29 Oct Magical Isleworth Country Club Wedding

Posted at 03:00h in Wedding DJs, LED Lighting Design

It was a lovely Thursday evening at the luxurious Isleworth Country Club celebrating a night of love for Tricia and Mark! These two said their “I Do’s” in front of family and friends during their romantic wedding, followed by a elegant reception. From Spark Fountains to Dancing On A Cloud coupled with stunning LED Lighting Design and DJ/MC by Soundwave, this wedding had it all. We can’t wait to relive the moments from this magical Isleworth Country Club Wedding with you!

Live Music Ceremony

The musicians filled the air with beautiful music for this lovely ceremony during the wedding prelude all the way up through cocktail hour. Dj and Owner Les Kopasz supplied a lavaliere microphone for the officiant so everyone could easily hear the ceremony. Additionally, he provided courtesy announcements to guests with instructions on the unplugged ceremony and where to proceed after the ceremony concluded.

A Stunning Ballroom

The ballroom was lavishly decorated with floral and candles by our good friends at Fairbanks Floral. The color scheme was white, soft blue and soft purple with plenty of candles for a romantic glow. Soundwave provided 18 LED Wall Uplights in soft purple to complement the decor and we Pinspotted the tall centerpieces to really make them pop. Additionally, we provided a custom monogram above the fireplace.

Introductions

Background music played over our speakers as the guests entered the reception room to take their seats. DJ Les, who was behind our Designer Walnut Front Board, started off the introductions. He used our wired mic to announce the mother of the bride, the bride’s son, the groom’s two daughters, the flower girl, and the ring bearer during the song Every Mother’s Dream. Following them, the wedding party had some fun and entered to the song I’m Too Sexy. At last, it was time to welcome the new Mr. and Mrs. into the room to the song I Was Born to Love You. Little did these guests know the magic that was going to come next!

Magical First Dance

The most unforgettable first dance, was choreographed by Soundwave with our Spark Fountains and Dancing On A Cloud. The couple swept through our cloud feature to You Are The Reason! As if it was not already magical enough, our Spark Fountains were blasted strategically throughout their 1st dance song.

Playlist Ready

Following the introductions were welcoming speeches, and toasts to the bride and groom. Afterward, the guests enjoyed a tasty meal while listening to a custom playlist by the newlyweds featuring popular wedding songs like Amazed, A Thousand Years, All Of Me, On My Way To You, just to name a few.

Dance The Night Away

As the dinner concluded the cake cutting began, which was beautifully lit up by one of our Pinspots. During this time, DJ Les played his choice of music. After, he set the vibes for a party, dimming the lights and taking requests as the dance floor opened up. DJ Les played requests such as California Love, Can’t Stop The Feeling, Get Low, Hips don’t Lie, Hot In Herre, In Da Club, and some Black Eyed Pea’s. It was a night full of Cha Cha Slide, Macarena, and the famous YMCA.

Isleworth Sparkling Farewell

Give Me Everything by Pitbull came on for the newlyweds as their last dance with sparklers in tow! We hope these newlyweds and their guests had as much fun as we did! Congratulations to the new Mr and Mrs on their Magical Isleworth Country Club Wedding!

16 Oct Highland Manor Pop Song Wedding

Posted at 08:50h in Wedding DJs, LED Lighting Design

Jessica + Nicholas

This pop song wedding for Jessica and Nicholas was just as much fun as it was beautiful! A gorgeous summer day was the perfect backdrop for perfect pink dresses and dashing blue tuxedos. Throw in a donkey and we were sold!

A Ceremony Under the Oak

The ceremony took place in the shade of an oak tree at Highland Manor in Apopka, Florida. The theme was light and airy with the bridesmaids in perfect dusty pink dresses. As guests arrived, a selection of instrumental songs by the Soundwave Owner / DJ/MC Les Kopasz played. Then, an instrumental version of Marry You, by Wedding Music Experts triggered the start of the wedding party processional. I Get to Love You by Ruelle filled the air as the stunning Bride walked to her Groom. To be sure everyone could hear, the officiant used our clip-on lavaliere microphone discreetly tucked on his clothing. After the “I Do’s,” the newlyweds were pronounced Husband and Wife and departed the ceremony to The Rest of Our Lives by the Light Heat.

