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.

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!

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!

*Full room uplighting

See the awesome pics and video below! Thanks to Tim Hicklin from Storybook Weddings for encouraging my wife to piggyback the camera behind his so we can take advantage of his camera light!

Leeanne and Paul are an awesome couple. I love people who I can joke with and not worry so much about being a stuffy professional– I felt like I was able to relax and really have fun with this whole crowd. The whole night was amazing as we got to set up an entire nightclub at this wedding. Here’s the list of what we set up:

• 4 lit up columns around the dance floor with moving heads on them
• Blue laser
• Color-changing uplighting
• LED Floods
• Aerial effects lights
• Haze to bring it all together
• 2 Realistic Water Reflection Effects on the dance  floor.
• Game Show system customized with questions about Leeanne and Paul
• …and slide shows!

I love destination weddings– and this one had a twist. Most people celebrate their reception in Florida to go near the beaches, but Samantha and Terrance live in the best place for beautiful beaches: BAHAMAS. They wanted a change of scenery, so they chose the Lange Farms in Dade City. Now this is pretty cool, I think. The Lange Farm is a large venue, but still has a very quaint feel. It’s secluded, so there’s no traffic, and has a large outside area. Unfortunately it rained, which put the ceremony inside and cancelled the bonfire (where we were going to play Junkanoo music).

Mr. and Mrs. Kelly are so awesome that they didn’t let this detail ruin their day– they partied hard and made sure everyone, even the vendors, felt welcomed! Gino and I had a blast… check out the pics and videos to see a bit of the party and mixing. I got to jump from Reggae to Soca to Top40… it was a blast!

What a fun quince! Jeisy, with the help of her mom, Jamillet, wanted a fun Quinceañera that involved games, dancing, and a few traditions. One bad thing did happen: THE AC FAILED; yet that didn’t stop anyone from dancing and having a good time. Our game show system was brought in, customized with question about Jeisy, her friends, family and favorites. The screen was also used for a special slide show that Jamillet created.

Lighting was simple, but beyond effective. Our 4Bar light along with the UFO centerpiece really transformed the room; and I also go to test my new ADJ Hypnotic RGB light. Since the theme centered around the moon and stars, it was common sense that the bliss would be brought out!

Check out the photos and video below. The video is a must-watch because we had a lot of fun doing a soul-train!

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.

I got to play with my new American Audio headphones… these things are LOUD!

Check out the photos and video below.. trust me, this is a MUST-SEE!!!

Talk about one heck of an event… with a beautiful ceremony (despite the intense heat) and a huge party crowd, you’d think that I’d be talking about how great things were from my end? Well, they were going well until the outlet DIED (not a breaker, not my system… the OUTLET itself) in the middle of a HOT dance set!

Crissy, Neil and the guests were SO cool that they didn’t react to the issue and gave us time to run power to a new outlet and reboot the computers. Once the music began again, they resumed from where they left off!

We provided the ceremony sound, DJ/MC, dance floor lighting, ceiling wash, uplights, and monogram!

There’s no other way to say it… these two ROCK! Gary and Joyceann are the couple you instantly fall in love with. They’re the nicest, sweetest people and always down for a good time! The ceremony and reception were held at the Imperial Swan in Lakeland. They are under new management, so I’m excited to see the new changes.

The reception was a blast, too. While the guests weren’t too big into dancing, they rocked out to some great music selections from artists like Warrant, Heart, Shinedown, ACDC, and so forth. We even got to play a lil’ Steve Miller Band.

Check out the photos and the video recap!

First off, I’d like to thank Andy, who just came back from service in the Army, for his time, dedication, and sacrifice to our country.

Now… this wedding… oh goodness. Nuts, insane, bananas… these words don’t quite compile up to the insanity that went on that night. You may remember some of the guests from TK and Jessica’s wedding at the Admiral’s Inn in Winter Haven. This time, we’re at the Bok Tower Vizior Center. Currently, we are the ONLY DJs they refer, and for good reason, too! Working with A Premier Entertainment, Snap Yourself Silly Photobooths (also ours), Terry Lobb Catering, and the Bok Tower is any bride’s dream come true. This is one of my favorite dream team combos!

The music was insane… while I went in thinking there’d be a little bit of everything played, most of the music took a club ambience. Even the older guests were getting down to Get Low, Yeah, and Shake that Monkey. LOVE IT!

This was also the first wedding where I got to play Informer (Snow) & Rico Suave. Sweetness.

Check out the photos I took and video clip that Gino shot below!
