This Lakeland wedding at the Sorosis Building was a PARTY!!!!

Author: arnoldooffermann  //  Category: Weddings

Josh & Jennifer O’Neal had a secret they didn’t tell me: they were BIG partiers! She told me she liked to dance, but she didn’t tell me that she & Josh could kickstart a reception!

The wedding started at the Hollis Gardens in Lakeland, FL. The ceremony was highlighted by two gentleman singing. Nathan sang Kenny Chesney’s Me & You while uncle Roy sang “I Do (Cherish You).” Wow.. they’ve got a set of pipes on them!

As for the reception, the catering was amazing!! Chef Terrie Lobb (who makes exquisite edible treats) reminded me why I love this job.

Fast forward to the reception: the sound was amazing. The Sorosis Building (also known as the Junior League Center) has nothing but wood paneling on the walls. Can you imagine what that does to the already-rich sound of my BOSE system? Oh yes, sound was at a perfection. The acoustic panels guaranteed NO echo or harmful reverb.

You have to check out the video located in the break below. Jenny, with KC Enterprises Photography, did a great job with the photos as always!

The amazing BOSE sound system provided enough sound without pulling away from the beauty that is the Hollis Gardens.

Our system was cleverly hidden using plants that Jen & Josh provided. The sound was NOT affected!

Derek, my assistant, always does a great job coordinating and keeping an eye on the technical things while I focus on the music.

Don’t get me wrong– it’s never “all about the DJ” but who doesn’t like photos of cool equipment?

Josh shares some special father/son time. His son was adorable and was fascinated by the DJ equipment. I gave him one of my LED lights that we use as flashlights.

    Arnoldo,

    Excellent outcome, music, photos, videos and creating a party atmosphere at the reception. All enjoyed your creative touch.

    Terrie Lobb Catering, Bartow, Florida excellent food, highly recommended.

    Chip the bartender kept pouring and pouring.

    Special thanks to the photographer and videographer.

    Josh’s grandfather was the highlight of the reception. Man can he dance!!! He had the ladies dancing in their shoes.

    Great time and enjoyable evening!!!

    Kudos to you and your assistant,

    Bruce Jacobs
