Thank you notes!

At JLKevents, we do not shy away from hard work, but there are some weekends that are just exhausting. May 1 was one of those weekends, however, when sweet emails and thank-you notes like the ones here come to us, it makes it all worthwhile!!

Hi Liz,

What an awesome job you did to help turn the Pavilion into a magical, beautiful place. The lighting and lanterns were perfect. I loved working with you and would use you on my next wedding but thankfully I am all out of daughters.Thanks so very much.

Rachel and Ian Hass

You know it is going to be a great wedding when the bride and groom come to the planning meeting wearing sombreros!! We met Rachel and Ian on Cinco de Mayo and they had stolen away for a margarita before our meeting! Rachel and Ian wanted to show their family a friends a GOOD TIME and the guests came ready to CELEBRATE. Melainie Allen and the entire staff at the Marriott Resort provided great service! Enjoy the photos--they speak volumes about the good time that was had by all!!!

The week-end of Lighting!!

May 1 was a wonderful day to get married in the Low Country/Savannah area! We were thrilled to be part of such a great day for four incredible couples. We had the opportunity to work with some of our favorite vendors and another opportunity to work with some new favorite vendors! It was an exhausting week, but getting heart-felt hugs and thank-yous from our clients makes it worth it!! Many thanks to our Lighting Technician, Casey Fender for the work that he put into the events!

Enjoy the photos and please note the list of vendors that helped make the day a success!

The Photo Booth!!

JLKevents Photo Booth Rental had their inaugural use last Saturday! ....And what better spot to begin this fun, but beautiful Haig Point? Kristen Ploehn and her team planned a "Woodstock" party their members and guests and they thought that the Photo Booth would add tons of fun to such a fun event. They were right!! It was great fun!! The guests had a great time "hamming" it up while they were dressed in their 60's outfits!

The photo booth at this event was "open air" because it was outside and the surroundings were so incredible!! We do have the ability to create an actual "booth" where guests would go in for their fun photos.

Many thanks to Haig Point for being our first photo booth customer.

Enjoy the pics!!

Tracy and Landon Betsworth

Tracy and Landon--truly a couple who love life!! Tracy and Landon knew they wanted every aspect of their wedding reception to be one word--F-U-N!! It all started with fun and touching scripted introductions for their wedding party, continued into the most amazing choreographed first dance, and ended with an incredible After-Party! Tracy and Landon planned for everything--except the weather--and who can do that? Who would think that a Saturday in late March would be anything BUT perfect in Hilton Head? Well, Mother Nature threw us all a curve with winds and cold temps! But Malely and the entire staff at The Westin Resort, Dawn from A Floral Affair and Low Country Lights all worked hard to make it a perfect day for Tracy and Landon, despite the chili temps. The ballroom was transformed into such a delight! Tracy and Landon were surrounded with such a great group of family and friends! Caroline Hilty documented the event for Tracy and Landon. The day and night were great. We enjoyed working with this couple and we wish them a lifetime of happiness!!

Holly and Grant Deloach

What a great day for a wedding and what a beautiful wedding it was!! Holly and Grant Deloach chose the Westin Resort on Hutchinson Island as the spot where they would exchange their vows and host a great wedding reception. The guests gathered in the Harbor Ballroom for the elegant ceremony and then moved upstairs for a nice cocktail hour. At 7pm, they were welcomed into the ballroom for the reception and....WOW!! The entire room was uplit and there was a beautiful custom monogram displaying Holly and Grant's name--many thanks to Graceful Expressions for the design of that monogram. Holly and Grant shared their first dance and moved to a special dance between Grant and his mother and then Grant's father (also his Best Man) offered a toast to the newly married couple. A wonderful dinner was then served--great food and great service thanks to the hard work of Sarah Aliffi-Baez! The guests enjoyed hearing Holly and Grant's Love Story and the cutting of the wedding cake. Elegant lighting soon became fun, up-beat and really cool dance floor lighting--the whole crowd was motivated to dance the night away! Krisha Cravin was on hand to capture the night with amazing images! We look forward to keeping in touch with Grant, Holly and even Liz--Holly's mom. They are such a great family and we are honored to have spent the day with them!

Andrew and Margaret Maggitti

First wedding of 2010 and first wedding as JLKevents! ...and a great wedding it was!! Andrew and Margaret are from Baltimore, Maryland, and they brought their closest family and friends with them to Hilton Head to witness and celebrate their wedding. Palmetto Hall was the setting of the wedding ceremony as well as the reception. Jen Leiti and her staff offered wonderful food and service--as usual. It was a cold, brisk day, but that could not stop everyone's heart from being warmed as they witnessed Andrew and Margaret exchange vows on the lawn of Palmetto Hall. The guests then moved upstairs to the ballroom to enjoy food and drinks. The entire evening was set like an incredible cocktail party. Andrew and Margaret are both in the food and beverage industry, so they wanted their guests to enjoy! Andrew and Margaret are so sweet--they work together and they are both ready to start their family and make it truly a family-affair! We are thankful to have spent the day with them!

Elise and Kjell Pederson

Elise and Kjell are such a fun couple!! They met as lifeguards on Hilton Head and they are still here—ok, there were lots of detours on the way, but they are still in Hilton Head, Kjell is a full-time lifeguard and now they are married!!! Elise and Kjell wanted to have a special place for their wedding and they searched the Island and found a great beach house on 5 Alder Lane. Maureen Cohen performed the beach ceremony and PortaParty provided the PA and music. Then, following the ceremony, the guests moved back to the house for cocktails and appetizers. Elise and Kjell spent some time having some FABULOUS photos made my Torrey and Tony from Mira Photography. When their photos were complete, Elise and Kjell had their “grand entrance” and then shared their first dance and husband and wife and then Elise shared a special dance with her dad—it was so cool because it started with “My Girl” and then moved into the Michigan Fight Song and then the Michigan State Fight song!! It is so cool to customize wedding receptions!! Dinner was then served and the toasts were presented—Elise and Kjell have some incredible orators in their list of family and friends!!! The love story was also presented and all of the guests learned that Kjell bought Elise and engagement ring from WalMart!! He really did—but only because the AMAZING ring that was being designed for her was not ready when he was ready to propose!! There are always really cool stories that we learn about our couples! Elise and Kjell did not want to do a “normal” bouquet toss, so they had all of the guests come out to the dance floor and they tossed out lottery tickets!!! Of course, Calloway’s “I wanna be rich” was playing in the background!! Their crowd was so much fun!! Dancing, fun, dancing, fun was how the night was!! Ice cream paint job had the crowd fired up!! It was a great night and we are so happy that Elise and Kjell are local, so we can actually see them again! Gina Dunn was on site to organize and coordinate all aspects of the wedding day and she was beyond phenomenal!!! It was just a perfect day and we are honored to have been part of it!!

Hi Liz and Jamie,
Just writing to thank-you for a fabulous party. We had a great time...although wishing it could have lasted longer. It was like we blinked and the wedding was over:( We had tons of compliments on the music and flow of the party. Kjell's favorite part of the whole wedding was dancing to Ice Cream Paint Job. hehehe
Thank you again and we will be sure to recommend you to other friends getting married.
Elise and Kjell
