The Secret Treasure

The Secret Treasure

Being a hopeful romantic, Michael had a very well thought out treasure hunt to surprise his love Alison. The weekend before Christmas, Michael arranged to meet Alison in town to give her a Christmas present. When they met he handed Alison a package of Oreos and said that it was the first clue in a treasure hunt and that her Christmas present was buried at the end of it. The first clue was printed on the inside of the Oreo, which initiated a succession of clues around the Brooklyn area. Some of which involved pulling an orange rubber ducky from a lake in Prospect Park to ascertain a clue inside. Eventually the treasure hunt ended at Domino Park at a tree where they had carved their names into when they first started dating. 

When they arrived at the tree Alison saw that it was covered with fairy lights, there were white roses and candles all over the ground and music coming from somewhere and he got down on one knee. It was incredibly beautiful and emotional, and also well-timed as the sun was just setting over the trees. Now that is a well-planned hunt! Something the pair will never forget!

Michael and Alison’s wedding was an absolute dream! Everything about it was gorgeous. They had the event at the beautiful Shelburne Farms Inn in Shelburne, Vermont. The ceremony was held in the Coach Barn, a unique and timeless setting on the shores of Lake Champlain with a spectacular view of the Adirondack Mountains. 

With a clear sky overhead and string lights, a pianist from Around Town Entertainment started off the day with a special performance as guests walked into the large outdoor courtyard. As guests took their seats, the pianist played John Legend “All of Me.” The bride entered through the Coach Barn’s beautiful brick arched entryway and down the aisle as a piano cover of “Here Comes the Bride” was played much to the enjoyment of family and friends. After the bride and groom exchanged their vows, the pianist performed an emotional ballad of Leon Bridges’s “Beyond.”

Next up was the Cocktail hour where everyone enjoyed drinks on the lawn while catching up with friend’s and family.  Guests also gathered around the lake at sunset to watch a guitarist from Around Town Entertainment perform. The reactions from the crowd were priceless. We loved seeing how happy they were!

The party then transitioned to the West Hall for more music and dancing.  Michael and Alison picked the Around Town Entertainment’s Around Town Band to perform at the reception and they didn’t disappoint! The wedding band got everyone on the dance floor quickly as the bride and groom entered the building to Beyoncé & Jay Z’s “Crazy in Love.” 

The couple then had their first dance to David Gray’s “Sail Away” while guests joined in on the dancing afterward. Then the father and daughter held their own dance to Frank Sinatra’s “The Way You Look Tonight.” The mother/son also had an intimate moment while the wedding band played Lynard Skynard’s “Simple Man.” Truly touching moments! After toasts, the Around Town Band played high energy classic hits including covers from Queen to Nelly to keep guests dancing all night. What a way to end the night!

In April 2014, Jacqueline and Samuel took a trip to New York City from Connecticut, where they are originally from. They were spending a few days with a close friend who lived in Brooklyn. 

On one particular day, Jacqueline and Samuel woke up early afternoon and headed into Williamsburg to go for lunch at one of their all-time favorite places. After lunch, they stepped out of the restaurant to go for a walk. Immediately to their right was a classic New York brownstone and a young man sitting on the steps with a guitar on his lap. Samuel slowed his steps and paused outside the building holding Jacqueline’s hand and flashing her a smile. The guitarist was playing their song “How We Know” by Sleeping Lion. It was a song they had learned together in a class and since then they’ve always considered it theirs. 

When Jacqueline realized what song the guitarist was playing, her face lit up. She stood and listened but never did her mind jump to the conclusion of what might happen next. Samuel lowered himself down onto one knee with tears in his eyes. Jacqueline was in disbelief and started to cry.

A few minutes later the song ended and the guitarist stood up while Samuel introduced him as his friend. It was then it dawned on Jacqueline that he had arranged this beautiful surprise and it had all been a big secret all along. Very well played!

The rest of their time in NYC was spent planning their big day. They mutually agreed to return to Connecticut for their wedding at the New Haven Lawn Club. They chose Around Town Entertainment‘s Around Town Band as the musical act for the night making it even more special. 

The day of the wedding started off properly with cocktails in the Lawn Club’s cocktail room. The room was huge and cozy while a jazz trio from Around Town Entertainment provided classic background music to start the night. The guests could not stop talking about the jazz trio, saying how great their music selection and performance was!

