Colleen & Casey August 1, 2009 Dolce Valley Forge King of Prussia, PA Web Site
Gleaming with the polished touches of a $20 million renovation, the Dolce Valley Forge exudes an essence of relaxed luxury. With it's marble floors and mahogany woods welcoming you into their updated retreat, it is a great venue to consider when looking for a refined, yet comfortable location to host a wedding.
I want to thank Paveet and Katie at the Dolce Valley Forge for being so helpful and accommodating all night long. Kindness and thoughtfulness in banquet directors is always appreciated, not just by the guests in attendance, but also the other professionals in the room.
I really enjoyed working with a videographer I've never met before, J.C. Costa at New Pace Productions. Check out their wedding videos here.
This wedding reception was a blast!
It seems to me that the traditional timeline of Philadelphia-area weddings is finally beginning to evolve to a more laid-back and fun agenda.
Right after the first dance, we opened the dance floor for about ten minutes, inviting everyone to join the bride and groom for some dancing. Afterwards, we enjoyed the blessing, a few words from the Maids of Honor and AN OUTSTANDING toast from the best man!
I truly enjoyed being a part of this VERY FUN affair!
Congratulations, Colleen and Casey!

Dana & Adam July 31, 2009 Ballroom at The Ben Philadelphia, PA Web Site
The Ballroom at the Ben is one of Philadelphia's most extravagant facilities. With giant crystal chandeliers and old World elegance, it is an opulent setting for life’s most important events.
When providing entertainment at the Ballroom at The Ben, one thing that I personally look forward to is spending a few short hours working with a GREAT banquet director, Mr. Ott Ricci. He combines an elegant and expeditious delivery of special events with a laid-back and fun demeanor. I greatly enjoy watching "The Master" at work.
There are some receptions where I have to work hard and make tough (and sometimes "gutsy") decisions on how to motivate a group of friends and family out to the dance floor.
Other times, there are receptions like this one... Where I feel I must pour buckets of water around the edges of the dance floor to "prevent the fire from spreading"! What an OUTSTANDING group of guests!
To give you an idea of how much energy was flowing in this room, check out the photo gallery. Do you see the photo of Dana and Adam hoisted over the crowd on the dance floor? News flash... They're not Jewish. They're just WILD!
Congratulations, Dana and Adam!

Megan & Jamie July 18, 2009 Spring Mill Manor Ivyland, PA Web Site
We are extremely pleased with the job that Steve did at our wedding! Steve was set up and professionally dressed at our reception before we even arrived at Spring Mill! Throughout the entire night, we felt he did everything we asked. We were very pleased that he was making sure everything was perfect. On our wedding day, Steve played all the songs we wanted to be a part of our wedding. He also had a FANTASTIC idea to get everyone on the dance floor which worked PERFECTLY! He was extremely flexible during the party and went above and beyond our expectations! We would recommend him to any of our friends or family. We are looking forward to seeing Steve in September at a friends wedding! Many of our guests have told us they were extremely impressed with him when he came around to tables to ask if the music was too loud or soft. He was very professional and personable throughout the night and was a joy to have at our special day!
