Wedding & Reception at the Riverside Hotel
Christine and Brad Lombardo celebrated their wedding at the Riverside Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on 10/29/2022. This amazing wedding began with an outdoor ceremony on the 8th floor veranda. Approximately 80 close friends and family members arrived to the hotel and were directed to that area. After the happy couple tied the knot all of the guests were invited to the cocktail hour for drinks and appetizers. The music for the cocktail hour was provided by our very own live saxophone sounds of Stuey Blue. We also took the time to decorate the ballroom with 20 amber, LED, wireless up-lights and dance floor lights all provided by Eddie B & Company. As all of the guests entered the ballroom I lined up the 14 member bridal party for the grand entrance. Christine chose I Gotta Feeling by the Black Eyed Peas for the entire bridal party intro song including her and Brad's. The first dance was to Perfect by Ed Sheeran then Christine danced with her dad to Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle and Brad danced with his mom to I Hope You Dance by Lee Ann Womack. The toasts were given by Gabriella (maid of honor) Nick (best man) and Christine's dad Mr. LeBlanc who also gave the welcoming speech. The first of a 3 course meal was served and the reception was in full swing. Christine did provide me with a play list that included top 40, country, 80s and 90s hits and 2000s club jams. Perfect mix of genres for this very excited group of guests. They packed the dance floor after dinner and it remained that way until the cake cutting and the garter/bouquet toss. I also played a special song for Christine's grand parents which was Through The Years by Kenny Rogers as the anniversary dance. The closing song for the evening was Dancing In The Moonlight by Top Loader and that put a bow on a fabulous Saturday night wedding.
Congrats to Christine, Brad and the entire Lombardo and LeBlanc families.
Special thanks to the staff at the Riverside for always providing 5 star service.
