Wedding Reception at the Marriott Hotel / Marathon

Jherica and Tom Schanz celebrated their dream wedding at the Courtyard Marriott in Marathon Key, FL on 11/4/2023.  This amazing wedding began with a beach-side ceremony overlooking the Gulf.  Approximately 100 close friends and family members witnessed the happy couple tie the knot then they were all invited to the cocktail hour for drinks and appetizers.  Myself and Brandon decorated the reception area/tent with 20 LED, wireless up-lights, dance floor lights, a monogram with their names and the date, the Sparktakular Cold Spark effect and our Open Air Photo Booth all provided by Eddie B & Company.  As all of the guests entered the reception tent I lined up the 29 member bridal party for the grand entrance.  Jherica chose Can't Stop The Feeling by J. Timberlake for the parents intros, Man I Feel Like A Woman for the bridesmaids, Animal by Garrix for the groomsmen and Sweet Lovin' by Sigala for her and Tom's intro.  The first dance was to Who I Am With You by Chris Young then Jherica danced with her dad to Even Though I'm Leaving by Luke Combs and Tom danced with his mom to Thought You Should Know by Morgan Wallen.  Everyone found their seats and prepared for a buffet style dinner.  During dinner the toasts were given by Brett (BM) and Jackie and Stacie (MOH) then Tom and Jherica thanked everyone for attending their big day.  The dance floor was hopping after dinner and the non-stop dance party continued into the night.  I played a mix of top 40, classic rock, country and 80s and 90s dance hits.  The cake cutting was performed as the evening progressed along with a few couples dances.  The closing songs for the evening were High On Life by Garrix and We Found Love by Rihanna and that put a bow on a fabulous Saturday night Keys wedding.

Congrats to Jherica, Tom and the entire Schanz and Sborz families.

Special thanks to the staff at the Marriott for always providing extra special service.
