Brian & Molly had a beautiful day for their wedding reception at Fox Banquet Hall in downtown Appleton. We were downstairs on the lower level. The room was decorated in accents of purple, it was beautiful! We provided a video system for their self created slide show which we showed on a 19” monitor, looping throughout the night on the guest table in the lobby.

Instead of the traditional glass clinking, Brian & Molly opted to have guests putt for a kiss. This made for some great dinner time entertainment. Following dinner, and toasts, the dancing began. We had several requests from Country to Top 40, and everything in between. Thanks Brian & Molly, we wish you nothing but the best!

On Saturday evening, we celebrated with Julie Gitter and Mike Beyer for their reception at the Darboy Club in Appleton. The reception was downstairs in the Heritage Room. Here is a highlight of their song selections:
Dinner Music- “Rat Pack Jazz” (Dean Martin, Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett etc.)
Mike & Julie’s First Dance- I Cross My Heart- George Strait
Julie and her Mom- A Song For Mama- Boys II Men
Mike & his Mom- Centerfield- John Fogarty (A Great FUN Fast Song)
Mike and His Daughter- My Little Girl- Tim McGraw
We opened the night following the usual dinner time activities with about 30 minutes of kids games, songs, and interaction to allow to continue conversation. The kids really had fun, and we had several compliments of how nice it was to do this so the adults could have some time. (A great thing to consider if you will have kids at your reception). Following the kids interaction, we transitioned into the Scavenger Hunt for the bridal party.
Once we transitioned into the dancing, guests were treated to a wide variety of music from old to new, putting an emphasis on 80’s and 90’s old school, as both Julie and Mike were in their mid 30’s ready to party to some music from this era.
We closed out the night with “Through The Years” by Kenny Rogers, where everyone remaining came out and danced. I wish both of you nothing but the best as you embark on a new journey together!

This past Sunday, we celebrated with Erin Regan and JB Clark for their reception at Bellini’s Italian Restaurant in downtown Madison. It was a wonderful night! We began with the introduction of the bridal party, followed by a family “sing a long prayer,” which is a long standing family tradition. Adam Shea Photography did a great job, I always enjoy working with Adam. The pictures below are ours, not his.
We opened the reception dancing portion of the night with a “scavenger hunt” for the bridal party, and then onto the feature dances. We had requests from Glenn Miller to Michael Jackson. Several compliments and requests. We wish you both nothing but the best!

Door County is beautiful in the summertime, and a gorgeous day it was for Jennifer Van Ryzin and John Daubner’s wedding reception in Ellison Bay, WI.
The reception was held on John’s mom’s farm in Ellison Bay, WI, which is just south of Gil’s rock in the northern tip of Door County. We kicked it off with a variety of tropical beach theme type music which covered everything from Bob Marley to Jimmy Buffett. It was a casual atmosphere, we did trivia about John and Jen for the table release to the buffet, and followed that with about 30-45 minutes of games for the little one’s after dinner. We transitioned to the scavenger hunt (a great way to start the night!) Guests danced throughout the night, with everything from the Train, to I gotta feeling, to CCR., at 10:30 guestd were treated to fireworks, which lit up the sky, along with a bon fire!
What a spectacular night! Congratulations to both of you as begin a new chapter in your life!

Last Saturday, we were at Julie and Craig’s wedding reception at the Holiday Inn in Neenah, WI. This venue is by far one of my favorite venue’s of all time. I love the staff, the load in and load out area, and the fact that the bar is close to the dance floor makes for a much easier evening of fun!
Craig and Julie were introduced right at the beginning in a grand entrance format to the Classical version of Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve, we transitioned from their into dinner music with a variety of music by Jason Mraz, Jack Johnson & Michael Buble, a very eclectic mix.
Following dinner, we continued the evening with approximately 30 minutes of games and interactive dances for the kids, which culminated into the scavenger hunt which got the bridal party and adults revved up for an evening of fun! Their first dance was Lucky by Colby Calliet and Jason Mraz!
We played a wide variety of songs throughout the night from Louis Armstrong to the Black Eyed Peas, and Phish. Craig & Julie, we wish you nothing but the best!
