Elliot and Danielle's amazing wedding reception at the Ritz Carlton had the BOSE sound system, dance floor lighting, dancing underneath stars and on clouds, and color-changing uplighting.]]> #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; }

There’s SO much to say about this wedding… I don’t know where to begin!!! To give you the brief description: Ritz Carlton + Magician + Italian AND Puerto Rican Families + Lamborghini + me and Monica + Colorchanging Uplighting + Dance floor lights + Dancing Underneath the Stars + Karaoke + CRUNK music = EPIC.

Yes– karaoke at a wedding reception CAN be fun and NOT distracting! This all depends on your crowd AND your entertainer!

You got all that? Elliot and Danielle made one thing clear to Monica and I: after the ceremony was over: it was our show. SWEET! They knew the focus would be on them, but they all came to party and that’s what we do best!

Let’s break it down into some highlights:

• The Ritz-Carlton staff is amazing! Lee and Jessica are class acts and are at the top of their game!
• Andy really kept the party going with his karaoke antics…!
• Hangover quotes. DURING DINNER!
• Old School quotes. ’nuff said!
• Elliot rented a Lambo — is this guy ballin’ or what?
• Danielle partied all night! She’s the best bride a DJ could ask for!
• We played Lil Jon’s “Shots.” As a DJ, I’m highly amused!
• EVERYONE sang to Jump in Di Line!
• I love Puerto Rican/Italian weddings!
• Extremely classy ambience!
• AMAZING family and friends who went out of their way to make me and Monica feel welcome– for a while I forgot I was the hired help and I felt like one of them!

Overall, this wedding was amazing– I can’t believe how much fun I had… all the way till 1AM!!!

Justin and Jessica's wedding reception in Bradenton had uplighting and dance floor lighting.. they also got married underneath the stars! Must see!!!]]> #leftcontainerBox { float:left; position: fixed; top: 60%; left: 70px; } #leftcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; clear:both; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-bottom:2px; } #bottomcontainerBox { height: 30px; width:50%; padding-top:1px; } #bottomcontainerBox .buttons { float:left; height: 30px; margin:4px 4px 4px 4px; }

Justin and Jessica Jones (I call them J³) are such a fun couple! Our final meeting started at 8PM and they didn’t leave till after midnight… we just had so much in common that even my wife pulled up a chair and joined in the conversation! Yeah, this was a good sign of things to come.

Now, I’ve had outrageous dancers at my weddings before… but this was a whole new level. There wasn’t a point in time where someone wasn’t dancing; the cocktail and dinner hours were filled with people dancing– even the cake cutting song (Lou Monte’s That’s Amore) had people dancing!

This is like a DJ’s dream come true!

The Bradenton Country Club (who has AMAZING food, by the way) was nicely decorated with our uplights, dance floor lighting, and the starfield. Jessica and Justin got married in a planetarium, a wicked-cool idea, so the starfield was an obvious choice.

Check out the photos (albeit blurry) and video below to see what all the mayhem was about!!!

The setup… with lighting shown!

Kinda hard to see thanks to me playing with the iPhone camera app, lol, but there’s the second set of lights.. elegantly set up!

You can see the stars above their heads!

Myself, Justin, Jessica and Kyle!

And the video!
