Highlands House Bed and Breakfast is a wedding venue located in Santa Rosa Beach, FL along the world-famous Highway 30-A stretch of the Emerald Coast. B-Boy Productions is the exclusively referred entertainment company for the property. As the B-Boy “resident DJ” for Highlands House, I am there often and their staff and I recognize one another by name and face. We have developed a teamwork dynamic that really helps create a smooth and efficient atmosphere for our clients and guests that really shines. This particular wedding was one of their largest guest-wise. They handled this entire affair with the utmost care and service, better than I’ve ever seen them administrate any event (and that’s saying a lot since they’ve done such a good job with every one that I’ve been a part of!).
For a mid-June wedding, Jenna and Evan Sanders really won the Florida lottery. No, not the one you may be thinking of, but the weather lottery. The chance for precipitation in this state can often times be unpredictable, but I could not imagine a better day to get married. Perfect sky, perfect warmth, and naturally, one the world’s perfect beaches!
This wedding had a few stand-out moments. The first was that the date was Friday, the 13th. If that wasn’t already unique, how about the fact that 5 other couples who were attending their reception as guests were also married on a Friday, the 13th? It was actually a family tradition! Jenna and Evan put together a tribute of which I got the privilege to read through during dinner as we called up each couple who went before them in marriage and honored them. So cool!
The other stand-out moment was the Father/Daughter dance. Jenna had mentioned during our planning session that she had a special edit that she was going to send me. Intrigued, I eagerly awaited to hear what it was going to be and I don’t think anything could have prepared me for what she sent. To an unsuspecting crowd, after an un-announced “wardrobe change” (Jenna changed into a more “active wear” dress), Jenna and her father began dancing to the wedding staple “My Girl” by The Temptations. Things quickly took a turn when that tale-tell melody of “Thriller” by Michael Jackson began playing, fittingly enough for Friday the 13th. In reality, Jenna and her Father had choreographed a dance number beforehand, and really wowed not only their friends and family, but me as well! The medley concluded, rather surprisingly, with “Bye Bye Bye” by N*Sync. What a great way to kick off a party!
After a lovely meal and some special toasts, we danced the rest of the night away on the dance floor. After such a special day filled with great memories, it certainly didn’t take a lot of effort to get people out on the floor! What a happy day! Here’s a quick highlight reel of the night. Enjoy!
