Wedding and Reception at the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens

Jovana and Jeffrey Ward celebrated their dream wedding at the Morikami Japanese Gardens in Delray Beach, FL on 1/2/2022.  This beautiful wedding began with an outdoor ceremony and cocktail hour overlooking the lake.  I played a mix of tropical tunes at the cocktail hour while all of the guests mingled and enjoyed drinks and appetizers.  Myself and Lindsay decorated 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 50 guests entered the ballroom I lined up the 11 member bridal party for the grand entrance.  Jovana chose Butter by BTS for the bridal party intros and Heads Will Roll by Yeah for her and Jeffrey's intro.  The first dance was to At Last by Etta James then Jovana danced with her dad to One Love by Bob Marley and Jeffrey danced with his mom to You'll Be In My Heart by P. Collins. The toasts and welcoming speech were given by both dads then all of the guests found their seats and prepared for a 3 course meal.  Jovana did provide me with a play list that included top 40, reggae, EDM and hip-hop.  The dance floor filled up a bit after dinner then Jovana had a bouquet toss (no garter) and the happy couple took the time to cut their wedding cake.  The closing song for the evening was Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen and that put a bow on a nice Sunday night Morikami wedding.  Congrats to Jovana, Jeffery and the entire Ward and Rutherford families.

Special thanks to Ilana and her great staff at the Morikami for always providing excellent service.
