Wedding and Reception at Jungle Island

On 3/3/2012 Ryan and Robin St. George celebrated an unforgettable wedding at Jungle Island in Miami, FL with approximately 100 close friends and family.  The event began with a breath-taking ceremony at the front entrance of the park.  Robin looked stunning as she walked down the isle with her dad to Shades of White by Jim Brickman.  After the ceremony everyone was treated to a cocktail hour which consisted of drinks, a sushi bar and plenty of appetizers.  Ryan and Robin decided to have 2 seperate grand entrances. One at the cocktail hour along with the bridal party and one at the reception along with the parents.  After the grand entrance at the reception Ryan and Robin danced to No One by Alicia Keys.  Soon after Robin danced with her dad to I Hope You Dance by Leann Womack and Ryan danced with his mom to Have I Told You Lately by Van Morrison.  The best man Kyle and matron of honor Keri made two touching champagne toasts then the first course was served.  Ryan and Robin put together a list of approximately 50 of their favorite songs.  They gave me the ok to use my personal touch and play my choice of songs at the times that I tought were most appropriate.  It worked perfectly as everyone at one time of the evening or another got a chance to dance.  Their list consisted of soft rock, classic rock, love songs, oldies, top 40 and disco.  As a result I couldn't get the guests to sit down after the main course.  They literaly danced until the very last song.  The highlight of the evening was watching Ryan's grandparents win the anniversary dance with a wopping 64 years of marriage and going strong.  Since Robin did not want to do the garter/bouquet toss she presented her bridal bouquet to Ryan's grandmother.  It was a moment that grandma will always remember.  Towards the end of the evening Ryan and Robin presented a potato bar buffet for anyone who was still hungry.  This was definitely a wedding to remember and the first at Jungle Island for me.  5 star service from the staff at Jungle Island and from the wedding planner Tracy.  Tracy contacted me a few days before the event and provided me with a time line that was on point from prelude music to the last dance.  Thanks again guys!!!!  Special thanks to Ryan and Robin for letting me be a big part of their special day and to the St. George, Douglas and Schoeller families.DJ Ray
