23 Jan Wedding Spectacular at Four Seasons Resort Orlando

Posted at 12:24h in Wedding DJs, LED Lighting Design

The most spectacular setting at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando made for a beautiful wedding for Lauren and Pete on December 6, 2021. The bride and groom exchanged their vows outside on the rolling lawn area, featuring a bright, white setting and fresh florals. Soundwave Owner DJ Les Kopasz played a selection of prelude music before announcing that the ceremony was about to begin. The processional began to A Thousand Years by The Piano Guys, captivating 80 of Lauren and Pete’s closest friends and family. The bride looked stunning as she linked arms with her father to walk down the aisle toward her groom. With beautiful moments captured by the extremely talented photographer Brandon Kari, the couple recited their vows before saying, ” I do.” Now officially husband and wife, Lauren and Pete paraded down the aisle joyfully to This Will Be An Everlasting Love by Natalie Cole.

A Reception to Perfection at the Four Seasons Resort Orlando

Large windows and stunning chandeliers hallmark the elegance of the Four Seasons Palm Ballroom. Soundwave provided an elegant LED Lighting Design that included 24 lights in a gentle, icy blue. In addition, 18 pinspot lights were carefully placed around the reception space to highlight specific features like the centerpieces, the newlywed’s table, and the wedding cake. Finally, mini uplights were added to the gorgeously-crafted tree centerpieces from Lee Forrest Designs. The entire room was transformed, and included personal touches organized by Runway Events. Additionally, DJ Les provided his all-white designer DJ system, which he calls “The Optimus,” that matched the couples decor perfectly with added lighting enhancements.

Cool and Classic Mix with Soundwave DJ Les

Of course, wedding guests of all ages showed their love of dancing late into the night. Soundwave Owner DJ Les kept the dance floor full with a completely classic list of music curated by the couple. The mix featured incredible attention to detail, as all songs played were from before the 1980s. Guests loved the throwbacks, oftentimes singing the melodies aloud. From classic rock, sing alongs, to motown, disco, funk, pop and hip hop, DJ Les kept guests dancing for 3 hours!

Digital Photo Booth Was a Huge Hit

Soundwave Entertainment’s Digital Photo Booth is always a guest favorite, providing fun signature photos from the event that they can cherish. Because it’s digital, guests immediately can send images to their social media. After the wedding, Soundwave provides all the images to the couple via an easy dropbox.

Posted at 10:24h in LED Lighting Design, Wedding DJs

A Four Seasons Resort Walt Disney World Wedding

Cristina and Jesse’s October 2, 2021, wedding at the Four Seasons Resort Walt Disney World was a magical affair. This luxury wedding venue in Orlando, Florida, offers unending possibilities for ceremonies, receptions, and destination wedding fun. We always enjoy events at this impeccable venue, so our Soundwave team was excited to help Cristina and Jesse bring their reception vision to life with DJ, LED Lighting Design and Digital Photo Booth.

Highlighting a Grand Reception Space Soundwave Lighting

While the newlyweds enjoyed a cocktail hour with guests on the outdoor terrace, Soundwave DJ Ray Vales complemented the natural setting with a Tropical Deep House Instrumental Mix. As the cocktail hour wound down, guests entered the reception space for the introduction of the wedding party and the newlyweds. The grand ballroom lived up to its name with some design help from Soundwave’s Lighting Team. Forty wall uplights gently illuminated the space in purple and amber hues. Easy Love by Sigala played as the wedding party and the newlyweds entered the glamorous space. After the guests settled into their seats, the new husband and wife shared a sweet first dance to I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Tyler Ward.

Making Memories – Photo Booth Style!

After a quick dress change, the bride and groom were ready to cut their wedding cake. The stunning cake was highlighted with a pin spot provided by us, making for a picturesque moment. The newlyweds then had fun snapping silly photos at our digital photo booth, capturing smiles with friends and family. The conversations and laughter carried on through the night, and guests of all ages danced along to DJ Ray’s mix of high-energy music. Closing out the evening, DJ Ray played Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon.

03 Jan A Fun and Exciting Wedding at Hilton Bonnet Creek

Posted at 10:01h in Wedding DJs, LED Lighting Design

The love, laughter, and dancing kept coming at Benjamin and Allison’s wedding at the Hilton Orlando Bonnet Creek. Their October 30th, 2021 wedding had it all: a romantic ceremony outdoors, extensive LED Lighting indoors, and even a photo booth for guests to make their own memories with the newlyweds.

