"Shredding" At The Wedding

This was a "high octane" wedding! Not to get too far ahead of myself, but the title is a pretty good description of what was going on all night on the dance floor.

First things first... The Desmond recently has undertaken a truly transforming renovation to their already decadent facility! It is very near completion, with an entirely new area for guests to enjoy the cocktail hour under a glass ceiling. At night, it looks absolutely amazing!

Since it was Independence Weekend, I decided to surprise Karen and Jamie by bringing star gobos to project on the wall. As you can see in the photo on the right, it definitely added to their first dance.

So what do I mean by shredding"?

Check out the photo on the left... Jamie possesses the uncommon ability to play a professional-grade leg guitar. It sparked a slew of imitators, but no one could replicate Jamie's "Angus Young" intensity.

When we wrapped up the night by playing a dedication to Jamie mom, the song "Mother" by Danzig (a first for me at a wedding), I don't think his right foot touched the ground for more than 10 seconds after the song began!

Congratulations, Karen & Jamie!

Karen & Jamie's comments about their wedding entertainment: "Steve made our wedding so memorable! He was quick on his feet and even played songs that were mentioned in the best man speech. He was very nice, extremely professional and truly made us feel very special. I have already recommended him to other soon to be brides! Thanks, Steve! "
