Amanda and Andrew met nine years ago in High School. Their wedding looked like they started planning the day they met! On Saturday, September 27th2014 at The Vineyards in Simi Valley, they became “Amandrew.” The ceremony was beautiful and presided over by Andrew’s Grandfather. For the Grand Entrance, each couple came into their own song, followed by the newlyweds and straight into their first dance. Their custom first dance mix was a combination of three songs ending with The Wobble, at which time the entire bridal party joined in. Not long into the song, the rest of the guests jumped out to the dance floor to get in on the fun.
The Vineyards is a beautiful venue, and the combination of lighting, drapery, and crystal beads made the room look exquisite. Their coordinator from the venue, Brittany, made sure every detail was executed with perfection. It’s been a few years since I have worked at The Vineyards, but their new look and outstanding service makes me want to go back soon.
After the Bouquet and Garter toss, we started the “After Party,” a non-stop block of high energy dancing. Amanda got on the stage where I was MCing and DJing and was quickly joined by her girlfriends and sorority sisters. What ensued could only be described as NUTS! The stage was packed with people dancing to my right and left. Even I got caught up in the fun and danced along with everyone. With well over half the 200+ guests remaining, we finished the night on the highest of high notes and sent everyone off to the next After Party at The Dugout. What A Night!
