Catching Up with A Breezin Bride: Q&A

Here at Breezin Entertainment we want to make sure every moment of our client’s special day is absolutely perfect so that the memories will last a lifetime! To ensure that we are doing just that, we decided to start a new segment where we follow up with some of our past brides to receive some feedback on our services and find out what happens after “I do”. One of our top sales and event coordinators, Jessie Soplinski, has been an official ambassador of fun for a little over eight years. We felt it only be appropriate that for our very first post we talk with Jessie’s very first bride! Lauren Briggs came to us nearly four years ago to help her plan her and her fiance Brett’s big day. Since then, the two have been living their happily ever after here in sunny Florida growing their family! Here is what Lauren had to say: What was your favorite part about working with a Breezin Wedding Coordinator?
    1. My favorite part about working with a Breezin Wedding Coordinator was being able to enjoy my wedding day to the fullest. Instead of worrying about my wedding décor being set up just right or my limo arriving on time, I was able to relax with a mimosa and my bridesmaids. My Matron of Honor (my sister), was also able to enjoy the day with me instead of running around making sure everything was ready to go. Jessie assured me everything would be perfect, and it was!
 Tell us Lauren, what have you learned about your husband /partner since you got married?
  1. Even as a boyfriend, Brett was always very supportive in my endeavors. Since we have gotten married, he has showed me just how supportive and patient he really is. He has been by my side through pharmacy school/residency and has really catered to all my needs. His patience has really shown these past 8 months through pregnancy.
What’s new in your life together as a couple? Have you two moved, traveled, or added any new additions to the family either furry or human?
  1. Since our wedding, we have moved into a new home and our family has grown to include our fur baby, Jovie. We are also expecting our first baby girl, Raelyn, in August.
Have you kept any memorabilia from your wedding such as any printed photos, favors, wedding dress?
  1. Yes! We have a wedding album to remember all the little details of our wedding (thanks to Carrie Wildes Photography). We also kept some party favors like the sunglasses we gave to guests with our names/wedding date. Our friends even still wear them from time to time. I do still have my wedding dress. I enjoy peaking at it every now and then to reminisce.  
Can you tell us something about your wedding that you still remember to this day? OR what  the most memorable thing about your wedding was?
  1. I think the most memorable thing about our wedding was being able to hang out with our friends and family the day after the wedding by the pool.  We planned to have our wedding on a Friday night so that our guests would be able to have a mini beach vacation. The Saturday following our wedding, all of our friends and family who stayed at the hotel hung out with us by the pool.  This way we were able to truly enjoy time with everyone as a married couple.
Looking back, what would be one thing you would change about your wedding?
  1. We had such a wonderful time at our wedding that it is very difficult to come up with anything that we would change.  I will say that having a June wedding in Florida can be rainy, hot, and humid. We did plan for this and held most of our functions in doors, even though we were at the beach. A summer wedding made most sense for us, as this is when we could get extended vacation time to honeymoon.  Having a fall or winter wedding may have allowed for better weather conditions and more fun outdoor functions.
Now that you and Brett are married, what advice would you give a couple that is currently planning their wedding?
  1. Advice I would give to couples planning their wedding is to try to enjoy the planning experience and try to make it fun. It is easy to get caught up in everything being so perfect that we forget what it is all about. My husband and I tried to do everything together and make a fun day of it! Looking for venues, registry shopping, cake and food tastings should be exciting! Don’t stress about the small minor details, it all works out beautifully!
Brides tend to get a bad rep when it comes to wedding coordinating so it was nice to hear Lauren say that the planning was actually one of her favorite parts! At Breezin, it is our mission to make sure our brides are enjoying the process of making their fairy-tale vision a reality. We do this through building relationships with our clients and by understanding what they need to help make their wedding day one of the happiest days of their lives. It is so important to us to create experiences through entertainment and we will continue to strive to deliver just that every single time! Thank you so much to Lauren for taking the time to catch up with us and answer our questions!! Congratulations on you and Brett’s happiness and we can’t wait to meet little baby Raelyn!!

