I was told not to expect much dancing as Efrain and Altagracia (they call her Tita) were not big dancers. Hmm… bummer. A nice big crowd of an all Puerto Rican family and no dancing? That’s not how my events go!

Sure enough… things changed. Kyle and I were busy on both fronts. Kyle manned the SnapYourselfSilly Photobooth while I DJed an ever-growing dance floor! The monogram was boldly displayed in the front near the head table!

And Tita and Efrain? They danced ALL NIGHT!

See? Events are living, breathing things: you’ll NEVER know how they’ll wind up!

Well…. my last prom for this year was also 4SchoolsOnly’s last PromX stop as well. LPHS had a similar package as Hardee High’s Prom except that the screen filled the Chateau Elán’s LeMans ballroom from floor to ceiling. This was another smaller crowd, with numbers around 150– but that didn’t stop them from dancing.

They were a unique bunch… we had two guys that literally had a routine dance to every song I played. I lost count of how many times a circle was made around them– thank God for live video– it really made things more interactive! Their principal announce the king and queen and as I played various instrumentals for introductions, the entire room broke out chanting the lyrics!

Meanwhile in the corner, Jenny with SnapYourselfSilly Photobooths was holding down  a line eager for the photos that print in less than 15 seconds!

Adam, a longtime friend and wedding client joined us for this one. Methinks he wants to be part of the 4SO crew. Time will soon tell! Check out the photos and the now-improved (I did color correction) video below!

Hardee High School is one of my fave schools because I truly feel welcomed there– the students and teachers always call requesting me by name. As a DJ, I love that feeling! (They email me every year asking what I would like for dinner… such a wonderful gesture!!)

Being a smaller school, their prom is not one of my usual 500-700+ crowds, but rather a modest 100-150; However, these 150 students came in with only one thing in mind: PARTYING. Just like every year, they create their own decorations and always surprise me with the amazing stuff they come up with. They’re a very creative bunch!

Check out their Video Explosion BLE (Black Light Edition) complete with Glow-in-the-Dark Bubbles and lasers. Photos were done by the amazing Alex Gilliard. Not only is he an outstanding photographer, but a close friend as well!

Wow! What an amazing set of students, they were so well-behaved that even when the alarms tripped (small technical error) they behaved accordingly and didn’t cause any riots!

The overall setup looked amazing: from the beautiful Peabody Hotel (with an AMAZING staff that accommodated all our needs) to the amazing décor created by the students and teachers, to our light-up cocktail table arrangement, and ending with the amazing ShowStopper (our most popular package, of course)… but this one was the BlackLight edition. The difference?

BlackLights, duh. Add a couple more lasers and GLOW-IN-THE-DARK BUBBLES and this Alice in Wonderland theme really took off!

The best part? THE PHOTOBOOTH! Snap Yourself Silly, our sister company, brought in an awesome photobooth that delivered a top-notch experience. The photos streamed LIVE to the big screens!!

BAM! What do you get when you mix the 4SO Crew, 20′ of trussing and lighting, major amounts of sound, giant screens, glowsticks, and special shoutouts from Lil Jon, Cupid, TREAL, 69 Boyz, Ying Yang Twins, Tay Dizm, 3 6 Mafia, Diamond, B.o.B, Acafool, and many others? You get one heck of a prom! Let’s mix in over 650 kids (tickets were OVERSOLD) and the coolest administration (the vice principal danced to every song) and this prom was destined to be great!

The theme was perfect: Legends of the Orient. As you can imagine, the food was all oriental and it was delicious!!! I was told to eat all I wanted since the students weren’t eating because there were too busy dancing. Disney’s Dolphin did an amazing job with the food.

Music was REALLY interesting for this event, as you can tell by the video. At the end, I did my usual megamix where in the last 30 minutes I mix in anywhere from 40-80 songs. The biggest hits of those were (in order): Hypnotize (Biggie), Nothin but a G Thang, This is How We Do It, Party Up, Jump Around, Don’t Stop Till You Get Enough, and then Play That Funky Music… yes, disco, at a prom! Yes, the reaction was huge.. possibly the biggest all night. There would’ve been more video footage, but Derek was too busy with the lights and video camera management. Monica’s usually with me on this, but she had her own prom across the street at Disney’s Yatch and Beach Resort.

