ABDC Crews at The Villa

Most wedding competes with who has bigger centerpieces, cuter favors, and the more eccentric ideas for their reception. But for the events here at The Villa, they compete with who can get the best ABDC Crew (America’s Best Dance Crew). MTV’s hit show, now on its fourth season, pumped out unforgettable crews like Jabbawockeez, Kabba Modern, SoReal Cru, Super Crew, Quest Crew, and Beatfreakz. The Villa has been blessed with the presence of the runner up from season one, Kabba Mordern (Irvine, California), and runner up from season three, Beatfreakz (Hollywood, California). One might ask, “Who would want to hire a dance crew for a wedding reception?”. Believe it or not the four performances that we had here made a very long lasting impression. Each a five minute performance, hyped up the crowd and really did get the party started. I have linked a video of the latest performance by “Beatfreakz”. Enjoy!

Jenny and Mike Wedding – 08.16.2009

Jenny and Mike were married at a small ceremony in Dana Point, California.  Their reception, taken place at The Villa, was a small and intimate setting for 150 of their closest family and friends.  I remember Jenny telling me how the morning weather was dark and gloomy, but once her ceremony began the clouds parted and the sun came out, making it a perfect day.  You can only expect everything to flow smoothly from there.

Jenny and Mike’s color scheme was mainly a chocolate brown with fuchsia accents.  A very dramatic and bold statement it made to the ballroom.  Jenny was very detailed in all her planning.  Her favors were small square ivory boxes filled with Hershey kisses and wrapped with an ivory satin ribbon.  She made fuchsia menu cards listing their eight course dinner that they provided for the guest.  She had chocolate satin table linen in the main ballroom with fuchsia satin table linen in her cocktail area.  She upgraded half her centerpiece to a beautiful hydrangea and dendrobium orchid floral arrangement in a tall cylinder vase.  With the alternate centerpiece, she stayed with the standard centerpiece that we provide and wrapped with fuchsia and chocolate satin ribbon with a rhinestone accent.  The most important thing of all, was her lighting.  Her lighting completed her room.  She had hot pink up lights throughout the whole entire ballroom, then she had their initials projected on the dance floor, with two large lily flowers projected onto the walls behind the sweetheart table.  All and all her wedding went off with a hit.  I would like to personally thank all her vendors for being so professional, entertainment – The Young Brothers Band, Photographer – NT Studios.  Here is a sneak preview of some photos from their wedding.  Congratulations Jenny and Mike!!!