Breaking Down the Latest and Greatest Wedding Trends for 2018

When it comes to wedding planning no bride wants to be out of touch with what’s hot and what’s not. Living in this digital age, most couples want to feel confident that their big day is as “Instagram worthy” as possible. In this post, we are going to be diving into the latest and greatest style trends for all of you future Mrs. and Mr. out there. First things first, let’s start out with the dress or maybe I should say outfit? The jumpsuit is evolving from strutting down runway to walking down the aisle. Brides right now are loving this chic, modern take over a more traditional ball gown and we are loving it! However, if this style is a little too nontraditional for your taste but you still want to be in the now with the the latest trends we have one rule for you: Embrace the lace! Women all over are loving the traditional lace look and incorporating that into some new dress trends such as a 3 layered tiered dress or a two-piece dress. When it comes to bridesmaids dresses new brides are trying to steer away from the common preconception that all bridesmaids hate their dress. The goal going on right now is to make the dresses wearable for more than just that one day. We are seeing a lot of tea style dresses with trendy patterns rather than one solid color. Brides are also wanting to ensure that each one of their girls is wearing something flattering and that they’re comfortable in while they are up there supporting them. So with that we are seeing different styles among bridesmaids dresses, meaning some dresses might have sleeves while others don’t, some might be long some might be short, some dresses may be more form fitting while others are more flowy. The point being that every girl is given the opportunity to rock a dress that is more suited to her style and her body. The attire isn’t the only element of future weddings that is making a change. In regards to the color scheme, we are going to be seeing darker, bold colors. According to an article from Martha Stewart Weddings, one color we are expecting to be making more of an appearance at the big day is purple. Colors such as lilac, plum, wine and mauve are going to be incorporated more so now than ever. Another important component of any wedding to analyze is the decor. Big expensive flower bouquets are becoming a thing of the past and being replaced with more affordable greenery such as dogwood flowers and single stem orchids or a blooming rose. Couples are also incorporating many more photo opportunity elements such as flower walls, balloon arches and large neon signs. Another big trend revolves around gifts for your weddings attendees. Take away items such as customized shot glasses and s’mores packages allows for unique additions that guests will love. One last trend you know here at Breezin’ we needed to analyze was the entertainment. One thing that we noticed not only our research but also in the office is the shift in entertainment needs. More unexpected acts are being booked for weddings such as cigar rollers, caricature artist, tarot card readers, and magicians to guarantee that your guests will be entertained all night.  Hopefully this post gave you some strong insight and maybe even a little inspiration into the big upcoming trends we will be seeing over the next wedding season. If you need some help adding some trendiness into your wedding go ahead and give us a call at 813-463-2272 today or visit https://breezin.com.

A Beginner’s Guide For A New Bride On Music Trends For Weddings

When it comes to the big day there are a few things that matter most – the dress, the location and of course, the music!  The right soundtrack can enhance the atmosphere of any occasion so choosing the right songs for your wedding can be crucial. As with anything, there are new trends that are making its way to the dance floor and songs that once were crowd-pleasers are being replaced. To further analyze, Breezin investigated what the most requested songs have been recently and what direction a lot of couples are going when it comes to their entertainment. One big question that we wanted to answer for our clients was what the more popular option for the reception is – bands or DJs? Well maybe the question should be why not both? One trend that we found becoming much more popular is couples hiring dual entertainment. This allows for couples to be able to get the best of both worlds and keep the music going all night. When comparing the two we found that DJs are a lot of times the more affordable option between the two. They also can offer a wider selection of music. However, when it comes to overall atmosphere enhancement nothing quite beats the energy that live music brings. Another reception trend that we uncovered in our research is that the hits of the 90’s are making a comeback! Artists such as Christina Aguilera , Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys are among some of the most requested wedding songs. This isn’t that crazy when you think about it because most people who are saying “I do” grew up listening to these classic hits. It only makes sense that couples would want some classic throwbacks to help make their reception a memorable one. However, obviously not all the music is from two decades ago! Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, and John Legend are among some of the more current musicians whose songs we are also hearing at weddings. Oh and Beyoncé of course! When it comes to the most important song of the night, the first dance song, Mr. Ed Sheeran seems to be the front runner. One of his newer tunes, “Thinking Out Loud” is the perfect love song that many couples feel they relate to. When it comes to selecting this particular track, choosing a song that speaks to you and your future spouse is what’s most important. We recommend listening to a variety of new and old romantic songs and picking the one that best helps depict your unique love story. And hey, if “Bodak Yellow” by Cardi B is the tune that gives you those warm, fuzzy feelings you can’t deny for a first dance song then we support that too! Hopefully this helped give a little bit more insight into what is popular right now when it comes to the music side of wedding planning.

