Congratulations Eugene and Jessica

This Wedding Reception featured the colors of dark coral and sapphire blue and it was so pretty.  The tables had ivory floor-length cloths with satin coral-colored toppers.  The ivory satin chair covers had sapphire satin ties.  Each table was topped with a tall vase with blue hydrangeas and ivory roses.  The flowers perfectly matched the bouquets and cake topper of blue hydrangeas and ivory roses.

After the First Dance, a delicious dinner and the toasts, we moved on to the cake cutting.  Jessica’s elegant white three-tiered cake featured different white designs on each layer and was topped with blue hydrangeas.  Eugene’s chocolate cake had a large Texas-shaped state of Texas flag on top.  The parent’s dances came next and then it was party time.  

We stopped for the Bouquet and Garter and went right back to the dancing.  After Jessica changed into her going away dress, everyone enjoyed the Last Dance.  The Newlyweds ran through a shower of bubbles and walked across the street to a rented Victorian home for their wedding night.  Congratulations Eugene and Jessica!

Congratulations David and Morgan

This beautiful wedding Reception had a vintage feel from the beginning to the end.  The guests arrived to cocktails and appetizers while enjoying lawn games including corn hole and hula hooping.  There were Adirondack chairs for relaxing while we played music.   Halfway through cocktails, Morgan and David made a dramatic entrance on a vintage fire truck.  David is a fire fighter, so it was perfect!   Soon after, the guests made their way into the ballroom for the Reception.

The tables had floor length ivory cloths topped with plum satin toppers and the chairs were fitted with ivory satin covers and plum satin ties.  The high/low centerpieces alternated between high silver candelabra and shorter arrangements of blue hydrangea and ivory roses.  Each place setting had a gold charger, ivory napkin and candy tied in a plum colored favor bag.  We had 8 amber Uplights around the room which gave it a vintage golden glow.  To top it off, we had a GOBO monogram of Morgan and David’s names and wedding date surrounded by a floral pattern projected onto the dance floor.

After David and Morgan made their formal entrance into the ballroom they went right into their First Dance.  They had put on vintage hats before their entrance and wore them throughout the evening.  Morgan’s had put a cage veil onto a white hat that was her Grandmothers and David wore a vintage black fedora.  Their Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances followed.  After an amazing dinner, we moved onto the toast and cake cutting.  Morgan’s cake was so cool: it was a traditional Norwegian wedding cake, which consists of round almond type cookies drizzled in chocolate stacked up to form a cone.  There were 7 of them, all on vintage cake plates.  David’s Groom’s cake was carrot cake with cream cheese frosting.  Yum!

Once the dance floor opened, it was fun until the end.  This crowd was ready to have a great time and they did!  The Bouquet and Garter came later, then dancing continued some more.  As a special treat, the guests were served ham, biscuits and bread pudding for a late night snack before driving home.  The night came to a close when Morgan and David ran through their guests and climbed into an antique limousine.  Congratulations David and Morgan!

Congratulations Kenneth and Connie

 

This Ceremony and Reception featured the colors of black, white and red, which were perfect for the 50’s feel. We had two red Uplights accenting the Ceremony, which were a great accent. The Bridal Party wore black and red with the Bridesmaids looking fantastic in their 50’s style black polka dot dresses with red sashes.

Following the Ceremony, the guests moved over to the Reception. The toasts followed dinner with the guests enjoying champagne in red glasses. The cake cutting came next. Connie’s cake had three white, square, stacked tiers with black accents and it matched the day perfectly. Kenneth’s cake was funny: it was a skull with red flowers for eyes. I asked him what it represented, and he said, “I like skulls.” LOL Kenneth and Connie also did something unique during the Reception called a Wine Box Ceremony. There was a bottle of wine in the box and the Newlyweds added the toasting glasses they used for their toast. They also wrote a love letter to each other which was locked in the box. They will open it on their first anniversary, share the wine and read the letters.

With no Bouquet or Garter, the guests got to dance, chat and visit with each other until the end of the evening. Connie and Kenneth ran through sparklers and got into a 1930 fully restored Ford Model A. It was gorgeous and a wonderful way to end the night! Congratulations Kenneth and Connie!

