Wedding Reception | 22 February 2008 | Melanie and Rod | Wharf Restaurant, Walsh Bay, Sydney

Reception for 115 guests held at the The Wharf Restaurant, Walsh Bay. The restaurant is housed at the end of a renovated timber finger wharf which is also home to the Sydney Theatre Company and Sydney Dance Company. During the day the restaurant is flooded with natural light and the views are spectacular. In the evening, the view is equally as impressive with the beautiful night lights of the Harbour Bridge, Luna Park and the North Sydney skyline.

Melanie and Rod were blessed with a absolutely beautiful Sydney day. Both were exceptionally happy and looked sensational. It was an elegant, classy and stylish reception yet with a relaxed feel, a perfect fit with the ambiance of the venue. During the evening both Rod and Melanie took to the microphone to say a few words and thank some very special people.

Melanie's parents had traveled from the UK to be at the wedding and Rod's son had traveled from the US, arriving on the morning of the wedding and leaving to return 48 hours later - being in an airplane almost for as long he was in Australia. The attendance by these and some other traveled guests made the day that much more special for Melanie and Rod.

When Rod first contacted me he made mention that he had a special surprise for Melanie (and the guests of course) in that he had secured the services of The Three Waiters. I have had the opportunity to work with this show before on numerous occasions so knew how it all worked. For those that are not aware, The Three Waiters show involves three singing waiters hiding in plain sight at the event before unleashing a dynamic and sophisticated live performance a la The Three Tenors! Dressed and behaving exactly like the other staff, they greet guests on arrival - perhaps offering them a pre-dinner drink, finger food, a bread roll or directions to the cloak room. At no time do guests realise they are Singing Waiters - until the finale! Everyone was very surprised and the act included Rod singing "Can't Help Falling In Love" to Melanie on bended knee - very romantic indeed (except for the glomesh sparkling Elvis type jacket that Rod wore as part of the show).

All in all a wonderful evening had by everyone. A very happy couple. great food, great atmosphere, great company, fantastic surprise, lots of dancing and a fun time had by all.

Corporate Event | 8 February 2008 | Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney

Farewell/Retirement Event for corporate executive after 37 years of service with the organisation. Held at the Shangri-La Hotel, Sydney in the Cambridge Rooms, the retirement dinner was attended by 45 guests which consisted of colleagues and their partners. In addition to DJ:Plus! Mobile Disco Entertainment, the retiree was the subject of a comedy hoax by comedian Rodney Marks which was enjoyed immensely by all present. Rodney's act is unique in that he arrives at an event in character, and mingles with attendees. He attends pre-dinner drinks and dinner and works the room. This mixing establishes the credibility of Rodney’s comic character. At some agreed point, he will be called to a lectern to deliver a “keynote address”. During the delivery of this presentation, audience members slowly realise that they have been had - as the retiree found out.
