On June 1, 2007 I had the honor of performing for Kelly & Adam Burke in the ballroom at Suncity Lincoln. The night was incredible and it started with a powerful introduction idea I came up with just days before the wedding.

Just 5 minutes before the introductions, I guided Kelly & Adam (the Bride & Groom) to their positions. I lined up the wedding party and instructed them to walk onto the stage and create two lines on each side of the monogram screen for the introductions. Kelly & Adam were sports fanatics so I introduced the wedding party in true NBA style with their heights and the cities they were born in. Once I had introduced the last groomsman, the music changed to their favorite song, Everytime We Touch by Cascada.         Suddenly their monogram was enveloped in a bright, white light and two shadowed figures walked in behind the screen standing 12 feet tall. From their shadowed outline, the guests could tell that this could only be the bride and groom shadow dancing. Suddenly, the screen began to rise and Kelly & Adam walked out as their crowd of guests jumped to their feet and went ballistic cheering and applauding. This was a truly unique experience for the guests as well as a great way to start the best wedding reception ever! I was also featured on a national blog for the book The Best Wedding Reception…Ever!
