Naples DJ: Trace and Kristin 7.12.2014

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.

Trace and Kristin 7.12.2014

This Saturday was a battle with the rain! Kristin was such a great sport about the weather. We all waited and waited for the rain to stop. No go. Trace and Kristin still got married on the lawn at the Naples Beach Hotel even though there was some drizzles. The guests were good sports too!

Cocktails followed in the main dining room along with the reception which was originally planned to be under the Chickee Hut with about 45 guests. Lindsay and the Staff at the Naples Beach Club handled the weather and changes like Champs. Tonya Malay was the Photographer and I'm sure she achieved great pictures despite the weather too.

The wedding Reception was started off with the Introductions of the Bridal Attendants to the song "A Little Party Never Hurt Nobody" by Fergie. The Newly weds went right to the dance floor for their First Dance Song "Faithfully" by Journey. That was followed by Kristin and her Dad dancing to "Live Like You Were Dying" by Tim McGraw. Their was a couple Toasts and a Blessing of the food before the buffet style dinner.

After dinner Trace and Kristin cut into a large cupcake on top of a cupcake tier. Then, the rest of the evening was spent dancing to music from Kristin and Trace's list they gave to us along with songs Scott mixed in for all to enjoy! All together a success! Kristin got to be married outside and even though the dancing was inside everyone was having a great time! Kristin and Trace were so kind to send us a Thank You note.
