It’s Monday everyone. Time to kick start the week. To get you up and going I found this fun video of students at Quebec University lip syncing to Black Eyed Peas, I Got A Feeling. What makes this video unique is it is one long single take. The camera never stopped recording.

Monday, September 28th, 2009New Reception Venue by Notre Dame?
Friday, September 25th, 2009
If you are thinking about getting married during 2012 or after there may be a new reception hall for you to choose from! According to Cynthia Basker of Celebrated Events, (BTW the best wedding coordinator in Michiana) at least 2 hotels opening in the Eddy Steet Commons, next to Notre Dame University. One of those hotels is planned to be a full service Marriott with a grand ballroom! So Michiana will have another new reception venue to host your wedding days at. The added bonus is it is within walking range of the Basilica of the Sacred Heart! So I expect it will be especially popular for the brides planning a Notre Dame Wedding. Read all about the new hotels here.

The Key To A Successful Wedding Reception
Sunday, September 6th, 2009The Key To A Really Successful Wedding Reception
With the summer passing into memory, in South Bend / Michiana, I thought I would share with you one of the things I have noticed attending weddings this year. If the reception is a full blown party with dancing, the success of the dancing portion is up to the bride and the groom. As with any function, the guests of honor and the hosts set the tone for any function, but most especially the dancing at a reception. Do not get me wrong, the quality of the entertainment is as important and by some degree more important because if you hire the wrong DJ, band or orchestra for your reception, then there will be nothing you can do to salvage the evening.
But if you have chosen the right entertainment that plays the music that clicks with your guests and you, then how much of a success the reception is, is up to you. By this I mean that if you as the host/guests of honor/bride and groom do not get up and dance every so often, then the reception will be far less than it could be. The most successful wedding receptions I witnessed this past summer were the ones where the bride and groom nearly lived on the dance floor for three or four hours. The host/guests of honor/bride and groom set the tone that their guests will follow. If the entertainment is good there will be dancing, but not nearly as much or as fun as when the bride and groom are participating on a regular basis. If you are outside smoking or do nothing but talking to people around the room then that is what your guests will do. If you are up on the dance floor on a regular basis then your guests will follow you onto the dance floor.
So even if you think you have two left feet, if you are having a band/orchestra/DJ for your wedding reception, then get up on the dance floor and have fun! Your guests will do the same and you party will be all the success that you dreamed it would be!
