Katie and Blaise Elkes celebrated their wedding at the Parkland Country Club in Parkland, FL on 11/6/2021. This amazing wedding began with an outdoor ceremony over-looking the golf course. After the happy couple tied the knot all of the guests were invited to the club house bar for the cocktail hour. I played a mix of Rat Pack favorites while everyone mingled and enjoyed drinks and appetizers. Myself and Lindsay also took the time to decorate the ballroom with 20 amber, LED, wireless up-lights, dance floor lights and our "Open Air" photo booth all provided by Eddie B & Company. As all of the guests entered the ballroom I lined up the 24 member bridal party for the grand entrance. Katie chose Sandstorm by Darude for the bridal party intros and Forever by Chris Brown for her and Blaise's intro. The first dance was to Perfect by Ed Sheeran then Katie danced with her dad to My Girl by The Temptations. Everyone found their seats and prepared for a 3 course meal but not before Katie's parents, Blaise's dad and Lauren (maid of honor) and Brandon (best man) gave the toasts and speeches. Katie did provide me with a great play list that included top 40, EDM, country and oldies. The energy in that room was incredible and they danced non-stop until the Food Truck arrived in the parking lot. LOL!!!! The closing song for the evening was Don't Stop Believing by Journey as all of the remaining guests lined up outside for a sparkler send-off.
Congrats to Katie, Blaise and the entire Elkes and Raiger families.
Special thanks to the staff at the Parkland Country Club for always providing exceptional service.
