Naples DJ: Frank and Amanda 5.17.14

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.

Frank and Amanda 5.17.14

On this Saturday May 17th, 2014 Frank and Amanda held their wedding reception with Ashley at the Naples Hilton! Beautiful as always! The photographer for the day was John Strohmeier.

Our evening started off with the Introductions of the Parents and Bridal Attendants to "Bring 'Em Out" by T.I. then Amanda and Frank strutted in to "Kings and Queens" by 20 Seconds To Mars. They went right into the First Dance which was to "Home" by Phillip Phillips.

After dinner was served, the Cake Cutting was done ("Good Life" by One Republic). Before all the fun dancing was done Frank and Amanda danced with their Parents. Father / Daughter was to "Music Of The Night" by Michael Crawford. Mother / Son Dance was to "My Wish" by Rascal Flatts.

It was great night of friends and family dancing and having a lot of fun celebrating the evening with Amanda and Frank!
