Wedding Reception at the Addison Reserve

Corey and Deanna Oliver celebrated their wedding reception at the Addison in Boca Raton, FL on October 29, 2011.  What a great wedding this was.  There was alot of dancing before and after the main course and during dinner Corey had me play a photo montage for Deanna which was shown to all of the guests.  As the guests were being seated I lined the bridal party up for the grand entrance.  All 28 of them!!!  The bridal party entered to Bring 'Em Out by T.I. then the bride and groom entered to The Time by Black Eyed Peas.  Corey and Deanna chose Me and You by Kenny Chesney as their first dance.  Soon after Deanna Danced with her 2 favorite Uncles (Charlie and Dominick) and Corey danced with his mom to Your The Inspiration by Chicago.  The toasts were given by the 2 best men Rudy and Terry and by the maid of honor Nicole. The first course was salads so towards the end of salads and before the main course, Deanna requested that we do a mini-set for the guests to dance.  Then after dinner we showed the slide show.  It worked perfect.  Deanna did provide me with an excellent list of songs both for dinner and dance.  After the cake cutting and the garter/bouquet toss everyone got back to the dance floor.  Corey and Deanna seemed so happy as they danced along with their friends and family.  Towards the end of the evening Deanna's uncle Charlie made a touching speech to Deanna and Corey and he requested a song for Deanna's uncle John that passed away.  It would have been his birthday the day of the wedding.  The song that uncle Charlie requested was I.O.U. by Lee Greenwood.  The last song for the evening was I Had The Time of My Life from the Dirty Dancing Soundtrack.  What a great way to end a perfect wedding.  Special thanks to both families for the wonderful words during the speeches.  All of the immediate family members did have a chance to say a few words earlier that evening.

Also thanks to the staff at the Addison for keeping everyone dry from the rain during cocktail hour!!
