Congratulations Michael and Amber



The Ceremony was held in the same location as the Reception, and with the colors of eggplant and ivory matching the historic venue, it was so beautiful.  The tables had ivory floor length table cloths and the toppers were in eggplant.  Each table had a beautiful wrought iron lantern on top with a candle inside, and they were the same lanterns that lined the aisle for the Ceremony.  The chairs had ivory satin covers tied with eggplant ties.

After the Ceremony and cocktail hour, the guests entered the Reception.  During picture taking, Amber took a picture of her Bridal Party in a pose that looked like the poster from the movie Bridesmaids.  Too funny!  Soon after, Michael and Amber made their entrance and enjoyed their First Dance.  After dinner and toasts, it was time for the cake cutting.  Amber’s three-tiered off white cake was decorated in floral accents of the same color.  These accents gave it an elegant, vintage look, which was very pretty.  Michael’s cake was a pistachio flavored cake with butter cream icing.  Although it’s not a traditional flavor, everyone loved it!  The Father/Daughter dance came next and then it was dance time. 

This crowd was fun!  From the first song to the last, they had a blast on the dance floor.  It was fun just watching, so you know they had a great time!  We paused for the bouquet and garter and then went right back to the fun until the very end.  After an upbeat, fun last dance, the guests gathered around the Newlyweds on the dance floor to hug them and wish them well until they headed off to their new life together.  Congratulations Michael and Amber!

Congratulations Joshua and Ashley

This Wedding Ceremony and Reception were so pretty with the colors of peach, cream and grey, which added to the romantic feel.  The Ceremony programs were rolled up sheets of ivory paper, tied with brown and ivory ribbons.   After the Ceremony on the first floor staircase, the guests moved upstairs to the ballroom.  The tables had floor-length taupe embellished linens with centerpieces of peach and coral flowers surrounded by candles.  Each guest had a small box of candy at their place setting, and each box had a little silver charm tied to it with a tied with a brown ribbon.  Joshua and Ashley entered in the room and went right into their first dance, which was a tango.  Great job!

After a nice seated meal, we moved on to the toasts and cake cutting.  Ashley’s cake had two ivory stacked tiers with a beautiful topper of peach and cream flowers, with a cascade down the front to match.  Joshua’s cake had two chocolate tiers with chocolate ganache drizzled over them, with a peanut butter filling.   The Parents’ dances came next (Ashley and her dad broke out into Brickhouse halfway through their dance!) and we opened up the dance floor with the Anniversary Dance.  The longest married couple in this crowd had been married 32 years and both had the same advice, “Always say yes” to whatever the spouse wants.  Good advice!

There was a lot of fun dancing until we stopped for the Bouquet and Garter, and then we continued dancing until the end.  This crowd was a lot of fun and loved to party on the dance floor.  (Ashley and Joshua even had a fun sign on the sign in table next to the seating assignments which said, “You can find your seating assignment here, but your place is on the dance floor!”)  I loved it!  The party continued to the Last Dance, and then the Newlyweds made their exit through a shower of biodegradable rice and walked across the street to their honeymoon hotel.  Congratulations Joshua and Ashley!

Congratulations Pete and Kayla



This Wedding Ceremony and Reception took place at a unique, cool venue: The Nouveau Antique Art Bar.  The bar is lit by over 100 Tiffany lamps and is perfect for those wanting something different.   The Ceremony took place on a stage in front of a large wall display of lamps and it was beautiful.

Due to the Tiffany lamps and the look of the room, there wasn't a need for much additional decor for the Reception.  Most of the wood tables were left uncovered and had white hydrangeas in vases with candles and some had ivory runners.  There were some unique touches that added to the overall feel of the day: a metal tree on which the guests would hang cards with their well-wishes to the Newlyweds, custom programs that looked like chalk writing on a blackboard, a large frame holding Pete and Kayla’s “love story” which included important dates in their relationship; and coke bottle favors with heart shaped bottle openers around the neck with tags saying, “Where there is love, there is life.” 

After dinner it was time for the toast and cake cutting.  Kayla’s dad’s toast was so funny and one of her Bridesmaids did part of her toast to the theme from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air.  Kayla's white three tiered stacked cake had a more vintage/casual look with the frosting lines showing and a few white hydrangeas as accents.  The custom topper had "Mr. and Mrs." with their last name on it.  Pete's chocolate cake was in the shape of the Aggie thumb with the university’s logo on it. The parents’ dances came next and then it was party time!

After plenty of fun dancing (and this group was fun!), we stopped for the bouquet and garter. Then we went back to dancing until the Last Dance.  Kayla and Pete stayed until the very end to say goodbye to their guests before they headed off to their new life together.  Congratulations Pete and Kayla!

Congratulations Matt and Jennifer



The Ceremony and Reception had a travel theme and it was one of the best we’ve ever seen.  It tied in perfectly with the colors of deep purple/eggplant and green.  After the Ceremony at one venue, we all moved over to the Reception at another.  The guests were greeted with purple and green Chinese lanterns hanging from the ceiling and amazing hand-crafted paper flowers adorning the accent wall above the dance floor. 

The tables had ivory cloths with purple napkins and different centerpieces on each.   The centerpieces included globes, tall ‘hot air balloons’, postcards, books, candles, lanterns, touches of lace, and purple and green flowers.  For favors, each guest had a small custom made ‘suitcase’ of candy at their place setting.  There was also a vintage looking box holding postcards, so guests could write words of well wishes to Matt and Jennifer.   That box matched the one on the gift table that held the gift cards.  To tie it all together, we had purple uplights accenting the main wall of the room.

Jennifer’s cake matched the theme of the day as well, as it had three stacked white tiers with different white accents on each.  Each layer had a few purple flowers with greenery.  The awesome cake topper featured a Bride and Groom each holding a handgun, perfect because Matt is a police officer.  Matt’s cake represented his favorite team: Notre Dame.  The round cake was a stadium with green grass in the middle surrounded by fans in the stands. 

This group was fun, having a blast on the dance floor to the music and dance floor lights or hanging out on the balcony watching the people on the street down below.  For the Garter toss, Matt made it unique when he put the garter around a football and tossed it to the guys.  Too funny!  When the night came to a close, the Newlyweds ran though a line of sparklers and headed off to catch a flight to the Dominican Republic.   Congratulations Matt and Jennifer and enjoy your honeymoon!

Great Job Fort Bend Medical Society

We were honored to provide the DJ entertainment for the Fort Bend Medical Society's 4th Annual Gala Casino Night on Friday.  Not only was it a lot of fun, but the raffles and silent auction items raised money for their scholarship program.  The program awards scholarships to deserving high school seniors who desire to go into a medical profession.  It was a great night of 'gambling', music, and food and money was raised for a good cause.  It was a pleasure and we hope to see them again next year!