Poppin’ Cocktail Hour & Reception Introduction

In the pre-function area, guests enjoyed a 2000s pop instrumental over conversations and drinks. Afterward, guests moved into the softly lit ballroom with pink hues provided by Soundwave Entertainment. To provide the newlyweds and their guests with top-notch entertainment, we had our reception system, one wire, one wireless mic, and Dance Party Lights. DJ Les played Dear Future Husband by Meghan Trainor played while the new Mr. and Mrs. entered the ballroom.

A Lovely Celebration

After the introduction, it was time to begin the wedding traditions. Under a sparkling chandelier, the newlyweds danced their first dance to Blessed by Thomas Rhett. A love pop selection adorned the background during their meal and You Are the Best Thing by Ray LaMontagne played while the couples cut into their cake. The Theme from a Summer Place by Percy Faith Orchestra, accompanied the father and Bride dance while What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong was the selection for the Groom and his mother.

Top Pop Song Hits & Farewells

After the wedding traditions were over, DJ Les opened the dance floor, and requests for popular songs like, Fancy Like, Pour Some Sugar on Me, and Sweet Home Alabama played. Then, DJ Les really got the party started with fun selections like Cupid Shuffle, The Electric Slide, and Wobble! As the newlyweds and guests danced the night away, it was time for Sweet Caroline with a sparkler farewell to end the night with their guests. As their last private dance between the newlyweds said, it was a wonderful night at this Highland Manor 2000s pop song mix wedding. Congratulations to the lovely newlyweds!

04 Oct Romantic Wedding at Bella Collina

Posted at 09:00h in Wedding DJs

On a breathtaking Saturday night in August, Ana and Neil exchanged wedding vows in front of family and friends at Bella Collina. This is one of the most romantic wedding venues in Central Florida with a Mediterranean vibe. Sparks flew from this couple from the altar to the dance floor and the exit at the end of the night! We loved celebrating with you!

Bella Collina Romantic Lawn Ceremony

The wedding began with Sweet Child of Mine as the wedding party walked down the aisle to their places. Next, the bride took her first step down the aisle to a beautiful rendition of Can’t Help Falling in Love With You, by Haley Reinhart. Ana met Neil at the altar and the two exchanged their vows in front of 180 guests. After their first kiss as husband and wife, the newlyweds walked hand in hand to their future while “Welcome to the Jungle” by Guns n Roses.

Introducing the Newlyweds with DJ Ray Vales of Soundwave Entertainment

Cocktail hour was over and it was time to head to the ballroom for the reception. The entire ballroom was elegantly draped. Soundwave provided 32 LED Lights in a warm candlelight glow. We also provided a pinspot on the wedding cake to illuminate its beauty.

It was time for formal introductions of the wedding party. “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley played as the bride and groom’s parents danced into the reception. Next, it was time for the wedding party to get the party started as they walked out to “Gasolina” by Daddy Yankee! Last but not least, the bride and groom made their grand entrance full of bad bunny energy to “Mia” by Bad Bunny.

Now it was time to slow things down and showcase the love between Ana and Neil. They slow-danced to “Love Someone” by Lukas Graham for their first dance as a newly married couple. It was a beautiful moment to watch and their love radiated throughout the room.

Dinner and Dancing

The toasts began and it was time to eat! DJ Ray Vales provided a mix of Latin and American love songs through dinner. Right after the cake cutting the bride and her father shared a heartfelt dance to “Yo Primera La Ama.” Next, the groom and his mother shared a heartwarming dance to “Simple Man“! There wasn’t a dry eye in the room.

After a few heartfelt moments, it was time for a little fun. “Danger Zone” played while the groom removed the garter and “Another One Bites the Dust” played while he threw it to the men. Next, it was time to see which lucky lady was going to catch the bouquet. “Man I Feel Like a Woman” by Shania Twain rang out over the speakers.

Finally, the lights dimmed and it was time to dance the night away. La Hora Loca with DJ Ray was a hit with a mix of American and Latin Songs. The dance floor was packed and everyone was sporting their best moves!

Special Moment for the Newlyweds

At last, the night came to an end and the guests danced a final song to “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey before leaving the reception area. While it may have been time for everyone else to leave, the newlyweds shared a private dance to “Galway Girl” by Ed Sheeran. Soaking in the day together and enjoying each other’s company as husband and wife was a beautiful touch. As they made their way outside, their guests were waiting and sparks flew as they walked hand-in-hand to their new future together!

