People planning Huntley Weddings should check out Ameritune DJs and Video. On September 10th, 2010 Ameritune’s DJ Al Mitchell played at Prairie Lodge / Dell Web for the ceremony and reception of Claudia and Jeff Rempala. We also videotaped. Wow, the weather couldn’t have been better it was mostly sunny and in the low 70’s. September weddings in Chicago are my favorive for outdoors, because you can almost always count on the best weather. The ceremony went off perfectly due in in no small part due to the excellent help of Kristin Cavarretta the wedding planner from http://www.sweetpeaweddingstudio.com/ I gotta say that DJs usually don’t like working with wedding planners because they just tend to throw their weight around, and get in the way while interfering with things. Kristin was the opposite. She did her job effectively, efficiently and was pleasant, and very easy to work with. She made sure that the bride and grooms day went smoothly and I can’t recommend her highly enough. Believe me, when a DJ recommends a wedding planner, you should listen. Anyway, I took a bunch of pics outside with my new camera, and they are all posted on the Ameritune facebook page. Here’s a nice shot of the cute flowergirls, Genevive and Lily.
So cute!
Down the Aisle
After the ceremony which was highlighted by the Matron of Honors unbelievably good rendition of Bless the Broken Road, there was a cocktail hour reception in the foyer. Claudia and Jeff were introduced to the Blackhawks theme, and went immediately to cut the cake.
The new Mr. and Mrs Rempala
After dinner, Claudia and Jeff had their first dance to You and Me by Lifehouse, followed by the Dad/ Daughter dance - My Wish, and then the Mom/ Son dance - What a Wonderful world. Open dancing followed till twelve and this is one of those dancing receptions that kept building, and getting better throughout the night. With a smaller group, (they had 100 people), I always recommend going with as small a dancefloor as you can get away with. The floor at Dell Webb is huge, easily enough to accomodate a party of 300 people. In general, people are more comfortable dancing when there’s not too much space. They don’t want to feel exposed, or visible. So, for those of you who are looking for a hall, bigger is almost never better when dancefloors are concerned.
Anyway, we sent Claudia and Jeff off to their Maui honeymoon with Save the Last Dance for me by Michael Buble, and many guests came up to thank me later. What a nice bunch of people they were! Thanks to Jeff and Claudia for their generosity and for taking such good care of RJ (Ameritune’s Videographer) and myself. Good luck, now let’s start making some more Rempalas! Read more DJ Tips.
