Jessica & Brian's Wedding Reception - 6.20.09

The Schorsch/ Lodi wedding was so much fun: take a look at these pics... they pretty much describe the evening!  From dancing the Tarantella (traditional Italian line dance) to the bouqet toss, everyone had a blast.  Thanks to Jessica and Brian for the pics... they're great!

Jill & Paul's Wedding - 7.28.07

Jill & Paul had their reception at Galleria Marchetti & it could not have looked nicer.  Arrangements were made by 'You'll Say I Do' Event Planning, run by Christina Mendoza.  She was on the ball, organized, & made my life much easier that night!
All in all, we had alot of fun & guests seemed to enjoy themselves.

Athletico's Holiday Party - 12.12.09

Talk about awesome party!  We had around 1100 guests at the Ravenswood Event Center.  Andrew Kalish and his catering company Blue Rooster Catering did a fantastic job providing ecletic edibles to the masses as they danced the night away.  The space comfortably held everyone as well as a cool collection of vintage and modern sports cars.  
I can't wait for next year's party!

Mike & Jennifer's Wedding - 8.25.07

What a blast!  The Hilton Suites Chicago on Delaware was the sight of a spectacular reception.  Although we started rather late (dancing began at 10:30pm), Jenn & Mike had a ton of fun.  I took them back down memory lane, with an 'old skool' set, and that had everyone out of their seats. Great Couple + Fun set of Friends = Impeccable Reception.

Sorah & Mike's Wedding - 10.10.08

I got a call from Mike about one month before the wedding to see if I was available; I said that I would be happy to oblige.  This was my first Persian/Korean wedding ever & it was a blast!!!  Huge shouts out to Kenny Nakai doing his thing with the camera!  Check out some pics:





A friggin' Super Mario Cake! How badass can you get :)



YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  This is how I feel everytime I get to be a part of someone's special day...

I think this was Mike's attempt at doing the 'Thriller' dance... ouch!

The Persian dance set was a lot of fun; I like mixing cultural music to get a nice finished product people dance to...

Rob & Megan Mastro's Wedding - 8.31.07

Rob & Megan got married at our family's restaurant in the Botticelli Room; what a night to remember!  Rob & I went to Loyola Academy together & played in an Alternative Rock band as well.  The highlight of the evening - their 1st dance, hands down.  Another friend of his accompanied me by replacing lyrics in Kool & the Gang's 'Joanna' with of course, 'O Megan.'  When the refrain came around, I faded the song so that we sang over the track.  A very special & original, to say the least. 
As far as dancing was concerned, Rob let me basically play whatever I saw the crowd reacted to positively.  Much emphasis on 80's tunes, and a bit of progressive tracks made the night a complete success.

Julie & James Park - 8.18.07

Julie & James held their ceremony & reception at Fairway Banquets in Niles.  Although it was raining, the ceremony went off without a hitch.  Eventually the clouds disappeared & everyone had their mind on having a great time. 
In honor of his parents, James decided to hold the 'Pae Beck' ceremony there, in front of all the guests.  This is a traditional Korean ceremony, showing respect to his elders, and his wife.  It was a great experience for Julie's side of the family. 
After dinner, guests were ready to dance & have fun.  It's nice when two Cultures come together & have a blast.  I sure did : )

Lee & Marianne Sharping - 7.14.08

Check out these pics of their wedding reception.  The Chinese Dragons were such a great addition to the night's events...

Joe & Jina Lin Wedding - Bahamas - 10.20.07

An amazing time, an amazing locale.  How do you sum up having a ceremony & reception at such an exotic venue?  When the temperature in the shade is 77, the sun is plentiful, and the sights are impeccable, there is just no easy way.  All I can say is, guests were very tired at the end of the evening from dancing; even the kitchen staff were invited out to have a blast!