01 Aug Romantic Ceremony + Hora Loca Reception – Highland Manor Wedding

Posted at 09:00h in Wedding DJs

Lisa and Daniel perfectly matched romance and excitement with their May 29, 2022 wedding at the Highland Manor in Apopka, Florida. Their day started with a peaceful outdoor ceremony and the night ended with Spark Fountains and Hora Loca dancers. We loved celebrating with Lisa and Daniel and are so happy that we get to now share it with you!

Exchanging Wedding Vows Under a Shady Tree at Highland Manor

The couple hosted their wedding ceremony on the grounds of the Highland Manor. Guests enjoyed a calm breeze while relaxing under the canopy of an old tree that hung with Spanish moss.

In respecting the intimate, unplugged ceremony, our team used a minimal sound design that allowed guests to hear the ceremony without detracting from the natural ambiance. The officiant, who was actually the groom’s father, wore a lavaliere microphone discreetly on his suit. We staged a single microphone on a stand to the side of the couple for a guest reading.

Lisa walked down the aisle to Over the Rainbow from The Wizard of Oz (version by 101 Strings Orchestra.) She and Daniel exchanged their vows together in front of family and friends, and then sealed their promised with rings and a kiss. After the father of the groom pronounced them to be husband and wife, Lisa and Daniel walked back up the aisle to Good Life (Radio Edit) by Kanye West (ft. T-Pain.)

Introducing the Newlyweds with Soundwave Entertainment

After guests enjoyed cocktail hour, it was time for everyone to head into the ballroom and find their seats.

The Soundwave LED Lighting team highlighted the best parts of the Highland Manor space with a series of lighting elements. We provided 18 Wall Uplights in a candlelight color creating a warm and romantic feel. Pinspotting highlighted the newlywed table and wedding cake. And finally, our dance lights and our new SPARK FOUNTTAINS added excitement and surprise!

Soundwave DJ Ray Vales was on hand to kick off the evening with style and fun. As he played Bring ‘Em Out by TI, DJ Ray introduced the wedding party along with the new Mr. and Mrs. Nucete!

The newlyweds entered the center of the dance floor and enjoyed their first dance as husband and wife to Alicia Keys’ If I Ain’t Got You. As soon as they began dancing, Soundwave set off the Spark Fountains which made for both a poignant moment and a beautiful photo opportunity.

After the first dance, everyone enjoyed a welcome from the bride and groom, toasts, and a blessing by the mother of the bride. A buffet dinner followed and guests dined to a Guardians of the Galaxy music mix.

Lisa and Daniel cut their wedding cake to Cut the Cake by Average White Band. Then, guests enjoyed both the mother-son and father-daughter dances.

When it was time to bring more guests onto the dance floor, DJ Ray invited couples out for the anniversary dances. Throughout a series of songs, guests who had been married for 30+ years were invited to dance, followed by guests married for 25+ years, and so on. The dance floor filled with couples in no time! When the anniversary dances ended, DJ Ray opened the dance floor to everyone. It was time to party!

Feeling the Celebration with an Hour Loca

The party kicked up a notch during the Hora Loca. An LED robot and dancer entered the dance floor and got everyone on their feet! DJ Ray helped to amp up the party vibe with a mix of Latin and American songs that kept the crowd going wild, of course the Spark Fountains added the excitement.

The hora loca ended, but the dancing didn’t! DJ Ray took requests and had everyone dancing long into the night.

Finally, it was time for the party to end. Guests danced a final song to Mr. Brightside by The Killers before leaving the reception area. When they were all alone, Lisa and Daniel enjoyed a final dance in private to Taylor Swift’s Love. We broke out the Fountain Sparklers one last time and gave the newlyweds an ending to their wedding that we hope they never forget!

07 Jul Handsome Tropical Wedding at Paradise Cove

Posted at 16:07h in Wedding DJs, LED Lighting Design

John and Adam’s handsome tropical wedding took place at Paradise Cove. The grooms’ celebration was nothing short of fun from beginning to end. They truly made March 7, 2022 a memorable night for all of their guests. From the ceremony to the grooms’ exit, we were ready to create the party atmosphere that they wanted.

Tropical Ceremony

The groom’s selected each song for the ceremony including prelude songs. An assortment of piano covers by The Piano Guys set the mood for their tropical union.

Getting the Party Started

The Groom’s made their grand entrance into the Key West styled pavilion at Paradise Cove. They danced to Love Like This by Ben Rector. John and Adam then welcomed their guests to their tropical celebration before a fabulous meal by Arthurs Catering.