After that, the party moved to the Main Ballroom for dinner and dancing. The Ballroom had a timeless style and the venue was perfect for the Around Town Band to take the stage. The wedding band started off their set with a cover of “Crazy in Love” Beyonce as the bride and groom made their grand entrance. The couple then had their first dance to “Can’t Help Falling in Love” Frank Sinatra.  Adding to the atmosphere was the touch of contemporary flair to the ballroom’s exquisite architectural details and glamorous starburst chandeliers. 

After indulging in wedding cake, the newlyweds and their guests hit the dance floor. A number of guests started with their own traditional dance and then broke into a choreographed routine to songs from Britney Spears, LFO, Shakira and many more to end a fantastic evening! 

Around Town Entertainment hopes to return to New Haven Lawn Club. Remembering how it felt to laugh, and cry and embrace makes this one of the most beautiful memories that Around Town Entertainment will ever be a part of!

Best wishes Jacqueline and Samuel!

Pauline knew there was no going back after her first kiss with Thomas. The pair met through mutual family friends in college. They quickly realized while studying the same course that they were meant to be more than just friends. Within a year, their relationship blossomed and she knew he was the one.

When planning the proposal Thomas wanted it to be something special especially after a tough year for Pauline. So Thomas bought flights for Pauline for a weekend away in San Francisco as a Thanksgiving present… or so she thought!

At the airport, Thomas ripped up the plane tickets. She just looked at him with shock and said ‘Why did you do that?’ He said “We’re not going to San Francisco, we’re going to New York instead!”

It was there he planned to go to the Radio City Music Hall to propose to Pauline. Once there, Thomas took advantage of the moment, getting down on one knee, much to Pauline’s shock! They became engaged and the rest was history.

They held their wedding at the iconic Peconic Bay Yacht Club in Southold, NY. Around Town Entertainment was chosen for the live entertainment for the evening. The night started with cocktails in the upstairs room with a huge bar where guests enjoyed spectacular views and classic music from Around Town Entertainment‘s jazz trio. The cover songs the trio played was perfect background music as guests mingled and enjoyed appetizers before the main reception.

The main reception was held at the Main Floor Reception Hall. The reception room had a very unique “European” style architecture making it a perfect setting for Pauline and Thomas’s very special day! And it could have not been more perfect! 

Around Town Entertainment‘s A-List Band started the music off by playing a cover of Ray LaMontagne’s You Are the Best Thing before introducing the bride and groom as an official married couple. Then the two made their first dance to the same song with help from some of their friends and family who sang along to every word. After that, the father and daughter had a dance to Lee Ann Womack’s I Hope You Dance. Immediately after was the mother and son dance to “There You’ll Be” by Faith Hill. The night continued with more fun as the A-List Band kept the crowd dancing the whole night to some of their favorite requested songs by Diana Ross, Van Morrison, Tom Petty, and so many more!

The Key to Gramercy Park

The Key to Gramercy Park

Lauren had a pretty good feeling she would get engaged to Asher, but she never expected it would happen the first weekend after getting back on their trip to Italy. She is the planner in the relationship and both of them have always joked about how something as simple as choosing a restaurant or making a dinner reservation leaves Asher stressed. But that was just a cover-up so he could pull off a well designed planned surprise proposal for Lauren!

So here’s how it there very important moment went down- around 4PM on a Saturday Lauren was in the middle of a Spotify playlist binge when Asher said he was going to drop off his dry cleaning. She was completely in tune with her music until Asher sent her a text that filled her stomach with butterflies.

Once she read the text she was 99.9% sure that this was the moment. She felt a mix of so many emotions and even more panic when she realized she was still in sweatpants, hair tied, and no make-up on! Somehow she made it to the Gramercy Park Hotel on time! She didn’t see Asher, so she just headed to the front desk and let them know her name. Right away the bellman took out an iron key and told her to follow him. They proceeded out towards the park where she saw Asher. 

Once the hotel bellman opened the gate into the park, Asher took Lauren by the hand and led her down winding walking paths before stopping at a large bed of gorgeous blooming purple flowers. It was there that Asher got down on one knee and asked Lauren to marry him! It was a really special moment

They had their wedding at the legendary Westbury Manor in Long Island. Around Town Entertainment’s Around Town Band was picked to perform for the evening. The wedding started with an outside ceremony surrounded by 5 acres of landscaped gardens and grounds. As guests took their seats, a pianist from Around Town Entertainment dazzled the ground with classic music. When the bride walked down the aisle, the pianist played a unique rendition of Pachabelle’s Canon. After the two exchanged vows and had their first kiss as a married couple, they walked out with a cover of “Stand By Me” Ben E King playing in the background.  

