Wedding Reception at the Ritz Carlton Bal Harbor

Brandon and John Zimnox celebrated their wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Bal Harbor Miami Beach, FL on 6/8/2016.  The ceremony took place at the Betsy Hotel then all of the 60+ guests were invited to the Ritz for the cocktail hour and reception.  As the guests arrived they were greeted with drinks and appetizers at the cocktail hour while I played a mix of easy listening tunes for all to enjoy.  I also took this time to decorate the ballroom with Royal Blue LED, wireless up-lights and dance floor lights all provided by Eddie B & Company.   As everyone entered the ballroom I lined up the 4 member bridal party for the grand entrance.  Amanda (woman of honor), Jason (best man), Brandon and John all entered to Chapel Of Love by The Dixie Chicks then the happy couple danced to L.O.V.E. by Nat King Cole as their first dance.  John then danced with his mom to What A Wonderful World by L. Armstrong then everyone found their seats for a 3 course meal.  The toasts were given by Amanda and Jason then John's late father's friend Karl gave the welcoming toast and blessed the meals.  Brandon did provide me with a great play list that included top 40, disco, classic rock, 90s dance hits and Motown.  After dinner the dance floor got hot!!  The mix of genres were perfect for this group. There was no garter/bouquet toss but but Brandon and John did cut their beautiful wedding cake.   All of the guests had an amazing time and it was my privilege and honor to work this wedding.  The last song for the evening was Save The Last Dance For Me by Michael Buble...awesome closing song!!  Congrats to Brandon, John and the entire Zimnox and Goodall families.  Special thanks to the staff at the Ritz-Carlton for their 5 star service!!
