Wedding Reception at the Islander Resort

Mallori and Ethan Sander celebrated their wedding at the Islander Resort in Islamorada Key, FL on 11/9/2025.  This amazing wedding began with a ceremony overlooking the Atlantic as approximately 60 close friends and family members witnessed the happy couple tie the knot.  The cocktail hour followed immediately after, and as I played a mix of tropical tunes, all of the guests mingled and enjoyed drinks and appetizers.  I took the time to decorate the reception area with 20 LED, wireless up-lights, dance floor lights and our signature Cold Spark effects all provided by Eddie B & Company.  As all of the guests found their seats at the dining area, I lined up the 18 member bridal party for the grand entrance.  Mallori chose Congratulations by Post Malone as the intro song for the bridal party along with her and Ethan.  The first dance was to Forever You and Me by The Teskey Brothers then everyone found their seats for a 3 course dinner and the blessings.  Uncle Jason gave the blessing of the meals and the reception was under way.  After dinner, Mallori danced with her mom, sister and brother to Landslide by Fleetwood Mac and with her grandpa Donny to Stand By Me by Ben E. King.  Ethan danced with his mom to Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw then the dance floor open up and it became a full blown dance party for the rest of the evening.  We only took a break for the cake cutting ceremony and for Mallori to present her bouquet to her mom...very touching moment.  The closing songs for the evening were Family Tradition by Hank Jr. and Closing Time by SemiSonic and that put a bow on a fabulous Sunday night Keys wedding.

Congrats to Mallori, Ethan and the entire Sander and Miller families.

Special thanks to the staff at the Islander Resort for always providing excellent service.
