Honestly, I have been looking forward to this wedding since last year. Dan and Krystal celebrated their wedding reception @ Embassy Suites Hotel in Livonia Michigan. Dan wanted to light his entire room, we met with him @ the facility to give them an exact quote on the lighting. Since they had their ceremony in the atrium we provided the music with our Going to the Chapel package. It was such a gorgeous day, I wish they would of had their wedding outside.

When it comes to weddings, there is one thing that you can always predict… that they are unpredictable. There was a problem when we arrived @ 3:30 to setup the lighting+reception+ceremony, the room was being occupied?! We could not setup! I was told by the facility 1 month before their wedding that we could enter the room @ 4pm. It takes us roughly 2 hours to setup lighting+reception+ceremony. It turned out the meeting in the room (that we should have been setting up in) was not leaving until 5pm! We had to work our butts off to get everything up in time. It was super stressful, but hey that’s why you hire us. We do all the stressing for you! The lighting looked AMAZING when it was all said and done.

The colors they selected were Pretty as a Princess Pink and Artesian Water Blue. The walls changed colors with the music throughout the evening. For example we play Lady in Red the whole hall is red; we play Usher Yea the whole place is green just like the music video. Since a majority of the crowd was older, we played a huge variety of music. At one point it was polkas, and towards the end it was house music. The bride and groom are huge techno fans, so we had to the play some dance music. A couple of our sets included:

Price – 1999
Flo Ft. Will I Am – In The Ayer
Run DMC – It’s Tricky (they loved this one!!!!!!)

Beatles – Birthday
Basement Jaxx – Where’s Your Head At (mixed VERY good with the Beatles!)
Daft Punk – One More Time
Fedde Le Grand – Put Your Hands Up For Detroit
Jamiroquai – Canned Head (switched the dance floor back up)

What was really cool, was how we ending the night. I asked for everyone to circle Dan and Krystal for a nice send off as we played the last song for the evening. They picked Lionel Richie All Night Long, and it was the perfect touch to the end of the reception. You can view their satisfaction survey at the following link. Have a great time in Vegas, and thanks for choosing us as your entertainment solution!

Megan and Michael had their wedding reception @ the Burton Manor in Livonia. This was a fun wedding and I really loved their cake, it was so cute. Megan and Mike had some very dramatic center pieces that really focused the attention around the smaller details of the evening. As always, the Burton Manor had awesome Pasta Alfredo Carbonara.

I must say, we took a lot of really good photos from the reception. This was not your typical cookie cutter wedding, and we do not specialize in those! What we did was get both the family and couple involved with requesting the music. This way people feel comfortable with making requests. I know that Megan and Mike had a blast. Congratulations!

We celebrated with Ray and Alina @ Burton Manor in Livonia. We got some great requests from all the guests. It was really smooth flowing working with Rick of Precious Memories and they took stellar photos (as usual). I should be getting back a couple of the pictures he took to post on here shortly, so that you can see just how good their work is. We got some video clips below of the party train done to a remix of Bon Jovi – Livin on a Prayer, do we have any Bon Jovi fans out there? Honestly, I have that same remix jamming in my car (CD 3 Track 6)! View their satisfaction survey at the link. Congratulations Alina and Ray, enjoy your cruise and thanks for choosing us over that other company =)
