Color the Aisle When it comes to choosing color pallets for your bridesmaids, you don’t really have to stick to By Liesel Schmidt one particular rule, because it’s about your vision for the day and the theme you want it to follow. Naturally, you’ll want colors that compliment the décor you’ve chosen: the flowers, the linens…all the pretties. But remember, your bridemaids are a HUGE part of conveying your vision for your dream day, like walking floral arrangements that compliment you as the centerpiece. They should bloom in confidence and add an element of fun, whimsy, elegance, or classic style as they precede you down the aisle and set the mood. And whether you’ve chosen softer hues like mint or gray or richer, more saturated tones like burgundy, the colors your bridemaids wear plays a big role in making your wedding look cohesive.

E N T E R TA I N M E N T That’s Entertainment By Liesel Schmidt When you’re planning a wedding, there are so many things, so many elements to consider—not the least of which are all of those details that fall under the heading of “entertainment.” Comprised of much more than simply the traditional DJ or band that set up shop to oversee the music during the reception as it did in your parents’ day, today’s wedding entertainment actually encompasses ALL things that could, in fact, be considered a source of entertainment. So, yes, that means the DJ or band. But it also means things like the ride to and from the reception; the add-ons that keep your guests occupied while they’re not busting a move on the dance floor, sucking down cocktails (we see you, Aunt Mabel), or stuffing their faces with (hopefully) de- licious catered food (ahem) and cake. There’s more that has to be done— Asilinn Kate Photography especially in these times when every event is posted all over social media— and Pensacola has experts in all modes of entertainment that will make your wedding #unforgettable. Everyone’s all about taking selfies and snapping shots of everything they see and do, but there’s still something insanely fun about the old-school photo booths. Somehow the idea of squeezing far too many people into ridiculously small space to get awk- ward faces forever memorialized on a strip of tiny photos is still every bit as novel now as it was before the advent of digital cameras and smart phones; and wedding receptions are one place where these babies shine, as owner of Foto2Go Rob Kimball can attest. “Photo booths offer unmatched premi- Foto 2 Go um entertainment to make memories Fall 2019 49
E N T E R TA I N M E N T Foto 2 Go that will last a lifetime, and our booths provide a charming experience where guests can receive a memento to take home while leaving a message and picture for the bride and groom.” Offering rental of two video booths and three different styles of photo booth with many customizable options, Foto2Go has been making couples in the Pensacola area—and their guests—smile for 11 years. And while the new take on those pod-like spaces now offers a bit more room to spread out, none of the fun is lost…In fact, it’s taken to even greater extent, as they come with every kind of prop, back- drop, and photo format imaginable, meaning your guests could be sporting Foto 2 Go some killer handlebar moustaches and feather boas along with their party dresses. “Couples love having photo booths at their receptions because they offer guests plenty of entertainment, and they get to take home a great me- mento to remember the party!” says Raylene Wheat, who started Mirror Mirror Images Photobooth Mirror Images Photobooth Images Photobooth in 2018. Of- fering rental of an interactive Magic Mirror that walks guests through the picture-taking process, compliments them, and plays games with them, the booth also enables each picture to be personalized with the couple’s names and wedding dates or a message from the bride and groom. “Mirror Images offers red carpet, personalized service and custom design wedding overlays with every couple’s colors and theme. We also deliver, set up, and break down the booth and provide deluxe custom props as well as an attendant to make sure everything runs smoothly. Each couple also receives a custom heart-shaped USB with all the pictures Mirror Images Photobooth Mirror Images Photobooth 50 Coastal Weddings Magazine
E N T E R TA I N M E N T from the event,” says Wheat. It’s important to have the right DJ at your wedding, as well, as whomever you trust with the all-important power of the mic—and, therefore, the great- est command of the room—can either make or break the reception. Hire the wrong one, and your day will live forever in infamy…and likely not just in people’s memories. Don’t you just love the Internet? The best DJs will know how to read the room and will have really taken the couple’s personalities into account, not to mention being able to keep the group’s energy level up and adapt to the range of ages in their audience. Asilinn Kate Photography “We have ten Personality DJs at Boogie, Inc. who don’t just play music. They make all announcements for things like the couple’s entrance to the reception, the cake cutting, the toasts, the bouquet and garter toss, and the couple’s first dance; but we also get involved with the crowd and keep them moving with line dancing and taking requests, and we see who is attending and adjust the music to fit that specific group,” says Bonnie McDonald, proud owner of a company now celebrating its 40th year. “Our DJs also work with the photographer and wedding planner to make sure every- thing goes smoothly for our couples, and we go out of our way to make sure everything is in place before the first guests arrive.” “When couples get married, they want a to have a professional, fun, and well-spoken DJ/MC and great lighting to make their event space shine,” says owner of Powell Entertainment Matt Powell, a seasoned DJ who spent years working for a major cruise line before starting his multi-faceted company in 2015. As an expert in the industry, Pow- ell knew just what to offer his clients to suit their needs in whatever event they might be celebrating, incorporat- ing A/V services, draping and lighting décor, and DJ services into one brand to create the ultimate one-stop shop. “One of the things our clients appre- ciate and have come to expect from Asilinn Kate Photography us is our wonderful customer service, Fall 2019 51