Next up was cocktails in the prestigious Library Room where guests were treated as royalty as they were welcomed with elegant area rugs and plush couches. A jazz trio from Around Town Entertainment played jazz music to warm up the room while guests enjoyed a cocktail near the crackling fireplace. 

Then it was time for the main reception in the Garden Ballroom. The Garden Ballroom is surrounded by Mahogany walls, plaster reliefs, and classic upholstery recall a bygone era of grace and elegance. The night started as the bridal party made their entrance through the Victorian style sconces and paned while the Around Town Band played Let’s Dance by David Bowie while guests sang along. The bride and groom came out to You’re My Best Friend by Queen with a standing ovation. Lauren and Asher held their first dance to The Night is Young and You’re So Beautiful by Arthur Rubin.  The mother then had a dance with her son as the wedding band played A Song For Mama by Boyz II Men. The rest of the night was filled with more upbeat music played by Around Town Band from 2Chains to Third Eye Blind which kept the dance floor packed all night!

Congratulations to Lauren and Asher for a wonderful night to remember!

Daniella and Anthony lived together in the Lower East Side when they got engaged. Anthony was working in music at the time and every evening, Daniella would wait for him outside of the Delancey street subway stop and they would walk home together.  On one particular evening, they were supposed to go to see a local act in a piano bar downtown. But when Daniella got there, Anthony wasn’t there. 

Feeling a bit annoyed, Daniella walked back to their building alone. As she walked up to the door, she noticed the door was slightly left open. She walked through the door, ready to give Anthony a fit, and there he was, handsome as ever in a suit, with the lights dim and a smile on his face. Daniella was stunned! Anthony had created a beautiful set up at home filled with flowers, candles, and mementos from their favorite trips. With their favorite Taking Back Sunday song playing softly in the background, this was one of the best days in Daniella’s life. 

When Anthony asked her to marry him, she cried like a baby! She couldn’t properly say “Yes!” because the moment was filled with so much love and joy. 

Once the wedding planning began, they both agreed to have Around Town Entertainment perform at their wedding, the rest was history. Daniella and Anthony chose the Altitude Band from Around Town Entertainment because of their unique, high energetic performances of cover songs.  

Fast forward to their wedding in The Liberty Warehouse in Brooklyn, NY.  Located in the historic shipping yards of Pier 41, the Altitude Band had the opportunity to play in a charming pre-Civil War 1850 setting overlooking the views of New York Harbor in front of 300 plus guests. The Statue of Liberty was the backdrop making it perfect for a beautiful sunny day to have the ceremony outside. 

As guests entered the outside courtyard, a pianist from the Altitude Band performed Serenade by Haydn. The bride walked down the aisle to Ave Maria by Schubert. After that bride and groom exchanged vows, they made their grand exit to Bonfire Heart by James Blunt.

Next, guests made their way to the Harbor Room for cocktails to start the evening. Surrounded by a 7,000 sq. ft. room with an attached built-in bar area, the space was perfect for mingling as guests enjoyed listening to Around Town Entertainment’s jazz trio while relaxing near wood-burning fireplaces. Classy!

After that, everyone headed to the Governors Room for the main reception. As the bride and groom made their entrance, the Altitude Band played “Let’s Get Loud” Jennifer Lopez to energize the room. Then, the newlywed couple took their first dance to “The Wonder of You” Elvis Presley. The father and daughter held a touching moment while the wedding band performed “I’ll Stand by You” The Pretenders. The mother and son also held a special dance to “The Way You Look Tonight” by Frank Sinatra. After dinner and cake, the night continued on the dance floor where guests sang along to every song the wedding band performed. From Louis Armstrong to AC/DC the wedding band kept the good vibes going all night making it an evening to never forget!

Best wishes to Daniella and Anthony!

Love Songs from the Heart 150 150 adam Michaels

Love Songs from the Heart

Love Songs from the Heart

Jennie fell in love with Jason’s kids first. Jason was raising his three children on his own, and he hired Jennie to teach music to the kids on the weekends and weeknights when he had them. After about five months, Jennie had fallen head over heels with the kids, and the feeling seemed to be mutual. It was around then that Jennie had started to let her guard down and got to know Jason beyond their professional relationship.

