We have added more “instant” to instant gratification. Add the instant upload option to your photo booth or other photography related product booked through our company and guests are now able to:
E-mail the pictures they just took to themselves and up to three other friends.
Post their pictures directly from our iPad to their Facebook profile.
Tweet their pictures using Twitter directly from our iPad.
All of this in seconds!
When you add the instant upload option, we include an internet connected iPad and software that allows guests to be able to do these uploads right on the spot.
The members of American Association of Certified Wedding Planners have nominated me for the “My Favorite Vendor” award for 2012 in the disc jockey category. This is the third year in a row that I have received the prestigious honor of being nominated, and won the award in 2010.
Members of the AACWP vote to decide which of the people in the area they enjoy working with the most in all categories, including favorite venue, photographer, florist, disc jockey, live band, lighting and many more. Nothing feels better than the planners themselves nominating you for their own version of the academy awards, let me tell you! There are usually three nominees per category. If you think about the number of professionals in our area, just getting nominated by group is such an honor.
The award presentation will be held in late February at the Rosewood Crescent Hotel. We will be there, ready to see all of our friends of the AACWP and hopefully take home the award! Thank you to all of the planners that we have had a chance to work with over the past year. It is because of you that I get to do what I love to do and make it a living.
Success to all of us in 2012! Let’s help those brides!
We received a call for the marketing firm responsible for many political events in the North Texas area to help with a fundraiser that was held in Fort Worth for Texas State Senator Wendy Davis.
The revitalized Magnolia Green Park in Fort Worth was the location. David Husbands with Rental Stop provided the tenting and power for the event.
RSE provided audio for the entire program including wireless microphones for the presentors and band FOH for Sarah Hickman, who performed on our stage. Plasma screens were hung in the room for guests to be able to see the videos shown during the presentation. Lighting included ambient lighting in the tent and stage lighting, both intense color lighting for the musical performance and corrected stage wash for promotional pictures during the presentation.
RSE worked hand-in-hand with the marketing team running stage, music and lighting cues. From small meetings to large general sessions, we can handle your event. Please call 817-410-8399 to speak with Randal for more information.
We received a call from Pillar Hotel and Resorts to help them with an event they had coming up at one of our favorite places, Austin Ranch in Grapevine. Apparently they had a less-than-pleasant experience with the disc jockey they had last year and wanted to make sure that their awards banquet and party were over the top.
Enter us… We’re not just a “disc jockey”! In speaking with our client, we were able to determine where the short-comings had started–there wasn’t enough planning with the last party. To that end, we figured out what they wished to accomplish and came up with a program that would more than over the top!
In my opinion, awards presentations need to be done right. That means: we need to be able to hear the person who is presenting, we need to know what the award is about and we need to be able to make a lot of noise when the winner is announced. To that end, we make sure that there is a script ahead of time. Then we choose the right music to bring each recipient up and make the evening run flawlessly. Picture the academy awards–they have a high level of production value, and so should any awards presentation.
Pillar decided that they wished to have a talent show for their employees following the awards presentation. Not just any type of talent show, this one ended up becoming a mash-up between America’s Got Talent and American Idol. The managers were game to be a part of the show and we ended up having someone to play the role of Ryan Seacrest and for judges, someone to be Simon, Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler. Not only did they play the part, they dressed the part, which took the event up several notches in fun for the employees. When management types play along, it really inspires their employees.
What was even better, out of a group of 200 people, there were nearly 25 employees who participated in the talent show. That is an incredibly high percentage of participants for the total number of people! There were solo acts, duos, and several group acts. Some were comedy, some were singing, and some were acting skits. You can tell by the video that they really took this seriously–after all, there was $1000 on the line–$500 in cash and $500 in the form of a donation to their favorite charity.
Talk about the ultimate in team building! The entire company is going to be talking about this party until next year, when we do it again.
Thanks Pillar for letting us help and be a part! Our thanks to Colin Shubitz of Camera2Productions for helping with the video and providing us the demo reel!
If you are interested in having a spectacular corporate party for your company, call us at 817-410-8399 or 214-206-1724 and lets start planning!
Perfect date, check. Great location, check. Great MC/DJ, check. Custom linens, lighting, big cake, awesome food and signature drink, check.
What’s missing? Oh yeah, a few dance lessons. Greg Michaels can help. Greg is a skilled ballroom dancer and in a former life he was a professional “Fred Astaire” dance instructor. Greg utilizes his talent again at a dance studio in Grapevine called “Dance On The Vine”.
Every single client that I’ve referred to Greg has given rave reviews on their dance instruction (and DJ too!) Greg takes time to get to know you, watches you dance a little to see what your skill level might be (and your trainability) and helps create a first dance for you that won’t be forgotten. Whether you wish to learn the basics of dance, learn the basics of the song you are going to dance to for your first dance or bring your whole bridal party in for lessons so that your wedding looks like a choreographed high school movie, Greg has the skills to help.
Some people choose three lessons and learn the basic dance steps for their song. In those lessons Greg can teach you the basic pattern, a turn or two, a way to get out onto the dance floor and a way to end the dance to make you look like a hero. If you consider yourself more advanced, he can teach you a complete choroeographed routine in five lessons.
Either way, you are going to impress your friends and have a wedding video worth remembering! Open your mind and get ready to have some fun. Greg is available evenings and some weekends to teach. His dance website can be found here: www.gregmichaels.biz Give him a call at 469-877-8709 and schedule your lessons today.
