From the impeccable Four Seasons Hotel Philadelphia service to the high energy, yet elegant sounds of our Philadelphia dance band, Jellyroll, it was truly an event that set the highest standard for exclusive Philadelphia weddings.
Getting to know Lauren and Pete was a true pleasure. Lauren’s parents, Dr. Frank and Lorraine Briglia, wanted the best for Lauren and Pete’s wedding, and therefore recruited the best of the Philadelphia wedding and event professionals. BVT’s own Stringsations supplied the ceremony music at the The Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter & Paul, Tim Sudall of Video One was the videographer, Cliff Mautner was the photographer. Evantine transformed the already beautiful Four Seasons Ballroom into a fairytale setting with the lighting provided by Eventions Productions, while Philadelphia wedding planner, Lynda Barness of I Do Wedding Consulting and the Four Seasons staff, led by Eric Allen, tended to every detail.
Jellyroll was honored to perform continuously on this evening and was even joined on stage by popular New York Saxophonist, Lanny Ward. The energy level was high from beginning to end, with the exception of the meal service. Lauren and Pete entered to Beyonce’s “Crazy In Love” and then danced to Jellyroll’s rendition of “Endless Love”. Jellyroll performed material from Sinatra to Lauren and Pete’s request of “Viva La Vida” by Cold Play. Simply put, I was once again extremely proud of Jellyroll for providing the soundtrack at one of the most elegant, beautiful, high energy weddings that I have ever attended.
Here is an email that Dr. Briglia so thoughfully sent to me after his daughter’s wedding followed by one of Cliff Mautner’s amazing images:
Kurt-
I am sure you hear this often but for Lorraine and I, Jellyroll made our daughter’s wedding a spectatcular event. I truly appreciate your listening to what we wanted for that night, and the high energy created by the muisic was sustained far beyond our expectations. Our guests are still talking to us about the greatness of the band!
Special thanks for making my father-daughter dance most memorable and allowing Lanny Ward, our out-of-town sax, to be with you during some of the sets. We thouroughly enjoyed the entire night dancing, listening and watching everyone having a great time.
Jellyroll is beyond terrific!
FABFrank A. Briglia, M.D.
