Changes to blog and upcoming articles

Coming soon!  Documenting of the Park-Johnson reception held on August 15, 2009 and the Klag-Banks reception on August 22, 2009.

Due to my recent acceptance of a temporary daytime assignment it will become necessary to scale back somewhat on the detailed content of my wedding reporting. Because of  time constraints, I will be eliminating the narrative detailing the order of events and the chronological set list of the music played.  I will retain the vendor list and a selection of photos for now.

Thanks for your understanding.  I regret having to do this but have no alternative at this point in time.

Chris and Lauren Bitetto-August 8, 2009

Exactly one year from their engagement date of 08/08/08 Lauren Porter and Christopher Bitetto were married on a hot August afternoon.  Joining Lauren and Chris in the celebration were people from all parts of the country, including a large contingent of friends and family from Chris’ home town of Hackensack, New Jersey.

The elegant Radisson Quad City Plaza was the scene of the party following a 2PM ceremony at Grace Lutheran Church in Davenport.  Wedding guests enjoyed cocktails in the exotic plant-filled atrium of the hotel from 5 until 6 PM.  Lauren and Chris descended the grand staircase into the atrium at 5:30 PM to join their guests.  Dinner chimes sounded and the guests filed into ballroom which was expertly decorated in the colors of Black, Orange and Deep Pink.

At 6:15 PM the wedding party began their grand entrance.  Brad and Joan Porter, parents of the bride entered to the music of Celebration by Kool & the Gang.  Butch and Darlene Bitetto, Parents of the Groom, strolled into the room with the Godfather Theme as their musical backdrop, to the delight of the crowd.

The rest of the wedding party included Nicky Plump, David Bucco, Keith Oldham, Lauren Leavell, Sean Stender, Ralph Denisco, Brandi Bitetto, Mike Rattacasa, Amanda Gripp, Chris Labrosse, Betsy Cordt, and Jack Porter.  The Maid of Honor was Katherine Holder and the Best Man was Rich Bitetto.  Lauren and Chris made a spectacular entrance to “Swagga Like Us” by MIA.

Guests were then treated to the very first reading of Chris and Lauren’s love story, which featured a beachfront marriage proposal and a surprise party for Lauren.  Guests enjoyed hearing about the couple’s first meeting where neither Chris nor Lauren made a great first impression on each other.  Fortunately, first impressions are not always deal breakers, and later in the love story Chris and Lauren discovered the great qualities about each other that they grew to cherish.

After the Love Story, Chris and Lauren danced their very first dance as husband and wife to “Lost in this Moment” by Big & Rich.  Chris and Lauren then cut their wedding cake.  Just prior to dinner, Brad Porter, Father of the Bride, welcomed the guests.  During the latter portion of the dinner hour guests enjoyed viewing a photo montage of Chris and Lauren’s lives.

The first toast was presented by Rich Bitetto, Best Man, who reassured the guests that, despite the Godfather-type entrance, his family was not a part of the New Jersey Mafia.  Rich related some stories about his brother’s adventures as a state champion wrestler and how his journey took him to UNI where he met his future bride.  Katherine Holder, Maid of Honor, also spoke about her past experiences with Lauren and how well Lauren and Chris went together.

Rebecca and Trent-August 1, 2009

The hills of Dubuque Iowa formed a picturesque point of convergence for carloads of friendly folks from the states of Minnesota and North Dakota.  Family and friends made the trip southward to celebrate the marriage of Rebecca Jensen and Trent Luoma at the St. Columbkille Catholic Church on Rush Street.  After the 1:30 PM ceremony the guests headed to the Best Western Midway Hotel on Dodge Street for a great meal and party.

Rebecca and Trent's Wedding Cake

Decor reflected wedding colors of Cornflower Blue and Bright Yellow

At 4:00 PM the doors to the banquet room were opened and about 125 guests filed in.  The room was decorated in the wedding colors of cornflower blue and bright yellow, featuring centerpieces of blue vases and yellow roses.  The head table was also accented with blue votive candles.  Appetizers were served until the bridal party’s arrival at 5:00 PM.

