A quote from Jesse about Angie “With Angie I never met someone who everybody loves.”  I found that to be VERY true upon first meeting Angie and Jesse and starting to plan their wedding together.  The creative team:

Heather and Nic's Wedding Day

Heather and Nic's Wedding Day

Wedding season is now in full swing and last night I had the pleasure to perform for Heather and Nic and their families. Heather and Nic opted to go with our uplighting package, a little more advanced from others that you may have seen before as ours will transform the mood of the room during the evening creating different colors and accompanying different emotions throughout the night. Here’s a pic of their head table done with uplighting.

Our dinner was a bit delayed due to Heather and Nic showing their affection for each other by smashing cake and they also came up with the unique idea to get them to kiss by having their guests pop bubblewrap in the same wedding colors that they had chosen. Heather held back emotion filled tears during their Love Story and during her Father Daughter dance.

Dancing got underway and everyone had a great time. I’m sure Fawn Clement of Fawn’s photography got some amazing images as there was definitely some fun shots to take. We wrapped up the evening at midnight with everyone saying goodbyes and congratulations to Heather and Nic, and ended their reception as they wished, on an upbeat note to the sounds of Outkast’s “Hey Ya”.

September 27th, 2008 was a wonderful day for Megan and Adam Whitney…but their wedding plans started much earlier. I originally met Megan back at her sister Jennifer and husband Jason Gartland’s wedding, when I first got to perform for the Frappier family. Megan and Adam hired me about two years prior to their wedding day and thusly had plenty of time to prepare. Megan and Adam chose a fun and creative way to dismiss their tables for dinner and had a beautiful love story to share with their guests. As they took the dance floor for their first dance as husband and wife, like magic their own custom monogram appeared next to them on the dance floor, “wowing” the guests and family. Their family and friends are wonderful people and they stayed, danced and celebrated with Megan and Adam all night long. Special thanks goes to Don the Entertainer for traveling in from Minnesota and helping me on the day. This truly was a memorable day for the Frappier and Whitney families and it was a pleasure working with them.

What an amazing last few weeks it has been. Just after my last post, I had a wedding reception at Pine Mountain in Iron Mountain for Amanda and Dan Krznarich. The Sielaff and Krznarich families are TRULY beautiful people, and it was a pleasure working with and for their children. Amanda and Dan had a very personalized and memorable wedding day and we even went overtime and created a very intimate ending for the last song of the night for them.

June 20th found me in Marquette for the Superior Bike Race. What a fun time when a community comes together and supports a sport such as cycling. People came from all over in and outside of the state of Michigan to participate in this event and we had a great time. Thanks to all of the hardworking folks at Frei Chevrolet for their assistance that night.

June 21st was Jessica and Steve Gartland’s wedding. These two are meant for each other and their beautiful daughter Shannin is just a doll. We had a great time and we even had a special introduction for one of their groomsman who strongly resembled Larry The Cable Guy!

June 28th brought the wedding of Angela and Craig Harris at the Island Resort & Casino. Angela and I have been working together on her wedding for quite some time and had several different moments that were personalized just for the two of them. Their first dance twist definitely surprised the crowd and created a moment that they and their guests will never forget. The evening ended on a high note with everyone celebrating with the two of them.

This weekend marks the 4th of July. I have two amazing weddings this weekend and am truly blessed to work for the best clients in the world. First, Jessica and David are getting married in Gladstone with a reception to follow at the Terrace Bay Inn. David proposed to Jessica in Paris exactly one year ago on the 4th of July after a friend’s wedding there. These two met with me a couple of months ago and currently live in the Baltimore Maryland area. Jessica and David’s tastes in music are eclectic and I am looking forward to entertaining their guests from all over the world who want to celebrate with Jessica and David in style. One of my best friends Eric Wagner aka “Crash” is making his usual trip up from Detroit to the U.P. and since he performs as a wedding entertainer in that market, he will be joining me to assist with their wedding on Friday night. My next reception is on Saturday night in Manistique at a private residence for Janice and Matthew Chittle. This will be a very intimate gathering of family and friends to join these two as they start their new life together.

Sunday marks the 5th annual Taylor 4th of July party and we should have approximately 50-80 people here at our home to celebrate summer in the U.P. and America’s independence. I would like to encourage all of you to thank your veterans of our Armed Forces this weekend. Freedom IS NOT free and we truly owe a debt of gratitude to these brave men and women. Thank you and have a happy and safe 4th of July.
