11.4.11 - Bel-Aire Clarion Hotel - Erie, PA

There is nothing more important in this world than family. And, when you combine two families that have the same values and ideas, it couldn't be more perfect! That's certainly the case for Lisa and Jeff, as family members and good friends were a key part of their bridal party, as well as those in attendance.

Lisa and Jeff picked the beautiful Bel-Aire Clarion Hotel in Erie for their wedding reception on Friday night. The Regency Ballroom looked simply elegant, with the chair covers and flowers from Alburn Florist. Lisa and Jeff, in our consultation, chose one of my custom uplighting packages, picking the color white. Lisa and Jeff also designed a custom monogram, which I projected on the dance floor and throughout the reception.

As guests arrived, they were treated to delicious hors d'oevres. Once the cocktail hour was complete, everyone took their seats for the formal introductions of parents, the bridal party and Lisa and Jeff. The happy couple cut their cake right after being introduced, then shared their first dance as a married couple. It was truly a moment that was breathtaking! A delicious sit down dinner was then enjoyed by all. After dinner, Jeff danced with his Mom, Sally, and I took that moment and made it even more special by inviting all the mothers and sons in attendance to join them on the dance floor. From that moment on, guests made their way to the dance floor to enjoy dancing all night long. Lisa termed the evening "fun overload!" It was definitely a magical night and one that everyone enjoyed for sure!

My thanks go out to Lisa Di Luzio and Karen Catalde at the Bel-Aire for their hospitality and extraordinary service, the Bel-Aire staff for their professionalism, Heather Mencer from Mencer Photography and, of course, to you Lisa and Jeff! Lisa, it was an honor to be a part of another wedding in your family, Jeff it was a pleasure to meet your family members, and nice to everyone dancing the night away! I am very grateful for having been chosen as your entertainment, and wish you the very best in your married lives together!
