Schools
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!

There’s SO much to say about this wedding… I don’t know where to begin!!! To give you the brief description: Ritz Carlton + Magician + Italian AND Puerto Rican Families + Lamborghini + me and Monica + Colorchanging Uplighting + Dance floor lights + Dancing Underneath the Stars + Karaoke + CRUNK music = EPIC.
Yes– karaoke at a wedding reception CAN be fun and NOT distracting! This all depends on your crowd AND your entertainer!
You got all that? Elliot and Danielle made one thing clear to Monica and I: after the ceremony was over: it was our show. SWEET! They knew the focus would be on them, but they all came to party and that’s what we do best!
Let’s break it down into some highlights:
- The Ritz-Carlton staff is amazing! Lee and Jessica are class acts and are at the top of their game!
- Andy really kept the party going with his karaoke antics…!
- Hangover quotes. DURING DINNER!
- Old School quotes. ’nuff said!
- Elliot rented a Lambo — is this guy ballin’ or what?
- Danielle partied all night! She’s the best bride a DJ could ask for!
- We played Lil Jon’s “Shots.” As a DJ, I’m highly amused!
- EVERYONE sang to Jump in Di Line!
- I love Puerto Rican/Italian weddings!
- Extremely classy ambience!
- AMAZING family and friends who went out of their way to make me and Monica feel welcome– for a while I forgot I was the hired help and I felt like one of them!
Overall, this wedding was amazing– I can’t believe how much fun I had… all the way till 1AM!!!

Wow! Ceremonies couldn’t turn out more beautiful than today! Not a single cloud in the sky… the beach was PERFECT, sun was warm and well, sunny… and it was only 70*!!!! WOW! I love it!
Everything was beautiful outside. Tom & Julie chose Jimmy Buffet’s Brown Eyed Girl to start off the processional.. what a perfect way to complement the beautiful scenery at St. Petersburg beach!
The reception was held in the B-E-A-utiful Tradewinds Hotel (where the food was amazing!) right in front of the beach. Tom and Julie opted for our popular Entertainment Coordinator package and chose under-table lighting as well as the Starfield.
Halfway into the dancing, Tom had made the comment that he would go back and get some dance floor lighting because the house lights were either too bright or too dark (the Staff was very accommodating though and great to work with)… so we took two of our backup uplights and aimed at the ceiling.
See, our uplights are LED-based, so we put them on music-trigger and the entire ceiling was glowing to the beat of the music. Since the ceiling is white, the lights reflected onto the dance floor. IT WORKED!
I worked with a GREAT photographer, Greg Spivey. Check out his website here http://www.amasterimage.com/
And the coordinator, Meghan Campbell, did a great job working with everyone and keeping us in check! http://www.dreamdayproductions.com you can also read her blog here: http://www.dreamdayproductions.blogspot.com/
Greg will be emailing me some photos, so I will post those up.. until then, enjoy iPhone-pics and some video footage as well!
