Nick & Tammy's Elegant Reception

Author: arnoldooffermann  //  Category: Weddings

Immediately following Collin & Jerrika’s amazing reception from the day before, Nick & Tammy’s wedding was not only just as fun, but officially marked the end of my “BEST WEDDINGS EVER” month!

First off, Tammy gave me a list of her favorite artists and songs, covering the greats such as Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Billie Holiday, and even Ella Fitzgerald. This made an incredible cocktail hour list that defined her vision for her wedding: elegance, class, style, but fun.

As she danced with her father and Nick danced with his mom, they created special slideshows for them to be shown on our large LCDs hung elegantly with white trussing. I have to mention that to my knowledge we’re the only DJs in this area that offer REAL white trussing…Much more elegant than a large aluminum structure hanging in the middle of your reception room!

Mr. and Mrs. Edds created slideshows for their first dance as well as a few special surprises.

Monica and I had a special treat working with a wedding coordinator team who recently took on a new team member… Jessica Santiago is not only a family member on our church, but I also did her wedding (as well asĀ Erica and Matt, who are related to her).

For the dance, 80s music really hit the sweet spot, as well as a large Michael Jackson Megamix. (RIP to the KING OF POP!)

And I must say…. the Lakeland Yatch Club is not only a beautiful room with an amazing staff (Thanks, Bill!) but their food is top notch. I enjoyed my Chicken Cordon Bleu (thanks for inviting us, Tammy & Nick!).

Andrea, president of Sweetcakes, managed to amaze us once again! You may recall from Jonah and Haley Brock’s wedding reception that she made a groom’s cake shaped like a deer’s head. This cake was incredibly realistic. This time, the groom’s cake was a dinosaur… you MUST see this. Andrea is truly the queen of cake design!

One last thing: a big thanks to Nick, who serves in the Air Force, for serving our country and keeping our freedoms… well, free. Your efforts always go appreciated and we keep you and your fellow men & women in our prayers!

Eric & Robyn's Upbeat Wedding Reception!

Author: arnoldooffermann  //  Category: Weddings

Eric and Robyn are a lot of fun! Though their wedding was in the afternoon, with the Florida sun shining bright, it didn’t stop them from dancing!

Good thing, too…. we need to continue my “BEST WEDDINGS EVER” Month!

You have to see the videos to believe how many people danced in the middle of the afternoon. The location, colors, setting, and everything was perfect and seemed to really fit their personalities!

First, the location was the beautiful Huntington Hills in Lakeland, Florida. Denise is one heckuva Chef, and her staff is always prompt, effective, and smiling! The big windows allow plenty of sunlight to come in, but their effective AC system keeps the place comfortable. It’s amazing how many weddings one has to do in a Florida Summer before you really appreciate air conditioning. :)

The colors were chocolate and apple green elegantly splashed throughout the whole room.

And of course, Maggie made the cake. It was delicious– you’re darn right I had some. Yum!

Lots of unique things were done, and I want to share a couple:

  • Father Daughter Dance: The Hokey Pokey — the ultimate in cheese became something fun and special for Robyn and her father Bud
  • Families were encouraged to bring in their own homemade cookies for a “cookie buffet.” It was very unique and delicious! Any wedding with Snickerdoodles, Chocolate Chip, and Oatmeal is a good wedding!
  • Instead of a guestbook, there were cards to be filled out. Guests were able to fill out their best wishes in these cards, seal them up, and place them in the bowl.
  • This wedding was another example of using colors wisely. Their wedding colors matched Huntington Hill’s signature colors perfectly!

Package chosen: Premier, upgraded to Entertainment Coordinator compliments of us. ;)
