More Green Screen Photo Favors & Photo Booth Pictures

Our Green Screen Photo Favors continue to be one of the biggest highlights at our festive parties. 



The Station or Booth hardly ever has long lines because everyone is enjoying themselves on our dancefloor.  So everyone gets a chance to leisurely go over with their friends and families and get a little creative visuals happening.

Here's another sample from one of our previous parties.  What I like is the level of animation in most of the shots.  The clean high quality digital photos are great keepsakes for everyone, and believe no one ever throws these away.

Call about having the green screen at your next occasion.

Lori and Tony's Wedding at Il Tulipano - Elegance, Wildness & Fun - An Unforgettable Night


Lori and Tony are two of the sweetest people you ever want to meet.  I first met Tony a few years back at his friend Ari's Wedding, at one of the most memorable weddings ever.  LSNY had the privilege of creating the entertainment for Ari and his lovely bride Aurelia's wedding (I just recently learned they have an 18 month old boy and I got to see a picture that night) 

Last year I got to meet Tony's fiancee Lori at Simone and Diana's wedding.  I was so happy they called us for their wedding.  This group of friends LOVE to get crazy and it's a blast being able to provide the spark. 

Getting to know Lori and Tony over the course of our planning, it doesn't take long to know you want the very best for them.  Tony always has a smile for everyone.  And Lori is the light in his eyes.     

Bathed in purple up lights from the beginning, Il Tulipano served an elegant setting for what was to be a very FESTIVE night. Both toasts from Best Man and Matron of honor threw down the gauntlet for the Gasperino's regarding family.  BM Patrick said "I have 3 kids you gotta get started!  Like right now."

Matron of honor Amy - Lori's sister said about having little ones to spoil, "25 would be good."  Well, they might be able to get a reality show out of it.

They'll be more video.  The above just scratched a tiny bit of the surface of the night.  Below is how Lori and Tony felt about their wedding night.

 
Dear Michael,


Tony and I would like to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping make our wedding day the best day of our lives.  From the moment we saw you in action at our friend’s wedding last year, we knew we wanted you to be part of our big day.

Throughout the whole process you were so much more than our wedding entertainment---it was almost as if you were my wedding coordinator helping me perfect all of the most important details for the evening (the details that everyone will remember for years to come) .  

You helped up personalize and create such an unforgettable evening and made that part of the planning completely stress free.  We are already getting messages from friends that yesterday was ‘the best wedding ever’.  Thank you for helping make that possible!!!


I can’t thank you enough for all of your guidance and helpful suggestions.  We couldn’t have asked for a more fun wedding!!!

We were certainly keep you mind should we need entertainment for a party in the future and hope to see you at our next friend’s wedding!

All the best,

Lori & Tony Gasperino

Lori and Tony you are so welcome. The very best to you and your family.  With Love.  Michael.

Brooke and Kendall's Wedding - Finding Each Other Again after So Long

So many stories that touch my heart in this amazing industry we're in.  Some seem so much like real life Fairy Tales.  In fact many of my recent and upcoming wedding have shared a similar theme.


Brooke and Kendall dance with their nieces and nephews
 Boy meets girl when they are both very young. 

Boy and girl become good friends. 

Boy and girl go out. 

After school boy and girl go their separte ways. 

Later in life they somehow find their way back and realize no one else could fill the place that the other did.

They get married.

This is very much the story of Brooke and Kendall. They met while in Holy Spirit High School in Absecon, New Jersey.  Going through some wonderful times and heartbreaking times together, Kendall moved to Minnesota after high school. 

6 long years later Brooke visited him there and they realized their love was too strong to be so far separated.

But just as Kendall was going to move back to NJ,  Brooke was heading to Florida to get her master's degree.  But like movies and fairy tales Kendall changed plans a few months later and went to Florida. 

Brooke now works at the Miami Veterans Affairs Hospital on Spinal cord injuries and Kendall is completing his double major in business marketing and American history.  Here's their intro....



Their reception had all the charm and beauty of historic Smithville Inn where the ocassion was hosted.  Kendall in his toast was clearly moved at his "good fortune that Brooke came to find him in Minnesota.  It was everyone who attended's great good fortune as well.

This was no typical wedding reception. Kendall's family perform at every function they attend and when Brooke's family joined in for a rendition of Monty Python's "The Bright Side of Life" you know this was a crowd ready for anything and everything.

Another of the many highlights of the night was The Newlywed Game.



The party took off from 9:30 to the end with Kendall's sister Nicole providing old Tina Turner Proud Mary
Rolling on a River energy, and the nephews and nieces pulling out tricks on the floor. 

Brooke's mother Lorey Bird has also not aged in the 12 years since I've known her and danced like she was 25 years old.  Lorey is the former Director of Special Events at Harrah's Properties in Atlantic City as I mentioned on the previous post.  She added neat little touches by having the nieces dressed like Butterflies and the nephews like Princes. 

And if you watch the first dance intro you'll see that it worked well in the theme.

Her husband Gerry is a lucky man, and now so is Kendall.

Congratulations to the the Westmorelands and Bird families!
