We are fortunate to be a part of a group that consists of 30+ great and top of their game entertainment companies. And...we get called in to assist and collab when needed. This was the case for Dona and Shaheen's wedding. When Santa Barbara DJ Brian met with the couple and they mentioned they wanted a RAVE AFTER CAKE, he knew this wedding was going to go off and could not wait to start planning with them. This Santa Barbara Wedding was LIT! (as the kids say) Seriously literally LIT though; With glowing batons in everyone's hands!
It started with a surprise Grand Entrance with an INCREDIBLE traditional Lebanese ZAFFE. Guests were floored and loving every minute of it.
