New Years Eve weddings are always a blast! When I first sat down for an initial consultation with John and Julie to discuss their wedding, the three of us hit it off immediately. They began to explain what they were looking for, and I knew we could provide it. Quite frankly, they wanted to create a fun party to celebrate the New Year. But of course, it was also important that the night was a celebration of the two of them. We accomplished joining the two perfectly.

And to top it off, they chose of one my personal favorite venues… the beautiful Bella Sera.

Here are a few pre-guest photos.

For their first dance, they chose “Me and You” by Kenny Chesney. Also one of my personal favorites – it’s a special song for my wife and I.

The parent dances.

Here are some photos that we snapped as we progressed towards midnight.

We projected a live stream of Times Square in New York City as we approached midnight. The below photo shows how we projected the live feed on to the wall. The picture looks a bit faded because the camera flash washed it out, but it actually looked great up on the wall.

Be sure to watch the video highlights above to see some video of what our live stream projection looked like.

And now… Happy New Year! Here are some more photos after everyone clanked glasses and exchanged 12am New Year kisses.

It’s always a pleasure to work with clients who have a very definitive idea in their mind of how they want their big day. Aaron is no stranger to the event business. In fact, he’s worked in hotel event management for years, so he knows a good event from a bad event. When Aaron initially contacted me and explained what he and Christina were looking for, I was happy that our services would fit them well.

Alright, to the photos! Here are a few setup and “pre-guest” photos:

Aaron and Christina made an excellent choice with their first dance song: “Shelter” by Ray LaMontagne.

The parent dances:

And here are more photos that we snapped throughout the night. The dance floor was packed from the moment we began until the very last song!
