NICK & ANGELINA - LOVE IS IN THE AIR AT THE MONTELUCIA

NICKALENA -   WHAT A FABULOUS PARTY - DID I SAY PARTY , I MEANT WEDDING - YOU WOULD HAVE THOUGHT IT WAS A FUN PARTY BECUASE ALL THE GUEST WANTED TO DO WAS DANCE - I LOVE THAT !  THE DANCE FLOOR WAS PACKED ALL NIGHT LONG AFTER WE GOT THROUGH ALL THE FORMAL STUFF. THE COUPLE  PICKED SOME GREAT MUSIC OUT FOR THEIR WEDDING FROM SOME HOT LATIN HITS TO THE SALSA MUSIC THEY DANCED TO AND THEN THE TOP 40. IT MAKES IT SO MUCH EASIER FOR A WEDDING DJ WHEN THE COUPLE MAKES GREAT CHOICES IN THE MUSIC SELECTION.

NICK AND ANGELINA FOUND US THROUGH ONE OF OUR PAST COUPLES WHO WE DID THEIR WEDDING FOR A FEW YEARS BACK - IT'S SUCH A WONDERFUL COMPLIMENT TO GET REFERRED BY ONE OF OUR PAST CLIENTS - THANK YOU PORTELAS !
THE WEDDING WAS HELD AT THE MONTELUCIA RESORT AND SPA IN PARADISE VALLEY WHICH IS ALSO VOTED ONE OF THE TOP RESORTS IN THE COUNTRY #13 TO BE EXACT FROM TRAVEL AND LEISURE MAGAZINE . I WAS SO IMPRESSED BY ALL THE LITTLE THINGS THE STAFF DOES THROUGH OUT THE NIGHT TO MAKE THE EVENT GO OFF PERFECTLY. I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU ALL WHO ARE READING THIS - FOR THOSE OF US WHO SEE MANY DIFFERENT VENUES THROUGH OUT THE SEASON AND YEARS , WHEN YOU COME ACROSS GREAT SERVICE IT DOES GET NOTICED BY US VENDORS AND WE SHARE THAT !  ONE OF THE SMALL THINGS WHICH IMPRESSED ME THE MOST WAS ABOUT 30 MINUTES PRIOR TO THE BALLROOM DOORS OPENING - THE ENTIRE STAFF AT THE RESORT SWARMED THE ROOM AND STARTED SHINING THE WINE GLASSES ON THE ROOM SO THEY WOULD SPARKLE !  WHEN I SAY STAFF I MEAN EVERYONE - MANAGERS , SALES , BANQUETS, MAYBE A GOLF CART DRIVER WAS EVEN IN THERE !   THE STAFF WAS AMAZING AND FRIENDLY AND SO NICE THE ENTIRE TIME.

THE BRIDE AND GROOM DID SOMETHING THAT I SEE ABOUT ONCE A WEDDING SEASON AND THAT IS THEME YOUR WEDDING - IF YOU DO IT WELL  ITS GREAT ! THEY DID THE THEME HOLLYWOOD / MOVIE THEME.  THEY PLACED MOVIE POSTERS FRAMED THROUGH OUT THE ROOM AND THE FAVORS WERE LITTLE COOKIE OSCARS , THEY EVEN MADE THEIR OWN PLAY BILL . I WILL SAY THAT WAS THE MOST UNIQUE PROGRAM I HAVE SEEN IN ALL  MY YEARS IN THE WEDDING INDUSTRY . LOVED IT .

DURING COCKTAIL HOUR THEY HAD A ALL FEMALE MARIACHI GROUP PLAY FOR THE GUEST  TO TIE IN SOME OF THEIR LATIN HERITAGE . THEN RIGHT AFTER GRAND ENTRANCE THE COUPLE SUPRISED EVERYONE AND DID A SALSA DANCE FOR THE GUEST . tHEY ACTUALLY MET AT A SALSA EVENT . THE REST IS HISTORY .