We “rolled out the barrel” for the wedding party as they entered the room to “Beer Barrel Polka” by Myron Floren.  Members of the wedding party included parents Jack & Karen Jensen and Arnold & Sandra Luoma, ushers Hector Quintana & Rick Breske and Personal Attendant Julie Grieves.  Bridesmaids and Groomsmen were Jamie Landman, John Willett, Tisha Luoma and Steve Jensen.  The Maid of Honor was Amanda Moen and the Best Man was Troy Simonsen.

Trent helps his new bride out of the limo.

Rebecca and Trent performed the ceremonial cake cutting immediately after entering the banquet room.  In preparation for the toast, sweet cranberry wine from the Stone Cliff Winery in Dubuque was served to all.  Toasts were offered by Troy Simonsen and Amanda Moen.  Welcome speeches were presented by Jack Jensen and also the Bride and Groom, Rebecca and Trent.

Deacon Bill Biver offered a blessing and then the guests were treated to a fantastic buffet featuring roast beef and truly awesome mashed potatoes.  Dinner music was a selection of light classical compositions which were occasionally interrupted in order for the guests to sing to the new bride and groom.

After dinner friends and family enjoyed hearing Rebecca and Trent’s Love Story which was opened and read for the very first time.  The Love Story featured a University of North Dakota meeting and courtship along with Trent’s surprising marriage proposal.  Rebecca and Trent’s Love Story continued with their first Formal Dance to kick off the evening’s fun on the dance floor!

Becky and Justan-July 25, 2009

Tropical, colorful and vibrant are words that could be used to describe the atmosphere at the Milan Community Center on Saturday the 25^th of July.  Becky and Justan’s wedding reception featured a combination of beautiful tropical flowers, custom classic automobiles and illuminated palm trees.

Tropical Floral Arrangements by Gayle Each-Mother of the Groom

Becky Griffin and Justan Each have known each other for 8 years and it was only fitting that their wedding took place on one of the most picture perfect days of the summer.  A sunny and breezy Saturday with temperatures in the low 80’s fit well with their summer colors of Black, White, Pink, Lime Green, Orange and Yellow.

After a 3 pm ceremony Becky and Justan’s guests crossed the Rock River into Milan Illinois for the reception.  Meanwhile, the bridal party all boarded a collection of custom and classic cars owned by friends and members of the family.  The parade of various restored automobiles, convertibles and trucks had to be quite a sight as they made their way to the reception.    A reserved section of the parking lot awaited them as they arrived at the Community Center around 4:30 PM.

Custom cars owned by family and friends served as transportation for the bridal party.

What could be better than a red Corvette!

Guests enjoyed a selection of appetizers and a chocolate fountain from All American Chocolate while waiting for the bridal party.

Chocolate Treats!

After some photographs in the gazebo the wedding party made their grand entrance across the expansive community center dance floor.  Members of the wedding party included Mona Griffin, Gary Griffin, Wayne Each, Gayle Each, Brendan Brown, Paul Steward, Todd Nelson, Seth Ryan, Gabrielle Griffin, Marlee Griffin, Mason Griffin, Kadin Each, Laura Steward, Melanie Bizarre, Anna Ryan and Roy Schindler.  Bridesmaids and Groomsmen included Natalie Westercamp, Kurt Schindler, Theresa Smith, Todd Abramson, Trisha Humlick, Mike Skahill, Amy McCullough, Eric Griffin, Amy Oliger, Michael Griffin, Trisha Griffin, Jonathon Taylor, Melissa Griffin and Kyle Each.

Becky and Justan cut their wedding cake and then it was time for a tasty buffet catered by Kalona Kountry Katering.  Roast beef and chicken were featured, along with vegetables, cheesy potatoes and a great salad.

After dinner Becky and Justan were toasted by Matron’s of Honor Trisha Griffin and Melissa Griffin.  The two Best Men, Jonathon Taylor and Kyle Each also presented a toast, in addition to Eric and Michael Griffin, Groomsmen.  Trophies were awarded to the owners of the custom cars used to transport the bridal party to the reception.

Beautiful Table Centerpieces by Gayle Each Added A Tropical Flair to Becky and Justan's Reception!

Becky and Justan’s Love Story was then presented to the guests.  Their Love Story featured Justan’s very original marriage proposal to Becky which was aired on television on the night of the proposal.  Those in attendance then witnessed the couple continue their love story with their first formal dance as husband and wife.

You do the Hokey Pokey and you turn yourself around....that's what it's all about!

Jeff and Betsy Adams-July 18, 2009

Knowing that Betsy and Jeff are one of the most enthusiastic couples I have worked with recently, I was not the least bit surprised that their wedding guests were an energized group.  Guests were in attendance from many locales, including Chicago, the East Coast, Wisconsin and many others.   And they were all truly thrilled to be a part of the wedding of Betsy Zwit and Jeff Adams.

"Cut Out For Each Other" Place Cards

Planning a wedding for mid July typically involves preparing for lots of heat and humidity.  Such was not the case on July 18, 2009 as unseasonably cool and dry weather prevailed.  After a 1:00 PM ceremony at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Davenport guests had some time to unwind before arriving at the i-wireless center for a 5:00 PM reception.  The bridal party took some time for a photo shoot on the boat docks as approximately 200 guests filed into the banquet room decorated in the wedding colors of Charcoal Gray and Lipstick Red.

Wedding Party hams it up for photographer on the boat docks.

The bridal party made a spectacular entrance into the room at 5:45 PM.   Members of the bridal party included in the entrance were grandparents Liz Brelsford, Jean Adams, and Joe and Marge Novinska.  Parents included Lori Brelsford, Richard Zwit and Tim & Patricia Adams.  The remainder of the wedding party featured Dave Adams, Mikey Adams, Jordan Gremchuk, Ella Vincent, Ben Tollard, Nathan Tollard, Tracey Schulz, Kate VenHorst and Kelly Flenker.  Bridesmaids and Groomsmen included Justine Gremchuk, Charlie Adams, Jenn Vincent, Aaron Alcorn, Evie Zwit, Andy Adams, Tina Zwit, Bryan Tallyn, Tiffany Haugh and Matt Adams.  The Matron of Honor was Pamela Tollard and The Best Man was Preston Vincent.

Mr. and Mrs. Adams burst into the room through a paper frame on which was written the words “Jeff Loves Betsy” in green lettering.  “John Deere Green” by Joe Diffie was the musical backdrop for their entrance.  Jeff and Betsy then performed a well-choreographed first dance to a custom mix of “Heaven” by DJ Sammy.

Traditional cake cutting moment.

Toasts were presented by Pamela Tollard and Preston Vincent.  Betsy and Jeff then formally welcomed their guests and spoke briefly.  Uncle Ken Brelsford offered a prayer and  the guests were treated to a sit down dinner.

Dancing began after dinner, kicked off by a rousing Bridal Party dance to “Nothin’ But A Good Time” by Poison.  This was a high energy group who liked to dance!    Some of the highlights of the dance included a serenade to the Bride by Fraternity Alpha Gamma Rho.  The men in the bridal party also changed from their formal attire at some point in the evening into Tuxedo Print T-Shirts.

The casual lounge area between the two banquet rooms featured a spectacular fondant wedding cake created by Robin at Le Cake.   The cake, situated on the dance floor in the center of the room, was accented by flowers, rhinestones and a rhinestone studded serving set.  This was one of the most photographed cakes I have seen in quite some time.

Table settings and floral arrangements were designed to go with the color theme of Black, White and Rhinestone.

The bridal party arrived in a VIP limo around 7:40 or so and entered the banquet room to “Addicted to Love” by Robert Palmer.  Members of the bridal party included: Tyler Block, Justin Roski, Mark Ketcham, James Lindaman, Julia Solis, Jana Lecander, Megan Lecander, Matt Peterson, Niki Lecander, Josh Hemberger, Abby Zimmerman, Matt Solis, Stephanie Angelakis, Steve Zimmerman, Katie Karll and Troy Zimmerman.  A plated dinner was served immediately, featuring New York Strip, Sesame Marinated Shrimp and Asparagus.

Jen and Justin duDomaine-July 4, 2009

A Wedding To Remember

Fireworks, picnics, parades and sparklers will forever mark Jen and Justin’s wedding anniversary, as they chose to become one on the 4^th of July, 2009.  The banquet rooms at Radisson Quad City Plaza were the sites of both the ceremony and reception at 6:00 PM.

Jen Tracy and Justin duDomaine contracted with me to provide sound support for their ceremony as well as the reception entertainment services.  I arrived at the Radisson to find the reception room expertly decorated in the wedding colors of Black and Champagne with Red accents.  Suspended above the dance floor were red petals with blue L.E.D. lights spaced to provide a starlite effect.  The head table and cake table were accented with a generous amount of red votive candles.  Black linens and chair covers with red accents were provided by Lynn at Clazzy Designs.

After the 6PM ceremony guests enjoyed a cocktail in the atrium area of the hotel.  The banquet room was opened at 7:30 PM and the guests were amazed to see the appearance of the room.  The bridal party was introduced shortly thereafter.  Members of the bridal party included Tommy Tate, Ben Tracy, Molly Lovell, Matthew Hjerpe, Donald Bolton, Brigette Tracy, Aaron Seiter, Courtney Adams, Joe Hill, Amanda Sperry, John Frey, Rebecca Quick, Michael duDomaine.  Parents of the bride are Jean and Tom Tate and Joe and Sue Tracy.  The grooms parents are Reg and Marywill duDomaine.

After cutting the wedding cake toasts were proposed by Best Man Michael duDomaine and Maid of Honor Rebecca Quick.  A plated dinner was served featuring a selection of Chicken or Salmon.

A photo montage was presented during the dinner hour, featuring the lives of Jen Tracy and Justin duDomaine.  The mother of the groom, Marywill also proposed an “Iowa Field of Dreams” toast during dinner.  In lieu of glass clinking, guests were encouraged to sing in order to make Jen and Justin kiss.  There were many entertaining songs done by some talented guests, including a slightly modified version of “Mama Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboys” sung by the fathers.

Amy and George Pitcher III, June 27, 2009

The series of events leading up to the marriage of Amy Rains and George Pitcher III on June 27, 2009 goes back to Amy and George meeting while in 1st Grade.  More on that later.  Their wedding day was a combination of typical Midwestern Summer heat along with a good old-fashioned thunderstorm to liven up the dinner hour.

The ceremony joining Amy and George took place at 1:30 PM at St. Anthony’s Church in Davenport Iowa.  A grand reception was held at the iwireless center in Moline Illinois immediately following the ceremony.  Guests arrived at the reception hall at 3:00 PM to find tables set in the color theme of Cobalt and Blue Jay.  The bridal party arrived shortly afterwards and Amy and George greeted all of their guests individually.  A video montage featuring Amy and George was presented to the guests at 4:00 PM.

The bridal party was introduced at 4:30 PM.  Canon in D by guitarist Jerry C was the musical backdrop for their dramatic entrance.  Members of the bridal party included Tonia Rogers, Nick Ross, Kelly Carlson, Alex Velez, Carolyn Van Dorn, Chris Paone, Teresa Gardner, Stephen Kehoe, Traci Ratcliff, Ann Burke, Michael King, Camille Rains and Matthew Pitcher.  Just prior to the buffet dinner toasts to Amy and George were presented by Ann Burke and Matthew Pitcher (Matron of Honor and Best Man).  Dinner music was a selection of songs by Michael Buble and Chris Botti.

After dinner and the cake cutting ceremony Amy read a poem she had written to her new husband.  The guests then enjoyed hearing Amy and George’s Love Story as presented by Black Tie Entertainment.  As mentioned at the beginning of this article, Amy and George have known each other since 1^st Grade.  Their story is one of always being a part of each other’s lives but never really finding that they were meant to be together until the time was exactly right.  What matters is that Amy and George will now spend the rest of their time together, exactly as it was meant to be.

Guests then watched Amy and George continue their love story with their first dance as husband and wife.  They danced to “With Your Love” by Journey.  Below is the chronological play list the guests enjoyed as they danced the night away:

Erica and Tim Kahl-June 20, 2009

As I was making the 50 minute drive home from Clinton Iowa late on Saturday night I thought about how my profession affords me the opportunity to “hang out” with delightful people.  And I also began to appreciate seeing those same people at more than one wedding during the course of the year is even more fun!  Such was the case at the wedding reception of Erica Bauer and Tim Kahl.

Reception Site-Frontier Inn Clinton Iowa-Photos in this article by Tim Schaver

I first met Tim Kahl at the wedding reception of Jenny Kline and Josh Horman in March of 2008.  I was their DJ; and Tim was one of their ushers.  Then in March of 2009 Tim was an usher for Jessica Bader and Brandon Horman, and I was, again, the DJ.  This past Saturday it was a pleasure to play the role of DJ again, this time with Tim Kahl taking the honored position of  groom as he married his true love, Erica Bauer.

Erica and Tim’s wedding ceremony took place at 3PM at the Zion United Church of Christ in Lowden Iowa.  Everyone then followed the Route 30 corridor to the Best Western Frontier in Clinton Iowa for the party afterwards.  Guests enjoyed appetizers served near the main ballroom.  There was seating for 400 including the main ballroom, a center room where the buffet was located, and additional seating near the pool area.  Table settings reflected the wedding colors, which were Black and Dark Pink.

The bridal party arrived by bus at around 6:30 PM.  Members of the bridal party included Aaron Horman, Josh Horman, Brandon Horman, Brad Schneider, Amanda Kahl, Melissa Kahl, Selena Wisner, Brayden Reid, Taylor Sutton, Kyle Bauer, Charley Gregoire, Chad Schilling, Leslie Nelson, Trent Siver, Samantha Schroeder, Jared Bentrott, Steffany Patch, Kerry Kahl, Aubrey Bauer, and Andy Kahl.  Parents of the Bride were Kevin and Deb Bauer and Parents of the Groom were Kevin and Beth Kahl.  They were all ready to celebrate!

The bridal party entered the room with AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” as the musical backdrop.  Erica and Tim were cheered loudly as they came in and they headed straight for the cake table for the traditional cake cutting.  Toasts were given by Andy Kahl (Best Man), Aubrey Bauer (Maid of Honor), Kevin Bauer (Father of Bride) and Kevin Kahl (Father of Groom).  Tim and Erica welcomed their guests; Pastor Barb Muhs offered a blessing and then it was time to eat!

Start The Party!

It's Time for a Good Time

During the evening I discovered Tim really is a good singer as demonstrated by his version of “Should’ve Been a Cowboy” by Toby Keith.  It was so good that we all demanded an encore at the end of the evening.  Big Dave (sorry, don’t remember his last name) still sings a great version of “How Do You Like Me Now?” by Toby Keith.  Dave, who also sang at Jenny and Josh’s reception, looks like he stands at about 6 foot 8 tall, and he really gets the crowd going with his Toby Keith rendition.

Big Dave belts out a Toby Keith song. If Toby Keith and Dave got in a bar fight I think I'd put my money on Dave.

Tim's rendition of "Should've Been a Cowboy".

Most of the fine folks who attended the Kahl’s reception come from places like Lowden, Clarence, Wheatland, Calamus and the surrounding area.  If I had the luxury of being able to choose where I would like my car to break down I would select one of those communities.  It’s not hard to imagine that the first person who came along would stop to help, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a familiar face at that.

Here are the vendors who helped Erica and Tim’s day become a special one:

Reception Venue and Catering-Best Western Frontier, Clinton Iowa

Formal Wear-Fields of Tipton Iowa