Congratulations Spencer and Christine

This elegant Ceremony and fun Reception featured the colors of black, white, ivory and green, which were perfect for the venue.  The rain stopped just in time to dry the area for the outdoor Ceremony and then it started up again right afterwards.  Perfect timing!  The guests then came inside for the Reception.  The tables had ivory tablecloths and napkins while the chairs matched with ivory satin covers.  The centerpieces featured flowers in ivory, white and green and were low arrangements or arrangements on tall vases.

Christine and Spencer entered the Reception and immediately had their First Dance.  Dinner came next, and guests enjoyed filling out cards that were at each place setting, asking for Advice for the Newlyweds.  The Toast and Cake Cutting followed.  The delicious vanilla cake had four round stacked tiers, each accented with vertical fondant stripes in the same color.  It was topped by fresh flowers and a topper that said “Mr.  & Mrs.”   The Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances came next, and then it was dance time.  These guests enjoyed a good mix of fun music including line dances, and danced until the Bouquet and Garter.  Once the Last Dance was over, the Newlyweds ran under a shower of eco-confetti and drove off to their new life together.  Congratulations Spencer and Christine!

Congratulations James and Casey

This was a beautiful wedding featuring the color of blue with ivory accents.  The ballroom had two risers on either side, to elevate seating for the Wedding Party and the family of Casey and James.  The room was filled with an assortment of square or rectangular wood tables, some left bare, some with elegant taupe cloths. The seating consisted of five different styles of chairs:  Chiavari chairs with blue or ivory satin sashes, love seats, high back padded chairs, lower padded chairs and cane backed chairs.  They all complemented each other perfectly.  The centerpieces consisted of tall candelabras or even taller, lush arrangements of flowers accented with candles, with more candles around the tables.  Each place setting had a charger and the menu, and each table number told a story of one of James and Casey’s dates.  The whole room was absolutely gorgeous!

The guests enjoyed a cocktail hour with a live Jazz band and then moved into the ballroom, where the couple shared their First Dance on their custom dance floor featuring their names and wedding logo.  Jazz continued through dinner and was followed by the cake cutting and toasts.  The cakes were amazing!  Casey’s white cake had five tiers with blue accents.  It was sitting on a table covered with beautiful cascading flowers and in front of a backdrop of more beautiful ivory and blue flowers.  James cool cake was a football field with a football on tap featuring their last name.  The toasts came next and then it was party time!

Every once in a while I’ll say that this crowd was fantastic and packed the dance floor from the first song to the last, and when I say it, I mean it.  Well, this was another one of those crowds.  They were so fun!!!  Oldies, 80’s, Pop, Interactive songs, Country, Slow, you name it, they danced.  They were great!  They danced so much they flowed over the dance floor!

The Bouquet and Garter came later and then we went back to the dancing until the end.   For favors, the guests received chocolates in the shape of the state of Texas.  They also enjoyed the photo booth, a bananas foster station, and a cappuccino station.  The whole wedding day was just wonderful! When the night came to a close with the Aggie War Hymn, the guests showered the Newlyweds with rose petals as they made their exit.  Congratulations James and Casey!

Congratulations Blake and Hilary

With colors of fuchsia and white with green accents, this Reception was as beautiful as it was elegant.  The tables had floor length white cloths with three alternating centerpieces consisting of candles and flowers. The chairs had white covers with fuchsia ties.  We had fuchsia Uplights around the perimeter of the room to give it all a beautiful pink glow.

After the cocktail hour wrapped up, Blake, Hilary and the Wedding Party entered in wearing blinking glasses, which set a fun mood for the night.  Following dinner, we moved on to the cake cutting.  Hilary’s 4 tiered stacked white cake had elegant white designs on each tier and was accented with colorful flowers.  I loved the wedding bells cake topper, which belonged to Hilary’s parents and had special meaning.  Blake’s cake was amazing.  It had a large house sitting on land and it represented “a house divided”, meaning Texas A&M and UT.  Half of the house was maroon and half was burnt orange.  The road signs represented the where the couple came from, went to school and where they will live once married.  It was awesome!

Outside of the blinking glasses, which were given to all the guests, there was a large candy buffet with candy in shades or white, fuchsia and green.  It was a big hit!  There was a photo booth for fun as well.  There were favors on each table consisting of glass coasters with Hilary and Blake’s photo in them and decorated magnets holding a thank you note.

