Wedding Reception at the Sands Resort / Hyland Beach

Alex and Tony Chiarelli celebrated their wedding at the Sands Resort in Hyland Beach, FL on 9/24/2017.  The ceremony took place outdoors overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.  Approximately 40 close friends and family members witnessed a beautiful ceremony then were invited to the cocktail hour for drinks and appetizers.  I played a mix of tropical tunes while everyone mingled and posed for pictures.  As everyone entered the ballroom I lined up the parents and the happy couple.  Alex's parents entered to Breezin' by George Benson, Tony's parents entered to Fireball by Pitbull and Alex and Tony entered to Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC.  The first dance was to The Walk by Nikki Leonti then Alex danced with her dad to I Loved Her First by Heartland and Tony danced with his mom to a mix of Sweet Child Of Mine by Guns N Roses and International Love by Pitbull.  The toasts were given by Gabe and Mike then Alex's dad Mr. Pickens gave the welcoming speech with a prayer.  Everyone found their seats and prepared for a 3 course meal.  Alex did provide me with a play list that included top 40, country, classic rock and disco.  Perfect mix of genres for this fun group!!  After dinner the dance floor opened up and they rocked out till the end.  There was no garter/bouquet toss but the happy couple did cut their beautiful wedding cake and we did perform and anniversary dance.  The closing song for the evening was my all time favorite New York, New York by Frank Sinatra.  What a way you end a perfect wedding!  Congrats to Alex, Tony and the entire Chiarelli and Pickens families.

Special thanks to the staff at the Sands Resort for their excellent service.