Battle of the Bands: Preview Before You Book

When it comes to booking event entertainment for your upcoming event, it’s hard to wrong with a band. Bands have a great way of engaging an audience while playing a diverse and original selection of music. While there are many great bands available, there are also bands that leave much to be desired from their performances. In order to be sure that the band you are looking to hire will make your event an unforgettable one, it is important to preview their performance capabilities ahead of time. To help you understand the best ways of doing this, below are some practical tips to follow. Request a Video Recording Most bands are well equipped to play for events and have video recordings of their past performances. Given that serious clients are usually looking for some type of video preview, most bands would be happy to provide video evidence of them playing for a variety of events in several different venues. These videos are not only a great way to see what your prospective band has to offer, but you can also gauge how well the crowd reacts to their performance as well. Be very wary of bands that do not have videos of past recordings, as they are likely inexperienced in playing events or are worried that you will not be satisfied with their overall quality. Ask for a Performance Sample Event based bands are generally people pleasers. Due to this, most bands will have no problem giving you a performance sample in the comfort of their office or your home. While this performance will obviously not be the real thing, you will have the ability to gauge their musical talent firsthand well before you decide to book. Watch a Live Performance Since you are likely looking to book a potential band weeks or months before your event, there is a good chance that the band will be playing live at a concert or public event sometime in the near future. If you are truly interested in seeing how your band plays before a live audience, your best bet would be to take a night or afternoon off and go see them for yourself. While video and performance samples only give you a slight idea of a band’s event potential, a live event will allow you to understand exactly how the band will perform from the perspective of an audience member. This experience will allow you to understand how great, or how terrible, of a fit the band is for your upcoming event. Don’t Take Their Word for It While honesty should always be valued from your performers, do not assume a band is a great fit for your event simply because they say so! By viewing video performances, requesting a performance sample, or watching the band live, you will have the best chance of booking a band that truly matches the theme and energy of your event! Breezin’ Entertainment & Productions offers premier service that is sure to both relieve the stress of the event planning process and guarantee that the event entertainment that is provided exceeds all expectations.

21 Questions: DJ Edition

After hiring a DJ for your upcoming event, it is likely that you have many questions ranging from music selection, to guest interaction, and everything else in between. While some event planners are hesitant to ask DJs questions, this is a critically important step in ensuring that you are both on the same page leading up to the event. Failure to ask questions, even ones that seem small or insignificant, can be the difference between an unforgettable event and one which is less than satisfactory. In order you help you understand why you should ask questions and which types of questions to consider, below are critical points to follow while in the planning process. Great DJs Care About Their Clients While low quality or inexperienced DJs may seem to care less about a client or their event, there is a reason they are not making the big bucks. Great DJs have built a career on providing great music and constantly adhering to customer service. These DJs genuinely care about each client and put most of their attention into making sure the event goes on without the smallest hiccup. Great DJs will constantly encourage you to ask them any and all questions, so do not be hesitant when something crosses your mind. People Can Have Different Ideas Asking questions is especially important when planning event entertainment because two people can be given the same exact directions and produce completely different results. For example, if you were to tell your DJ that you want to hear “great country music,” they may construe this as any artists or song currently listed on the radio top 100. However, you may have meant that you want them to play all-time great country music instead of what is simply popular in the present day. This simple miscommunication could completely change the course of your event unless you follow up and ask questions during the planning process with your DJ. The Little Things Matter When considering what types of questions to ask your DJ, anything is essentially free game. Since your event is tailor made by you, the small details and questions still play a large role. While you will obviously find yourself asking your DJ about their intended playlist or guest interaction level, what if you simply wanted to know what they would be wearing to the event? This might seem menial, but it could play a large role in the overall presentation your DJ is able to provide for the audience. So long as they are appropriate, feel free to ask your DJ any questions which come to mind. Have Questions? Fire Away! You might refrain from asking too many questions in other areas of your life, but when planning with a DJ there is never a better time to let your curiosity run freely. Since great DJs take pride in making your event one to remember, your questions will better prepare them to completely amaze you in the end! Curiosity may have killed the cat, but it will also take your event to the next level! Breezin’ Entertainment & Productions offers premier service that is sure to both relieve the stress of the event planning process and guarantee that the entertainment that is provided exceeds all expectations.
