Sharon and Bill started small with their plans but as they lived with the idea the scope broadened and it became a very grand night indeed. For their very special celebration I supplied
sparkling black LED dance floor
black twinkle backdrop
starlight DJ booth
uplit totems
mood lighting
party props
There was a wide spread of ages for this event and it reflected in the music mix, which was very broad indeed; playing from Motown right up to the current charts - see the full playlist below. The party props went down well, lifting the atmosphere even further - not just inflatables but also hats, masks, wigs, medallions etc
