Amanda and Pete - May 16, 2009

What a wonderful night! Amanda & Pete's wedding reception was held in the Rotunda Room at the Crowne Plaza in Warwick. The bride & groom were absolutely gorgeous, and the wedding party was stunning! All the little touches (that we know were a lot of work) were perfect! In colors of pink and brown, everything was coordinated, from the card box to the favors.

First of all, the Crowne Plaza does an amazing job, from the Maitre D' Karen (on site the entire evening), to the food, to the room itself, they do such a great job. We also had the pleasure of spending the evening with Keith Berry of Keith Berry Photography and John from Wedding Stories. It was a lot of equipment in a small area, and all were so nice and so easy to work with! We'll watch their websites for photos and maybe video, can't wait! Also, the flowers by Golden Gate Studios were simply breathtaking.

The crowd was super, a lot of great dancers who danced to all types of music. When family and friends come together and a great song is playing..it's magic on the dance floor! The flower girl danced the entire night, and I mean to every song. The kid has got some moves! So cute.

We enjoyed working with Amanda and Pete, they were calm and very easy going. As a result, all their hard work seemed to flow effortlessly the night of the wedding. We wish them a relaxing and warm honeymoon!

What a beautiful wedding!
Anne - How did it go with the different songs for each bridal party entrance?
Someone told me they think it may sound too choppy, but we still really want to do it...
About how much time of each song is played ~30 seconds?

It wasn't choppy, not in my opinion! We started each song, then announced the name and they walked to the dance floor where they had their picture taken, then got in line. It was about 30-40 seconds for each. I liked it because it gave each couple a real "moment" instead of just a quick announcement. We're doing the same thing on Sunday, will post how it went.
