…and everyone sang along! Irene and George’s MIND-BLASTING reception!
Author: Arnoldo Offermann // Category: Weddings…. Florida is very hot. Enough said. It must’ve been about 100º in the middle of the night with all the dancing.
Did it stop anyone? Nope. They only danced faster, harder, and sang a LOT louder! This is by far the most high-energy wedding I’ve ever done. Scratch that, make it the most high-energy event you could imagine!! I have a few schools that I’m going to have to tell to step their game up in terms of energy!
Then again, Derek and I knew this was wedding was going to end in epic proportions (the last song was Peanut Butter Jelly Time). Irene is Greek and George is Mexican…. you heard right, two amazing families who are KNOWN for being in a culture that throws parties often shut down by authorities.
I’ve done Greek weddings. I’ve done Mexican weddings. They’re always loud, proud and lots of fun! I even did another Mexican/Greek wedding that required me to get 18 hours of sleep the next day in order to recoup. However NOTHING, and I mean NOTHING, could have prepared me for this night… there was just SO MUCH ENERGY!
Located at the beautiful Bilmar Beach Resort, where Justin and Megan had a very similar-paced reception, music was flying in and out of cue. How fast-paced where we? 18 songs in 15 minutes… the second video shows you this megamix. This wasn’t a rarity, this was ALL NIGHT with the exception of Greek music which should never be mixed. Leave culturally-revelant traditions alone, I always say!
Check out the amazing photos, then videos below!! MUST WATCH!
Treasure Island (or is it St. Pete Beach?) will never be the same again!

Thanks again Arnoldo, we all had such a blast! Even my aunt and uncle in their 70′s were up dancing 1/2 the night! It was such a great mix of music, you had us all up smiling, singing at the top of our lungs, moving and shaking all night! So much fun!! Thank you also for the wonderful, bright photos and all the great videos! You guys are the best!
