Upbeat first dance song ideas

Upbeat First Dance Song Ideas

Jess & Sean are a fun and energetic couple. They were seeking something a little out of the box for their first dance song. Here is what we had to tell them…

Hi Jess & Sean!
Congrats on the engagement! You guys sound like a fun couple. I love working with couples like you. :) I see you are looking for some uptempo first dance song ideas. One of the hits of this past year was ‘Marry You’ by Bruno Mars. It’s an uptempo song that is also very sweet. Another hit at high energy weddings this year was the ‘Fake out’ first dance. That’s where you have 2 songs. The first being a slower and romantic song which is interrupted by a party anthem like LOW by Flo-Rida or Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO.
Both of these methods work great and will make for a memorable first dance. Good luck and happy planning!

Something fresh for cocktail hour playlists

Wedding

Something fresh for cocktail hour playlists

Having killer cocktail hour playlists are important. Cocktail hour is a great time at a wedding. All of your guests get refreshed and mingle to some tasty beverages and treats from the kitchen and relax before your grand entrance.

One of the most common types of music played at cocktail hour is jazz and classical. We all know the common composers Mozart, Bach, Tchaikovsky. But what about something different for a change? Enter the Vitamin String Quartet.

This great quartet started in Los Angeles in 1999 and has become a sensation. Their biggest claim to fame is their arrangements of some of yesterday and today’s pop and rock hits such as Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” and more recently Lorde’s smash hit ‘Royals’.

The great feature to using a group like this for your cocktail and dinner hour is that it still sounds very regal and high end but with nuances of songs that people know and love. Take a listen to their arrangement of Royals.

Highlights from the Riverview & Torrington Country Club Bridal Shows

Wedding

This weekend was AMAZING for bridal shows!

On Saturday, January 25th, Aaron & Mark from Pryme Tyme Entertainment headed on over to the Riverview in Simsbury for the WeddingSteps bridal show. There were well over 50 vendors there for brides to come and check out. The WeddingSteps had some great incentives for brides and gave away an all expenses vacation to the Caribbean for one lucky couple. Many of the brides who we met with on Saturday (probably 40 or 50 WOW!) were starting their wedding journey after being newly engaged over the Christmas holiday. We got to meet with a few of the couples that we had seen at previous shows as well which is always a treat. Over all, a great show.

On Sunday, we headed over to Torrington Country Club for their bridal affair. It was a much smaller show than the Riverview but, we STILL met with over 30 brides and will be contacting them to set appointments to talk about their special day. While we were there, WZBG‘s Amy Ferarotti interviewed Pryme Tyme Entertainment owner and Master of Ceremonies, Aaron DeMarest.Thank you to Amy and WZBG for such a great interview and telling Litchfield county all about Pryme Tyme Entertainment.

5 shows down. 2 more to go. 2014 is going to be an excellent year! Thank you to all of the brides and vendors who came to see us this weekend! We look forward to meeting with you again to start planning your special day!

bridal party line up, bridal party, how to line up your bridal party

Bridal Party Line Up | A Tutorial

Wedding

Bridal Party Line Up | A Tutorial

How should you line up your bridal party? Do you line them up from shortest to tallest? Hair color? How do you do it so that your pictures come out PERFECT? There’s a lot to think about from vendors to decor, and guest lists to playlists and everything in between.

There are many different ways to accomplish the perfet bridal party line up. It’s up to you! Typically you start with the grandparents of the bride and groom, then then parents make an appearance. Folling the parents is the bridal party being introduced in pairs. Following the bridal party comes the flower girl and ring bearer. After the kids come in, your maid or matron of honor and best man take the walk down the aisle. And last but not least, it’s time for the newlyweds to make their grand entrance.

Check out this great article from BRIDES.COM on How to Line up your Bridal Party.

Wedding Proposal Fail: Guy falls from building while proposing to his girlfriend.

Wedding

Wedding Proposal Fail: Guy falls from a building while proposing to his girlfriend.

We love YouTube. It gives us such gifts when we’re checking on the latest trends for weddings and events. It’s also great for couples to find ideas for their weddings as well. There’s wedding videos, highlight reels, a wedding proposal wins and a wedding proposal fail. Happy couples and Bridezillas. Good Disc Jockeys and the worst DJ ever. With all of these topics to choose from, there is no shortage of wedding entertainment on Youtube. It’s the new version of Americas Funniest Home videos. So when we came across this little gem, we had to share it.

2014 is the year of the prank. What many would hope for in a cutesy proposal video, for this new couple, caution is thrown to the wind. But as the new saying goes, “A couple that pranks together, stays together.” Let’s just hope the Mrs has a good sense of humor over her beau’s shenanigans. Check out the video and you’ll be saying, “OH MY GOD! I can’t believe what I just saw! This certainly gives new meaning to being head over heels in love with your girlfriend. She said JUMP and he asked “How high?” Ok, that’s enough.