Outdoor Ceremony on a Perfect Fall Day

The ceremony for this Central Florida wedding took place outside with a beautiful backdrop of palm trees and blue skies. The bride entered to Good for Me by Above & Beyond and she met her groom under a floral arch. After Ben and Allison exchanged their vows, they sealed their new union with a kiss. They made their way back up the aisle as husband and wife, while Soundwave DJ Justin played Happy Together by The Turtles.

Cocktails and Soundwave Lighting Design Magic

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed cocktails while listening to a custom playlist. The vibe was fun and easygoing, with songs like Knee Deep by the Zac Brown Band and Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. The bride and groom enjoyed a sneak peak of their reception space before anyone else arrived, giving them a chance to see their reception design come to life.

Soundwave’s lighting design team had a lot of fun setting up the design for this space. The reception area featured 30 wall uplights in a soft white set against a soft blue drape. We provided over 15 Pinspots …each table centerpiece was illuminated, along with the wedding cake and newlywed table. Dance lights included large and small Moving Heads, with the larger Moving Heads mounted on totems.

The space was beautifully done and allowed for flexibility throughout the night. Whether the newlyweds needed soft, romantic lighting for their first dance – or dance lights and a booming bass for the afterparty – our design was ready for action.

Soundwave DJ Introductions and Formal Dances

Soundwave’s very own DJ Justin kicked off the introductions with One More Time by Daft Punk. Guests cheered as the parents of the newlyweds entered, followed by members of the wedding party. Finally, it was time to announce the new husband and wife!

The newlyweds took to the dance floor, enjoying their first dance to Twirl Me by Wildlight (feat. The Polish Ambassador and Ayla Nereo.) After the first dance, Allison was joined by her father for the father-daughter dance. Benjamin and his mother followed with their own dance, and then Ben shared a dance with Allison’s grandmother, swaying to Forever Young by Rod Stewart.

Dinner and Dancing, and AFTER PARTY for This Wedding at Hilton Bonnet Creek

After a welcome by the bride’s father and a blessing by the groom’s father, it was time to eat! Guests were treated to a plated dinner, and enjoyed heartfelt toasts from the best man and from Allison’s brother. Soundwave DJ Justin hosted an anniversary dance to songs like This I Promise You by *NSYNC and I Swear by John Montgomery. The couple cut their cake…and then it was time to dance the night away!

Unique to this wedding, the beginning of the reception, from 9:00 – 10:30pm, featured a music vibe of pop hits for all ages. Then at 10:30 the AFTER PARTY KICKED! Soundwave DJ Justin went into total club mode with heavy mixing and scratching! We turned off all the lights in the ballroom, increased the volume, turned on the subwoofer, and provided an extravaganza of dance lights changing to the music beat, mini Moving Heads and Large Scale Moving Heads …total high energy with a mix of house, EDM, techno, and hip hop.

Some of the songs during the After Party included…

Cinema – Benny Benassi (Skrillex Remix)
Everytime We Touch – Cascada (Hardwell & Maurice West Remix)
Get Low – Ying Yang Twins, Lil Jon
Heads Will Roll – Yeah Yeah Yeahs (A-Trak Remix Radio)
I Could Be the One – Avicii & Nicky Romero
Pursuit of Happiness – (Extended Steve Aoki Remix) Kid Cudi
Take Over Control – Afrojack

A highlight of the evening was our digital photo booth. Guests gathered around, doned some of the provided props, and smiled big. Our photo booth is always a hit at events, and gives guests a unique way to remember that special celebration!

Eventually, it was time to wind down the celebrations. This wedding at Hilton Bonnet Creek in Orlando was definitely one for the books, and we were honored to be part of this incredible day!

31 Dec The Royal Crest Room Wedding

Posted at 13:26h in Wedding DJs, LED Lighting Design

Deborah and Ryan’s Royal Crest Room wedding was truly a regal celebration from start to finish! The Royal Crest Room sits around lavish water features, and the mossy green golf course in Central Florida is full of charm. It’s hard to go wrong with this venue, and Deborah and Ryan’s November 20, 2021 wedding was no exception.

