Reception Entertainment Director

Here is an amazing stat. Did you know that 70% of all of the engagements that happen each year will happen on Christmas/New Year's/ Valentine's Day? I don't know if the gentlemen are just lacking for originality, or if the romance of the season is just too good to pass up? What is the result of the 70%??? Thousands of newly (excited) engaged brides flood the bridal show market each year, which is why, in New England, we have these shows from January - March. A bridal show is the ultimate way to shop for wedding services. Unlike a magazine or web site, you can see, touch, sample, and question everything wedding related at these events! Here are a few tips of what to look for and what NOT to look for in a bridal show vendor. Now first and foremost, please remember that the vendors have paid to be here! They can pay up to $1500 for a small booth just to have the chance to fight the other vendors to romance your business. This fierce competition can lead to less than d...

We recently worked with our good friends Rosie and Don from Jorgensen's Fine Photography  for Jeana and Paul's wedding at Saint Clements Castle . It's amazing how simple and effective lighting can make the difference.  In this case, Atmosphere Productions provided custom lighting around the perimeter of the interior of the ballroom; Jeana and Paul's name and wedding date was projected onto the dance floor, and from above a beautiful starry night effect that we call "Dancing Under The Stars".

Halloween weddings are always great fun to perform.... playing loads of songs that we don't get chance to play at any other time during the year. Marisa and Chris selected Saint Clements Castle , which fit perfectly for their Halloween masquerade ball themed reception.  This was also the same setting for the Ceremony with the beautiful fall colors as a backdrop.  The Groom and Groomsmen all looked fantastic in elegant gothic style jackets and the Bridesmaids in traditional attire.... the Bride wore white. Our good friend and our routinely recommended officiant Rev. Dr. Robert Henderson presided over the Ceremony whilst Atmosphere Productions String Musicians Amanda and Nancy provided Violin and Cello for the Ceremony and Cocktail Hour. Atmosphere Productions specializes in working with our clients, if they want to pick all the music, to get the best mix and create the right flow.  The Bride & Groom and family members selected all the music for the reception....

A hot June afternoon, just dodging thundershowers, at one of our favorite banquet facilities St. Clements Castle, Portland, CT , working with top photographers Dan & Jenn from Stephen Charles Photography and the expertise of Fran Gagnon Films .  This indeed was a dream wedding for Ian & Lauren. The wedding day started with the Atmosphere Productions String Trio performing for Ian & Lauren's ceremony at St. Ann Church in New Britain followed by our Strolling Violinist , with remote broadcast sound, for an elegant cocktail hour in the courtyard area of the Prince Edward Ballroom at St. Clements Castle. Ian & Lauren's plans for tasteful and sophisticated wedding reception continued during a leisurely dinner, with some specific song selections and one of the most genuine Father of the Bride speeches I have heard in a long time. As usual, working with such professionals as Stephen Charles Photography and Fran Gagnon Films made coordinating group photographs a...
