Lindsay & Nathan's Wedding Reception at Marjeane Caterers

It's always exciting to entertain a wedding reception at a new facility!. My first visit to Marjeane Caterers in Lansdale, PA was for the reception of Lindsay & Nathan. After their wedding I can honestly say that I have mastered the microphone by saying the name "Lindsay"...... this was my third Bride named Lindsay in the month of June! Lindsay & Nathan's Friday evening wedding started off in Boyertown, PA for their ceremony at the Trinity EC Church. Their guests then traveled to Marjeane Caterers, while the bridal party made a few "rest stops" for photos. Upon arrival Lindsay & Nathan's 150 guests consisting of family & close friends enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres while awaiting the introductions of the bridal party. After dinner, Lindsay & Nathan suprised their guests with a special choreographed dance that I created them using their requested songs..... it was a great start to heat-up the dance floor!

Lee Ann & Frank's Wedding Day at LaMassaria at Bella Vista

On June 11th, 2011 Lee Ann & Frank shared their wedding day at LaMassaria at Bella Vista in Gilbertsvile, PA. Due to heavy thunderstorms in the near forecast, the wedding ceremony was moved indoors to the second floor ballroom. The beautiful natural stone walls of LaMassaria made for a breathtaking backdrop for Lee Ann & Frank's ceremony. During their ceremony, I provided music, microphones for scripture readings, and amplification for a singer (who did an amazing job singing Ave Maria!). After the ceremony, Lee Ann & Frank's guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres downstairs, while Brad and the staff at LaMassaria setup for the reception. Lee Ann & Frank had a photobooth setup in the lobby at LaMassaria, and the guests had a great time posing behind the curtain! Jim Indo from Zachary Gallery took photos of all Lee Ann & Frank's special moments, while TLJ Studios captured all the action in High-Definition.

Lindsay & Jimmy's Wedding Reception at The Abraham Lincoln

What a great way to start off the month a June...... Lindsay & Jimmy's wedding reception rocked! After exchanging vows as a local church, Lindsay, Jimmy and their 175 guests traveled a few blocks of downtown Reading, PA to the Abraham Lincoln Wyndham Hotel to celebrate and let loose. Their reception began with a cocktail hour around the wrap-around balcony overlooking the Hotel lobby, and then proceeded in the Presidential Ballroom. After introductions of the Bridal Party, First Dance, and a welcome speech by Lindsay's Father, We suprised the guests by opening the dance floor for a quick dance by the Beatles, "Twist & Shout". The response was great, and definitely set the tone for what was going to be an awesome reception.