Everyone on the Dance Floor

Once the guests’ bellies and hearts were full, it was time to get everyone on the dance floor. Soundwave DJ Les Kopasz played throwbacks from the 80s to the 2000s and mixed them to really pump up the crowd. The grooms and guests danced the night away until it was time to say goodnight. And of course, there was no better song to end the night with other than Bye Bye Bye by NSync! Congratulations to John and Adam on your special day, we loved celebrating it with you!

26 Jun Romantic Blush Wedding at Margaritaville Resort

Posted at 07:54h in LED Lighting Design, Wedding DJs

Margaritaville Wedding

Nicole and Jason’s wedding at Margaritaville Resort on March 26, 2022 was a perfect mix of romance and glamour. We always love working our magic at Margaritaville Resort and celebrating our couples. Nicole and Jason’s wedding was no exception!

Romantic Cocktail Hour

The newlywed’s cocktail hour was held in the tropical outdoor space. Guests enjoyed a summer pop vocalist mix by Soundwaves DJ and Owner Les Kopasz. Following the cocktail hour at this Margaritaville Resort wedding, guests moved to the Grand Ballroom. The room was beautifully decorated with romantic roses, gold accents, and white linen. Details glowed under the soft highlights of our 24 LED Wall Uplights. We also created a Monogram in Lights that was projected on the main focal wall.

Glamour in Paradise and Surprise Spark Fountains

DJ Les Kopasz added to the glam when he introduced the wedding party from our upgraded all-white sound system with enhanced dance lights…we call her The Optimus! The newlyweds shared their first dance to From the Ground Up by Dan and Shay. As the bride and groom swayed to their 1st dance, Soundwave remotely set off two Spark Fountains. Spark Fountains are totally safe and smokeless, and cold to the touch; the technology is amazing. The guests were in awe as the sparks shot 10 feet in the air on the left and right of the couple creating a spectacular visual display! It was a picture-perfect moment for a magical night!

DJ Les was given creative liberty to choose most of the playlist, so he had a blast with keeping the dance floor packed as the guest had fun with glow sticks. As the night wore on, guests danced to a collection of classic hits and new tunes. Finally, it was time for everyone to say goodnight. Guests headed outside to wait for the newlyweds, and Nicole and Jason enjoyed a private last dance in a quiet ballroom. We had so much fun celebrating the newlyweds at their Margaritaville Resort wedding – congratulations to Nicole and Jason!

09 Jun Dusty Blue Lake Mary Events Center Wedding

Posted at 14:12h in Wedding DJs, LED Lighting Design

Geena and Mike’s Central Florida wedding was a lovely and fun affair from beginning to end. Held on March 26, 2022, their wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center featured plenty of opportunities for unique lighting designs from our experts at Soundwave. This is always a fun venue to transform and we were excited to return to one of our favorite stomping grounds.

Soft like the sky in lighting design
Geena and Mike opted for an intimate ceremony on their special day. Their ceremony space featured floor-to-ceiling windows and endless amounts of natural light. In the ballroom, we brought gentle color our LED lights, which illuminated the room in a quiet blue that reflected the wedding colors. Our Pinspots highlighted the newlywed table and the wedding cake. We also used the lighting design to frame the newlyweds’ silver accents. From every detail, we complemented Geena and Mike’s vision for their wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center.

Cool in blue
After the ceremony at the all-white floral trellis, it was time to get the party started. Soundwave Entertainment’s DJ David Regueiro set the stage for a grand entrance into the ballroom. As guests took their seats, Raise Your Glass, by Pink kicked off the wedding party introductions and the reception. DJ David introduced the newlyweds just before they shared their first dance as husband and wife to Lifetime, Justin Bieber.

When the bride becomes the DJ
As the night went on, guests enjoyed a few surprises from this fun bride and groom. At one point, the bride even took a turn behind the DJ booth! Geena was a natural at having fun on the mic and giving her friends and family some dance mixes. The laughter was contagious as the guests danced the night away. Celebrations ended with final final closing song of Don’t Stop Believing, Journey. Then, it was time to really say “don’t stop believing” in this magical evening with a sparkler sendoff for Geena and Mike.

18 May Vintage Country Wedding at Luxmore Grande Estate

Posted at 14:16h in Wedding DJs

Michelle and Rylan celebrated their vintage country wedding March 26, 2022, at the lavish Luxmore Grande Estate. This wedding was near and dear to our hearts as Michelle was a previous Orlando wedding planner we used to work side by side with very often. It’s always an honor when fellow industry experts choose Soundwave to be part of their wedding!

