to party.. and party hard. With family and friends from Orlando all the way to Boston, the music list went all over the place. It was pretty cool going from Boston to the Romantics to Michael Jackson. Even Bon Jovi to Lil Jon… the sets were absolutely nuts! We had a special request for Pink Floyd’s Wish You Were Here and it packed the floor– good stuff!

A couple of vendor highlights…. I got to work with Orlando Harpist extraordinare Christine MacPhail. She’s amazing at her craft and seamlessly transitions from song to song and even takes requests! She’s like a DJ! Here’s a quick sample of my favorite song that she recorded:

I also worked with photographer Kim Chau who was very easy to work with! She did a great job!

No lighting at this wedding, but it didn’t matter, they came here to party regardless! Check out the photos and videos below!

Rich & Melissa's awesome wedding reception!

Author: Arnoldo Offermann  //  Category: Weddings

Rich and Melissa Galinat had an incredible reception— Pete and I had a blast and we were honored to be part of their amazing reception!

Both their families are huge Steelers fans, so we had some fun sneaking a few fight songs in between things. Rich’s grandfather caught on quick, as he’s a big sports buff.. and he danced– even after Rich gave me a challenge and said he wouldn’t dance. I enjoyed talking to him and his wife (Rich’s grandmother, of course)….. they shared that they used to love dancing and have shared 62 years of marriage together. WOW! Can you believe that????

Once we opened up the dance floor, the kids had a blast dancing with the adults. Rich and Melissa stayed on the floor the entire time. They were so energetic, I was worn out watching them! I got to play a little bit of everything– from rock to country to rap!

I’ve attached some photos below as well as a great video!

Highlights:

  • Taps was played for Steve, the guy who caught the garter as we gave a “moment of silence” to his bachelorhood!
  • Rich did the moonwalk to Billie Jean!
  • Pete and I were invited to enjoy dinner with the family. The Lakeland Hilton Garden Inn is AMAZING and their food is spectacular!
  • 90s Alternative, Motown, 60s, and 70s & 80s rock were all played during dinner!

Karaoke DJ in Davenport, FL

Need an entertainer for your community party? Someone that can entertain people of all ages and represent your community in its chosen flavor? www.apremierentertainment.com

Providence Golf and Country club in Davenport, FL has invited us once again to entertain their Karaoke night. Sorry if I didn’t include photos or video, but there were several small children and for their safety I opt out of posting their photos.

It was a blast– and Sally and her staff are top-notch. The food was delicious, too. My favorite was the mushroom and steak bites. These combined three great things: mushrooms and steak in a bite-sized form. MMM mmmm MMMM!!

For you gear junkies, I posted some cool pics of my new setup. I am using an ADJ mixer (which isn’t all too bad, just lacks some crucial features) as a placeholder until my Denon arrives (thank YOU, Nathan!). The smaller footprint of the new mixer (Denon is the same size) allows my screen to stay halfway in, making my setup a bit more elegant.

I passed out a few cards and even had a quick sit-down with a couple (after the evening was over) to discuss their wedding! other parties  Karaoke DJ in Davenport, FL
