Wedding & Reception at the Riverside Hotel

Sawyer and Justin Antonoff celebrated their wedding at the Riverside Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on 3/23/2023.  This amazing wedding began with an outdoor ceremony in the courtyard of the New River.  Approximately 75 close friends and family members witnessed the happy couple tie the knot then they were all invited to the 8th floor for the cocktail hour and reception.   The cocktail hour music was provided by a separate vendor as we were contracted for the ceremony and reception only.  I took the time to decorate the ballroom with 20 amber, LED, wireless up-lights, dance floor lights and a monogram with their names and the date all provided by Eddie B & Company.  As all of the guests entered the ballroom I lined up the 16 member bridal party for the grand entrance.  Sawyer chose We Are Family by Sister Sledge for the parents intros, Bring 'Em Out by T. I. for the bridal party intros and Forever by Chris Brown for her and Justin's intro.  The first dance was to Fooled Around And Fell In Love by E. Bishop then Sawyer danced with her dad to My Little Girl by T. McGraw and Justin danced with his mom to Humble and Kind by T. McGraw.  The toasts were given by Kyanne (MOH) and Paul (BM) then Sawyer's mom gave the blessing of the meals.  Everyone found their seats and prepared for a 3 course meal.  Sawyer did provide me with a play list that included top 40, country tunes, Motown, oldies and a few 2000s dance hits.  Excellent mix of genres for this very fun group of guests.  They filled the dance floor after dinner and they barley took a break.  The cake cutting and the garter/bouquet toss were performed as the evening progressed but the dance floor was the place to be that night.  Justin surprised his dad with a special request which was Father & Son by Cat Stevens then I played See The End by Seven Lions as the entire group went outside for a sparkler exit.

Congrats to Sawyer, Justin and the entire Antonoff and Wiles families.

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