Jennie was ready to quit because she had grown way too close to all of them to maintain professional boundaries. Jason felt relieved because he thought he was going to have to fire her! So it turned out the kids loved her so much they had been wondering for months why they weren’t dating.

With their blessing, Jennie and Jason went on their first date. A few months later, Jason surprised Jennie with a bouquet from their garden, and a serenade proposal with songs he’d written about her. After she said “yes,” he gave Jennie three more letters, each written by his three kids. How could anyone say no to that?!

After the successful engagement, they immediately called up Around Town Entertainment to perform at their wedding at the Indian Trail Club in Franklin Lakes, New Jersey. The Indian Trail Club is a wonderful venue and is one of the band’s favorite venues to play at. It boasts lakefront views with stunning trees and colorful flowers perfect for a daytime wedding. 

The evening started with cocktails right on the beautiful lake in the outside patio with multiple bars surrounded by breathtaking nature and views. Around Town Entertainment’s jazz trio played “Gypsy Jazz,” a style of The Bailsmen, to warm up the crowd as they mingled, danced, and sipped on drinks. The vibe was energetic and the jazz trio received many compliments on how delightful their playlist selections were.

After cocktails, everyone moved to Indian Trail Club’s Ballroom for the main reception. Scheduled to perform was the Around Town Band provided by Around Town Entertainment. Jennie and Jason chose the wedding band Around Town Band because of its high energy performance. The bands have compiled elite, talented and studied musicians who have toured with some of today’s top artists throughout the world’s biggest stages. 

The bride and groom strolled into the Ballroom while Around Town Band played “Everything” by Michael Buble.  The newlyweds first dance was to “Irreplaceable” by Beyonce.  The father danced with his daughter to “Daddy Dance with Me” by Krystal Keith. The mother danced with her son to “Days like This” by Van Morrison. The dance floor remained packed the rest of the night as the wedding band played uplifting hits like Earth, Wind, and Fire, The Weeknd, Bruno Mars, and much more!

What a night filled with good people, good vibes, and breathtaking views! It was quite an amazing start to Jennie and Jason’s new life chapter!

Snow Wedding at Fort Hamilton

Peter plays hockey at Brooklyn’s Lefrak Center, so he told her that he wanted to go to “practice” for an upcoming season game, but Sophia had no idea what was coming. They both invited some friends as a double date and so they could get some good pictures.

Peter had a Snapchat filter made that said “Will you marry me?.” Haha! The filter was set up to go online at 6pm, so as soon as it turned 6pm he took Sophia to the middle of the ice rink. He asked her to take a selfie. Knowing her she would want to check the picture and roll through the filters.

Peter told her to read the filter and while she was still in shock, it definitely surprised her to look up above the rink.  All their family and friends were waiting with big signs that said, “Will you marry Sophia?” After that, Peter dropped to one knee, got the ring out, and confessed his love for her with all his heart and asked if she would spend the rest of her life with him.

The day started out picture perfect. Sophia and Peter had an outdoor winter ceremony that was breathtaking with the Verrazzano-Narrows bridge in the background. The weather cooperated fully, so that was also helpful. Guests were excited to be there and were impressed with the views.

As family and friends gathered there seats, a DJ provided by Around Town Entertainment pumped up the guests. The DJ played a set of various emotional ballads including Coldplay “Yellow” as the bride walked down the aisle.

Shawn proposed in the sweetest way, and he really surprised Sara! They had recently moved from California to New York and he had just returned from an Army deployment. Once he had the ring, he thought of a lot of places he could ask but decided that their new home would be the most special. He was right!

As Sophia walked down the stairs one night he told her how much he loved her and how he appreciated the support in moving across the country and taking care of things while he was at sea. He got on one knee and asked if she would spend the rest of her life with him. Sophia immediately said “YES!”

Best Day Ever

Best Day Ever

Trevor went to Florida to meet his girlfriend’s family (they’re from New York). They had been together for a year and a half and he wanted to propose when they took a day trip to Disneyland. Trevor has dabbled in some photography in college, so he decided to bring his Nikon DSLR camera along for the ride.

Trevor took “pictures” all day of her. Over the course of the day, at moments she held the camera for him.  As the sunset over Magic Kingdom Park in Walt Disney World Resort, they did a photo op with the Nikon DSLR and he said, “Hey honey, take a picture of me with my film camera!” “Okay.”, she says as she went to take a picture.

