Congratulations to D'Ann & J.T. Chavez on their wedding! The sweetest, funnest couple!
Randal was the DJ for their ceremony and reception at
La Cima Club in Irving. ReJana & Mike Krause of
BluDoor Studios were the awesome photographers on this one! I can't wait to see more of the pictures! Floral was provided by Cory Morrison of
Cocktails & Caviar.
We had the Picstrips.com photo booth there! All the pictures from the booth can be seen
here.

Congratulations to Amanda and Anthony!
We helped them with their reception at the place where Amanda works, the
Renaissance Worthington in downtown Fort Worth.
It was an all-star cast! Randal Stout was the disc jockey and master of ceremonies, our lighting company Lumen provided the lighting for the room, our Picstrips.com photo booth was there as well. Coordination was provided by Kristyn Hall of
Event Elements. Floral was provided by Tami Winn of
A Magic Moment.
The photo booth pictures may be seen online
here.
Randal has been providing the music for the UTA summer band camp dances for over fourteen years. This year we treated the kids by bringing in the Picstrips photo booth! Pictures are posted, please click
here to see them.
Congratulations Jessica & Chris! One of the funnest parties we've had a chance to help with. Pictures from the event are online
here.
Jessica & Chris had a great wedding at the
Old Red Museum in downtown Dallas. Kristyn Hall with
Event Elements provided the day-of coordination for wedding and did a fabulous job!
Randal Stout was the disc jockey and master of ceremonies and the party was more of a frat party than a wedding reception! We like it that way! Lighting was provided by our company, Lumen, as we showed off the packages that are now incorporated into Old Red's portfolio.
Highlights of the evening: Jessica & Chris had an awesome choreographed first dance to "Boom Boom Boom" by the Black-Eyed Peas ala MTV's Rock The Reception. Towards the end of the evening the "prop box" made it's appearance, filled with all kinds of goodies that Jessica & Chris brought with them. Cheesey? Not with this crowd--they wanted to party!

Katie & Chris were a fun couple that came referred to me from my ad in the Texas Jewish Post. Katie actually works at the paper! They held their ceremony and reception at the Southlake Hilton. Day-of coordination was handled by Ruth Spirer of Weddings & Events by Ruth.
So many stories! This couple had met dancing at dance clubs and the normal wedding fare was thrown at the window… We were glad to have helped them and proud of the review they send in.
Kathryn and Jack had their wedding ceremony and reception at
Marie Gabrielle Restaurant in Uptown. We always enjoy working with Lisa Yarbro and her staff. The food there is amazing if you have never been. Funny thing, my brother worked in that building for years and never ate on the fine dining side of the restaurant to know about the food.
Shari Johns of
As You Wish was our wedding planner and helped put together a great time of individuals to make things happen. The team included me to DJ both the wedding ceremony and reception and lighting. Jennifer Yarbro of
Jennifer Yarbro Photography did an outstanding job with photos, as witnessed by the photos she gave me to put in this post.
Photo Commentary
Shown here officiating is Marty Younkin of
Love Notes Weddings. We do approxmiately 20 to 30 ceremonies per year and we seem to do the majority of them with his company, and more often than not, Marty himself. He does have about fifteen ministers on his staff besides himself.
This wedding shows off the true beauty of the restaurant. The lighting that we did is very zen. The pictures show our Chinese lanterns hung outside on the patio above guest seating. Inside, Robin Brogan of Your Perfect Wedding by DiFiori created stunning centerpieces which we were asked to light. You will see other examples of our work at Marie Gabrielle which show just how much different the restaurant can be transformed elsewhere in our blog.

On February 14th we had an awesome wedding with Liz and Richard Hardy! The stage was set by our Dream Weddings wedding planner,
Micki Novak, who assembled an awesome team for the reception at the
Adolphus Hotel's Grand Ballroom featuring photographer
Edward Ramirez, videographer
LaDonna Aiken, and floral by Darren and Craig at
Fete des Fleurs.
Randal Stout acted as Master of Ceremonies and our lighting company, Lumen, provided the lighting for the event, which featured pinspot lighting for all the tables and a red color wash of the ballroom and dance floor, as seen in LaDonna's video above.
On Sunday the 12th we had a great wedding reception for Monica and Mike Mancuso. Their reception was held at the Stonegate Mansion in Fort Worth. We had a chance to work with some great people on this event including wedding planner Shari Johns of As You Wish Events, photographer Gary Donihoo of F8 Studio, and cinematographer Chris Jones of Mason Jar Productions.
We can't wait to see what the photographs look like because the event was stunning. Chris gave us the link to his preview video and told us to post it up here on the blog for all to see. The video definately shows off the lighting we had done for the ballroom at Stonegate. More to come.
There are so many people now watching shows such as Platinum Weddings and Who's Wedding Is it Anyway?, which is great. The shows incorporate many high-end ideas such as event lighting, which is a new arm of my company.
On September 1, 2007, Julie & Josh Ng got married at the Four Seasons. Their reception looked stunning. Here are a couple of pictures from that event. The pictures were provided to me by
Edward Ramirez, who is a great guy to work with.
This logo was created by one of their friends and sent to me in Photoshop .PSD format so that we could get it turned into a "gobo", which in this case was a glass negative that we insert into a special theatrical light to project the image.
The next picture shows how stunning the ballroom at the Four Seasons in Las Colinas was for their reception. For their event, we provided twenty LED uplights, pinspot lighting for thirty tables, dance floor lighting and we displayed their logo over the head table.
The LED lighting is computer controlled and at different points during dancing, we changed the color of the room with a touch of a button. Every time we changed the color, an audible "ooooh!" could be heard from the guests at the hotel.

For their holiday party last year, the Dallas office of
Resulte' Universal brought in Rock Star, my new interactive show. Rock Star will have it's own website soon (these things take time, effort and money). Rock Star features a full set which encompasses the dance floor filled with tons of lights synchronized with the music, plasma screens showing music video and live feed of the party on the dance floor, and even has the option of up to eight "Party Enhancers"--people hired specifically to get your guests out there and dancing even more than normal!
The party's theme was an 80's prom, and everyone involved played it up! My office mate Cory Morrison of
Cocktails and Caviar was hired to make it awesomely 80's, which included so many stars and mylar streamers, we felt like we were in the set of "Footloose." I hired a great photographer named
Eddy Guevara to capture the evening. He took candids and also take "prom photos" in front of a set that Cory had created. Rock Star played up the 80's Prom Theme by playing all types of totally 80's music videos and we even had a "couples skate" slow-song at some point during the evening. Resulte' played up the theme by everyone dressing the part and they even named the Prom King and Queen. This theme will be so hot this next year too!
Resulte' had their holiday party at the beautiful
Stonebriar Country Club in Frisco, TX. Susan Moore did a fabulous job making sure everything was taken care of!