Once the dance floor opened there was fun and dancing until the very end.  We paused for the Bouquet and Garter but quickly returned to the dancing.  The guests had a great time doing the Cha Cha Slide, The Cupid Shuffle and even The Conga when it spontaneously broke out.  At one point, Hilary’s college sorority sisters gathered around her and sang their sorority song.  After a great night of laughter and fun, Blake and Hilary ran through bubbles and took off as a newly married couple.  Congratulations Blake and Hilary!

Congratulations Kevin and Doris

This Ceremony and Reception were absolutely wonderful!  Due to the smaller size, Doris and Kevin were able to spend time with each and every guest, which is always a nice way to enjoy your wedding.  Their colors were white and ivory with soft pink accents.  Doris did most of the decorating herself and she did a fabulous job!  The tables had floor length ivory cloths with sheer runners embroidered with a pink design and a featuring a wide pink satin edge.  The chair toppers were sheer organza tied with a bow and accented with pink flowers, and Doris made them herself.  The centerpieces consisted of vases in wrought iron stands, filled with pink and white flowers, surrounded by pink candles.  Each place setting had a small note pad favor, a box of Jordan almonds and a picture frame holder that had the Newlywed’s photo in it.  The Ceremony was equally pretty, as it took place in front of a gorgeous wrought iron stand filled with candles, between two tall floral arrangements of white and pink flowers.

After the delicious dinner and a toast by Kevin’s son, the Newlyweds cut their wedding cake.  Doris’ chocolate cake had three white tiers on separate stands, each topped with fresh flowers.  Kevin’s cake was awesome!  It had a fire fighter theme with red flames running up the sides, and a fondant mustachioed fire fighter complete with fire hydrant on top.  Later, a small cake was presented to Doris’ parents in recognition of their 57^th Wedding Anniversary.  It had a beautiful fondant topper of two love birds, and behind the cake was a frame holding their original wedding invitation. That was so neat!  Doris’ sister made both the cake toppers and she is incredibly talented.

There was no dancing at this Reception, so everyone had time to spend together, talking and laughing and having a great time.  When the afternoon came to an end, Kevin and Doris bid farewell to their guests and saw them off.  Congratulations Kevin and Doris!

Congratulations Gabe and Lauren

This was a big, beautiful, elegant Reception!  With so many guests in attendance (over 300) we knew it was going to be fun.  But, with the ivory, champagne and coral color scheme, it was equally as elegant.  The tables had ivory floor-length cloths with taupe ribbon taffeta overlays.  The chairs had ivory covers with taupe satin ties.  The centerpieces consisted of three matching styles: tall candelabras, tall vases with flowers or short vases with flowers.  All the flowers were white and coral with purple accents.

After Gabe and Lauren arrived and had their First Dance, the Mother/Son and Father/Daughter dances followed.  Then the guests enjoyed a delicious meal before the cake cutting.  Lauren’s elegant cake had four round stacked white tiers, with a cascade of beautiful orange and purple flowers down the front.  Gabe’s chocolate cake had the LSU emblem on it in white, purple and gold. 

After the cake cutting it was party time.  This group wanted to party, and they did!  A big shout out goes to Gabe, who did a hand stand on the dance floor, and Lauren, who's also got the moves.  She even did the splits on the dance floor!  We also saw the Worm, the Robot, Gangnam Style, and every other dance move you could imagine. What a blast!  Glow sticks being passed out to the dancers also helped keep the party going strong.

The dance floor was full until we stopped for the Bouquet and Garter, and then everyone kept dancing until the end.  The Newlyweds ran though a shower of rose petals, got into a gorgeous antique Rolls Royce and left to their new life together.  Congratulations Gabe and Lauren!

Congratulations Matt and Liz

What a perfectly wonderful wedding day! We had the privilege of providing not only the DJ services and Uplighting, but the Wedding Planning as well. This wedding featured the elegant color combination of black, white and champagne and it was beautifully carried out. The tables had champagne/taupe tablecloths, alternating between a damask print and ivory satin, and each place setting had taupe napkins. The chiavari chairs had taupe satin ties to match. The gorgeous centerpieces consisted of vases with white and green flowers, which the Newlyweds generously allowed us to take to a local nursing home after the day ended. We had amber Uplights lining the walls of the room to tie it all together and give the ballroom an amber glow.

After the Ceremony, in which Liz dramatically entered down a grand staircase, the guests moved into the Reception to enjoy appetizers before the dinner. After the First Dance and a wonderful meal, we moved onto the toast and cake cutting. Liz’s elegant cake had three round stacked tiers, each accented with taupe designs. Matt’s fun chocolate cake had the University of Michigan logo.

