Louise and Rick Burroughs


We have been preparing for Louise and Rick's wedding for so long--it is hard to believe the day has actually come! Louise and Rick are such a great couple! They have been planning this wedding and they really wanted every detail to be just perfect for their family and friends. They really had an All-Star Wedding Cast to help make that happen--Jackie Lacey was the coordinator and designer; Frances and Scott Moody were the photographers; Maureen Cohen was the officiant; and Jen Leiti was the event coordinator from Port Royal. We met with Louise and Rick several times during their engagement and worked on setting an agenda that really fit in to how they wanted their wedding day to be organized. We provided microphones for the ceremony (Maureen always loves when we mic her!) and also had entertaining music for the cocktail hour on the deck, and then had the main set up in the dining room. The ceremony was beautiful, the cocktails were enjoyable, the dinner was fabulous and the dancing was incredible. It was such a pleasure to work with Louise and Rick--we wish them many years of joy together!

Kat and James McKee







Kat and James are such a COOL COUPLE!! ...and they have really cool friends and family. James contacted us a long time ago and told us that music and entertainment were very important to them. So, over the past few months we have been exchanging music lists and the final list was great! Kat and James had such a great range of music--the crowd was happy all night long! The wedding day started with a beautiful beach ceremony and then the guests moved into the Hilton Shorehouse for cocktails. Kat and James joined the party, shared a wonderful dinner--thanks to the fabulouse Hilton Staff--and then the party was ON!! It was such a great night and Amanda Julca was there to document the entire evening!

Melissa and Joshua Painter






Melissa and Joshua traveled from the Upstate of SC to the LowCountry of SC to have their dream wedding. Their ceremony was at the beautiful Old Sheldon Ruins and then the guests and the couple traveled to the Anchorage House in downtown Beaufort for their picturesque reception. History, beauty, good food, good family & friends defined the night. Melissa loves the good "oldies," so much of the music reflected that--artists like The Penguins, Curtis Lee, Louis Armstrong and Barbara Lewis. David Howard documented the day with photography that we are sure Melissa and Josh will treasure for a lifetime. It was a pleasure to serve Melissa and Josh and we wish them a lifetime of joy together.

Olivia and Nolan Hazelbaker







Olivia and Nolan are such a cool couple--really cool!! Olivia and Nolan are self-proclaimed "Bluffton River Rats!" They love the river, the sandbar and partying with their friends. For their wedding location, they selected Windows on the Waterway and Celebration Events provided incredible service! Low Country Lights provided really cool Asian Lanterns and lighting inside Windows that really represented Olivia and Nolan's fun and quirky personalities. Surrounded by their closest family and friends, Olivia and Nolan had a beautiful ceremony, wonderful food and then headed into dancing and partying!! Torrey Downs with Mira Photography documented the day with incredible images. They were truly a joy to work for and we look forward to seeing them around the river--because we are River Rats too!!

Alicia and Mark Lubbers




Thanks to Facebook and Divine Intervention, Alicia and Mark found each other!! Alicia and Mark knew each other for a few years through mutual friends at church, but through the "magic" of Facebook, Alicia and Mark really "met" each other. They decided to go on a date and that was it--they knew that there was a strong feeling for each other that neither had ever had for anyone else!! They nurtured their relationship and have chosen to love each other--forever! Alicia and Mark selected the Plantation Room at Skidaway Island as their reception site. It is a beautiful room--with A/C since it is August in Savannah--and the view is awesome!!! Alicia and Mark had a great wedding party made up of their dearest family and friends and the couple's desire was that everyone have a good time. In fact, in the words of Mark, "I wanna dance my bootie off!!" ....and that they did!! The crowd was a lot of fun and really did come to celebrate such a beautiful day. It was a pleasure to be part of such a great event. We were also very happy to work with Geoff Johnson as he documented the celebration with photography.

