Wedding reception at Parkland Country Club

Riley and Michael Garofalo celebrated their dream wedding at the Parkland Country Club in Parkland, FL on 7/12/2025.  Approximately 140 guests witnessed a beautiful ceremony then they were all invited to the cocktail hour for drinks and appetizers.  While Riley and Michael posed for pictures with immediate family members, I decorated the ballroom with 20 LED, wireless uplights and dance floor lights all provided by Eddie B & Company.  As all of the guests entered the ballroom, I lined up the 27 member bridal party for the grand entrance.  Riley chose Gimme, Gimme by Abba as the intro song for the bridal party and Shipping Up To Boston by Drop Kick Murphy for her and Michael's intro.  The first dance was to Can't Help Falling In Love by Elvis Presley then Riley danced with her dad to Grapefruit, Juicy Fruit by Jimmy Buffet and Michael danced with his mom to Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw.  Everyone found their seats and prepared for a 3 course meal.  During dinner the toasts were given by Erin (MOH), Wyatt (BM) Scott Cochran (FOB) then Michael and Riley thanks everyone for attending their big day.  After dinner the dance floor opened up and it became a full blown dance party until the end.  I played a mix of top 40, latin classics, 90s and 2000s hip-hop and club bangers.  Perfect mix of genres for this very energetic group of guests that only took a break for the cake cutting ceremony.  As the reception continued we did have an anniversary dance and I did take requests for a few line dances.  The closing song for the evening was You Look Like You Love Me by Ella and Riley and that put a bow on a terrific Saturday night BANGER wedding.

Congrats to Riley, Michael and the entire Garofalo and Cochran families.

Special thanks to the staff at the Parkland Country Club for always providing extra special service.
