Naples DJ: April 2016

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.

Corey & Rhianna 3.11.2016

Rhianna and Corey chose the Naples Beach Hotel for their Wedding venue for a very special reason. Her parents were also married there! The Ceremony took place on Penthouse Beach at 5:30. Once married they wanted us to play Mendelssohn ....then (custom edit) scratch into "Going Down For Real"!

The reception followed at the Naples Beach Hotel at Coconut Grove area on the sand.

The First Dance Song was "Amazed" by Lonestar. Father / Daughter "It Won't Be Like This For Long" by Darius Rucker. Mother / Son "Simple Man".

Guests enjoyed the music and wandered between Coconut Grove and the Bar area. We adore this couple and wish them happy honeymooning in Jamaica! I'm sure we'll be seeing them again soon as we enjoy our jeep adventures around town!
