Wedding Reception at the Riverside Hotel

Jennifer and Carlos Sosa celebrated their wedding at the Riverside Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on 10/13/2024.  Approximately 100 guests arrived to the Riverside and were directed to the ceremony on the New River courtyard.  After the happy couple made it official with a big kiss, they were all invited to the 8th floor for the cocktail hour and reception.  Myself and Leonard took the time to decorate the ballroom with 20 LED, wireless uplights, dance floor lights, 2 cold sparks, the Nimbus cloud effect, a monogram (with their initials) and our "Open Air" photo booth all provided by Eddie B & Company.  As all of the guests entered the ballroom, I lined up the 15 member bridal party for the grand entrance.  Jennifer chose All Of The Lights by Kanye for the bridesmaid's intros, The Chicago Bulls intro song for the groomsmen, Sky Full Of Starts by Coldplay for the best man and maid of honor and Love Tonight by Shouse for her and Carlos' intro.   The first dance was to Golden Hour by JVKE the Jennifer danced with her dad to I Turn To You by Christina Aguilera and Carlos danced with his mom to Te Amo Mama by Los Bukis.  All of the guests found their seats and prepared for a 3 course meal.  During dinner, the toasts were given by Gabrielle (MOH), Miguel (GM) and both sets of parents.  

Jennifer did provide me with a playlist that included top 40, classic rock, alternative dance music and EDM.  Perfect mix of genres for this very energetic group of guests.  As the night progressed with did have a cake cutting ceremony and the garter/bouquet toss for all to enjoy.  The closing song for the evening was my all-time favorite, New York, New York by Frank Sinatra...PRICELESS!!!

Congrats to Jennifer, Carlos and the entire Sosa family.

Special thanks to the staff at the Riverside Hotel for always putting a smile on every bride's face.
