Iris & Casey's fun wedding celebration

December 8 marked the wedding of IRIS & CASEY. They wanted a fun, unique, and entertaining party full of surprises! And we helped them to create it. Throughout the night, we surprised the guests with a variety of games and activities to keep them entertained and smiling throughout the night. The biggest surprise was a toast that Iris, the videographer, and I knew about, and the "victim" was the groom! This was the surprise:

Casey is very very close to one of his cousins. In fact, in our meetings, Casey had mentioned that his cousin Ty would have been one of the members of the wedding party. Unfortunately, for one reason or another, Ty could not make it to the wedding. So Iris & I conspired to have him be there...by having him record a toast and greetings to the newlyweds, which we would play back at the reception. Ty made the toast even more special by recording a VIDEO toast, so not only did Casey get to hear his cousin on his wedding day, but he got to SEE Ty...

Watching Casey's reaction as he witnessed this surprise was one of the most dramatic moments of the reception. It's moments like these that remind me of how much of an impact a good Master of Ceremonies & entertainer can make to the success of the reception.
