Naples DJ: Joe and Joanna 05.02.15

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.

Joe and Joanna 05.02.15

What a very nice couple! They found us through their Venue, Bellasera Hotel in Naples, Florida in December of last year. They were referred to us by Liz Sanders. Thanks Liz!

Joanna and Joe's Ceremony took place at the hotel courtyard. Scott and I provided two lav microphones (one for the Officiate and one for Joe) as requested. The Ceremony started at 4:30pm so we played some piano love songs about 15minutes early so their guests had some music for seating. The Ceremony music Joe and Joanna chose was: "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" IZ and "Is This Love" Bob Marley.

Following the Ceremony was the Cocktail Hour upstairs on the balcony where Naples DJ played some upbeat listening music. It was a beautiful afternoon.

The Intro song was "Blurred Lines" by Robin Thicke and the First Dance Song was "Turn the Lights Down Low" by Colbie Caillet. It was party from then on! The final encore song Joanna and Joe chose was "Last Dance" by Donna Summer for all their guests to enjoy.
