Oviedo wanted an out of this world homecoming… and that’s why their theme was Space. The students expressed a lot of complaints on last year’s music and they really wanted to focus on an amazing set of DJs to complement a big light and video show. Well, with DJ Chevy outside (300+ people dancing in 35º weather) and DJCraziAce (yay me!) on the inside, coupled with a giant 14′ video screen, the biggest light show Seminole County has seen, glow in the dark bubbles, and concert-grade lasers… I think it’s safe to say that the goal was achieved. Not to mention that three BlissLights flooded the ENTIRE gym ceiling and walls with stars.

While DJ Chevy held it up outside, Monica and Derek ran the lighting and Bob created an amazing array of laser shows using two areal lasers and one graphics laser on the screen. Nate brought our Snap Yourself Silly photobooth which was a popular hit!

WHAT ELSE DO YOU NEED?!?!?

The ARC foundation caters to adults with mental disabilities.

I love doing parties for these kinds of organizations.. they’re the nicest people and dance to EVERYTHING you play. Lots of high-energy songs were played, and about 1-2 minutes of each to keep their interest piqued. Along with an amazing sound system, we also brought uplights to complement their fall theme, projected their logo onto the wall (We use REAL Source-4 projectors and not LEDs), and also provided a Snap Yourself Silly Photobooth.

Check out the amazing photos and video below! Christina and I had such a blast!

Dances can’t be much tougher to beat. Not only did they exceed their “we hope we can sell this many” ticket count by 500 (1200+ total!), but the energy was BEYOND intense. Lots of fistpumping, and sing alongs. Yes, these students sang along to every song!

So what did we provide:

Infamous Original Showstopper:

2 Big Screens
Lots of lighting
Live Video
Insanely loud system

And how did we create the theme?

500 Red Glowsticks
500 Blue Glowsticks
Leiko projections of fire and ice on either wall
Red and blue uplighting
Custom ambients
Lobby had a “tunnel” made of two screens with Fire and Ice on it
Lobby had Fire and Ice effects on the floor
Lobby was flooded with red and blue washes

I was told this school had a parent DJ beforehand. Looks like this year they ROCKED WITH THE BEST!

They’re always a fun crowd who love to chill, and dance, after a long day of conferences.

I can’t believe it’s been 5 years already. Check out the photos and video below!

I don’t think the Royal Plaza in Orlando knew what their venue could be REALLY transformed to…. heck, I didn’t even know. With my amazing team (Monica, Derek and Charles), we created an out of this world experience for Cypress Creek High!

What did they get? Amazing lights around the entire dance floor, black lights, glow in the dark bubbles, stars on the ceiling, clouds during the King & Queen dance, spandex pulls, a photo booth, video screen with live video and ambients to complement the music videos, uplights, color-changing tables…. annndd, get ready for it: The most powerful lasers available for school dances. (Update: We’ll be offering an even bigger pair in blue for multiple colors!)

The students were amazing and the energy level was beyond anything I could’ve imagined. Check out the photos and video below!!!

(The video is very shaky… apologies ahead of time, but there was so much energy that everyone, including my crew, were jumping!)

What an amazing couple… and they created the ultimate destination wedding! With her family hailing from the UK, his family from China, and guests from all over the world, Lindsay and Jayson were having a true United Nations wedding! That being said, lots of international music was requested. Black Eyed Peas, Amy Winehouse (yes, she has danceable tracks), David Guetta, Akon, Pnk, the Beatles, and many others were played/remixed live/thrown in as party breaks/etc!

No formalities except a cake cutting and first dance… this was 6 hours of pure party!

Sounds exhausting? Not really… thanks to the amazing Orlando Wedding Team, headlined by Allison, Francesca, and Laura. They were great to work with. As for food… the Lake Nona Country Club has to be the best in the area; Lobster Ravioli, cheese ravioli, sushi, and Asian-spiced prime rib filled me up and left me craving more by the day’s end.

JR Sterling and Perfect Sky Productions shot photos and video… and these guys are a blast to work with! I’ll be sure to post a link to their blogs!

So yes, check out the photos and HD video (thank you, iPhone 4) below.

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!

Despite a small crowd (120, to be exact) this was an amazing prom!!! The students were very well-behaved and we did new some interaction. The smaller crowd allowed a little more customization and one-on-one interaction between everyone. Monica, Brandon and I had a BLAST!

Their theme was based on stars so we used two Laser machines to project stars on the ceiling as well as glass GOBOs to create a twinkling star effect. Uplighting and LED floods really made this over-the-top.

The shop class created all the decorations and they did a FANTASTIC JOB!!!

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!
