Best Entertainment

It’s always a pleasure to be noticed for excellence!  Randy Ro Entertainment is nominated for “Best Entertainment” by the Dallas chapter of National Association of Catering and Events (NACE).  NACE is a premier organization comprised of top event professionals, including the catering sales directors from hotels, photographers, event & wedding planners, cakes, transportation services, officiants, rental companies, etc.

NACE’s mission is “To advance the catering and events industry and its professionals”. Their point of view is “In a world where margins are slimmer and expectations are greater than ever before, catering and event professionals must keep current on trends, produce creative ideas and continually build upon their network of innovate professionals to be successful and competitive. The National Association for Catering and Events (NACE) paves a clear career path for catering and event professionals that directly affects the way they do business and sets them apart as a professional in the hospitality industry.”

While we frequently get awards, especially client based awards, this means so much because it’s recognition from others in our own market.  Dallas has a thriving events industry that is one of the largest in the country.  It’s arguably one of the closest knit event families in it’s attitude and caring for each other’s success, as well. We fully believe that our success is because of our dedication to our clients, our industry, and our people.

Here’s to the success of your event!

Elegant Draping and Lighting for Dallas Weddings

Apr

2014
by Randy Roberson | Comments Off

It’s no secret that one of our favorite venues in DFW is the Ruthe Jackson Center in Grand Prairie!  Just about any week of the year, we are draping, lighting, DJing, videoing, providing photo booths, doing a slow motion video booth, providing “Dancing on a Cloud” for a couples first dance, pin spotting the cake, okay, enough already, the list is long!  It’s a perfect fit for us because RJC is one of the more progressive venues around.  Take a look at their Pinterest page and you can see the caliber of events they do.  We owe so much to Cheryl Allgood & Chip Nami!  Without Cheryl’s constant question, “Can you do this?”, we wouldn’t be the top company for elegant draping and lighting for Dallas Weddings!  The answer is always, “Yes, Cheryl, we can do that.”  Then we go figure out how!

Check out this photo by rock star photographer, Jim Rode!  Floral design by another rock star, Kate Foley!   Have you ever seen a floral arrangement that long?  (a trick to pin spot!)  Of course, the lovely draping is from Randy Ro!  Hand picked, custom fabrics, always!  Fire retardant, always. (don’t let the fire marshall make you take the drape down).  Crystal beading, not always, it’s personalized to you.  Chandeliers, by request!  Multiple chandeliers, sure, can do!  Why not, it’s your wedding!

Bouquet Toss Songs Top 50

Excitement during bouquet toss

Bouquet Toss Song selection is important at an amazing wedding reception! An experienced MC/DJ will make sure everyone is ready (including your photographer) and that you actually have the bouquet before announcing it.  An inexperienced DJ, well, not so much!  On the subject of vendors, we highly recommend that you have a Wedding Planner.  They will save you money, help get you the best vendors, and help take the stress out of your day.  Your venue may have a coordinator but that is different than having a planner.

The bouquet toss is still popular at most weddings.  If there are only a few single ladies in attendance, sometimes the bride will honor someone by presenting it to them.   Here are the Bouquet Toss Top 50 songs as compiled nationwide by DJ Intelligence.  I believe we’ve played every song here for the bouquet toss except #49 (doesn’t have enough energy).  In the case of #3, we have a great edited version!

  1. Single Ladies, Beyonce
  2. Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Cyndi Lauper
  3. Move B***h, Ludacris Feat. Mystikal
  4. Hit Me With Your Best Shot, Pat Benatar
  5. Man! I Feel Like A Woman!, Shania Twain
  6. Only Girl (In the World), Rihanna
  7. Where Them Girls At, David Guetta
  8. It’s Raining Men, Weather Girls
  9. Wannabe, Spice Girls
  10. Another One Bites The Dust, Queen
  11. Little White Church, Little Big Town
  12. This One’s For The Girls, Martina McBride
  13. Milkshake, Kelis
  14. One Way of Another, Blondie
  15. Maneater, Nelly Furtado
  16. Girls, Beastie Boys
  17. Run The World (Girls), Beyonce
  18. Ladies Night, Kool & The Gang
  19. Lady Marmalade, Christina Aguilera, Lil’ Kim, Mya, Pink
  20. Haven’t Met You Yet, Michael Buble
  21. Call Me Maybe, Carly Rae Jepsen
  22. Oh, Pretty Woman, Roy Orbison
  23. Wishin’ and Hopin’, Dusty Springfield
  24. Girls, Girls, Girls, Motley Crue
  25. P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing), Michael Jackson
  26. Just A Girl, No Doubt
  27. Gold Digger, Kanye West, Feat. Jamie Foxx
  28. Hey Ladies, Beastie Boys
  29. Love Is A Battlefield, Pat Benatar
  30. Pretty Girl Rock, Keri Hilson
  31. California Gurls, Katy Petty
  32. Chapel of Love, Dixie Cups

Aves Photography = Awesome

Aug

2013
by Randy Roberson | Comments Off

We love working with Photographers, Lauren & Will Aves, not only cause they are fun to be with, because we know we are going to get amazing photos from the wedding!  We’re lucky enough to work several weddings a year with them.   We highly recommend Aves to any brides looking for their photographer.  I’ve also said this many times,  Lauren Aves is the best wedding writer I know!  Always new and always interesting.  Not really sure how she does it.  We recently booked a bride that had been reading Lauren’s blog for about 4 years.  When she got engaged, Aves was the first thing she booked.  (Okay, maybe the Piazza, Aves, then us)  Here is a link to Aves Photography Blog.

