THE DIRECTORS SHOWBAND: Lloyd and Jenn

Lloyd and Jenn were wed at the beautiful Chateau Vaudreuil.
Blessed with a beautiful May evening, the couple, with the help of wedding planner Bunny Adler, planned out their evening in style.

Stunning candlelit tables were the focal point and a warm atmosphere filled the room.

Lloyd and Jenn were in wedded bliss as they stood for the first time as husband and wife.

The Directors Showband performed the hora and entertained the crowd till the wee hours of the morning. 

Lloyd and Jenn basked in the glory of their celebration.

The Directors would like to thank Lloyd, Jenn and Bunny for a most memorable evening.

Sincerely,

The Directors Showband

THE DIRECTORS SHOWBAND: Fairytales do come true

Tilda and Elmo's story is a real life tale of "love at first sight".
From across the dance floor their eyes met.
She saw his green eyes and knew, right then and there, with that inexplicable feeling, that this man would be the one she would spend the rest of her life with.
Sure enough, four years later they were wed.


Tilda and Elmo were married at Plaza Volare/Crowne Plaza on Cote de Liesse, on September 12, 2009.


The Directors Showband were the chosen entertainment for the evening and stopped at nothing to keep the dance floor exploding and the crowd engaged with their full variety repertoire and onstage antics.

Special moments were had throughout the night and The Directors own photographer was right in there to catch them as they unfolded..

The second opening dance: Typically called "The confetti dance".

And now for another special presentation of "Why'd they do that?"

Why do couples, mostly of Italian origin throw confetti or in this case cover the newlyweds in streamers?
The whole tradition of throwing confetti can be traced back to pagan times, when newlyweds had grain thrown over them in the hope their marriage would be as fruitful as the seeds. It’s also a way of showing the couple that you want to ‘shower’ them with blessings in their new life together.
-------------------------------------------

Back at the party, Tilda had a sentimental moment with her father.

Elmo followed with his mother....

The bouquet was thrown...

Elmo entertained guests and family with a dance of his own for the garter search...

The night continued on until the wee hours of the morning and everyone left feeling plentiful and full of love for the lucky couple.

The Directors Showband would like to wish Tilda and Elmo "Auguri !". You are a truly blessed to have found each other and we wish you only the best of luck , happiness and health that you deserve.
-----------------------------------------------------

A special mention goes out to the staff and management at The Plaza Volare
who truly outdid themselves and have a flawless reputation of abundance and professionalism.
There was no stone unturned here.

Another special mention to Pacifica .
Always a pleasure working with you.

Sincerely,

The Directors Showband
