Shorr / Lofthus Reception

6/27/09. After my pool party I got a quick haircut and headed over to Flower Stem in Birmingham for Heather and Ben's wedding reception. I have known Heather and Ben for a couple of months. They come almost every Wednesday to Papa Saia's for Karaoke. Even the last couple of weeks I have hung out with them and their families until 2:00 a.m., so I knew that this was going to be one wild wedding reception. Oh yeah, They did not disappoint. This was probably the most fun I ever had at a reception (and that says a lot because I've had some amazing times at receptions). It was action packed from start to finish. Everybody danced all night long and had a great time. They even ordered the Cool Shots Photobooth to add a little extra fun for their guests and Heather and Ben left with the best wedding scrap book to date. Not only that we were lucky enough to have a very special guest show up, Elvis! These people dance, sang, cheered and screamed all night long. Seriously, They even went through 35 cases, that's right cases of coors light and 72 bottles of wine. This was one hell of a party and I'm glad that I got to be a part of this. Congrats Heather and Ben. Have fun in St. Lucia, you guys rock!

Pool Party: Colonial Vilage in Trussville

6/27/09. This morning I grabbed the Feel The Beat cash machine and north to Trussville for the Colonial Villages Pool Party. This was another great morning to give away lots of ash and prizes. First f all pool parties are fun, but when you ad the spectacle of the cash machine the party takes on a whole new dimension. Everyone wants a chance to win money off of their rent. We had about 9 people get in and we gave away over $700 off of next months rent. I am always happy to help anybody win some extra cash. They also gave me enough prizes that I had to give one away every 2 minutes. Needless to say, there were a lot of happy residents here at the Colonial Village. Congrats everyone and we'll see you guys next year.

Party At The Linc Point Center

6/26/09. This afternoon I had the privledge to throw a party for the good people at the Linc Point Center in Birmingham. Most of the guests today are living with Cerebral Palsy but that did not slow any of them down. They started dancing from the first note of Billie Jean (which they requested). Oh yeah, I might as well get this out of the way, R.I.P. Michael Jackson. Anyway, this was a very special event that touched me and the audience as well. I even had a couple of guest DJs. Thanks for the great time everyone.

Deane / Moses Reception

6/20/09. Tonight was another wonderful trip out to the fabulous Wynfrey hotel. This evening I got to entertain the families of Jennifer and Matt Moses. This really was a story book wedding. They went all out from the food to the decorations, to the entertainment(of coarse). They even ordered the Feel The Beat lighting design which really made this room pop. The crowd was very receptive and eager to have a good time. They got out on the floor and danced they night away with Jennifer and Matt. Thanks for the great time kids. Congrats and have fun in Cozumel.

Pool Party: Crowne at Grandeview

6/20/09. This afternoon I made my way over towards the Summit to the apartments at Crowne at Grandeview. One of the best parts about the summer is pool parties. Where else do you get to hang out at the pool, look at cute girls and give away tons of cash and prizes? Any way, the folks at CAGV gave me 40 gift certificates to give away ranging from Ben and Jerry's, Barons & Movie Tickets, Outback, Applebee's etc. etc. In addition to that, they ordered the cash machine to give some their residents a chance to win some money off of their rent. We had a total of 6 residents get in and we gave away over $600 in rent coupons. Right On!!!

Lauren & Ryan's Rehearsal Dinner

6/19/09. Tonight I headed down to Park Lane in Mountain Brook for Lauren and Ryan's rehearsal dinner. Ryan's mother, Kim Barnett hired us for the entertainment for their 80 guests. On tonight's menu: Ribeye and Game Show Mania. After a delicious dinner we pitted the bridesmaids against the groomsmen for a trivia showdown. Since the Jeopardy game was personalized about the lives of Lauren & Ryan, we were going to find out who knows who better. The bridesmaids started out strong taking a quick 160 point lead. Then groomsmen managed to come back from negative numbers to make it a game, but it was just too little too late as the bridesmaids coasted to an easy victory. After that the guys tried for a little redemption by testing out their sports trivia against each other. Everyone seemed to have a great time all night. Even when the Game Show was over we busted out the electric slide, cupid shuffle and the cha-cha thanks to the wonderful staff at Kathy G and Co.

Nolen / Bierig Reception

6/6/09. Today I drove 2 hours west from my first time at the American Legion building in Fayette, AL. Mallory and Sam Bierig got married and had one of the best non-alcohol receptions I have gotten to be a part of. First of all, this building looked nothing like a boy scout post. It looked more like a high dollar wedding venue. Also, their wedding party was a lively bunch who helped initiate all the fun this afternoon. Congrats Sam and Mallory. Have fun in Myrtle Beach

Cain / Parrish Rehearsal Dinner

6/5/09. Tonight was a fun filled evening as I headed over to the Mary Phelps Center in Tuscaloosa for Lynn and Cavin's rehearsal dinner. They wanted to have all the fun so they ordered some Game Show Mania with a side of Karaoke. This was one of they liveliest bunches to every play the game show. The game was close until the very last question in which the groomsmen took the lead and the win with the correct answer to final jeopardy. After that we wheeled out the karaoke and let everyone (I mean everyone) unleashed their inner diva. Also that is one super nice Sweetheart logo. Congratulations Lynn and Cavin. Thanks for letting me be a part of your weekend.