In March we provided Master of Ceremony and DJ for Meredith and Chad’s wedding at the Piazza in the Village in Colleyville, Texas.   Top vendor list included, Aves Photography, Kristen Knight from Shenanigans, Lisa Stiles, Opulent Cakes, and Sonny Gann, from LoveNotes!  The Piazza is a wonderful venue to work and you know everything is going to be great every time.  It is very popular so go see it in person and book early if you’d like to get married there. 

Speaking of Aves, here is a review of Randy Ro Entertainment from them:

“Reception Music/DJ – Randy Ro Entertainment

(Randy is the BEST!!!! Enough said. He keeps everyone dancing all night, and is 100% fabulously awesome! He’s one of the reasons you should consider a DJ instead of a band, for real {Not that we don’t love bands, because we do. But if it’s up in the air or you can’t decide, you should def check out Randy first to see what kind of entertainment would fit your party the best. The dancing is what makes the party fun.} We love you Randy!!)”

We love Aves!

Fort Worth Wedding DJ

Feb

2013
by Randy Roberson | Comments Off
Your guests are standing, cheering as you enter your reception!  You’ve just married your best friend and now it’s time for the party.  You’ve planned the most amazing wedding reception with your Fort Worth Wedding DJ!  Your DFW Wedding Venue  looks amazing with an amazing design of florals, Dallas lighting &  drape, linens, and the energy of your family and friends!   First, you’ll want to have your first dance as the new Mr. & Mrs!  A very nice flow for the evening is to do the Grand Entrance and go straight to your First
Dance.  (Traditionally it opens the dance floor for anyone that might want to dance before the  open dancing starts and it gets it out of the way in case you are nervous about it.  You’ll be able to enjoy the rest of your reception with out the pressure of an upcoming  performance.
What kind of song would you like to dance to for your First Dance?  Your Fort Worth Wedding DJ can help you select the right song, but remember, this is your wedding, dance to the song that means the most to you.  Usually there is a song that  you may have danced to on your first date or that you both like when it comes on the radio.  The other possibility is to go for the entertainment value and break out into something crazy!  You can start with a slow song, scratch it out, and go into a fun choreographed segment.  This can be just the two of you or you can bring in the wedding party in flash mob fashion. Either way, your guests will love it, feel totally entertained, and wonder what is coming next!
For couples that may be too shy for anything crazy and want a great picture, we suggest the Dancing on a Cloud First Dance.  You still pick your favorite song.  A few moments after you begin the dance floor will fill with a white cloud that you’ll be dancing in the middle of.  It’s an amazing picture and “Wow Factor” for your guests.  You didn’t have to choreograph anything and it makes the first dance way more interesting
The photo below was take at the Renaissance Worthington Hotel in Fort Worth during the couples First Dance.

When your Grand Entrance & First Dance are over you’ve just set the tone for an extraordinary wedding reception.  Now it’s off to dinner and an awesome party!

So excited to announce that Randy Ro Entertainment has been awarded both Best of Weddings by the Knot and The Bride’s Choice Award  for 2013!  That means we are rated in the top 4 or 5% wedding companies in the country.  Truly something for our team to be proud of!  We work really hard (just ask some of the guys on our crew when we are doing draping and lighting for a Dallas wedding!)  We totally love what we do!  While it’s nice to be recognized for this, the ultimate recognition comes from the thank you’s we get from our couples.

We were honored to provide MC/DJ, Videographer, Lighting Design, and Photo Booth for bride, Ashley Miller.  When her and Eugene arrived at their Marriott Renaissance Richardson Dallas Hotel reception they wanted to see the ballroom before the guests came in.  The ballroom was glowing in pink up lighting and there was a huge “M” initial on the wall behind their Cup Cake Desert bar.  Ashley’s main focus was to get into our Dallas Photo Booth right away.  Here is the picture and note she sent us on Facebook.

“People are still talking about how much fun the had in the photo booth!  We thought we would add our favorite photo booth pic to your page!  Thanks again!  Can’t wait to see the wedding video!  DJ Michael was fantastic and the uplighting looked incredible.”

Omni Mandalay Wedding in Las Colinas
Janet called me from Kentucky where she works as a TV news reporter.  She would only be in Dallas a few times before the wedding and we would need to do most of the planning via email, telephone, and our online planning.  As you can tell by her very thoughtful thank you note, everything went beyond her expectations.  The thing I’m proudest of is that I wasn’t the MC/DJ for her reception (I was already booked).  One of our great DJ’s, Mike Sanderson, was keeping the flow and playing the music,  Great job, Mike!  Thank you, Janet and Steven, for letting us be a part of your special day!  By the way, the picture is actually the cover to their thank you note.  That’s fabulous!

A recent article in the Dallas Examiner suggested Destination Weddings without leaving home.  Villa Antonio in Lake Travis, Texas, was pictured in the article.  (If you need a DJ in Austin, call R.J. Johnson or… of course, we travel!). For those of you in the Dallas /Fort Worth area, The Old Red Museum in downtown Dallas also offers a castle look and feel.  It sits right on Dealey Plaza with views of the Book Depository building, Reunion Tower, and your guests can even tour the museum while you are taking your final wedding pictures!  Nikki and Matt are getting married there in April and I’m really excited to be their MC/DJ!

Besides the Grand Entrance, the time before the Wedding Party arrives really sets the tone for the rest of the evening.  We use it to get your guests warmed up, involved, and ready for the celebration!  At Kevin and Johanna’s afternoon reception, the longest married couple is showing the rest of the guests how it’s done!  : )   We were actually in the Pacific Northwest for this wedding.