The group danced and had a great time until stopping for the bouquet toss. Then, the fun continued until the night came to a close and Liz and Matt shared their last dance together. Congratulations Matt and Liz!

This large wedding was so pretty and so much fun! The colors were navy, blush pink and purple, which were reflected in the flowers and Wedding Party attire. The tables had white cloths with three styles of centerpieces, from low vases with floating candles surrounded by flowers, to taller vases with submerged flowers to tall vases holding tall branches with hanging votive candles. The chairs had white covers with navy sashes.

Alyssa’s cake was so beautiful! It had four ivory stacked tiers with delicate edible flowers and beautiful frosting ‘ribbons’ around the bottom of each tier. The cake topper was a little Mickey and Minnie Mouse Bride and Groom. Glen’s chocolate cake with marshmallow topping was also a big hit.

Shortly after opening the dance floor, we had the Grand March. It was one of the longest ones yet – it lasted 15 minutes! It ended in a circle which went right into the Anniversary Dance. The longest married couple had been married 53 years! We partied from then until the end, stopping only for the Bouquet and Garter.

This crowd had such fun, dancing to everything and having a great time! Our Photobooth was also a hit, with tons of funny pictures taken. Everyone danced the night away until the Reception came to a close with the Last Dance. Glen and Alyssa made their exit through bubbles and left for their new life together. Congratulations to the Newlyweds!

Congratulations Daniel and Jenny

This pretty First Day of Summer Reception featured the color of navy, with pink and ivory accents.  The tables had pretty blue satin overlays over ivory floor-length table cloths, surrounded by chairs with blue organza sashes.  The centerpieces were pink and ivory floral arrangements around floating candles or tall candelabras.  To give the room a candlelight glow, we had Amber Uplights along one wall. 

After the First Dance and a delicious dinner, we moved on to the Toasts and Cake Cutting.  Jenny’s elegant cake had four white stacked tiers of different shapes.  Each tier had different designs with rhinestone accents.  The bottom of each tier had a soft pink ribbon.  Daniel’s marble cake looked like his Police Officer badge.  For the favors, they had gorgeously decorated cookies in the shapes of wedding gowns.  I was shocked to hear that family members made them, as I thought they were done by a professional bakery!

We opened the dance floor with the Anniversary Dance, and the longest married couple dancing had been married 57 years!  Dancing continued until the end, with the Money Dance, Bouquet and Garter being mixed in.  After the Last Dance, the Newlyweds took off in their car to their new life as husband and wife.  Congratulations Daniel and Jenny!

Congratulations Will and Emalie

This nautical themed Reception was perfect for the water-loving future boat-owning couple.  The colors were blue and white, with splashes of red and yellow.  The tables had blue cloths with red napkins and were surrounded by white chairs.  The centerpieces consisted of red and yellow floral arrangements or vases with blue aquarium rocks, seashells and candles, with rope ties around them.  Each was surrounded by seashells.  There were other neat touches that matched the theme: red bar napkins with anchors, custom beer cups with their Jimmy Buffet wedding motto (Shells sink, dreams float, life’s good on our boat) and two styles of coozies that matched the nautical theme.  There was also a Green Bay Packers coozie, which matched the Groom’s cake.  There were red, white and blue bead necklaces on the sign in table for guests to wear.  The sweetheart table matched with its seashell garland and the couple’s initials in blue.  The initials were cool, they were vintage book ends.  We had blue uplights highlighting the stage and front of the room, to tie it all together with a blue ocean/water feel.

Emalie’s nautical themed white cake had four round stacked tiers.  Alternating tiers had either red anchor-print ribbon or nautical rope around the bottom.  The entire cake was accented with seashells.  Will’s cake had a large Green Bay Packers logo on top, which matched his coozies.

After the special dances, a Money Dance, the Bouquet and Garter, a great night with family and friends and fun dancing including Swiss music, the Newlyweds bid farewell and left for their new life together. Congratulations Will and Emalie!

Congratulations Greg and Tiffany

This wedding day perfectly fit the style of the fun-loving and laid back Bride and Groom. With a beach theme for the day, the colors of Mediterranean Blue and Silver were just right. The tables had floor-length blue pin tuck linens surrounded by chairs with silver covers and blue sashes. The centerpieces pulled in the beach theme as well, with candles, seashells and sand. Our Mediterranean blue uplights tied it all together beautifully.  

