8/16/08 2 States 2 Weddings 2 Much Fun

You read it right C Squared Events had two weddings in two states on that day. I will start off with the first, Mickey and Alyssa. Mickey and Alyssa are friends of my wife and were getting married in Upstate New York. I was already booked to DJ a reception but they were more interested in the Event Design service we offered. Our design team met with them, and I consulted on Timeline and Music suggestions, helping them plan this wedding from Southern California.

Weddings are my life and I tend to forget that this is not the case for everyone else. When I showed up and asked "What do you want to do?", I found they needed some guidance in this area. I was more than happy to help. The star of this show was the Reception site a converted barn in the Finger Lakes region of New York. Our designers were able to offer suggestions to Mickey and Alyssa and then our team made it all a reality. Mickey and Alyssa wanted to create a Simple Elegance while maintaining the quaint charm that the location allowed.
Now I don't speak design, and this blog is a View Behind the Squared Booth, not a View Into Design, so I will wait til we get some pictures back from the photographer and let them tell the full story.

I am a Wedding entertainer and that was just what I was doing that same night at Coyote Hills Country Club. Jessica and Ryan were a couple that met me at the company I used to work for. When they found out I had went out on my own, they told me they wanted me and not some replacement DJ to serve as host for the event. I was very honored. I immediately connected with Ryan and Jessica and was very happy to be there for them on their big day. Both Ryan and Jessica graduated from Long Beach State University and Jessica is continuing her education at Cal State Fullerton as she is getting her masters in Education.

I personally think Coyote Hills was made to have decor lights used in reception there. Ryan and Jessica agreed and went with our Decor lighting package. The room absolutely sparkled. Their colors were Eggplant and Green, no I never made any Mighty Ducks comments, I utilized the eggplant and added some amber tones to give the room an elegant feel. The centerpiece was the monogram shined on the dance floor.

Once the party got started I had everyone dancing, young and old alike. Jessica's mom came up to me after the first dance set proclaiming I was doing a fantastic job and she had never seen a DJ get everyone involved like I was. I told her "I'm just getting started". At the end of the night the dance floor was just as packed. The limo arrived and whisked Ryan and Jessica away and they didn't want to leave. I did my farewell to them and most the guests turned and waved and then went back to dancing.
Fast forward to this past Sunday when I learned about a website called Wedding Wire kind of a Resource and Social Network site. It allows Vendors to create a profile page advertising the services they offer, as well as allows clients to review the services they received. After finding out about it, I went online to check it out, to my surprise Ryan and Jessica had already created a profile for me and left my first review.
