Recently,  Schaumburg IL DJs  favorite,  Byron Parker from Ameritune played at The Seville Banquet Hall near Schaumburg, IL. Here’s what he had to say-

Hey everyone, I’m writing this just to let you know how much fun we had at Jose and Janice’s wedding on August 28th, 2009. They had their ceremony and reception at The Seville in Streamwood. Both Janice and Jose looked awesome, and The Sevill was awesome as usual. The ceremony went smooth and fast, only about fifteen minutes long and morphed right into the cocktail hour.

A great thing about this wedding was that even though the families were of different races, and cultures no one cared. It was all about love and everyone seemed to be getting along and having a wonderful time. When going over details ahead of time with Janice and Jose, we decided it would be a good idea for them to bring some extra Spanish music, ie Cumbias, Salsa, Merenge, etc. Jose’s sister helped out by selecting some great tunes that had Jose’s side on their feet the whole night long, even Spanish line dances that I never knew existed. These guys sure know how to do it up! When I played traditional American wedding music, Janice’s side was up there jamming the dancefloor too. Jose was quite a dancer, and when I played Michael Jackson, the crowd made a circle around him and he did his trademark Michael Jackson impersonation. Lots of fun!

Both sets of Parents were very nice and were enjoying the evening to the fullest. The guests danced all night, even the lady in the wheelchair was out there partying away!

The key to the success of this reception was that we catered to the cultures of both Bride and Groom. Everyone got their music, evenly and the dancefloor was never empty.

Hawaiian Theme Wedding in Chicago

Filed under: Hawaiian Theme Wedding In Chicago — Tags: , , — admin @ 7:13 pm

Last week, I played a Hawaiian Theme wedding in Chicago at The Seville Banquet Hall in Streamwood, Illinois. We do a lot of weddings at The Seville, as they have recommended us there for the last 15 years or so, the food and service are always great there, btw. The Bride and Groom, Mark and Kim Mendralla had actually gotten married a few months earlier in Hawaii, and wanted to have a somewhat casual Hawaiian themed reception to celebrate with friends and relatives. They wanted a lot of Jimmy Buffet, and Island music played during cocktails and dinner, so I made them a nice 2 cd set to play, and later gave it to them it as a gift. Outside in the lobby, there was a cutout of a Hula Dancer “handing Out” leis.

Inside the room, there was more Hawaiian Theme, thanks to a family friend who has this stuff and volunteered to bring  and set it up.

Mark and Kim just wanted to have a good time with their friends and family. Their great attitutude, the island music, and Mark (The bartender) proved to be all it took to create a real positive vibe in the room. Since Mark and Kim had their wedding videotaped in Hawaii, and wanted to show everyone their video, we set up The Big Screen Presentation and let their video run without sound during cocktails and dinner.

 Near the end of dinner, Dr. Nick showed up in his Hawaiian Elvis get up and started the party off with a bang. Here he is singing  I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You while Mark and Kim open the dancefloor.

Well needless to say, these guys had an awesome wedding! Lots and lots of good times, and the dancefloor was packed all the way to the end of the night. It was my pleasure to be their DJ.

Schaumburg DJs

Recently, Byron Parker one of our most popular Schaumburg DJs from Ameritune, played at The Seville for the wedding of Beth and James Keathley. Here’s what he has to say: I perfomed at one of my favorite places, the Seville on Barrington Road in Streamwood.When I talked to Beth (The Bride) about details, things went very smooth, as they were very organized. She had many different ideas (as most brides do), and I was more than willing to work with her to help make the event a success. Later, James (The Groom) gave me a call and said, “Hey I’ve got a great idea- do you think it would be cool to do something a little different when we do the garter?  I’ll have a huge pair of womans bloomers up my sleeve and pull them out instead of the garter. That would be fun, and maybe I’ll get a good laugh from everyone.” I said “Its your wedding and I’ll help you pull off whatever you want.”

....Nothin up my sleeve...

....Nothin up my sleeve...

Many times things like this work out very well, and this time  it was a huge success! As the music started, James strolled up with this big smile on his face happy as could be. He went down, (and took his time might I add)

- and jumped up with joy as he pulled out these big bloomers, as large and white as could be, proudly holding them up for everyone to see. Beth had a huge smile on her face and everyone in the room started laughing, and cheering him on. He showed them off, twirling them around, then tossed them right away. All the guys wrestled after those bloomers. Well need I say more, the guy that wanted them the most got them- and right away started prancing around with his prize.

 But that just wasn’t enough for him, he decided to have some fun with them, since he had never been so close to womens underwear. As he struggled to get them on, (mostly because Beth and James were laughing so hard) he couldn’t stand up straight. Maybe it was the drinks he had (probably more than a few), but still he did it, and he posed for everyone. He was proud of those white bloomers as he stood there. I’m sure it will be a memory that he and everyone will never forget. He never let go of those bloomers, he probably has them in a special place right at this very moment. James was so happy that his plan worked out the way it did, and he couldn’t stop thanking me for helping make his moment so special. That was just one of the many things we can do to help make your wedding more unique and fun. I was so glad to be a part of another success story, and I know they’ll always remember Bloomer Boy. This is why I love what I do! Byron Parker is one of our most popular entertainers.