Trevor told her to slide the exposure counter on the back. Once she did, it revealed the ring below the magenta-colored cellophane that covers the back. She was so confused until Trevor went over and took the back off and got down on one knee. Haha! 

After she said “Yes!” they spent the rest of the night ride hopping until the park closed. One of the most unique proposals we have encountered so far. Brilliant!

The two asked Around Town Entertainment to perform at their wedding at Rolling Hills Country Club in Wilton, Connecticut and we couldn’t decline their invitationand we couldn’t decline their invitation.  We wanted to play at this venue again so this was a dream come true!

Rolling Hills Country Club is a wedding venue situated on 300 wooded acres in the very picturesque landscape of Fairfield County. The landscape is spectacular and provided an unforgettable backdrop for the wedding live music performance. 

The day started as guests filled the outside patio of the Ambler Ballroom for cocktails before the main reception. A jazz trio from Around Town Entertainment filled the room with classic throwbacks for about an hour as guests mingled and sang along to their favorite tunes. 

Next, The A-List Band from Around Town Entertainment led the celebrations inside the Ambler Room. With the packed house of about 300+ guests, the bride and groom’s parents entered the room with class and style as the wedding band played “Beautiful Day” U2. Then, the bridesmaids and ushers entered to the song, “You’re my Best Friend” by Queen. Finally, the bride and groom made their presence felt by dancing and singing to “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen. Guests also made their way to the dance floor after introductions to dance with them! 

After that, the bride and groom had their first dance to Love is a Tuesday by Jake Scott. The father and daughter had their dance to “Daughters” John Mayer.

Unique Industrial Loft Wedding 150 150 adam Michaels

Unique Industrial Loft Wedding

Unique Industrial Loft Wedding

Rosanne and Michael’s proposal story is nothing glamorous or over the top, but it’s filled with love. Rosanne got off of work one Friday afternoon and Michael and their friends met up for happy hour drinks at their favorite dive bar. They had a pizza party to attend later that night so she insisted they stay out drinking beers & cocktails until they had to go. Michael had his hands in his pocket, not sipping his drink.

They were ready to drive over to the friends’ house when Michael suggested stopping at home to pick up food & drinks. When they arrived it was pouring rain. When Michael realized that Rosanne had no interest in leaving the car to walk in the rain, he said, “Well I guess I’ll have to do this in here,” and pulled out the ring from his jacket pocket.

No getting down on one knee, no red roses, just a long speech in a Volvo station wagon about why he loved Rosanne so much, and why he wanted to spend the rest of their lives together. He had secretly designed the ring – which had a snakeskin band & diamond that belonged to Rosanne’s grandpa. How cute! 

They spent all night drinking champagne, crying, ordering pizza (they never made it to the pizza party, so they had their own!), dancing, singing, calling friends and family, and celebrating! Sounded perfect!

For their wedding, Rosanne and Michael invited Around Town Entertainment to perform on their very special day. The wedding was held at the beautiful Greenpoint Loft in Brooklyn NY.  The day was perfect! The views were fantastic and guests enjoyed taking in the skyline at the outdoor ceremony area. 

As guests entered the building, a pianist from Around Town Entertainment played a unique version of “In My Life” The Beatles to the joy of many. The bride walked down the aisle to “Can’t Help Falling In Love” Elvis Presley. After the bride and groom exchanged vows, they walked off to their favorite song “Rather Be” Clean Bandit.

Next, guests moved up a floor for cocktails and mingling. The views there are even more spectacular as is the space. Five stories up in the air just off the East River, guests sat back and relaxed under the wood paneling and vaulted timber while listening to jazz music from Around Town Entertainment’s trio.

Following that was a reception in the Main Hall, featuring beautiful exposed brick and original woodwork perfect for an intimate atmosphere. The bride and groom made their grand entrance as the award-winning Around Town Band from Around Town Entertainment performed “Can’t Stop The Feeling” Justin Timberlake. The two had their first dance to “Fly Me To The Moon” Frank Sinatra as they glided on the original wood flooring, surrounded by high beam ceilings and open skylight windows. The mother and daughter then had their dance to “In My Daughter’s Eyes” Martina McBride. The mother and son had theirs while the wedding band played “Never Alone” Lady Antebellum. The evening continued with dinner and more dancing. The wedding band kept the party going as guests danced hard all night long as they sang a long to cover songs from Nsync, 98 Degrees, LFO, Kid Cudi, and many more! What an end to another successful night!

All the best to Rosanne and Michael!
