Go Balloonie's did the magnificent balloons in greens and blues which looked great in Glen Oaks Country Club. Family and Friends enjoyed a fabulous buffet and they also enjoyed Dale and Thomas Popcorn in addition to a beautiful lavish sweet table. NO one went home hungry.


Happy Graduation Jimmy! Here with his mom and dad and Aunt Judy (far left) Jimmy danced his way through the evening with his mom and almost 300 loving family and friends. Truly a blessed young man, who has touched the lives of hundreds of people.



With a smile for all his guests Jimmy enjoyed the evening as much as his mom, dad and guests did. Lots of family pictures, eating, dancing and reminiscing made the event a hugh success.


An Angel Came To Earth
(Jimmy's Song) written by his mom Suzy Gavin

A spirit of love for all to share...A gift of healing for all who are in need ....
Kindness and concern in a gentle way.... Is given to all who come his way

His hands may seem weak, his step not so sure, his voice may not be heard to the human ear...He lives in a higher place where others cannot be....
As his heart is so pure that G-d can surely see

- Chorus -
That an angel came to earth... His smile so sweet...His eyes dancing with joy...
His heart and soul tell the sorry for all to know

Today we celebrate the gift of life that is you...
Our hearts join as one in gratitude... We sing and give thanks and praise to the lessons that you teach... Celebrate the gift of life that is you

- Chorus -
That an angel came to earth... His smile so sweet...His eyes dancing with joy...
His heart and soul tell the sorry for all to know...His eyes dancing with joy his heart and soul tell the story for all to know

Rondo String Quartet

Classic Elegance Defines Wedding

Elegance is the perfect word for weddings performed by Rondo String Quartet. They can play for both your ceremony and cocktail hour. "We wish more brides would recognize the importance of utilizing a qualified wedding coordinator such as Andrea Solomon. A coordinator’s years of experience helps your wedding to run smoothly. She can anticipate a problem and intercede before it ever becomes an issue. They also provide you and your family with a peace of mind on your special day. Your full attention can be focused on the sentiment of the ceremony not distracted by last minute concerns."
After the ceremony they change their style of music for the cocktail hour and play a mixture of nostalgic and contemporary pieces. From Cole Porter, Broadway to Coldplay, your guests are enjoying the variety. If you are in need of a string quartet for your wedding day I highly recommend Rondo String Quartet. Congratulations again to all brides and grooms just getting engaged . Let me, Andrea Solomon help you achieve a smooth and easy wedding planning experience!

Solomon's Helpful Hints and Tips

Planning an event can be very stressful and overwhelming. Every clients needs are different up to a point. When it comes to a party everyone sends out invitations.
Helpful Tip #1
You should ALWAYS put together a complete invitation ensemble with all your enclosures items, envelopes and any specialty cards such as direction cards or accommodation cards. Take this to your local post office and have it weighed and checked for size. Square and over sized invitations require extra postage AND long rectangle envelopes require more postage if printed vertical rather then horizontal. Something a lot of people do not know!
Helpful Tip #2
When making hotel reservations for your guests, you must sign a contract with the hotel to hold the rooms. The rooms are usually held 3 weeks prior to your event. Usually you are not held responsible for any unused rooms, but read your contract before you sign anything.
Helpful Tip #3
Alcohol. When you purchase alcohol for your party DO NOT buy large bottles such as gallon bottles. Purchase fifth's. Gallons are too heavy for the bartenders to pour,(they can lift and pour a bottle 400 or more times during an evening) slow down your bar service, and if you are having two or more bars, end up costing you a lot of money. Remember if you are having multiple bars you need multiple bottles. If your facility offers to do liquor service for your event, take them up on it. It will save you time and aggravation!
Helpful Tip #4
If you are having valet parking you will find you need to hire more people in the beginning because everyone comes at the same time....but as the evening goes on, staff can go home because people leave at different times.
