Julie and Matt's FUN Camillus, NY Wedding Reception

Yesterday we helped Julie and Matthew Mason celebrate their wedding reception in Camillus, NY. 

With about 130 guests, the party started off with one of the more unique and FUN introductions I've done. Being huge Yankees fans, Julie and Matt wanted a "Yankees Roll Call" introduction, with the "Bleacher Creatures" (guests) chanting the names of their bridal party members as I introduced them into the room. I completed the effect with stadium crowd cheering sound effects, and Jay-Z's 'Empire State of Mind' as the newlyweds entered. It was a fun way to personalize their day that got all of their guests involved.

Since one of Matt's groomsmen, Mr. Brandon Lewis, made their wedding cake, which was a true work of art, it only made sense to make it a focal point in the room. Spotlighting the cake helped, to match their wedding colors, we under-lit the table linens with a gentle teal glow to match their wedding colors.

The night was packed with fun and lots of dancing. Julie and Matt's taste in music was great, and we filled in the blanks and read the crowd to keep the dance floor hopping. Highlights of the evening include an anniversary dance, a hilarious bouquet and garter ceremony, and even a conga line lead by the bride to the tune of "Jump in the Line" that included nearly every guest! 

The wedding was a big success! 

The pleasure was ours, thanks for letting us help you celebrate!

Cathy and Mike's Intimate Dino BBQ, Steam-Punk, Skaneateles Wedding Celebration

Tonight (technically yesterday now) I had the distinct honor of helping Cathy and Mike Dailey celebrate their wedding!

Cathy and Mike flew in from Long Beach, CA to tie the knot at the Fox Ridge Bed and Breakfast in Skaneateles, in an intimate gathering of close friends and family.

The reception was deliciously catered by Dinosaur BBQ, and for desert, guests enjoyed some of the coolest cupcakes I've ever seen, each with gear/sprocket, to capture the newlywed's steam-punk flair.






For Cathy and Mike's wedding, we used our new flagship sound system, the dual Bose L1 Model II.

Aside from it's obvious aesthetics and lack of "boxy" big  obtrusive speakers, the sound is second to none, providing wide coverage and great sound to every guest in attendance. We were thrilled to receive several compliments from guests and fellow vendors on the sound and the look of the system.

For the ceremony, our Bose L1 Compact Ceremony System blended right into the surroundings, filling the area with rich sound, and crisp speech so guests didn't miss a word. Cathy and Mike's self-written vows were some of my favorite ever. It's truly an added bonus when  guests can hear everything clearly and share in the moment. 

We also had the opportunity to work with Photographer Emily O'Reilly and her assistant Kevin, who were a pleasure along every step of the way.

A BIG thanks again to Cathy and Mike. It was an honor to be a part of your big day!
Best,
