Elyse & Andrew

Elyse & Andrew Panjic were married and had their reception at the State Botanical Gardens of Georgia on Sunday July 11, 2010. Hallie Jane's was the caterer and Studio A Photography provided the pictures.

Every wedding is special, and I always strive to help couples realize their vision. Elyse and Andy had a delightfully unique vision. The ceremony was held in the Day Chapel, where I recorded the audio from the preacher, bride/groom, guitarist and pianist.




The reception followed immediately in the Visitor's Center. Elyse & Andrew selected special music for the cocktail/dinner time and for dancing. They compiled all of their selections and provided guests with a CD to take home, along with a sentimental rosemary plant.


Elyse & Andrew chose 4 uplights to match the wedding colors, which remained static during the entire reception, adding a wonderful ambience to the live plants. The Botanical Gardens has such an amazing atmosphere with the tropical plants surrounding guests, enhancing the beauty of any event. After Elyse & Andy's first dance, guests were invited to join in, and the beautiful couple enjoyed a final dance all to themselves as all guests moved to the lobby to see them off! What a wonderful wedding and reception!





Laura & Will

June 26, 2010

Laura & Will Hammond's reception was held at the Georgian Hotel, Ballroom & Palm Room on June 26, 2010. Trumps provided the delicious food and Wingate Downs was the photographer.

When I pulled up to the Georgian Hotel, I was extremely delighted to find a parking space right on Jackson Street. I was feeling like this was going to be an "easier" load-in at this venue. It didn't take long to eat my words when I discovered that the elevator was broken and would not be fixed for a few more days. Well, the show must go on. I'm sure I was a sight-to-be-seen, pulling carts up the front-entrance stairs! Despite the fairly major load-in setback, the setup, uplighting and extra-speaker were all set and ready before the first guests arrived.

Once the reception was underway, the memories of lifting speakers in the June heat quickly faded. The 3 custom edited first dances were beautiful. For the father-daughter dance, I took Georgia on my Mind - Ray Charles and You are So Beautiful to Me by Joe Cocker and spliced them together seamlessly. Maybe a pro-mashup is in the near-future ;)

After the formalities, pictures and cake-cutting, it was time for open-dancing. I tell you, that the 3 hours of dancing flew by, because the dance-floor was packed and everyone was having a blast!
Laura, Will, and their families certainly know how to party! What a wonderful reception! Enjoy a few pictures.







Lori & Andrew

Lori & Andrew Randall's June 12 reception was held at the Emory Conference Center in Atlanta.
the ECC handled the catering and decorations for the hall, Frank Gibson was the photographer.

The evening began with an outdoor cocktail hour in the beautiful ECC courtyard. After the introductions, Lori and Andrew danced to "She's Got a Way" by Billy Joel, one of my personal faves. During dinner, I projected their slideshow in the front corner. Since there was absolutely no way of running 60ft of RCA cable (audio) back to my setup, I decided to use a wireless pack to transmit the audio - flawless and no messy cords!

We kicked off dancing with the Anniversary Dance. It was Andrew's grandparents, married 57 years, who won. Once dancing music started, the dancefloor never stopped. The floor was packed the whole night, even after the newlyweds left! Lori and friends even danced a choreographed routine to "We're All in This Together" from High School Musical. Fabulous time! Enjoy the pictures.








Gemma & Matt

May 29, 2010: Gemma & Matt English were married and had their reception at the Tucker Plantation in Colbert, GA. They had two ceremonies, one Hindu and one Catholic, followed by a wonderful reception. I ran live sound for both ceremonies (via lav mic and wireless handhelds for readers) from a small booth in the back of the room. The Hindu ceremony was video recorded and fed live to my projector in the front, so the guests could easily see what was happening! The projector and screen were moved into the main reception room for the personalized slideshow after the ceremonies. The photographer was Jenny Evelyn, caterer was Trumps, florist was Gardenia Floral Design, and Athens Photo Booths was setup in back.









JJ Harris Field Day

JJ Harris Elementary Field Day Dance - May 14, 2010.
30 minutes for the younger kids (Pre-K to 2nd grade) and 45 minutes for the older kids (3-rd-5th). The teachers got in on the action and had a great time! Enjoy the pictures!





Benny & Rennata

Benny & Rennata Deutsch had their wedding reception at the Athens Country Club May 8, 2010. Photography by Anne Yarbrough, flowers by Jennie Evans Desgins. This was a really fun crowd with a lot of surprises up-their-sleeves for the guests. 11-year-old Walker led the Cha-Cha Slide, there were customized introductions, and an honoring of local policemen. Enjoy the pictures!





Madison Co. Prom

Madison County High School Prom
May 1, 2010
Classic Center - Grand Hall

What a great Prom! Hundreds of Madison Co. students had a fantastic time dancing to a huge variety of music....for 4 hours! Wow! County, Hip-Hop, Techno, Pop, and so much more kept everyone happy. I also love working in the grand hall because it is ridiculously easy to load in and out of. I had a great time, enjoy the pictures.







MonDon Prom

Classic Center - Olympia II Ballroom
April 17, 2010

Monsignor Donovan (MonDon) High School's Prom was a huge success! They picked a disco theme, complete with the disco ball, and 70's-inspired snacks and disco-decorations on the walls. The Prom King & Queen even had themed crowns - fantastic! Of course, the whole evening wasn't JUST disco - the MonDon students had a great time dancing to all sorts of music. Thanks MonDon for the excellent Prom - I can't wait for their your next dance!