We had 7 events that night, 6 were large-scale proms– they all went smoothly and everyone rocked. Unfortunately, we were using ALL our roadies so I had no one to bring with me to film, every little bit. Even then, the video is great– YOU GOTTA SEE THIS!

I got the opportunity to entertain at another charity auction at Eaglebrooke. This was for St. Joseph’s and their theme was Havana Nights. Ohmygoodness, let me tell you how AMAZING the food was: arros con pollo (which the Tico in me made into Gallo Pinto thanks to ample amounts of onion and butter), pork, plantains del orno, and a superb tres leches to top it off.

Sure, Tres Leches is from Nicaragua (not according to Nestle, haha)… but every Hispanic country serves it nowadays.

It was a small dancing crowd of about 15-20, but they danced all night!

Oh man… this wedding was just crazy good!!!

Megan and Vince are such an outgoing couple! We shared quite a few laughs during our final consult. Megan told me her family loved to dance, and she wasn’t kidding: we had a 90 year old guest and her son who danced non-stop– including during the cocktail hour and dinner!!!

Vince is one of the most easygoing, fun grooms I’ve ever seen. He didn’t leave the floor the entire night. He introduced me to think group called Slightly Stoopid. It’s a former punk band now turned reggae group– and I loved everything I heard!

The Bok Tower was such an amazing place to work at! Rita treated me like family, even though this was our first time working together. The best part is I got to work with Terrie Lobb, who provided the most delicious food ever. She even had chocolate covered strawberries stuffed with cheese cake. It was TO DIE FOR!!!

Couple cool things… Megan decided to do the coolest photo shoot as she took over my role! Check it out!

Then we had a young man named Ashton who wanted to play Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby.” I let him cue the song up and play it as he became DJ Ashton!

Check out the photos and video below! The first set of photos are mine, and the second set, marked with ©RM, were provided by  R&M Photography. They were the ones who referred Megan and Vincent to us. Thanks!

Kyle and Kayla were a blast!!! Their ceremony and reception was at a friend’s house… and the property was BEAUTIFUL!! The ceremony overlooked a gorgeous lake surrounded by the woods. Afterwards, guests were treated to delicious strawberries fresh from the owner’s fields. The warm chocolate mousse and REAL whip cream added the perfect touch!

The reception was a blast, too! It wasn’t a huge dancing crowd, but those that danced REFUSED to leave the floor! Everything was played that night: rock, country, rap, techno– you name it!

On a personal note… the drive home wasn’t as fun… let’s just say I got my van stuck in a NASTY ditch, you’ll see the photo when you click below. Thank God my wife and I and the equipment/van didn’t get hurt!

Check out the photos and video below. Sorry for the crappy video angles… I was working solo!

Can a wedding be described as CRUNK? After Danielle and Elliot’s wedding reception, followed by Juan and Katherine’s… I do believe the answer is YES!

They wanted a Miami Club vibe to follow an elegant ceremony and upbeat cocktail hour at the Mystic Dunes. With our uplighting, dance floor floods, and custom monogram over the bar a lá 305, the theme was definetly carried through. Katherine’s elegant but chic dress paired with Juan’s Miami Vice ‘fit were the perfect touches to their perfect M-I-A day!

Musicwise, this wedding was a DJ’s dream… I didn’t play anything older than 1994  (minus a few Latin classics) for the reception. Not to mention that the ending song was Shots by Lil Jon and LMFAO!!

Check out some photos and video I took below!

I shall post the link to KC Photography’s blog up soon so you can see their photos. Tim with Storybook Weddings will do a video blog as well!

Just in case you forgot– we have an entire sector of our company that handles all A/V Productions: Rentals, set-up, engineering, etc.

AT&T Hired us to help pull together their high-energy basketball theme for their presentation to Best Buy Mobile’s managers from around the nation. AT&T’s upbeat presentation was a huge change of pace from the other carrier’s “stuffy business” presentations.

…and I got to hang out with triple NBA championship winner  John Salley.