A Match Made in Heaven

Above all that we saw at the wedding, Michelle and Rylan’s love for each other stood out the most. You could feel the attraction between them the moment you entered the room! It was no surprise that they chose chic, timeless pieces for their wedding attire, decor and playlists. The vintage-inspired gown with lace detailing, the bowties with the suits, the elegant tablescapes and floral arrangements worked together to tie in the vintage country wedding theme. The cherry on top was the throwback love songs that played all night long! Peppered with, of course, country music.

“I Do”

First, the bride and groom gave the people what they wanted with a beautiful, heartfelt ceremony. The vintage country wedding was off to a great start. A harpist played as Michelle floated down the aisle toward her groom. She and her father wore matching grins from ear to ear. Their union was sealed with a kiss, and cocktail hour began. DJ Justin stepped up with a custom mix of instrumental favorites, dating all the way back to the ’60s. With such a wide variety of music, it was important to maintain the vibe. That’s why we carefully selected each piece of music with care specifically for their event. It was a seamless transition. First, we were hearing a harpist play live during the ceremony. Next, we’re sipping cocktails to instrumental versions of our favorite vintage hits by Elvis Presley, The Bee Gees and more.

Wedding Bliss

Next, we moved into the grand ballrooml where more vintage country wedding details awaited with perfect southern charm. But first, we had a touch of modern. I’m On Top of the World, by Imagine Dragons welcomed the parents and grandparents for the first part of introductions. Second, Bring Em’ Out, by TI was the backing track to our newlywed’s arrival to the party. They went right into their first dance, Keeper of the Stars. From there, it was back to back greatest hits ranging from our all-time country faves to classic love songs. The bride and groom requested songs like Love Shack, by the B-52’s, My Best Friend, by Tim McGraw, and Sweet Caroline, by Neil Diamond. DJ Justin served us nothing but vibes up until Don’t Stop Believing, by Journey came on as the last dance.

Parting Is Such Sweet Sorrow

Finally, the time has come to say goodbye. The guests gathered their things and prepared to send off the new bride and groom out on the patio. But first, Michelle and Rylan stole away for one last intimate moment. I Crossed My Heart, by George Strait was the bride and groom’s private dance. And just like that, holding each other arm in arm, their vintage country wedding ended the very same way it had began.

14 May Elegant Wedding with Party Vibes at Mission Inn

Posted at 08:16h in Wedding DJs, LED Lighting Design

April showers bring May flowers, but on April 2, 2022 the showers brought a change of plans! Sandra and Nick were all set to have a gorgeous outdoor ceremony for their elegant wedding with party vibes at Mission Inn. But the rain quickly brought the ceremony indoors! Our team had no problem switching gears and we seamlessly transitioned to an indoor ceremony. Thankfully, none of the elegance was lost. And soon, guests were drinking and dancing with the bride and groom for a night to remember.

The Set Up

Ceremony location change? No problem! We set up our ceremony system, complete with a speaker and lavaliere mic for the officiant in the ballroom, among the reception tables. La Hacienda at Mission Inn is a gorgeous setting for any event, but this elegant wedding with party vibes was next level. The themes of blue and gold shone beautifully throughout. Our 18 LED wall uplights set to soft blue tied the whole look together. What a difference they made to the ambiance! The cake was highlighted with 1 pinspot. To complete everything, the bride and groom’s names were displayed on the wall in lights.

Saying “I Do”

While Sandra and Nick might have been disappointed with the rain changing their plans, they sure didn’t look it! We could tell that they were excited to be married, and that was what mattered most to them. The show must go on! As live music from a harpist floated gently through the air, the elegant wedding with party vibes was underway. Finally, the couple went from engaged to married as the officiant called for a kiss. After, their guests cheered with teary eyes.

Can We Dance Yet?

With a quick transition to reception, guests found their seats in the ballroom. It was time for this elegant wedding to turn up the party vibes! First, DJ David Regueiro put on I’ve Got A Feelin’ by the Black Eyed Peas and announced the wedding party and newlyweds. Sandra and Nick went right into their first dance to Growing Old with You by Restless Road. After the parent dances, there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. We loved sharing in these sweet, sentimental moments! Meals were served to a custom playlist of instrumental music. The couple cut their wedding cake to Sugar by Maroon 5.

Turn It Up!

