Naples DJ: Dan and Kim 5.31.14

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.

Dan and Kim 5.31.14

This Saturday May 31st, 2014 we had the pleasure of being part of Kim and Dan's wedding reception! It was at the Naples Beach Hotel and Golf Club. There was about 150 guests!

Photographer: New Ground Photography (Greg and Alex), fun to work with and always do an amazing job.
Videographer: The British Photographer (Alan) Our first time working with him.

The wedding reception started again with the Introductions. "Gonna Make You Sweat" C & C Music Factory. Then, "Pony" by Ginuwine.

The First Dance Song: "Crazy Love" by Van Morrison & Ray Charles. Salad and Dinner was served as the new Bridal Couple went outside for sunset photos.

Later the Toast were given by Kim's Father, the Maid Of Honor and the Best Man. Then, was the Father / Daughter Dance to "Walk With You" by Edwin McCain. Mother / Son Dance to "Nothing Can Change This Love" by Sam Cooke.

There were tons of awesome, fun dancers among the guests! I think the pics are pretty clear. :-) Later in the night we did the Cake Cutting and the Bouquet and Garter Toss.
