LIbby & Jess were a pleasure to work with and I enjoyed every bit of it– despite the rain! 
Even though it dumped all over the equipment for the ceremony, it still worked (thank God!) for the entire evening. We had a large setup in a tent with over 200 people.. so we had to make good use of the room we had! These people were here to PARTY… The entire celebration lasted over 8 hours!
Lights Transformed their Tent
Here’s some highlights:
* We did a Jeopardy-style game show.
* White trussing lit up to match the wedding colors
* BOSE Sound System
* Uplights
* Live Video Camera
* Starfield!
Libby & Jess wanted this to be a casual-style wedding, and requested I don’t wear slacks or a tie. So I came in dress jeans and a coat jacket. During the game show, I got to put on my “Gameshow Host Jacket.” Absolute cheese, but everyone loved it!
So check out the pics by clicking below! The first 9 are from a Alex Gilliard, an amazing photographer! Check him out at AlexGilliard.com
The rest of the pics were taken on my iPhone… and of course a video!
Gotta love it when someone answers a question 1/2 right and “judges” have to make a call. There’s my assistant, Derek.
“I’ll take ‘Before the Wedding’ for $300″
Got it right!
“She Cheated!”
An amazing shot from Alex. The lighting REALLY transformed the tent!
Teaching line dances… with a stupid look on Derek and my faces. We were still waiting for the cold front to come in. It was around 80*+ in there.
Everyone was singing along… Derek had to open a crack on the tent to let some cool air in.
Someone requested Tom Jones’s “Not Unusual”
Here’s the place on the way in… 2000+ acres. We saw deer on the way back!
No, the house isn’t tilted.. just a windshield refracting side effect.
Uplights, LED floods, video screen (only place we could put it) and the starfield!
This cute lil’ guy was chasing the lights the entire time. We had fun controlling them as he chased them around the room.
Dance!!
Ok.. the last two pics need some explanation. We were way out in the beautiful country in Hardee County. They rented porta-potties as the rest rooms. These always amuse me because people write clever (sometimes) sayings on the walls. Whoever rented this before wins hands down. Check out the writing next to the urinal.
“This way to Mexico”
I’m not sure why, but that’s the funniest thing ever!!!
And now, video!

The porta potty writing was awesome! You definitely have talent. I posted a link to you in my resources section on my blog. I enjoyed working with you, hope to do so again in the future.
Later

Arnoldo, you and Derek did a fantastic job (in spite of the rain)! the lighting, music and your ability to entertain made Jess & Libby’s reception the dream that you promised. We did warn you that it would be a PARTY didn’t we?Everyone had a great time and I can’t thank you guys enough.
