Mike & Julie - January 1st

Image
On an unusually bright and sunny day, Mike & Julie celebrated their wedding day on the first day of the first month of the eleventh year (1-1-11). The management and staff of the Pavilion On Crystal Lake as usual did a fantastic job creating the holiday atmosphere and providing a sumptuous, luxurious meal.  Photography was provided by Elizabeth Wertz Photography - coincidentally, we performed at Elizabeth & Matthew's wedding back on August 13th, 2005. Also attending were our previous Bride & Grooms, Alicia & Jonathan June 7th, 2003 and Erin & Eric July 12th, 2008.  It's always nice to see our previous clients again and catch up on what they've been doing.....to see so many at one wedding was such a delight and very heartwarming. Mike & Julie selected Custom Introductions for the Bridal Party and entered, Mike with top hat and tails, to Bing Crosby's "True Love" and into "Loving A Person" by Sara Groves as the First Dan...

The Importance Of Videography

Image
Your wedding day is one of the greatest days of your life, and having a videographer at your wedding will preserve those memories forever.  The day can go by very quickly, and with so much going on, you could end up missing some of the most exciting parts of your wedding.  In many surveys, the biggest regret from brides after their wedding is that they didn’t hire a videographer.  As the days go on and memories fade, they wish they had that tangible reminder of all the joy, laughter and love of their special day.   Why hire a professional? Professional videographers have the equipment, skills, and ability to create a wedding film that you can be proud of. Some brides will ask a friend to use their hand-held video camera to film the wedding and the results are almost always poor.  Professional videographers use several cameras and angles to film inside, outside, and in different light levels.  Experienced and talented videographers ...

Top Dance Songs of 2010

Image
2010 has been an exceptional year for rhythmic dance music - a catchy tune with a thumping base line and great anthem like lyrics, which would assure a packed dance floor. Unlike the nightclub scene with it's constant 120-160 Beats Per Minute, keeping the punters dancing all night long, weddings require a more varied approach.  You need to play the right mix of love songs, older dance songs but be able to mix in the new contemporary songs heard on today's radio stations.  This is noticeably why most club DJ's seldom make good wedding reception DJ's. There are always the standard party dance songs but this year we had a wealth of Top 40 Dance songs that guaranteed a packed dance floor - the sort of song you could play and even Grandma would come running to the dance floor.... well almost!! Here are just a few of 2010 releases that fired up the dance floor (in no particular order): Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are Usher - DJ Got Us Fallin' In Love Ke$ha - Lo...

Dessert Only Wedding Reception Ideas   By Jeffry Evans   With the rising costs of weddings every year, couples everywhere are trying to find ways to extend their budget while still planning a wedding and reception of their dreams. Many couples are starting to use other themes for their wedding receptions instead of serving a large dinner, or a cake and punch reception only, and the ideas are getting more and more creative. A dessert reception theme is starting to take off. You may have looked into it without knowing where to start or what to serve. Here are some of the most popular ideas for desserts in your dessert only reception. You can choose to implement only one of these ideas, or several for more variety so that everyone can have their favorite. 1.

You can either use the platters they come in, or arrange them yourself on the...

Choosing Your Groomsmen By Jennifer Baumann

Choosing Your Groomsmen: No Matter What They Say, Nobody “Must” Be In the Wedding Party By Jennifer Baumann   Your lovely fiancée has chosen her ‘maids, and now you’re stuck with the task of finding just the right number of family and friends to pair them with. How do you decide who makes the cut? The Usual Suspects Remember: No matter what your family or friends say, there aren’t people who “must” be in the wedding party. Select buddies you’re close with-not guys you feel obligated to ask. If you’re unfamiliar with wedding etiquette, however, here are the “usual” rules for including groomsmen in your wedding party. Brothers-yours and your bride’s-come first. Unless there are strange circumstances (if you don’t speak to your brother, for instance), your brothers and her brothers are automatically in the wedding party. Next come your closest friends (some may be relatives) who are responsible-and let’s get real here-financially sound. Being in a wedding,...
