Bullard / Scott Ceremony & Reception

6-15-13. I got to see one of the coolest venues for a ceremony today. Audrey and Matthew got married at The Church of the Living Waters in Stillwater, AL. It was at an outdoor pavilion that over looked the water, making it a very unique and scenic location for any ceremony. After the ceremony everyone had to make a quick 15 minute drive to Gingko Manor in Dadeville, AL. The hot, humid June Alabama weather really held up the reception a bit but, as soon as the sun went down the party got started. It was a good thing Audrey and Matthew arranged to have the Cool Shots Photo Booth at their reception. It stayed busy all night supplying their guest with a wonderful entertainment option. Not to mention the awesome looking Scrapbook they got to take with them. Congrats to Audrey and Matthew and special thanks to Keith Little for the great food and another big thanks to Amanda & Jordan Greer for all the great pictures.

Campbell / Cooney Reception

6-9-13. Today was a great day. The Braves beat the Dodgers 8-1, the Miami Heat won game 2 of the NBA finals vs. the Spurs and I got to DJ Candace and John's wedding reception at the American Village.
John and Candace were not your typical couple. John is a Aerospace Engineer who is finishing up his PhD from Notre Dame. Candace graduated Law School from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. The were the perfect blend of fun, sweet, enthusiastic and dorky. I had no idea how this party was going to go. You would never expect an early Sunday afternoon reception with no alcohol to be very Jumpin'. Well.... this party was the exception to the rule. John and Candace really kept the party going. They stayed out on the floor and were the life of the party. On a side note, their guests were ready to get out on the dance floor as before they were introduced.
I was really glad to be a part of their special day. Thanks to Pete, Jeremy, Fish and everyone at the American Village. Also a big thanks to the great staff from Jim & Nick's for the wonderful food and service.

Wheeler / Bratt Reception

6-7-13. Tonight I headed on over to Aldridge Botanical Gardens for Sam and Brittany's Wedding Reception. It rained earlier in the day so, I was unsure of how this party would be. Fortunately, the sky cleared up and the ground dried out so... "Party On Wayne!" I know I say this a lot but, Sam and Brittany are an awesome couple. It is apparent that these two kids are definitely in love with each other. They didn't even need any guests because they were so happy to just be with each other. The did however, have plenty of guests that were there to definitely celebrate the union of these two and throw down.
Brittany, Sam and there guests danced all night. This was definitely one jumping wedding. All the right ingredients were there. Good food from Full Moon BBQ, Good Brews, Great Friends and ME, of course. j/k

Blaylock / West Reception

5-25-13. Today I loaded up the Cool Shots Photo Booth in addition to my usual equipment and headed south to Auburn for Brendon and Meredith's wedding reception. They had the outside patio area of Moore's Mill Club reserved for the occasion. It was very spacious, beautiful and had a very scenic view of the golf course.
I had done Meredith's sister's (Anna) wedding back in January of '09. It was wedding I'll never forget. It was at Pine Tree Country Club during the NFC Championship when my Carolina Panthers were defeated by the Arizona Cardinals to go to the Superbowl. But I digress.
Meredith and Brendon have an awesome group of family and friends. They were all very receptive and ready to get the party started. Once we opened up the dance floor it stayed packed all night. Also, the guests got to leave with a customized wedding favor from the Photo Booth. Now isn't that what memories are made of? Congrats to Meredith and Brendon. Have fun in Hawaii and enjoy your new lives in Baton Rouge. Also, I would like to thank Robbie and Holly for all they're hard work with the Photo Booth.

Goff / Russ Ceremony & Reception

5-24-13. Deja Vu. It feels like I was just here... No, wait. I was. And I love being here at The Sonnet House. Corey, Jarred and Candice are great to work with every time. I've been doing wedding here for over 5 years now and they're level of professionalism is second to none other. They always go above and beyond to take care of their clients and the property seems to get a little more beautiful each time I'm here.
Anyway, tonight was Tami and Nate's Wedding. I handled the ceremony and a little bit of music for the reception. The ceremony went flawlessly. In the past they have a few problems with microphones cutting in and out while the officiant is conducting the ceremony. We have asked around and it is not just us. I've talked to other companies and other vendors and they are having the same problem. We've seemed to have tried everything (i.e. moving setup location, trying different frequency microphones, etc.) to correct this problem with only a few improvements here and there. But I now think I have found the solution and I'm now 2 for 2 in 5 days time at Micing a perfect Ceremony. Go Feel The Beat! Oh. I'm not gonna tell my secret. Let's just say I'd rather be lucky than good.
Congrats Tami and Nate. Thanks you for having me and enjoy your honeymoon in the Florida keys.

