Wedding Reception at the Pelican Grand Beach Resort / Fort Lauderdale

Danielle and Ralph's wedding was held at the beautiful Pelican Grand Beach Resort in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on Sunday, November 10th. The bridal party arrived early to take some pictures with the photographer by the water before the sun went down. The ceremony was held in on the rooftop overlooking the calm and crystal clear ocean. Guests began to arrive shortly after 4pm to watch the two exchange vows. The groom, accompanied by his parents, walked down the aisle to What a Wonderful World by Relaxing Piano Man, followed by the bride who walked down the aisle to Elvis Presley’s Can’t Help Falling in Love. Once the two were pronounced husband and wife, the new Mr. and Mrs. Estevez celebrated together while singing Sky full of Stars by Coldplay. After the cocktail hour, the guests were invited to the grand ballroom to find their seats before I introduced the bridal party and the newlyweds. At the couples request, the room was illuminated with beautiful rusty orange up lighting to match the bridesmaid dresses and centerpieces. The newlyweds walked in to Crazy in Love by Beyonce and Jay-Z and immediately joined hands in the center of the dance floor as they embraced each other and enjoyed their first dance to Dandelion by Ruth B. Following the first dance of the newlyweds, I invited Danielle’s father to join her for the father daughter dance to I Loved Her First by Heartland, concluding in a huge applause from all their guests. I then invited Ralph to lead his mother in their mother son dance to Her Little Man by Jami Grooms. After that it was a party for the rest of the night and everyone was dancing to my selection of latin and 2000s Hip Hop and other dance party favorites. Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Estevez. I had a great time partying with you guys - You rocked it! - DJ ELOW
