Wedding Reception at the W Hotel / Ft. Lauderdale
Antonella and Jonathan Berger celebrated their wedding at the W Hotel in Ft. Lauderdale, FL on 2/27/2016. This amazing wedding began with an outdoor ceremony overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. The weather was perfect as the happy couple tied the knot and sealed their love with a big kiss. The cocktail hour followed so all of the guests were invited for drinks and appetizers while I played a mix of Rat Pack favorites. I also took the time to decorate the ballroom with 24 amber colored, LED, wireless up-lights, dance floor lights and two monograms all provided by Eddie B & Company. After the cocktail hour all of the 130 guests were invited into the ballroom for the grand entrance and reception. Everyone found their seats as I lined up the very excited 19 member bridal party for the grand entrance. Antonella chose Turn Down For What by Lil Jon for the bridal party entrance and Levels by Avicii for her and Jonathan's entrance. The first dance was to Giving It All To You by Haley and Michaels then Antonella danced with her dad to Lauretta Mia by Enrico Musing and Jonathan danced with his mom to A Song For Mamma by Boyz II Men. The toasts were given by Jeanine (maid of honor) and Mark (best man), then Antonella's dad Mr. Tuccillo and Jonathan's dad Mr. Berger gave the welcoming speeches. All of the guests found their seats then the first of a 3 course meal was served. Antonella did provide me with a great play list that included top 40, freestyle, classic rock, hip-hop and 80's dance hits. Great mix of genres for this fun and energetic group. I love when the dance floor is packed all night!! The only time we took a break was when the cake cutting and garter/bouquet toss were performed. Amazing night had by all and I'm glad I had a big part in that. The closing songs for the evening were Don't Stop Believing by Journey and Falling In Love With You by Haley Reinhart. Congrats to Antonella, Jonathan and the entire Berger and Tuccillo families. Special thanks to the great staff at the W Hotel for their 5 Star service.
