Wendy & Joe - December 31, 2009

Well, is there a better way to celebrate New Year's Eve than at a wedding at the Providence Biltmore? We think not! Wendy & Joe booked us almost 2 years ago, so we had been looking forward to their wedding for a long time! They were too - they have been together for over 10 years!

The ballroom is incredible, and was still decorated for the holidays. We provided uplighting in an amber color (gold and red) an also undertable lighting for cake and sweetheart tables. The Bose system also played wireless in the La Pogee room for their cocktail hour. Wendy is a dancer, and she choreographed her wedding party's introductions, including the parents! The crowd went wild! Of course, hats and noisemakers were distributed near midnight, and I called out the countdown from the clock on my Blackberry (thought of that at the last minute - who has a second hand clock anymore?). The final hour was a mash up of what Wendy called "throw back jams" - an hour of old school songs for a continuous hour of dancing. Fun!

We had the pleasure of working with Keith Berry of Berry Photos, and Mike Picard of MPVideography. And the staff at the Biltmore is more than professional.
