Congratulations Adam and Amber

This wedding reception was held months after the couple had a small, private ceremony, but it was still elegant and fun! The guests arrived to see tables with white floor-length cloths. On top were gold chargers and black napkins in gold rings. Each place setting had a black menu card on the charger and a black seating assignment card on the table.

A unique aspect of this reception was the bar. There were actually two bars: one was serving traditional drinks and a separate bar was just for bourbon. All the guests got their drinks served in custom glasses with the newlywed's names on them in gold. The three-tiered, white wedding cake had simple, elegant frosting lines on it, and the topper was a custom statue of the couple and their dog. It really looked like them! Near one bar, there was an elegant ice sculpture with the couple’s last initial on it.

Amber and Adam chose to skip many of the usual reception elements like first dance, parents’ dances, and bouquet and garter. Instead, they really wanted to spend their reception visiting with friends and family and dancing. And that’s exactly what they did. Amber was dancing all night long! After a fun night of dancing, the couple said goodbye to their guests before heading off together. Congratulations Adam and Amber!

Congratulations Anthony and Annette

This was the most amazing wedding and we had the pleasure of providing DJ services, Day of Coordination and a photo booth. The ceremony was held in the beautiful Sacred Heart Church, with a soloist singing. A trolley dropped the wedding party at the church and, following the ceremony, drove them to the reception venue. The wedding colors were dark eggplant and blue, so the bridesmaids wore floor-length eggplant dresses and the flowers were white with eggplant colored flowers accented with blue.

The reception was beautiful as well. The tables had floor-length eggplant-colored linens and napkins, and the centerpieces were stacks of books. This couple loves to read, so in addition to the stacked books, there were favors of custom book marks and the guest book was a picture of a book case that guests signed.

Annette’s three-tiered, stacked, gorgeous cake matched the book theme, as two of the tiers were wrapped with edible book pages. This couple loves movies as well, so Anthony’s round, groom’s cake had edible movie posters running around it. Everyone loved the cakes!

The reception tied in elements that reflected the couple’s heritage. For Anthony, mariachis played during dinner. Then for Annette, we did a Second Line as a nod to her Louisiana roots.  Anthony and Annette carried umbrellas, the guests waved their napkins, and everyone danced through the ballroom. The Second Line was fun! Once the dancing began, it was a good mix of music for everyone. Our photo booth was a hit, as everyone was in there all night long. For a unique touch, the lucky lady who caught the bouquet was presented with a Lego kit that makes a floral Lego bouquet. Obviously, this couple loves Legos in addition to movies and books.

When the night came to a close, the newlyweds ran through guests waving ribbon wands, climbed into a horse-drawn carriage, and headed off to their new life.  Congratulations Annette and Anthony!