Heiman / Tatum Ceremony and Reception

5-19-13. Tonight I made my way over to the Sonnet House for Lauren and Erik's Ceremony & Reception. After all of the rain we had this weekend everyone seemed to be a bit nervous... everyone but me. The dark clouds came in and rolled right on out, making for a beautiful day to have a wedding. I was in charge of the ceremony and reception today and both went flawlessly. Lauren and Erik are an awesome couple and I know they had as much fun as I did today. They and their families danced all evening right up until it was time for them to leave in 1959 Rolls Royce named "Elizabeth" from Coates Classic Cars. Congrats Erik and Lauren! Special thanks to Brendon Pinola of Photo 205 , Candace at the Sonnet House and Imperial Catering for all the great food.

Byars / Franklin Reception

5-18-13. Tonight I headed out to Old Car Heaven for Danielle and Brent's Wedding Reception. I did 15 LED Washes on the Drapery from Randall at Robert's Rentals in Hot Pink and 10 Wireless LED Up-lights on the drapery wrapped around the columns.
It's always a great time at Old Car Heaven. The giant room is filled with, you guessed it, tons and tons of old cars. Danielle and Brent even got to make their entrance to the reception in a classic convertible Rolls Royce that dropped them of directly on the dance floor. Now that's how you make an entrance. Danielle and her guests danced all night until she and her new husband Brent made their Grand Exit in a 1959 Jaguar named "Caroline" from Coates Classic Cars.
Special Thanks to Lorraine at Old Car Heaven and to Wayne Morris of Wayne Morris Video for taking the picture for me.

Rosiewski / Drake Reception

5-12-13. Today was Mother's Day. First I want to say I love my mother deeply and I wish I could have been with her today. Fortunately, she was in Virginia visiting with my other brothers and her grand and great grand children. Love you mama!
Secondly, I got to help a great couple make some wonderful memories for themselves and their guests. Sara, Nick and Sara's mother Kathleen threw this wedding together in just a couple of months and with Great Success. The Pavilion at Aldridge Gardens looked beautiful. I lit up all of the columns with 14 of our Wireless LED Up-lights. I also did a couple of pinspots for their cake table.
Being it was Mother's Day, I wasn't sure how this party would go. Their family and friends were great. They stayed most of the night and danced and got involved in various ways. I helped Kathleen setup a surprise bubble bombardment during Sara and Nick's First Dance. It made for a pretty cool and very visual experience. Congrats to Sara and Nick and a big thank you to Kathleen for having me and also to Judy at Aldridge Gardens.

Deardorf / Blume Reception

5-11-13. I have been anticipating this wedding for a while now. Tiffany booked me over a year ago, and when I first met with her and Zack I could tell they were going to be a lot of fun.
The wedding wonderful and the party was even better. Their people gave them one of the highest energy intros I have ever been a part of. Everyone was ready to go right from the start. I even had folks dancing to my cocktail hour music. Yea. This night was definitely fun and memorable for all.
Special thanks to Ashley and Stephanie from Mathew's Manor and Charles and Amber Ford for all the great pictures! Can't wait to work with you all again real soon.

Ajlouny / Haddad Reception

3-4-13. Tonight was Rachael and Nick's wedding at THE Club. I was there not only to provide the entertainment but, I also did a lot of lighting and a sweetheart logo as well. This was my fourth Arabic wedding and probably my favorite of the bunch. Everyone had a great time dancing and celebrating the night away. Nick and Rachael are a great couple. They're really down to earth, easy going, and hilarious. I was really glad I got to do this one. Thanks to all for such a great night.

Pelham High School Prom 2013

4-27-13. Today I was back at the Wynfrey for Pelham High School's Prom. This is another Event I have done for the past 4 years and again I look forward to it every time. This also marked the End of Prom season for me so I definitely wanted to end on a high note. This was another great show for a great group of kids. This years theme was "Footloose" and the place was totally decked out with great decor reminiscent of the 1980's Kevin Bacon classic. The kids danced hard all night. Really, It got very "Hot in Herre". A big thanks to Jennifer and Heather from Pelham High School who always rebook me for the next year the day after the Prom is over. I'm really flattered. Also a big thanks to Danny Brewer for shooting some video for me as well.

Stanhope-Elmore H.S. Prom 2013

4-20-13. Today Robby and I traveled south to Jasmine Gardens in Wetumpka for Stanhope Elmore's Prom. This is the 4th Year in a row I have done this gig and I look forward to it every time. There is always a great group of kids that are ready to throw down. This year I added a little extra kick and brought along our new dual 18" subs. I also used our Wireless Uplights to encompass the room and a light show that would make phish fans proud. Check out the video for a little sample of the energy in the room.

The Hart / Roberta Reception

4-13-13. Today I got to work with an awesome couple. Joe and Adrienne are not just only two of the nicest people you have ever met but, they are also big time philanthropists. It was a real honor to get to know and work with these two. I washed the walls in lavender to accent her colors and did a sweetheart logo as well that was a real nice accent to the decor. The guests had so much fun that we could have gone another hour but, the alarm system at Peace of Prince automatically goes on at a certain time and we didn't need the cops called. Anyway, another great time had by all.

