Embassy Suites Miramar Beach Wedding Venue

We’ve got a Miramar Beach Wedding Venue option for you – the Embassy Suites!

In our opinion, this is one of the area’s more underrated wedding properties. A few years ago, they did an amazing updated renovation to the property. However, because it’s a bit off (literally a block away) of highway 98, it’s easy to miss. Their event staff (Jillian and and Brandee) are easy going and committed to tailor your event to the vision you have in mind.

Here are some of the highlights

BEACH CEREMONIES…Interested in a beach ceremony? No problem! They have a gate entrance to the right of the property – easy to access and one of the best gulf views bar none. More importantly, it feels like a private beach just for you and your guests!

THE ATRIUM…We believe this is the crown jewel of the property. Not only can this location act as a rain back-up for your beach ceremony (or as a non-beach ceremony space), but it could be a perfect transition spot for a cocktail hour to give it a “3 location feel” all in one venue. The modern aesthetic is a refreshing take at a hotel property.

THE BALLROOM IS INTIMATE…One of the biggest errors couples can make is to pick a venue where the space is too large for the attendance number. This happens more than you know. The beauty of this property is that the ballroom can be adjusted with airwalls to fit your guest count in an intimate setting. Whether you guest count is 30 or 400, the Embassy Suites has you covered.

ON-SITE ROOMS TO GET READY…Need a spot to get ready or freshen up after the ceremony that is not your hotel room? The Embassy Suites has thought of that as well. They have 2 conference rooms that are outfitted with TVs (hello college football fans) so the wedding party can relax up to minutes before the formalities begin!

These are just some of the many features of the Embassy Suites Miramar Beach. Before deciding on your venue location, be sure to give this a look over. We know you will be pleasantly surprised! See our venue tour video below.

Sandestin Wedding Venues | Bayview Room and Terrace Venue Tour

We’ve been working at Sandestin Golf & Beach Resort since we opened up our doors in the panhandle back in 2006. In fact, the very first Sandestin wedding venue we performed in on property was at the Bayview Room and Terrace. It has held a special space in our heart ever since. Over the last month few months, they did a major renovation to the space. We are giving you a little sneak peak venue tour with those updates. I think you’ll be excited to see this refresh.

Of all the Sandestin Wedding Venues, this a fantastic option if you want a non-beachy location. That view of the Choctawhatchee Bay is unlike any other. It makes a perfect ceremony backdrop or cocktail hour location.

The ceremony locations are really endless. They do have beach options, lawn options and many more on Sandestin’s property if the Bay view isn’t your ideal look. As for the room itself, you can comfortably fit about 75-85 people. Have a larger attendance count? No problem! The lobby area gives you the ability to put up a temporary draped wall to use as your dining location, thereby saving the main room for dancing, formalities and a photo booth. Another bonus of being indoors for the reception is that you can go beyond the 10PM noise ordinance that most outdoors properties have to abide by within the area. In the summer, when it takes longer for the sun to go down, this is a huge advantage.

We do recommend you and your guests stay on property at one of the condos or hotels. Getting in and out of Sandestin during season can take time with traffic (this goes for any venue on the Emerald Coast). By staying inside the Sandestin Beach and Golf Resort, you can easily get around the resort or you can take the free tram to multiple drop-off points.

Another bonus of this property is the close proximity to Baytowne Wharf. This gives you many rehearsal dinner and after-party options.
Be sure to reach out to them today for more information as this venue books out quickly.

WaterVue at Brooks Street Wedding | Venue Tour

Ever consider a WaterVue at Brooks Street wedding? If not, you should! We’ve done some of the leg work for you. Recently, we had a chance to stop by and take some video of the property and then worked a wedding there the following weekend. Enjoy our quick venue tour.

This Fort Walton Beach venue is one of our favorites. It is very versatile for ceremonies and receptions. You have indoor and outdoor options.

In a state where rain is always hit and miss, this is a stress-reliever in and of itself. You have an instant back-up plan! Additionally, the multiple spaces within the venue can give your event different looks between ceremony, cocktail hour and reception. We’ve done it just about every way imaginable including a recent trend of ceremony inside, cocktail hour outside (which we do a flip inside) and then reception back inside. The venue is rare in that it can feel full with 80 guests or you can expand it to accommodate up to 250-300 people.

The view of the gulf is unobstructed and crystal clear 90% of the time. Though they do have a preferred vendor list, you can bring in just about any vendor you want, which makes working with all budget sizes ideal. Indoor tables and chairs are available at the venue. They do require you to bring in a coordinator, which is a good idea anyway to ensure that things are running smoothly.

For a non-beachy wedding, a WaterVue at Brooks Street wedding is worth looking at. The owner, Mary, is one of those rare folks who treats you as family from the moment she meets you. She is very accommodating and looks to make your wedding day as stress-free and special as she can. From a vendor perspective, she sets us all up to make each event successful! You can’t put a price on that.

