Grand Meridian Appleton Reception For Tom + Nicole

Ed Eaton • May 31, 2018

Packers Themed Wedding Reception

Sound Sensations Entertainment wrapped up the long holiday Memorial Day Weekend in Appleton at the Grand Meridian for Tom & Nicole's Wedding Celebration. Sue Lamers and her staff are always accomodating and wonderful to work with. Tom & Nicole's wedding colors were Navy and Gold, so we decked out the perimeter and head table of the Venue with Blue & Gold uplighting.

Tom & Nicole created a "Selfie Station" Photo Booth complete with a Packer Themed, Jordy Nelson cut out for photo's. I love it!

Tom & Nicole had a fantastic line up of pros who helped make it all come together:


Dessert: The Knotted Cone- Gelato Food Truck , Appleton
Caterer/Venue: The Grand Meridian, Appleton, WI
Photographer: Adam Shea Photography
Floral Arrangements:
Officiant: Dan Lawrenz
DJ/Entertainment: Ed Eaton, Sound Sensations Entertainment

We kicked off the reception with cocktail music featuring a wide variety of accapela and cover artists of modern songs. Artists like Anthem Lights, Home Free, Songs from Pitch Perfect and Boyce Avenue. Guests were treated to some fun trivia on our flat screen TV during the cocktail hour which featured a bridal scramble about Tom & Nicole.

The Bridal Party Introductions were themed to the Green Bay Packers complete with the bridal party wearing Packers Jersey's, and The G-Force theme.

Tom & Nicole made it clear that one of the most important elements of our wedding celebration is to have a packed dance floor from the beginning, and on their outline, that was immediately following dinner. Packed it was from song one to the end of the reception.

Our team really enjoyed working with Nicole and Tom, she always had a radiant energy about her, and was always enthusiastic!

We kicked off the dance part of the night with Nicole & Tom's first dance, which was choreographed to "Nothing Left to Lose" by Mat Kearney, what an amazing dance!
