What an amazing weekend post 1

This past weekend started Friday night April 23, with an awesome wedding at Coconut Cove resort in Islamorada. Steel drums filled the air as Bob Lyons played the prelude and the ceremony. Bob also played through cocktail hour. MB Entertainment and yours truly took over as cocktail hour was winding up. Kim and Mike's cocktail hour had a true tropical feel, including selections by Jimmy Cliff, Bob Marley,Jimmy Buffet, and Jason Mraz.

First Dance: Elvis Presley-Can't Help Falling in Love
Bride/Father Dance: Heartland-I love her first
Groom/Mother Dance: Celine Dion-Because You Loved Me

Dance party and dance music selections were everything from old-school hip-hop to the latest From Lady Gaga.

Paul and Magda always put their clients first, and this is what makes Coconut Cove Resort one of the top destination wedding locations in the world.

A special thanks to all the vendors involved...

A special thank you to Trish and Kathryn from Coconut Palm inn for all their help for this special day. I look forward to working at your beautiful venue again in the near future.

The dance floors relocated to the area right next to the dinner tent. It was decided so the people dancing would have some kind of protection from the wind blowing off the Gulf of Mexico. MB entertainment provided music for the ceremony as well as cocktail. Hot hors d’oeuvres were passed during cocktail hour by the staff from Caribbean catering. Hors d’oeuvres included shrimp, bacon wrapped scallop and chicken. During dinner to chefs created pasta dishes for the guests at their request with a variety of meat fish and veggies. Then we kicked off the reception right after dinner. Despite the cold weather all the guests danced until 10 PM (our scheduled ending time).Mr. and Mrs. Gilroy and their guests had an absolutely amazing time with little or no regard to the cold that mother nature had provided that day. Most of the guests were from Bakersfield California and enjoy themselves thoroughly.
