A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Jeremy & Rachael’s Rockin’ Wedding
Rabbit Rabbit!! I can’t believe it’s already December! That means lil’ ole’ Hi-Fi Weddings is almost ONE YEAR old! I’ll gush about you all again on the actual anniversary (first post was January 15th) but for now I can’t thank you enough for being so supportive and welcoming Hi-Fi among this wedding world!
Now here’s a super crafty wedding between two music lovers! Jeremy is a Senior Designer for Rare Designs. He is over the top creative and their wedding was no exception! He, along with the help of his artsy bride Rachael, designed the lighting for their reception. They wired numerous assorted lamps to dance to the beat of the music. Their center pieces were combustible trees wired with LED lights. This savy couple created a play list and hooked it up to the i-phone. They had prerecorded message for the first dance, the cake cutting, and exit. When they were ready for each, Jeremy just took the i-phone out and requested that the appropriate announcement play next. The announcements were PA style voice overs (think airport or emergency broadcast system) with their own signature tone.
The reception was held at Rare Design headquarters which was featured in Dwell Magazine. The building was an old warehouse that the creative team converted into a modern work space.