Getting the Party Started

After an intimate outdoor ceremony at the all white trellis that sits with the golf course in the backdrop, cocktails were served patio area under the market lights. Soundwave Entertainment’s DJ Justin set the stage for a grand entrance into the ballroom, with our Illuminated DJ Front Board. Soundwave provided 18 LED wall uplights throughout the ballroom in a warm, candlelight tone. As guests took their seats, Get the Party Started by Pink kicked off the wedding party introductions and the reception.

DJ Justin introduced the newlyweds just before they shared their first dance as husband and wife to You Had Me From Hello by Kenny Chesney. After the first dance concluded, guests joined the couple in two more songs. Perfect by Ed Sheeran began the set, followed by I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas.

When the Bride Becomes the DJ

As the night went on, guests enjoyed a few surprises from this fun bride and groom. During the anniversary dances, DJ Justin wished a happy anniversary to two of the couples who were on the dance floor. And at one point, the bride even took a turn behind the DJ booth, having fun at the mic and giving her friends and family some dance mixes.

Finally, this Royal Crest Room wedding closed with an impressive surprise…an actual fireworks display! Afterward, the bride and groom returned to the ballroom for one last dance in private, swaying to The Rest of Our Lives by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill. Then, it was time to complete the incredible day with a sparkler send off!

A Spooktacular Wedding at the Orlando Science Center

We had so much fun being part of Erika and Dustin’s October 31, 2021, Halloween wedding at the Orlando Science Center. It was a spooktacular event, set among the celestial bodies of the Planet Room and the towering bones of dinosaurs.

The ceremony took place in the Planet Room. The 75 guests took to their seats and the music Imperial March, and Mad World ushered in the wedding party. The bride and groom exchanged vows under a picturesque full moon, with an exit to an instrumental This is Halloween.

In keeping with the unique atmosphere of the event, Soundwave Owner, DJ Les played a custom-curated Halloween playlist for the bride and groom.

Ghouls Gather for This Halloween Wedding

As the reception began, DJ Les announced the wedding party to Ghostbusters by Ray Park Junior. The newlyweds entered the room and enjoyed a first dance to Into My Arms by Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. After a heartfelt welcome message from the parents of the bride, DJ Les played more handpicked Halloween favorites during the plated dinner. Purple velvet dressed the couple’s sweetheart table. Matching purple wall uplighting added to the themed event. The wedding party surprised everyone with a rendition of Beetlejuice, performed by the bride and groom with the help of the entire bridal party and a few guests.

I Put a Spell on You

The black and metallic cake – perfect for a Halloween wedding – shimmered under Soundwave’s cake pinspot. Erika and Dustin cut their cake to I Put a Spell on You by Screamin’ Jay Hawkins. And finally, it was time for everyone to hit the dance floor! The lights dimmed and the energy amped up as guests were encouraged to hit the dance floor to all of their favorite songs. Guests were able to request songs, and a mix of fun favorites kept the party going well into the night. Late snacks were served before the final dance to Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen.

Dancing the Night Away with Soundwave DJ Justin

The party continued with favorite song requests, and the bride even had fun with her own turn at the mic! There was a particularly poignant moment during the night when Olivia enjoyed a dedicated dance with her four brothers to Isn’t She Lovely (acoustic) by Callum Wright. Snacks brought out made for a fun twist on keeping the party high energy as the wedding guests continued to dance the night away.

26 Oct A Fun, Central Florida Wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center

Posted at 06:51h in Wedding DJs, LED Lighting Design

Melissa and David Pagan’s Central Florida wedding was a lovely and fun affair from beginning to end. Held on July 24, 2021, their wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center featured plenty of opportunities for unique lighting designs from our experts at Soundwave, and we were excited to return to one of our favorite stomping grounds.

Lighting Design for a Wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center
The couple opted for an intimate ceremony in a room flanked with floor-to-ceiling windows and endless amounts of natural light. Their evening reception was classy and soft, bringing in lots of opportunity for understated and transitional lighting as the sun set on the venue.

We brought gentle color to the inside space with our LED lights, illuminating the room with a gentle purple to reflect the wedding colors of the bride and groom. Soundwave provided the Monogram in Lights on the stage wall with purple hues of LED Wall Uplighting providing a main focal point in the space and a beautiful backdrop for pictures.

We added Centerpiece Pinspot Lighting to highlight the newlywed table and the wedding cake from their positions within the alcove at the front of the room. We also used the lighting design to frame the newlyweds’ silver accents, complementing Melissa and David’s vision for their wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center.

