WHITNEY & BANKS | Layered Entertainment for Pure Hype

FATPOCKET

"I've seen my future, I'm getting f*%ked up on that dance floor" - anonymous groomsman at ~3:30pm

Whitney & Banks threw one of the absolute best parties we’ve ever been a part of. They literally redefined what we consider “hype” and have had the band reminiscing ever since. A few choice highlights:

Singing along with all you’ve got? Check.

Whatever the heck was happening here? Check.

Three steps for legendary wedding success:

Hire a top tier vendor team of pros that are used to executing together. Fully listed below but with Kristin Ashley Events, Shannon Duggan Photography and all our friends at Bellerive Country Club, there was no question about everything pulling together beautifully.
Jazz trio outdoors for cocktails
Progressive moments of impact including:

Guests entered the ballroom to our 11-piece band configuration
Fireworks outdoors, which can often make it a struggle to get guests inside but…
…successfully brought guests back indoors with a second line horn parade while the band rocked “Crazy in Love”
Disco/mirror dancers to add additional hype
Horn parade and coldspark showers to “send off” down to the DJ’ed afterparty

Layered entertainment with a bit of intention goes a long way in setting a stage for an absolute “rager” of a party. We’re always down to brainstorm ways to keep the hits coming all night long.
