Fun at the Foundry with Bridget & Steve

 

I had the pleasure of entertaining Bridget & Steve's fun-filled reception at the Phoenixville Foundry.

Jean Marie & Michael's Wedding Reception at The Columbia Station

            The month of March came to a close with an awesome celebration at Robert Ryan Catering's Columbia Station in Phoenixville, PA. I ALWAYS enjoy entertaining at the Columbia Station, as the facility is amazing and the staff members are always a pleasure to work along side! Jean Marie & Michael wed at a nearby church, and then arrived at the Columbia Station along with their 160 guests consisting of family and close friends.  The evening began with cocktails and hors d'oeurves in the lounge area, and then dinner and dancing in the main ballroom. Jean Marie & Michael's color theme was red and silver for their special day, so I decorated the ballroom with red LED uplighting for the majority of their reception, and then changed the lighting to "sound-active" mode for the last hour, raising the energy level and ambiance of the ballroom.

Ryann & Daniel's Wedding Reception at The Columbia Station

Believe it or not.... this was the first wedding I've done at The Columbia Station when it wasn't raining! After a long span of hot and humid (and rainy) Saturday wedding receptions this year, the weather has finally turned into perfect "wedding weather". Ryann & Daniel's wedding day was actually the first time I got to meet Ryann. She has been living in Boston, so most of our communication was done via email and telephone calls. After a wedding ceremony at a local church, Ryann & Daniel's 210 guests consisting of family and friends traveled to Robert Ryan Catering's Columbia Station to celebrate. The guests enjoyed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres while Ryann, Daniel, and their Bridal Party posed for pictures taken by Joell Gramacy. The guests then found their seats in the ballroom, and we proceded with formal introductions, dances, toasts and a blessing before dinner was served. Ryann & Daniel compiled a playlist of some "traditional" wedding classics including Jump 'N The Saddle's "Curly Shuffle" and Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline, and I also mixed in some newer songs. Whether I was playing an oldie or a top 40 hit, the dance floor was packed the entire night. Ryann & Daniel were a pleasure to work with, and I had a great time entertaining their guests! Here's how Ryann & Daniel's reception went:

4:30pm - Cocktails & Hors d'oeuvres