Your Perfect DJ for a Central Florida Wedding
To ensure that it was truly a night to remember, the bride and groom had an ingenious idea: capture it through film…but with a twist! Before the start of dinner, when guests were all still at their seats, Melissa and David requested that our talented Soundwave DJ Ray Vales announce to the room:

“The bride and groom have a challenge for all of you: the newlyweds want to take a photo with each group of guests at each respective table. Easy enough…however, here is the challenge: you all have only have 3 minutes to do this! So, you all must work together at each respective table. The photographer will come to each table and the assistant will get you all in position. But, you must act fast, you have three minutes total!”

As DJ Ray started the clock on those three minutes, “Hey Ya” by Outkast was the countdown song of choice. DJ Ray had fun with the countdown, keeping the energy going as the bride and groom rushed between tables and laughed with every guest in the room. This photo challenge was a fun twist on traditional wedding photos, and DJ Ray was happy to make the most of it!

In keeping with the fun and personal touches at this Central Florida wedding, the bride and groom had another surprise in store for everyone. After the food has been eaten, the cake had been cut, and the dancing had been going on for some time, DJ Ray asked all of the guests to make a circle around the dance floor. Melissa entered into the middle of the circle, and DJ Ray invited Melissa’s mom to join her for a very special surprise dance. The mother and daughter danced to “Mom” by Meghan Trainor, and Melissa’s surprise for her own mom was a successful and heartfelt one.

The dancing resumed and DJ Ray kept the party going until it was time to finally end what had been a fantastic day. Mr. and Mrs. Pagan shared their last dance with guests to “Last Dance” by Donna Summer. When the dancing ended and everyone left the room, the newlyweds were able to enjoy one last private last dance to “Die a Happy Man” by Thomas Rhett. We were honored to be part of this beautiful Central Florida wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center, and we loved getting to see Melissa and David start their own happily ever after.

01 Oct Fun and Contemporary Wedding at Rosen Shingle Creek

Posted at 13:27h in Wedding DJs, LED Lighting Design

With a photo booth, fantastic songs, and party props on the dance floor, Jessica and Alex’s wedding at Rosen Shingle Creek, July 17, 2021, was an event to remember! Rosen Shingle Creek Resort is located in beautiful Orlando, Florida. This luxury resort is a favorite choice for many couples on their big day. Jessica and Alex decorated the area with sweeping florals, white linen, and soft touches of lavender lighting.

Every wedding is very special to Soundwave, but in this case, the bride is in the wedding industry and is a professional wedding planner with Just Marry. We are always humbled when a fellow colleague turns to us to help make their dreams come true.

The ceremony was an intimate affair: the event was unplugged, live music flowed through the space, and the officiant was a close friend to the bride and groom. As they exchanged custom vows, their faces were glowing with love. Not ones to stop the celebration after a traditional first kiss, Jessica and Alex said their vows and then shared a flirtatious second kiss as husband and wife while making their down the aisle.

The Orlando bride and groom hosted an exquisite reception where music and lighting set the mood for a grand entrance. Beautiful white linen tables for both the newlywed table and the cake were lit with centerpiece pin spotlighting from Soundwave Entertainment. The dance floor was centered in the middle of the room, making it a focal point along with the 18 soft purple uplights that illuminated the space. Breathtaking floral arrangements with contemporary centerpiece designs from Raining Roses gave an exciting and welcoming feel.

Soundwave DJ Les Kopasz got the party started, playing “Party Up” by DMX and directing everyone’s attention to the entrance of the wedding party! As the wedding party entered and it was time for the new husband and wife to take center stage, you could hear: “Ladies and gentlemen, please stand…as I am honored to introduce for the second time today, the newlyweds: Mr. and Mrs. Van Hide!”

Guests enjoyed a delicious plated dinner as DJ Les Kopasz played a custom-curated mix of 2000s Pop Instrumental Mix. The bride and groom shared their first dance to “You Are In Love” by Taylor Swift. Halfway through the song, DJ Les Kopasz invited guests to join the couple in their first slow dance as husband and wife.

After dinner, guests flooded the dance floor and spent the evening dancing the night away with foam glow sticks, light-up glasses, and glowing props! As the night wound down, DJ Les Kopasz announced that the newlyweds would meet them for the after-party as everyone was ushered out of the ballroom. Alone for a brief moment, the bride and groom shared one final dance in private to “Lover” by Taylor Swift. While they gazed at one another, the wedding at Rosen Shingle Creek ended exactly how it started: with the couple just glowing.
