The Nugents Rock The Sheraton Eatontown

Once again, Steve Cie Entertainment was privileged to help celebrate a great wedding reception. This time it was for Jami & Erik Nugent.

The celebration was held at The Sheraton Inn of Eatontown, and attended by nearly 100 relatives and friends.

After a sun-filled cocktail hour in the glass atrium known as The Concord Cafe,Concord Cafe the guests filed into the gorgeous ballroom and cheered as the bride & groom made their grand entrance to a Special Mix of the popular Black Eyed Peas made especially by Steve Cie, the Emcee for the event. They then took their rightful place on the center of the dance floor as DJ Mike Wieder of Ultimate Sounds Entertainment played I Knew I loved You by Savage Garden
First Dance

After a poignant toast by Best Man Matt Brown, and Matron of Honor Annmarie Sperling McCarron, Father Dan Cahill of St Ann Church, Keansburg, offered a special blessing and grace.
Toast

Our good friend, brother of the bride, Glen Geraghty , gave the bride away and had the honor of a special dance with her.

Steve Cie Entertainment provided Emcee, DJ Entertainment, Plasma Video Screen, and “ZAP” Photo services for the event.
Bouquet Toss

A special, memorable moment occurred when DJ Mike Wieder, unwittingly caught the bride’s bouquet, which Jami mistakenly over-threw to the throng of single ladies, and those looking for a second chance.

As usual, the Sheraton staff served a sumptuous dinner with their normal excellent service.

The guests seemed to prefer a “high-energy” mix of music from the 80’s, 90’s, and today’s pop as they kept the dance floor filled for the entire night!

At the conclusion of the five hour long event, many of the guests moved into the Sheraton’s Lounge for two more hours of partying and Karaoke.

Best wishes to Jami & Erik, and again, thanks for letting us be a part of their very special day!

Allissa & Ryan’s “Monsoon Wedding”

March 13, 2010
Conover Rd Banquet Center
Colts Neck, New Jersey

While the storm of the decade raged outside, inside the cozy, warm décor of The Conover Road Banquet Center, the Getto and Kircher families were celebrating the “Monsoon Wedding” of Allissa & Ryan.

The gorgeous venue took on an added sense of elegance with Up Lighting, stage and dance floor lighting illuminating the spacious room with color.

A 1700 Watt Mackie Sound System reinforced the sounds of Allissa’s new father-in-law as he sang and played guitar for the bride & groom’s first dance.

Father Daughter DanceThere wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd as Allissa’s dad, Fred Getto, escorted his daughter to the dance floor for a dance to one of his favorite tunes, “That’s How Strong My Love Is” by Otis Redding.

A gourmet buffet , provided by award winning caterer, Tastefully Yours by Joyce, www.tastefullyyoursbyjoyce.com treated the guests to a sumptuous meal.

While most of the surrounding Monmouth County area was blacked out due to trees and poles knocked down by the ongoing raging storm outside, uninterrupted electricity was provided by The Colts Neck Volunteer Fire Company.

It was at this event , that the newly designed 6 Panel , 54” high FaCIEd was unveiled publicly for the first time. It was a “brilliant” success!

The guests packed the dance floor throughout the evening under the splendor of the atmosphere enhancing intelligent light show, as Steve Cie led the revelers in familiar dance steps such as The Cha Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle, Cotton-Eye Joe, Conga , and The Circle of Love. A well orchestrated Dollar Dance to the music of Kenny Vance & The Planotones, capped off the group set, as a set of Top Twenty Music ensued.

Dancing

One of Allissa’s favorite artists is Michael Jackson, and a specially mixed 15 minute long medley by Steve Cie, created specifically for this occasion, packed the dance floor!

All in all, “The Monsoon Wedding” will undoubtedly be remembered for a long time to come!

Kiss

Special thanks to Allissa & Ryan Kircher for the privilege of being a part of their very special day!

It’s YOUR Wedding! Have it YOUR way!

Congratulations to those couples who have recently undertaken the next step in solidifying their relationship by becoming engaged!

The holiday season sparks many marriage proposals and so couples now embark on planning their wedding and reception.

We specialize in getting guests to dance!

We specialize in getting guests to dance!

Be sure to select the entertainment for your Dream Reception carefully and wisely!