E N T E R TA I N M E N T our attention to detail, our passion, our incredible skillset, and our premium quality services and equipment,” Pow- ell goes on. Keeping it all in-house, Powell also owns and operates The Rails on Wright St., an open-air event space that can be booked as a space on its own or in a full package with Powell Entertainment’s services. “We get so many compliments from brides saying we relieved them of so much stress when it comes to the planning of the reception,” says owner of SN DJ Entertainment Stacey Noles, whose work as a radio host have positioned him well to run an event en- tertainment company. “A lot of times when we meet with brides for their initial consultation, they don’t even know where to start, so we help them out by giving them some ideas. After they hire us, we work directly with them to come up with a detailed, written, organized planner with a sequence of events customized specifically for them and their unique tastes; and then we send copies of that to all of their other vendors. We want our brides to feel like a ‘guest’ at their reception, so we go the extra mile in making sure their reception is relaxing, fun, and—most importantly—stress-free,” Noles goes on. Obviously, Noles and his team are doing something right, as they’ve been offering their services in wedding DJ entertainment throughout the area since 2003, extending their expertise to provide decorative up lighting, monogrammed lighting, and services as “on-site” wedding reception en- tertainment director and coordinator. Whether you simply want a Master of Ceremonies or a full-fledged guide, SN DJ Entertainment offers everything you need to keep your special day moving to the beat. Dancing is undeniably a huge com- ponent of wedding entertainment, as well, and their can be a lot of pressure felt by the bride and groom to get it right when all eyes in the room are fixed on the for that all-important First Dance. Due to the fact that some of us are born with two left feet and not an Brett Birdsong Photography ounce of rhythm, dancing in public can 52 Coastal Weddings Magazine
E N T E R TA I N M E N T be a daunting prospect—all the more so on the most important day of your life—so having some of the pressure taken off by getting professional help (and not the kind that requires you to open up about your relationship with your mother while you sit on a couch) can go a long way. It’s incredibly important to have the right instructor, someone who puts you at ease and unlocks your inner Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers; and at Fred Astaire Dance Studio Pensacola, that’s pre- cisely what they do. “We’re certified to teach ballroom dancing and can provide any type of dance to fit the couple’s vision,” says Danielle Oplaski, who co-owns the studio with Isidro Erreguin and together boast a com- bined 19 years of teaching, competing and dance studio management. “We provide a level of service similar to a wedding planner when it comes to the dancing portion of the wedding and work with them on whatever they want to complete their vision for that day! Regardless of who is doing the dancing—the couple themselves, the parents with newly-married, or even the entire wedding party—we make sure to understand the dimensions of the floor and the layout of the room as well as the dress and shoes that the bride is wearing, and we even help them plan when and how the dance will be incorporated into the evening Fall 2019 53
E N T E R TA I N M E N T so that they are over-prepared and left with no questions or surprises.” No wedding is complete with- out transportation to and from the ceremony and the reception—and especially when it comes time to make the great escape at the end of the evening to start the honeymoon. It can’t be just any old car—not if you really want to capture everyone’s attention and make it memorable, and that’s exactly what Celepretty Limo does every time they roll. As Pensac- ola’s only car service offering Rolls Royce and Bentleys for the big day, Celepretty holds prime parking in the market, and couples fall in love with the sense of grandeur and the unde- niable style and sophistication that riding in such beautiful cars brings. Celepretty Limo / Aislinn Kate Photography “Couples love the way that hiring our services us adds a little bling and a lot of luxury to their wedding, and it’s a great way for them to relax to and from the event,” says owner Steven DeCesare, who started the company in 2012 and offers those luxurious rides for celebrations and events of all kinds throughout the Pensacola area. Taking luxury to noble heights, owner of WeddingCar2Go Robbie Kimball offers his couples what he calls “the royal touch,” renting the chauffeured use of his 1960 Jaguar Austin Princess Limousine. As one of the only 200 Princess models ever made, every ride is an exclusive and unique experience that’s sure to make you feel like you’re the king and queen of your day. “It’s a really special Wedding Car 2 G0 / East Hill Photo thing that couples love, and it makes an incredible memory for them,” says Kimball, who started the company in 2016.
