Wedding Reception at Benvenutos

Christina and Andrew Tirado celebrated their wedding at Benvenuto's of Boynton Beach, FL on 2/17/2023.  This amazing wedding had it all from an outdoor ceremony in the courtyard to a cocktail hour at the atrium bar to a full blown reception inside the ballroom.  Approximately 125 guests witnessed the ceremony then they were all invited to the cocktail hour.  I played a mix of Rat Pack favorites while they all mingled and enjoyed drinks and appetizers.  I also took the time to decorate the ballroom with 20, amber, LED, wireless up-lights and dance floor lights all provided by Eddie B & Company.  As all of the guests entered the ballroom, I lined up the 22 member bridal party for the grand entrance.  Christina chose We Are Family by Sister Sledge for the parents and grandparents intros, Bootylicious by Beyonce for the bridesmaids, Bring 'Em Out by T.I. for the groomsmen and Run To The Playoffs by David R. for her and Andrew's intro.  The first dance was to Slow Jam by Usher & Monica then Christina danced with her dad to My Little Girl by Tim McGraw and Andrew danced with his mom to A Song For Mama by Boyz II Men.  The toasts were given by Ashley (MOH) and Michael (BM) then everyone found their seats and prepared for a 3 course meal.  Christina did provide me with a play list that included top 40, latin favorites, country and 90s and 2000s hip-hop.  Perfect mix of genres for this very energetic group of guests.  They filled the dance floor very quickly after dinner and it was a non-stop dance party for the rest of the evening.  The cake cutting and garter/bouquet toss took place as the evening progressed but it was definitely a heavy dance party all night.  We took the time to sing Happy Birthday to Camy (bridesmaid) and I did take requests for some of the newer group dances.  The closing song for the evening was Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond and that put a bow on a great Friday night Benvenuto's wedding.

Congrats to Christine, Andrew and the entire Tirado and Vellanti families.

Special thanks to the staff at Benvenuto's for always providing exceptional service.