Wedding DJ, Sheawna at Soundside at Hurlburt AFB

Wedding DJ, Sheawna, kicked off her 2018 wedding event schedule with a military wedding at Soundside at Hurlburt Air Force Base. One of our hallmarks is being early and soundchecking all gear and special formality dance tracks. So when our Florida GM, Shawn Frady, texted Sheawna at 1PM to find out what time she was planning on being there for a 4PM start time, she sent him this picture of her and the DJ tech, JiJuan, already there setting up. Man, do we have a great team.

Venue: Soundside, Hurlburt Air Force Base, FL
Headliner DJ/MC: DJ Sheawna
Photographer: Lindsey Morgan Photography
Baker: Just Think Cake

The ceremony was held outside of the venue under a tree with a beautiful view of the sound. The bride was British and she had guests fly in from Europe to attend their celebration. She wore a beaded gown and the bridesmaids were in maroon dresses. The groom was local to the area and many of the guests were from the local church he attends.

The accent colors inside the reception room were maroon, rose gold and pearl. This was a dry wedding, which is a rarity for us. What I love about our team of DJs is that they are trained for all sorts of situations (including a dry wedding). It didn’t take long before Sheawna had them on the floor and a good party was had by all. As you can imagine, the songs of the night were interactive line dances – “The Wobble” and “Cha Cha Slide”.

Reception Formality Music

First Dance: “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran
Father/Daughter Dance: “Daddy” by Abby Anderson
Mother/Son Dance: “Simple Man” by Shinedown

Here’s a quick video of Sheawna rocking the dance floor.

B-Boy Productions Best Winter 2018 Spotify Playlist

For some around the country, it’s freezing (hello Northeast!). For others, it’s 85 degrees (I’m envious of you SoCal). Either way, you need fresh music for the New Year, right? Well, we got you covered. Our DJs have started our Best Winter 2018 Spotify Playlist with some fantastic tracks. We’ve got a few throwbacks with tunes from Trick Daddy and Chris Brown on the list. One of the hottest songs out, “Finesse”, made the list. This remix with Cardi B will be in rotation at parties for a while. Surprising absent from our playlist is any of the new Justin Timberlake album cuts. Is that a sign? I guess time will tell. A hip hop track that is climbing up the charts right now is “Stir Fry” by Migos – trust me, you will know this cut soon if you don’t already. The Zhu Remix of “Feel It Still” is great atmosphere version for certain events. Keep yourself in the know by subscribing to our Spotify channel or just stream it here.

The Henderson Wedding in Destin FL With DJ Brian B

A throwback to this Henderson Wedding in Destin FL from this past Fall (the professional images recently came in). This was my (Brian B) 2nd wedding of 3 this particular weekend so I was definitely in my wedding groove. To be honest, when the bride-to-be called us inquiring on our services, she was wanting a band but felt for the space, a DJ was a better fit. I could hear the disappointment in her voice but I told her not to worry. I would make sure it was all good from the music side. The Henderson in Destin, FL provided the perfect backdrop for a fantastic celebration of love. It wasn’t quite October yet so the humidity was still pretty intense. But you know you have a great crowd when everything is done outside and they partied anyway. That was the case with Kindra and Jason’s Henderson Wedding in Destin FL.

Venue: The Henderson, Destin, FL
Wedding Planner: Sherri Kuhn, Destin To Wed
Baker: The Cake Destination
Designer/Florist: Bella Flora 30A
Headliner DJ/MC: DJ Brian B
Officiant: Casey Goben (family friend)
Photography/Videography: Michael K Photography

The ceremony was held on the Western Lawn and it was a stunning setting with the backdrop of the Henderson Park Inn on one side and the gulf on the other.

They moved to the Eastern Lawn for cocktail hours where we brought out all of our Lawn Games. They were a total hit!

Guests were then transitioned to the Grand Lawn for the rest of the evening.

Reception Formality Music

First Dance: “Feet Don’t Touch The Ground” by Stony Larue
Father/Daughter Dance: “Forever Young” by Rod Stewart
Mother/Son Dance: “The Baby” by Blake Shelton

Kindra and Jason gave me total autonomy with the dinner music. When I get that type of leeway, it’s game on to see who how quickly I can get them on to the dance floor. Let’s just say it was hard to tell where dinner began and when we transitioned to open dancing. We had a pretty packed floor the entire night.

Thanks for allowing me to share such a special celebration with you Kindra and Jason!

Summer 2017 HI-FI[VE] Mix | DJ Shawn Frady

One of things we pride ourselves on at B-Boy Productions is having some of the most talented music mixers (aka DJs) in the area bar none. Not only is programming important but the way songs are segued in and out are just as vital. From time to time, our DJs will put together a mix to showcase their skills. This Summer 2017 HI-FI(VE) Mix by DJ Shawn Frady is our latest entry. While this mix doesn’t represent what he’d play at a specific event, what you will get from it, beyond a fantastic jam packed 30 minute musical journey of a wide range of genres, is the thought put behind the track selection. Every song has a purpose with where it is placed and how it is layered in and out. Don’t be surprised if you find yourself dancing to it wherever you’re listening. This is a live mix – meaning that this wasn’t constructed in a studio. Shawn was behind the decks and mixing this live. He then added some voice drops in post production. This is important because anybody can sit behind a computer desk and string a few songs together. At an event, you don’t have that luxury. The DJ has to be able to mix live.
