A Dream Come True at the Hotel du Pont

The giant Gold Ballroom at the Hotel du Pont is truly spectacular, capable of hosting weddings with up to 400 guests! With a very high ceiling hung with enormous chandaliers, the sound quality in this colossal ballroom is something that requires a little special attention to acoustics and sound placement.

You'll see, by clicking one of the photos, that the best way to combat echo and a dull, hollow sound to the music is with surround sound.

Brooke and Jamer's ballroom was treated to four-corner, wireless sound that kept the volume of the music low, but kept the room saturated with music.

One of the most moving moments of the evening was when Jamer stepped forward, donned an acoustic Seagull guitar and sang "All I Want Is You" by U2 to his new bride.

If you're wondering about the plasma monitor on the stage, Jamer's brother Jeremy is in the Navy and thought he would be unable to return home from Iraq in time for the wedding, so he recorded his toast on a DVD.

The morning of the wedding, Jeremy strolled in and surprised everyone.

Brooke and Jamer's wedding day was very family-oriented with guests old and young filling the dance floor. I think I even saw the father of the bride dancing to "Sexyback"!

Congratulations Brooke and Jamer!
