After meeting on site at The Dolphin Bay with this adorable couple a month ago, we couldn’t wait to do this wedding and reception, especially considering that Julia originally had October 10th as her date, but moved it to the 11th because I was booked on the 10th. The upbeat and fun personalities of Mike and Julia was a guarantee for a fun-filled day and evening, and they didn’t let us down. Julia was pregnant with twins, and looked stunning in her beautiful and flattering wedding dress. The glow about this couple wasn’t only because of the lives within Julia, but also because of the love between the two of them. One of the most impressive facts about this couple is the fact that they found each other through an online dating service. It was obvious that this was a true match, and it was refreshing to see that this avenue of dating does have it’s share of success stories. The radiance of the love of this couple was complimented with the sounds of the ocean and the sunshine at the ceremony on the bluffs of Shell Beach. The reception was held inside at the restaurant on site, Lido. We had the pleasure of doing the decor up-lighting inside Lido. We complimented the colors of the maid of honor’s dress and the flowers by setting and controlling the lights with the colors of fuschia and a peachy orange. The reception started with all the lights set to fushia and the room glowed with this color until the festivities began. We then faded the fushia into the peachy orange. During the dancing we faded into a combo of the two colors. Throughout the rest of the night we continued to fade in and out of these colors and during open dancing the lights flashed to the beat of the music. It was a nice addition to the flowers and other decorations and added a warm ambience to the venue. Mike and Julia mentioned several times how pleased they were with the lighting and were happy that they decided to make this an addition to their decorations. The reception was upbeat; adults and kids of all ages were laughing, dancing and living in the joy of this occasion. Everyone was having such a great time that the Mellingers decided to add another half hour of dancing to their night; it just didn’t seem right to end it when everyone was having such a great time! This was an enjoyable event on all levels, and we feel honored to have been a part of it. Thank you Mike and Julia and best of luck on your future as a couple and as the parents of twins.
Mike & Julia’s review from WeddingWire:
Chris was more than I could have imagined… He was just perfect! Having a destination wedding could have been a bit stressful but Chris was wonderful from the moment we first spoke over the phone till the wedding day! I even changed our wedding day because I just knew he would make my wedding a hit. His creative side along with his professionalism made it all worth it. He always returned my emails and calls in a timely manner which was a big plus for me. In addition, he was very helpful in providing me with names/telephone numbers for other vendors which I thought was very sweet! I wish him the best of luck in this industry and many more weddings to DJ~
