Ringing In The New Year

Devon & David
December 31, 2007
Radnor Hotel

What can I say about the Radnor Hotel? It's what an Old Style Main Line wedding should be. A hands-on, attentive staff, fast and polite service, highly polished surfaces and chadeliers, award-winning gardens in the back... There's nothing about the Radnor Hotel that doesn't say "perfect spot for a wedding reception".

Devon & David's event was extremely decadent with illuminated centerpieces, an ice sculpture of the Love Park statue, and bottles of Dom Pérignon for the guests to enjoy as they brought in the new year.

I set up their dance floor with complete quadraphonic surround sound, giving them a nightclub-feel to enhance the dance party. As the countdown to 2008 drew near, Devon and David's family crowded around a television setup next to the dance floor to watch the ball drop on Times Square.

After everyone counted down from ten, the corks flew and everyone shared hugs, kisses, and glad tidings for the new year. Even I received a kiss from one of their grandmothers.

New Year's Day is a day to forgive, forget, and move forward. However, Devon & David's wedding celebration was one that their guests could not possibly forget.I really enjoyed watching as the guests danced the night away. It seemed like their happiness was taken just a notch above the norm, considering this was not only Devon and David's wedding day and it wasn't just New Years Eve, but it was also Devon's birthday!

At one point in the evening, Devon's uncle Bruce took the microphone and related to everyone how special it was for him to be present on the day she was born and now to witness his niece take the next step in her life. It was a very touching moment that everyone seemed to appreciate.

Congratulations, Devon & David!
