Worst Best Man Ever!

This video was passed on to us to view and after viewing it, we thought we would share it with the blog readers also. This video is a good example of why you need a wedding planner and also how important rehearsals are for your big day. Enjoy the video, have a good laugh, but rest assured this is not a typical wedding scenario.

Featured Videographer – Paul-E-Media

Special Moments got the opportunity to work with the videography company – Paul-E-Media on a wedding recently for Courtney and Shon. They were kind enough to put together a mini video of our company at the wedding. We have included the U-tube video below that they did. Enjoy:

Courtney and Shon’s Wedding Video Highlights

We received the highlights video from Paul-E-Media for Courtney and Shon’s wedding at the Lion’s Eye Institute in October. They had done a fall theme. Thanks to Bonnie and Paul for being there to capture the wedding for all of the family members that were not able to attend and so Courtney and Shon can be able to relieve the wedding day forever. Enjoy the highlights video below:

Tent Wedding Reception in Seminole

Jaime and Bryan’s wedding on September 20th, 2008  was an event that the Special Moments team will not forget for years to come! Along with all of the details and tents! Yes, we had 6 tents, a beer truck, portable restrooms, valet service, buffet dinner for 285 people, lounge area, and a live band on the stage. When Jaime’s mom came in to meet with us at the office , looking for a “Day Of” coordinator, little did we know what we were in for. We fell in love with Mom and had a great time with Jaime, helping her thru the most important day of her” Parent’s Life.”  The party started out with maybe 150 to 200 guests in the initial stages and a few tents with a band. As weeks went by, it just took on a life of it’s own and the guest count was finally confirmed to be 285. Our biggest concern was restrooms for all of the guests. Thanks to Royal Restrooms we had the most amazing port-a-potty’s you have ever seen.The guests were totally suprised by the restrooms and it was a very talked about subject all night by the guests and most of them took the business cards and plan on using them for their own personal parties.

Another popular spot for the guests was the beer truck. We had 3 taps available with cups, so the guests could help themselves without having to wait in line at the bar. We have included a picture below of the beer truck also, which was a great place to keep all of the ice stored for the event also. The bartenders never complained when they had to make a trip to get more ice from the truck.

We had a catered buffet by one of our favorite caterers ,Orange Blossom Catering www.orangeblossomcatering.com , who we subject to working under crazy surroundings and they still arrive and leave with a smile. Their staff is always pleasant to work with. I have included a picture below of the buffet area. (which was also the dance floor area) Remember me saying subjecting them to crazy surroundings, their staff had to clear the buffet after dinner and move all 6 tables out of the dance floor area and we gave them about 15 minutes to accomplish this. ( They still had a smile after that task also)

We have also included below a few of our non-professional picutres taken after the set-up was complete. We are so looking forward to sharing with you the professional pictures and the video of the entire set-up once completed. We were fortunate in getting to work with Thomas Bruce Photography , they were hardly noticed at the event and were always available to capture every event that took place.  I love photographers that you do not notice are even there, it makes are job easier to work with true photography professionals. Will update you when we get the professional pictures.

So below is our pictures for you to enjoy:
