What can one say about a couple like Brittany & Colin? All they wanted their wedding reception to be was epic fun, and I believe we nailed it. These two loved games and video games, and throughout the night little ties in were made. For example, Colin’s son, Thaine, saved the day when the officiant, Matthew, asked for the rings – which apparently none of the groomsmen had with them. But alas, Thaine was our hero as he stood up, said “I got them!” delivered the rings to the altar as I played the treasure chest sound effect from The Legend of Zelda. Or, for the Dollar Pass game, the background music in which to pass the dollar around to was the Super Mario Bros. theme.  Little things make a difference.
We also flipped the entire script on this reception and ran with an East Coast-style reception itinerary, which typically provides more dancing time – something Colin & Brittany both wanted. Within moments of the Grand Entrance (the song skits were hilarious – well-done wedding party!) and Brittany & Colin’s First Dance, guests were on the dance floor until it was time for the serving of the entrees. Â Then, we moved into Toasts, followed by Colin’s dance with his mother, Song, and then Brittany’s dance with her father, Greg. Why did we switch the order? Because Greg & Brittany had a special little surprise at the end of their dance: Haddaway’s “What Is Love?” was scratched in and they busted out some funky dance moves which led to getting everyone back on the dance floor.
But Colin & Brittany had one more surprise up their sleeve, or should I say… pant leg. After the Cake Cutting, it was time for the Bouquet Toss. Right as Brittany went to toss the bouquet, it was revealed that Colin was wearing the garter, and as a result, Brittany removed the garter from Colin’s leg while he held her bouquet! Once removed, Colin tossed the bouquet to the ladies, and Brittany tossed the garter to the men and the party was fully rockin’ until the sparkler send-off to conclude Brittany & Colin’s EPIC night!
Colin & Brittany’s Five-Star Review
Tony was AMAZING for our wedding! Not only is he professional, but he is also very fun to work with. Tony has a wonderful creative streak that worked perfectly for our wedding theme (Boardwalk Arcade). He’s easily able to engage others of all backgrounds, ages, and types to come and join in the party! We think one of his best qualities is how he always finds a way to make things work, so you can have the day of your dreams, and the party of your life. You can’t go wrong with Tony Schwartz, he is top of the line!
