I truly believe we are so lucky to do what we do! We witness the most wonderful weddings every single weekend. We have the best brides and grooms too and the following share a few details of one of the most amazing for AMC Video weddings to date…
It is hard to know where to even start with this 3 day event! Our customers (who asked to remain anonymous) planned the most fantastic wedding celebration weekend for their guests that I am sure everyone will be talking about it for years and years to come. They spared no expense to make sure their guests were wowed!
We began our weekend on Friday morning October 23rd at SouthWest Regional airport as we filmed the private jet landing of the bride and groom’s guests. We weren’t quite on the runway, but we close enough to see the bride and groom handing out a white rose to each guest as they exited the plane. I have to admit I was excited about this, as it is something we don’t get to do often.
Guests then boarded a charted bus and headed for lunch at the Ritz-Carlton. Along the way, they stopped to pick up a hitchhiker, carrying a NAPLES sign! He was a national entertainer, known as the Harp Guitar Guy, Andy Wahlberg. At this point, our guests knew they were in store for an amazing weekend as Andy entertained the guests on route to Naples.
After lunch at the Ritz, guests later moved to the Bay Colony Gulf Club for the rehearsal dinner where another surprise awaited – the Kingston Trio! There are too many highlights to mention, but I am sure at this point, guests were too excited to sleep wondering what the next day had in store for everybody!
Finally the wedding day arrived where guests enjoyed a private ceremony at the bride and groom’s home, followed by a trip to the Gray Oaks Country Club in Naples for the reception. The first entertainment performance was done by an act called The Three Waiters. This is really different (especially since they mingled with the actual wait staff serving the guests food), so you may want to check out the link to see more details on this unique and fantastic show.
After diner, guests moved to another room for a montage prepared by AMC Video, followed by the cake cutting ceremony. Meanwhile, the main room was redressed into a night club style decor. As guests made their way back into the main room for the main show of the evening, they had no idea of what was to come since this was kept ultra secret from all – even from us until that evening! Not to be let down in anyway, the curtains opened to the surprise of everybody, featuring none other than THE Dionne Warwick! She was truly phenomenal, a class act and sang many favorites, just a few feet away from the bride and groom and their wowed guests! What an evening to say the least!
Rob, and his team of 4 videographers that day (didn’t want to miss a thing) enjoyed every bit of the performance as well as Michelle Reed Photography who was there to photograph this three day affair. I was not there, since I was at other weddings, but I have all ready peeked through most of the footage and I have to say this bride and groom really know how to throw a party!
Naturally, to protect their privacy and satisfy the various legal requirements of working this event, we are unable able to post any pictures or video clipsbut nonetheless, it was a truly phenominal Naples Florida wedding to attend.
