David and Nancy are an awesome couple… they love Disney (well, they also work there), watch The Office, and adore “How I Met Your Mother.” Perfect, Barney Stinson could’ve co-hosted this wedding with me. On top of it all, they’re huge Glee fans. (You know, huge isn’t the word to describe it, so I’ll begin with dedicated.) This means that on top of a great sense of humor with creativity, they’re gonna have a very eclectic music taste.
Boy, did I profile this one right. The overall party was a blast, and I had a lot of fun with the HIMYM references! With Carlisha as their coordinator, they created very unique centerpieces portraying various Disney movies.
As usual, the Paradise Cove in Kissimmee was beautiful, and a blast to work in. After the photos of the wedding, you can see some shots of the place itself. Make sure to check out the video, too!
I love this school! Last year held high expectations for this one, and they didn’t disappoint! Likewise, I’m already getting letters about how much they loved us!
We were at the Osceola Room at the Gaylord Palms in Kissimmee, FL. I can tell you now from firsthand experience that the Gaylord staff does everything imaginable not only to create a stress-free experience for their clients, but they also make sure vendors are treated well. They did EVERYTHING they could to make our experience and setup a smooth one! If you need a venue, check them out and ask for Pamela Becker; she’s the best!
So check out some photos and an AWESOME video summary showing my MC and mixing skills as well as our ShowStopper: Blacklight Edition!
TK and Jessica wanted to party and party hard. They had a big variety of tastes in music and so did their family and friends… after our last meeting prior to the wedding, I knew that Monica and I would have a blast. They did a great job planning their own wedding, as the Admiral’s Inn in Winter Haven was completely transformed; Our uplighting, flood lighting, monogram, stars, and under table lighting added the perfect final touch!
As we provided DJ and MC services for the ceremony and wedding reception, Snap Yourself Silly provided a photobooth that was used the entire time, including all the props!
Check out the photos below as well as the video summary. Though TK and Jessica left, the party continued for another hour, and several guests stayed all night… especially for a special performance of Bohemian Rhapsody from Dave and Mike.
Gino and I had a blast at this one! John and Kaley are an awesome couple who just wanted to party. They knew their guests were very diverse in musical tastes and wanted a tight mix of music that would keep everyone dancing. The room set up was very elegant (and as always, the Omni Championsgate in Kissimmee/Orlando prepared a delicious meal), and despite them not opting for any lighting– it didn’t change the mood of the night one bit! Everyone danced all night, including the people behind us!
John and Kaley left a great review on WeddingWire– thanks, guys!
Matt & Holly are an awesome couple who had one big request: NO WEDDING CHEESE. By this they meant nothing overly traditional, such as line dances, cheesy 70s and 80s songs, or horrendous music no one dances to. Easy enough! Adam and I set up a beautiful uplighting display at the Bok Tower Vizior Center. The uplighting results were a result of ideas from myself, Holly and Matt, and coordinator, Staci Mandikas of Unique Event Design.
As usual the Bok Tower’s gardens were beyond beautiful. If you have not been there, do yourself a favor and check out one of the best treasures that Central Florida has to offer. Weddings there are always unique and complimented by amazing vendors, including tonight’s catering provided by Terrie Lobb. Mmm mmm, delicious! I would also like to add that we’re the ONLY DJs in their recommended vendors list. This should come to as no surprise though.
It was a fun party and I learned something new that night: People LOVE dancing to The Proclaimer’s 500 Miles!
I was looking forward to this wedding since I met Jason and Iris! Jason is the twin brother to my former high-school teacher, Justin; and both Jason and Iris gave me the best compliment: when they saw my videos they knew that I was the right DJ for them! Call it ego, but it never gets old hearing that… it’s a GREAT feeling! Jason wanted to have a good time to a mixture of music and Iris wanted her Latin family to get down all night. With a combination this powerful, I knew this would be a blast!
The ceremony was at the Lakeland Ampitheatre, near the Hollis Gardens and the reception took place at the Hollis Gardens. While 2 Sisters Event & Designs did the coordination and flowers, Flowers by Marilyn did the Linens and chaircovers, Affordable Catering did the food, and KC Photography did the photos alongside Bob Snyder who shot video. Overall, it was a great team of vendors whom I got to work alongside with several times in the past.
Gino and I got to experience a beautiful ceremony, touching speech and toast, and a packed dancefloor all night. The 4Bar Lightshow filled the Lakeland Magnolia Building with colors! Check out some photos I snapped and video below!
I met Brittany and her mom, Wendy, through Jillian’s Sweet 16, and also learned that Brittany is a student at Cypress Creek High and whose friends go to Freedom High . With these two factors in mind, I knew that we were going to have fun at her Sweet 16!
They chose a Cinderella theme, and having it at the Holiday Inn Castle in Orlando was the fitting choice. The former Doubletree is modeled to look like a castle, inside and out. It is definetly one of the more unique ballrooms in Orlando.
Because of the relatively size of the room (11′ tall ceilings and holds about 130-150 people max), Wendy didn’t need to order a huge Sweet16 package to impress everyone and fill the room. Our Video Explosion Lite package was perfect. The 6×8 screen was a nice centerpiece to the overall set up.
A custom grand entrance video was played (apologies to Disney, haha) to introduce her after the court came in. Check out that video, some photos, and a video summary below!
Wedding afternoons can be a challenge because the broad daylight may hinder the dancing atmosphere…. but that wasn’t true for John and Diana’s family. It was a small wedding reception, held at the Leu Gardens in Orlando, but they had a great time regardless!
The reception really started off once the toasts began. John’s best man, John (there were lots of Johns at this wedding reception), put together the most creative wedding toast that had everyone, including me, rolling on the floor laughing.
I had to capture this speech…. it was priceless. Check out the audio clip below:
Several guests were from El Salvador, so they needed a Hispanic DJ (I’m from Costa Rica) that could play their Hispanic requests of Salsa, Merengue, and Cumbia Salvadoreña. I had a great time (and awesome food provided by John Michael Catering) and the Orlando-based Leu Gardens is always a beautiful place to DJ a wedding reception! Check out the photos and video clip below!
What an amazing school– they rocked the house again! I got a text from Mrs. Chacon, the sponsor who also put together their amazing homecoming dance. She wanted to create a Sadie Hawkins-style Valentine’s Dance for the school. This would be in no way the same sized crowd as homecoming, as there’d only be 100-150 students, but she wanted to create an unforgettable night!
The energy was through the roof as they danced to a lot of hip-hop/Latin mashups and lots of high energy dance and Euro numbers. The biggest request, Stereo Love, made everyone go insane!
Michele heard about us from her friends Alan and Sheri whose Lakeland Wedding I DJed a while back. They wanted a fun reception that would keep their friends and family dancing or having fun at all times– despite it being Superbowl Sunday (Packer VS Steelers).
It wasn’t too hard from my end– these people came to party and have a good time. Held at the Magnolia Building, the room layout included both the ceremony and reception. They didn’t have any lights, but that wasn’t the look that they wanted and they didn’t need it with the elegant design they chose!
Check out some amazing photos and an awesome video taken with my new HD DSLR!