With the economy still reeling, now is an oportune time for couples to capitalize on the economy and get their best value for their special day!

You’ll note that I said “Best Value”, not best pricing.

Your wedding reception is a once-in-a-lifetime event that you will cherish forever. This is not an event to be excessively frugal with. But, you can appreciate excellent value in a depressed economic marketplace.

Some of the do’s and don’ts.

Entertainment. A crucial, yet often neglected component for a truly memorable event.

Do select an entertainment company that is reputable, insured, has great references, offers emergency back-up solutions and plans, has professional and dependable equipment, a music library that can fulfill your expectations,and  is a member of nationally and locally recognized trade associations. Such associations provide back-up support, on-going education, and reputation validation.

Do select someone who has an extensive background in the business and years and years of experience in conductingwedding receptions!

Do select an entertainment company that provides you with a written contract, stipulating all of the details that will ensure that YOUR day goes YOUR way!

DO NOT select a friend who is a part-time entertainer, or someone who conducts his entertainment business “on the side“  so to speak. Or someone who has just started in the business, and has little or no experience conducting a wedding reception. 

DO NOT select an entertainment company that casually books you over the phone without a bona-fide contract.

DO NOT opt to do your own music with a rented system or an I-POD. Sure, you will get to hear your favorite music, but……….your guests might have different tastes in music to motivate them to party and dance at your Dream Reception. There is nothing worse than having your guests long for the end of the event so that they can leave. Your event needs to be lively, energetic, and spontaneous to entertain and fulfill the desires of your guests.

We had a great experience with The Steve Cie Show for our wedding reception. Steve and his staff were very professional and worked with with our other vendors. Steve was great to work with and put us at great ease that the day would run smoothly. My husband and I found the price to be very reasonable, as well. What we also loved about The Steve Cie Show is that they took pictures all throughout the day of the wedding and were able to view these pictures the next day. Steve then uses these pictures with some video segments to make a wedding montage. It’s pretty cool. We would recommend The Steve Cie Show for an event without question!!

What can I say about Steve? When you worry about every detail of the most important day of your life, having Steve made my wedding the best party of my life. My guests could not stop taking about what a great DJ he was. But then when I told them about what a help he was with planning and running the night, people are amazed that there are people still out there in the world that give 110% service in everything they do.
Steve is like an a best friend that you must invite to make you party the best.
On a scale of one to ten Steve is a 12!

Gave us exactly what we wanted — and then some. Very professional, very flexible. Went out of the way to get us traditional Greek music. Event went wonderfully, and our guests were still able to carry on conversations at the tables without screaming over the level of the music. He even surprised us afterward with short CD of a video he took of our wedding. Light show was beautiful and just enough to make a big impression without seeming like a rock concert. Would recommend him to everyone, and would hire him again in a heartbeat.

Wendy & Daniel Wed!

McDonald Wedding 002

 

The Steve Cie Show crew had the privilege to entertain the guests at the Wendy (Carbone) & Daniel McDonald Wedding Reception.

 Desiring a “Winter” theme complete with gorgeoMcDonald Wedding 033us White Christmas trees, the setting was at The Grand Chalet in Wayne, NJ.

  The Grand Entrance was made even more spectacular with an Honor Guard of Axe wielding Firefighters from Daniel’s Fire Company.

The First Dance

The First Dance

 

The newlyweds’ first dance was a wonderfully executed waltz to the Moulin Rouge Soundtrack love theme, Come What May.

The dance floor was active continuously from the Bride & Groom’s First Dance throughout the entire evening. Although the cuisine was first rate and the dinners served timely, many guests opted to dance instead of eating, including the groom! The music played covered nearly every genre and decade in the past 60 years.

Conga Line of LoveThe Conga Line of Love and the subsequent Circle of Love had at least 60 participants, causing a great feeling of warmth, joy, and fun for the bride & groom!

 It was an elegant, well-planned reception. The staff of The Grand Chalet was top notch, with excellent service and a true desire to serve the guests beyond their expectations.

McDonald Wedding 022

 At the end of the evening, the very happy, and thoughtful newlyweds, commented on what a great time they had, and that their guests told them that this had been the best party they had been to. Congratulations Wendy & Daniel, and thank you for letting us be an integral part of this once-in-a-lifetime celebration!
