The Country Club of Peoria was subject to many fun changes on Saturday, June 13th. Gary, Charlie and their staff worked tirelessly to ready the club to offer an experience like no other to Joe and Stacy. Beth from Save the Date drew from her years of experience and treated the bride and groom to a room full of beautiful draping, wonderful flower arrangements, unique lounge furniture as well as new, different style of chivari chairs. The club's executive chef filled food stations full of unique culinary selections with the bar service providing everyone's favorite cocktails. We lighted the dining area as well as the living area of the club in soft and medium lavender tones with a beautiful custom monogrammed gobo focused on the dance floor. The bride and groom's custom designed monogram was a centerpiece used to bring cohesiveness to the cake, save the date and thank you cards as well as the ceremony programs. Here's my favorite part of this particular blog entry... Stacy and Joe asked us to create a club like atmosphere for their guests to enjoy after their band Indigo finished playing. How could I have refused a request like this, after all we offer disc jockey services too! My staff and I took the concept and ran with it. We utilized many effects from our arsenal of lighting as well as incorporated our brand new, computer controlled LED panels. Oh My!! This was fun, cool, hip, exciting, awesome... (you see where I'm going here)! Stacy, Joe and their guests partied into the wee hours of the morning enjoying "Club Cougar" and all it had to offer. Food from many local, well known resturaunts was also brought in for the guests to enjoy while they partied. Man, after all of years I've been involved in the wedding bizz, I've got to say... this was one of the coolest events we've done!! After the party was over, we tore down, loaded out and got to bed at the same time most of us are leaving to go to church. It was a very long day and an even longer night but all the work done by my staff and I was totally worth it!
Certainly not to be forgotten, congratulations to Katie and Pete who were married on Saturday at Ewing Manor in Bloomington. We produced the wedding as well as provided disc jockey services for the event. A great time was had by all! Thanks Katie and Pete!
Colin worked the Pregler reception which was also a knock down, drag out good time. This was a good old fashioned party with a room full of fun loving guests. Thanks for having us!!
We also had the privilege of working with the Krug family on Saturday night. Their event was an outside ceremony and reception. Saturday's questionable weather forecast turned out to be right on par with light showers in the morning with a beautiful, cloudless sky in the afternoon. I think I heard somewhere that it's good luck if it rains on your wedding day!! Thanks guys!
