Naples DJ: Steve and Nikki 2.8.2014

TIPS FOR A GREAT RECEPTION:

1.) Have the bar in the same room as the reception. People tend to naturally gravitate to the bar, so keeping it in the room will keep them near the fun.

2.) DJ by the dance floor! Your DJ & the sound system needs to be at the edge of the dance floor. Do not make the mistake of having the DJ place the loud speakers a distance away from the dance floor. Playing music over & thru the guest tables can make for an uncomfortable experience.

3.) When arranging the seating chart, it's important to have your relatives seated close by. It's a great suggestion to not have Grandma and Grandpa sit in front of where the speakers may be placed.

4.) You are the party. When you dance, the dance floor will be full. Realize that if you spend your time visiting or outside, your guests will be wherever you are at. So dance all night!

5.) Arrange with the catering manager to have some hors d'oeuvres and your favorite drinks ready for you and the bridal party immediately after photos. You'll be glad you did.

Steve and Nikki 2.8.2014

What a beautiful day in Naples, Florida for an outside ceremony at the newly designed Olde Cypress Country Club! Warm sunshine with a refreshing cool breeze!

Steve and Nikki's ceremony took place at 4:30pm. Scott played some modern songs set to classical music while the guests were taking their seats for the ceremony. Instead of lighting unity candles Nikki and Steve poured different colored sand into a special picture frame with a place for a photo. The ceremony was performed by Catherine Fazzina. As usual she did a great job!

After the ceremony the guests made their way upstairs for cocktail hour while Steve and Nikki had some photos taken by photographer Ashley Allbee. During the hour there music played such as Dave Matthews band, State Radio, O.A.R., reggae.

Then, onto the wedding reception in the main room! We provided the uplighting of blue for the room decor that transformed the room nicely. We started off with the Introductions to "Marry You" by Bruno Mars. The First Dance was next. Nikki and Steve danced to "You And Me" by Dave Matthews Band. We moved on to a toast and a buffet dinner. After dinner they danced with their parents to "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw and "Let It Be" by The Beatles.

The rest of the evening was dancing, visiting and lots of fun! The very last song Nikki and Steve chose for night was "Don't Stop Believin" by Journey. It was very fun with plenty of romance. We enjoyed the great time!
