Honored!

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!

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

  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

Aves Photography = Awesome

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!

Team RRE Winner of both The Knot’s Best of Weddings 2013 and WeddingWire’s Bride’s Choice Award 2013!

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.

Another awesome thank you!

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.”

As Beautiful Inside as Out…

Once again, I am proud of the fact that our Colleyville Wedding DJTeam did an outstanding job on Crystal and Nate’s wedding!  By the way, Nate is a cool guy!  He flys for the Air Force and is as nice as Crystal..wait, is that possible?)  The ceremony and reception were at Piazza in the Village, across the street from our Colleyville Wedding Planning office.  The Piazza is an amazing venue, with incredible food, and the most attentive staff!  It always feels like home when we DJ there.  : )

The Team:
Venue: Piazza in the Village
Florals:  Ed Barrett, Signature Productions
Photographer: Stefani “Vaughan” Peterson, TRU Identity Photography & Designs
Colleyville Wedding Videographer:  Randy Ro Entertainment
MC/DJ:  Randy Ro Entertainment
Cake: Opulent Cakes

This was a busy night for us.  I was at Ashton Gardens, Bob at Old Red Museum,  and Mike did the ceremony and Fort Worth wedding reception DJ services at Fossil Creek Country Club.  Great night to be a Dallas Wedding DJ!

Thank you from Janet and Steve Yi

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!

Still more nice words from Katie & Jett

I had the honor of working with Katie and Jett on August 15th at Canyon Creek Country Club in Richardson. I cannot say how much I enjoy what I do without thinking of couples like Katie and Jett. Super couple, super wedding!

Castles

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!

Variations on Ringing of the Glasses


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.