Jaclyn and Jacob Hodskins























Jaclyn and Jacob are both from Owensboro, Kentucky, but they actually met in Hilton Head several years ago. So, it is quite fitting that they would have their wedding in the picturesque setting of Palmetto Bluff--a jewel in SC LowCountry!! Jaclyn and Jacob are devoted to each other in a way that is rare to see--they are absolutely head over heels in love!! They wanted to have a small, intimate ceremony and celebration with just the closest of family and friends--fear not, Owensboro crowd--they are going to have a big blow-out next week with you!! The Palmetto Bluff Chapel served as the setting for their wedding and the May River Grill served as the reception site. Heather Fishburn and the entire staff of Palmetto Bluff is always beyond compare and tonight was no different! Lyn Bonham was on hand to document the entire event that Jaclyn and Jacob will cherish for a lifetime. It was truly a pleasure to share in this special night with Jaclyn and Jacob Hodskins!!

Roger and Gayle Mitchell











Most of you know that our primary jobs are weddings and weddings are our passion! But, several times throughtout the year, we take on other jobs. Thursday, July 30, we served as host and entertainer at the 50th Anniversary Celebration of Roger and Gayle Mitchell--what a true pleasure!! Roger and Gayle were surrounded by their children, grandchildren and family and friends from across the country. And, why not...50 years of marriage is something to be celebrated!! Hampton Hall Clubhouse was the setting for the celebration and Ashleigh Whitmore and the entire staff were excellent in their service. Again, we were honored to be part of such a special event. Our true prayer for each of our wedding couples is that they will learn from couples like Roger and Gayle--everyday will not be rainbows and sunshine, but sticking it out through the tough times is so rewarding!! God Bless you all!!

Kara and Matt Bagin




Kara and Matt wanted a wedding where there guests were entertained in a simply elegant way, so an obvious choice for a reception site was Port Royal Club. Jen Leiti and the entire staff were on top of all details as usual! Kara and Matt had a beautiful Old South wedding ceremony at the Methodist church in Old Bluffton on the banks of the May River. Then, their guests were shuttled to Port Royal for a relaxing cocktail hour. The guests were then invited into the dining room and both Kara and Matt's parents were introduced and then the guests of honor, Mr. and Mrs. Matthew Bagin, were introduced to their family and friends!! The couple shared a first dance and then the crowd enjoyed a great dinner! Throughout dinner, the honor attendants offered toasts to the Bagins and Kara and Matt also shared special dances with their parents. Following dinner, the PARTY started!! The ladies were offered complimentary flip flops so their feet could do some serious moves on the dance floor (safely!). Brent Nelsen documented the day with video and Scott and Frances Moody documented the day with photos that we are sure Kara and Matt will cherish forever. Every wedding reception that we are blessed to be a part of teaches us new and valuable lessons and Kara and Matt's was no different. We are very happy that they allowed us to serve them on the most special day of their life!

Kelly and Mike Goodwin






















...From the Garden State to the Palmetto State...Kelly and Mike are the sweetest couple!! When we met them last year, Mike told us that music and entertainment were the most important aspects of their reception, so we knew we were going to have a good time!! Mike helped give us great ideas for music through out the night, and basically the crowd danced and had a good time to everything from Motown Philly to Frank Sinatra to Bon Jovi! We were even able to honor Mike's parents' 50th anniversary with a special dance. ...and the West Virginia crowd went WILD when we played Country Roads!

Country Club of Hilton Head provided incredible food and service--as usual! John Brackett documented the evening with his photography and David Benjamin created a video for Kelly and Mike to have forever. We truly loved working for Kelly and Mike and we wish them a life time of happiness!

Happy Birthday, USA!!!












What could be more fun than spending the 4th of July at beautiful Berkeley Hall Club? We were blessed enough to serve the members and their guests in several capacities. First, there was a family-friendly pool party with lots of good food and games and waterslides! Then, later in the afternoon the clubhouse was host to nearly 400 members and guests who enjoyed a delicious dinner, fun music, a bounce house and an incredible fireworks display--check out the video! It was truly a time when you knew how proud you were to be an American! And the RED, WHITE and BLUE lighting on the columns of the Clubhouse were pretty cool!! Maren Woskow and Michael Krause and the entire staff at Berkeley Hall were amazing and we truly look forward to the next time we can work with them again!

Here is a link to their fireworks video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcFaJouY9-8