Phillips / Lamb Reception

4-6-13. Today was Kayla & Bradley's wedding. I was there to do the Ceremony and Reception. The ceremony was at Mt. Zion Freewill Baptist Church in Pell City and the Reception was at Celebrations in South Cropwell (5 mins away). Of course, the ceremony went off without a hitch ( I don't count the flower girl not making it down the aisle). The reception was decorated beautifully. Debra at Celebrations has really done a lot to upgrade this place. She has installed new drapery that really gives the room a more elegant feel. I did the lighting so, I lit those drapes up with Kayla's chosen shade of pink. All in all, the room was beautiful, the guests had a good time and danced, and Kayla got the pictures she wanted ( taken by Candace and Brook from CB Photo & Design). Congrats Kayla & Bradley!

Wheelus / Cannon Reception

3-23-13. Today I made my way down to the American Village in Montevallo for Michael and Nikki's Wedding Reception. I took care care of the tunes and the lighting while Molly Shook & Happy Catering took care of the cuisine and Rod and Tara of Red Shutter Studio took care of the pictures. Another beautiful wedding and a great crowd to share in such a wonderful day.Congrats Michael and Nikki.

Lloyd / Bradberry Reception

3-16-13. Today was Erica and Ryan's Wedding Reception @ Greystone Country Club. I was there to provide a little entertainment and some lighting. Erica and Ryan are an awesome couple. They have been guests at other weddings I have been fortunate enough to entertain at and, when it came time for their big day, they left the good times up to yours truely. Erica and Ryan have a great group of people around them. They had fun until the last note of the last song. Another A+ wedding in the books. Special thanks to Teresa Lloyd, Rachel (Erica's Mom and Sister) and Lyndsey Cunningham (Photographer) for the wonderful pictures.

Godwin / Skelton Reception

2-9-13. Tonight I made my way to Tuscaloosa for Cassie and Stephan's wedding reception at the Hotel Capstone. This wedding was booked in a whirl. After cassie and Stephan got engaged they found out she was pregnant. Therefore they moved the wedding up to tonight. They even did a big reveal of the baby's gender at the reception. Nobody, including Cassie and Stephan had any idea of what the baby was going to be... except me. They wanted it to be a surprise for everyone so the results were handed to me personally earlier in the evening. I needed to know because I had to program a cool lighting effect based around the gender of the baby. I also had to share my findings with Melissa at the hotel who was to fill a box with either blue or pink balloons, which the bride and groom would open together. It was a great effect for the reveal with a giant ??? box and lights flashing pink and blue. When the box was opened, pink balloons flew out, the lighting in the room turned pink and I played "Thank Heavens for Little Girls". Ha. Good times. The pic above is of me playing the Shoelywed Game with them. Thanks to Megan Forehand Photography for the Pic.

Ashlock / Crowe Reception

12-8-12. Tonight was Courtney and Aaron's Wedding and reception at Mathew's Manor in Springville. I met with Courtney's mom Leslie a couple of month's earlier and was requested personally for this event. I did a custom sweetheart logo and did some great things with lighting around the hall to give it the requested atmosphere. Courtney and Aaron are an awesome couple. She loves Disney and Christmas so, she had a Winter Wonderland theme throughout Grace hall. I guess that may be why she also hired Wynter Pate to do her photos. Thank you Leslie, Courtney, Aaron and everyone at Mathew's Manor.

Koch / Hadley Reception

12-1-12. Tonight Elliot, Robbie and I headed our way North to Huntsville for Jillian and Brian's Wedding at the Roundhouse Depot. Tonight was also the SEC Championship Game between Alabama and Georgia so I had no idea how the evening would go. We did a Photo Booth, Total-Coverage Lighting and a Sweetheart Logo for Jill and Brian. Also.... I projected the game 10ft tall on the wall behind me so that no one was left out on the outcome. After the game was over, there was one heck of an introduction, followed by one memorable party.

Also... you NEED to check out this photographer Ariel Renae. She has the most amazing pictures, website and blog I have seen yet. I love this awesome picture of me above and the rest of the pics from this wedding are unbelievable! In addition... Thanks you Mr. Jeffery Koch Sr. for having me and for the AMAZING GRATUTITY!

Rudloff / Ford Reception

11-10-12. Tonight Robbie, Sean and I drove up to Stone Bridge Farms in Cullman for Tara and Jonathan's Wedding Ceremony and Reception. It was a beautiful day for a wedding. The weather was great, the food was great (supplied by Molly Shook and Happy Catering), the entertainment was supplied by me so all the ingredients were there for a beautiful wedding except.... This was the day of the Alabama / Texas A&M game. After the last down, over half of the guests left. Mostly, sneaking out of the side door. Although faced with the challenge of a defeated crowd, I pressed forward. This was a day for celebration and I always say, "the people that want to be there will be there." We had a great party afterwards and made memories that the guests will keep forever. Big thanks to Charlie and Amber Ford. for the great pics.
