Wedding Reception at the Coral Gables Country Club

Katherine and Tyler Harrold celebrated their wedding at the Coral Gables C.C. in Miami, FL on 4/12/2015.  This wedding was huge and it began with a ceremony at a nearby church then all of the approximate 200 guests were invited to the Country Club for the cocktail hour and reception.  As the guests arrived they were treated with drinks, appetizers and a mix of Rat Pack favorites.  I took the time to decorate the ballroom with 24 amber colored, LED, wireless up-lights and dance floor lights all provided by Eddie B & Company.  I lined up the 34 member bridal party for the grand entrance while all of the guests entered the ballroom and found their seats.  Katherine chose Fireball by Pitbul for the bridal party entrance and Bittersweet Symphony by The Verve for her and Tyler's entrance. Then they all broke out into the Harlem Shake...PRICELESS!!.  Katherine and Tyler danced to All Of Me by John Legend for the first dance then Katherine danced with her dad to How He Loves by David Crowder Band and Tyler danced with his mom to My Wish by Rascal Flatts.  Katherine also took the time to have a special dance with her brother called Unconditionally by Katy Perry.  Soon after Ideybis and Jennifer (maids of honor) and Joseph (best man) gave the toasts and Maria Wizel gave the prayer before the meal.  Everyone seamed so excited for the happy couple that they didn't wait for the first course to be served.  The dance floor was busy right away!! Katherine did not provide me with a play list because she wanted me to play to the crowd.  I played a mix of top 40, dance classics, classic rock, EDM, salsa, merengue, reggaeton and bachata that evening.  And it was perfect!  Katherine and Tyler did take the time to cut their wedding cake and to have a garter/bouquet toss as the night progressed.  I also played a few group dances like the Cupid Shuffle and the Wobble.  The last song for the evening was No Hay Cama Pa Tanta Gente by El Gran Combo and that put a bow on an amazing evening.  Congrats to Katherine, Tyler and the entire Arencibia and Harold families.  Special thanks to the management and staff at the Coral Gables C.C.  Always a pleasure for me to work at this awesome venue.
