Wedding and Reception at the Marriott Hotel / Delray Beach

Dawn and Harley Kesselman celebrated their dream wedding at the Delray Beach Marriott in Delray Beach, FL on 7/9/2017.  As the approximate 130 guests arrived at the Marriott they were directed to the in-door ceremony.  Everyone cheered loudly when they tied the knot and made it official with a big kiss.  The cocktail hour took place outside of the ballroom.  I played a mix of tropical tunes while everyone mingled and enjoyed drinks and appetizers.  Myself and Chris took the time to decorate the ballroom with 24 amber colored, LED, wireless up-lights, dance floor lights, a monogram (with their names), a 55' plasma for a photo montage and our signature "Strike A Pose" photo booth all provided by Eddie B & Company.  When it was time to enter into the reception I lined up the 26 member bridal party for the grand entrance.  Dawn chose Happy by Pharrell for the bridal party entrance and Best Day Of My Life by American Authors for her and Harley's entrance.  The first dance was to How Long Will I Love You by Ellie Goulding then everyone came out to the dance floor for the traditional Hora dance.  Dawn danced with her dad to My Little Girl by Tim McGraw then Harley danced with his grandma Ann to Come Fly With Me by Frank Sinatra.  Everyone found their seats and prepared for the toasts and a 3 course meal.  The toasts were given by all of the grooms men, Jill (matron of honor) and all of the parents then Grandpa Abe gave the blessing of the Challah via video from New Jersey.  Dawn provided me with a short play list and asked me to have fun with her guests and to make them dance.  Well that was a pretty easy task!!  I played a mix of top 40, 80s and 90s hits, country, R&B and EDM.  Perfect mix for this fun group.  As a surprise to Dawn, her sorority sisters performed a song and I played a request for Dawn's grand parents which was With A Song In My Heart by Susan Hayward.  The cake cutting and the garter/bouquet toss were performed as the night progressed along with a few group dances.  The closing song for the evening was Save The Last Dance For Me by Michael Buble and that put a bow on a great Sunday night wedding!!  Congrats to Dawn, Harley and the entire Kesselman and Friedman families.  

Special thanks to the staff at the Marriott for always providing excellent 5 star service.