After the Ceremony, in which Tiffany secretly walked down the aisle barefoot due to her shoes bothering her, the guests moved over the Reception, where they enjoyed a nice meal and toasts before the cake cutting.  Tiffany’s white cake had three stacked tiers with blue trim, edible seashells and sugar “sand” around the bottom.  The topper was two little Adirondack beach chairs.  Too cute!!  Greg’s cake was Mustang Red with the Mustang logo on top, to match his new Mustang Boss 302.  Their matching favors were blue cozies with two Adirondack beach chairs and their wedding date on them, and little bags of chocolates shaped like seashells.   Greg and Tiffany also had a basket with blue and white papers for guests to write notes to the Newlyweds.  Some of them were hilarious!! 

A Money Dance and the Bouquet and Garter came later, and then we went back to dancing until the end.  We had great time with these fun families, but the night had to come to a close.  The Newlyweds ran though bubbles and took off to their new life together.  Congratulations Greg and Tiffany!!

Congratulations Clay and Corie

What a pretty wedding on a gorgeous spring day! The colors were coral and beige and they were tied together beautifully. The Bridal Party wore dresses in shades of coral and no two were alike, as they each got to choose her own. The guys wore white shirts with the sleeves rolled up, khaki pants, beige vests and coral ties. They all looked great! The ballroom was decorated just right as well. The tables had ivory floor-length tablecloths and were surrounded by chivari chairs. The centerpieces consisted of pretty spring flowers in ivory, pale pink and coral. To really pull the whole look together, we had coral uplights along the walls, adding a beautiful glow of color to the ballroom.

Corie’s beautiful cake had three white tiers decorated in a delicate floral design. It was accented with pretty pink peonies. Clay’s cake was awesome: it was an outdoor scene with a river, fish, deer, a hunter and a man fishing, a fishing net, a reel, shotgun shells, and more. It was so perfect for him. For a cool touch for this Texas Country Music loving couple, they had personalized coozies at the bar.

The Money Dance and Bouquet and Garter came later, and the Bouquet Toss was so funny as many of the single ladies kicked off their shoes and went for it! Everyone had fun until the night came to an end. The Newlyweds enjoyed their last dance, ran though a shower of bubbles and bid farewell to their guests. Congratulations Clay and Corie!

Congratulations Ron and Lilia

This Ceremony and Reception were so elegant with a color scheme of ivory and purple. The tables had floor length ivory cloths and the ivory chair covers were tied with deep purple satin sashes. The centerpieces consisted of floating candles in purple water, surrounded by purple petals. There was a gorgeous ivory crushed satin drape covering one wall of the room and matching ivory swags draping across the ceiling.

Lilia’s cake was so pretty! It had round stacked tiers, with a beautiful fondant swag running down the front surrounded by edible flowers.  It had an elegant double heart topper. Ron’s cake looked like the box that holds their favorite wine, which has a special place in their hearts.

This wedding was so nice in that the Bride and Groom were able to enjoy spending time with each guest, which is so important. After the Bouquet and Garter and lots of fun with family and friends, the night came to a close. The Newlyweds got into their white stretch limousine and headed off to their new life as a married couple. Congratulations Ron and Lilia!

This Reception with shades of gold and cream was absolutely beautiful. I have never seen this venue look so amazing. The tables had ivory floor-length cloths with ivory damask toppers and the chairs had ivory covers with taupe ties. The place settings had gold chargers topped with ivory napkins in ivory napkin rings. Even the china matched, as it was ivory with a gold rim. The high/low centerpieces alternated between tall candelabras or vases with flowers, and all were surrounded by candles. We had amber Uplights accenting the room and it was all gorgeous.

Brittany’s ivory cake was so pretty! It had three round stacked tiers, each with delicate pale pink floral piped accents. To match the décor, it was on a gold stand. Chris’ three tiered stacked cake, a nod to his profession, had an oil derrick spouting ‘oil’ out of the top. We had an Anniversary Dance and the longest married couple dancing was married 52 years, how inspirational!

When the dance floor was open, the party was ON! This group was so much fun! They danced to everything from Country to Pop to 80’s to Hip Hop to Interactive Songs to everything else. They were hilarious and had such a great time. It was fun just watching!

When the night came to a close, the Newlyweds climbed into a chauffeur-driven Town Car and headed off to their new live as a married couple. Congratulations Chris and Brittany!
