Naples DJ: David and Megan Goebel 12.13.14

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.

David and Megan Goebel 12.13.14

Megan and David met us at a bridal show last year. We were very excited when she chose us for her wedding day. We were part of the reception and cocktail hour. Both cocktail hour and reception were held at the Port Royal club in Naples Florida.

Both Megan and David met while they were in Chicago and both their families are from Chicago as well. There were several guests who traveled to Naples to be involved in the wedding. The couple hosted about 130 guests at the Port Royal club.

It was a wonderful night. Although it was cool outside it wasn't cold. There wasn't any clouds in the sky, just beautiful sunshine right on the beach.The guests enjoyed a cocktail hour right on the beach and the patio at the Port Royal club. They enjoyed the sounds of tropical music.

As they made their way into the reception area the whole room was fully decorated for Christmas and looked beautiful. One by one the bridal party was introduced until Megan and David came in the room. They danced their first song to a classic drifters song, "This Magic Moment". Megan danced with her Dad to "My Little Girl" by Tim McGraw. David danced with his Mom to "What A Wonderful World" by Louise Armstrong. The toasts were made after the salad was served. All we can say is their family and friends were wonderful and all had a great time! The dance floor was packed the entire night and they all enjoyed songs from the 50s through today.

We are honored that we got to be part of their special celebration!