After cutting their cake, the bride and groom gave a thank you speech to their guests. Next, DJ David played the anniversary dances to honor the couples who were in attendance. After all, marriage was the reason that we were all together that day! Finally, the lights turned down and we knew what that meant! A high-energy mix blew through the room with hits like Baby Got Back by Sir Mix a Lot, Electricity by Dua Lipa, Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, and What is Love by Haddaway. The mix was absolutely perfect for their elegant wedding with party vibes. Next, The Cupid Shuffle had everyone up on their feet. And Wobble had us heading to the bar for another drink! DJ David kept it comin’ with more from 70s rock, the 80s and 90s, early 2000’s chart-toppers, and current hits.

Say Goodbye

What a beautiful evening this elegant wedding with party vibes had been. DJ David called for the last dance. Don’t Stop Believing by Journey played like an anthem and all of the guests joined together on the dancefloor. The guests sang and danced their hearts out! After the final song, guests gathered their belongings and got ready for the send-off. Meanwhile, the new couple shared a private moment on the dancefloor. With the entire wedding ballroom to themselves, This Is It by Scott McCreery gave them a quiet, intimate moment to take in their night together. Finally, they ran outside under a shower of sparklers and shared one final kiss at their elegant wedding with party vibes. Then, with very full hearts, they went off to start their life together.

02 May Romantic Winter Wedding at The Alfond Inn

Posted at 21:18h in Wedding DJs, LED Lighting Design

In the last few weeks of Florida winter, on February 25, 2022, Rebecca and Aaron tied the knot at The Alfond Inn, Winter Park. The couple selected a gorgeous color palette of deep colors like black, gold and crimson throughout their outdoor ceremony and indoor reception. In addition, they requested fun pop hits all about love from artists like Coldplay and Taylor Swift. The combination was perfect for their romantic winter wedding, and we loved every upbeat moment!

But First, Set Up

Hours before all the festivities, Soundwave Entertainment arrived onsite with our crew. First, we set up the officiant’s lavaliere microphone and speakers for the outdoor ceremony. Meanwhile, the ballroom was quickly becoming a romantic winter wedding wonderland. Alongside the rich colors on the tabletops, we set up Centerpiece Pinspots Lights to illuminate the beautiful floral. The walls appeared to glow with soft candlelight thanks to our 24 LED Uplights set to Candle Light Color. This addition has always been a popular choice among our clients, and it added so much depth and warmth to Rebecca and Aaron’s wedding! With the reception sound system, we also set up our Optimus Luxury Sound System. This is an all white, grand sound system offered exclusively by our very own, DJ Les Kopasz.

Let the Ceremony Begin

To start the ceremony, “Ladies and gentlemen, the ceremony is beginning” was announced gently over the speakers. Guests quickly finished their mingling and turned their attention toward the aisle. Dearly Beloved – Kingdom Hearts, by Vitamin String Quartet welcomed the guests of honor and wedding party. Next, A Thousand Years, by The Piano Guys stirred the emotions of everyone in attendance as Rebecca glided down the aisle on her father’s arm. After the vows and the kiss, Whole Lives, by Jake Scott ushered the ceremony out into the cocktail hour. While guests enjoyed hors d’oeuvres, Soundwave played a custom instrumental mix of love songs from both old and new artists – perfect for a romantic winter wedding.

Celebration Central

Never Gonna Give You Up, by Rick Astley played as the wedding party rick-rolled down into the reception area. This fun energy continued through the romantic winter wedding after an intimate moment between the bride and groom. If You Love Her by Forest Blakk ft. Megan Trainor was the anthem for the newlywed’s first dance. Then came speeches, the meal, dances with the parents, and the cutting of the cake. Finally, it was time to dance!

Get Up Outta’ Your Seat!

DJ Les fired off hits from Taylor Swift, classics from the ’80s, jams from the ’90s, hits from the 2000s and today’s chart-toppers. We even got some great photo ops with crowd participation dances like Cha Cha Slide and Cupid Shuffle. It was such a fun, flirty atmosphere we won’t soon forget. DJ Les made the call for last dance, and everyone poured onto the dance floor for a wild round of Party in the USA, by Miley Cyrus. Then, we dropped it way back, with slow, soft music as guests left the reception to line up for the farewell. But first, Rebecca and Justin shared a private last dance to Come Away with Me. Finally, they made their way outside to their waiting guests, and ran off hand-in-hand into their future together.
