    Katrina and Aatef, a fantastic couple who have been sweethearts since school, celebrated their wedding with a cocktail reception amongst 120 invited guests in the Green Room at Quay Restaurant, which is located in the Overseas Passenger Terminal in The Rocks, Sydney. Quay is one of Australia’s most respected Restaurants. Perched above Sydney Harbour, Quay is a magnificent setting and has a true sense of occasion. Day or night the views from the Restaurant – the Sydney Harbour Bridge to the left and the Opera House to the right are spectacular.


    Whilst rain threatened to ruin their day early on, the skies cleared resulting in a beautiful Sydney autumn day allowing the ceremony to proceed as scheduled in the Royal Botanical Gardens. It was a relaxed elegant reception with some very touching moments – some of these moments and the love these two beautiful people share for each other is clearly evident in the photographs and video.











    During the speeches, guests were treated to Aatef’s father playing a lovely musical piece on Spanish guitar. Following the cake cutting it was time for dancing. Friends and family took to the dance floor creating a great atmosphere – the dancing was interspersed with alternating sets of Arabic Music generating a whole lot of communal/group dancing.



    There was a very emotional moment during the father/daughter dance when Katrina’s Dad, whom unfortunately had suffered a mishap earlier in the evening causing a severe injury to his knee and subsequently was experiencing pain and having difficulty standing let alone walking or dancing, yet nothing – absolutely nothing, was going to stop him from dancing with his beloved Katrina.

    It certainly was a beautiful evening in a beautiful location but most importantly, Katrina and Aatef are such a beautiful couple so deeply in love with each other that it was an absolute joy to have been given the privilege to be a part of their wedding day.

    ABIA Press Release

    The quest for the perfect wedding supplier is an activity practised each year by over 110,000 Australian brides. On Tuesday the 9th of December, the NSW wedding industry congregated at the WaterView Convention Centre to honour the best of these suppliers at the 12th NSW Annual Bridal Industry Awards – the ABIA’s.

    The opening address was given by the Chairman of the Australian Bridal Industry Academy Mr John O’Meara, who congratulated the Finalists on their contribution to the delivery of a bride’s perfect day. Mr. O’Meara said that the ABIA Finalists should be extremely proud of their achievement, considering that it requires an average 16 individual wedding business’s to communicate, cooperate and coordinate in designing the dream of the bride’s perfect day.

    Over 1,700 past Brides and Grooms cast their votes for 1,550 NSW wedding suppliers across 34 wedding categories, culminating in 353 Finalists. Mr. O’ Meara went on to say that the quality of products and services provided by the Finalist continued to excel with the majority of Finalists achieving an industry rating in excess of 97%.

    Mr. O’Meara said that the wedding industry is predominately serviced by small business who are ideally suited to the provision of a ‘one on one’ personal service and have the experience and expertise to understand the individual needs of each of their brides. It was this experience and expertise which culminated in their nomination as Finalists and Winners of an ABIA Award for wedding excellence.

    The Annual Bridal Industry Awards is administered by the Australian Bridal Industry Academy, a national organization which has, over the past 12 years, monitored the performance of over 30,000 wedding suppliers who have had the quality of their product, quality of service, value for money and attitude of staff rated by over 50,000 past brides.

    End of Press Release

    DJ:Plus! Mobile Disco Entertainment was once again very proud and honoured to be a finalist in these awards. Given that all the other three finalists are multi-operators and can potentially perform at more events in one weekend than I am able to in a whole year, the fact that I was once again a finalist was very pleasing indeed as it independently validates the high level of service provided and the care taken with each couple’s special day.

    Wedding Ceremony & Reception | 6 December 2008 | Gabrielle & Sultan | Panorama House, Bulli Tops

    Gabrielle and Sultan flew in from Saudi Arabia the day before the Ceremony and Lunch time Celebration for 60 guests held at Panorama House, Bulli Tops which overlooks the entire south coast. Gabrielle and Sultan live and work in Saudi Arabia but wished to celebrate this special time with Gabrielle’s family and friends in Australia. Unfortunately, due to distance, none of Sultan’s family were able to attend, however we could certainly feel their presence amongst us.




    Following a lovely ceremony, on what turned out to be an absolutely beautiful warm day, guests adjourned to the function room for canapes and refreshments. This was followed by a lovely meal overlooking the magnificent view. After the entree there were two lovely speeches – the first from Gabrielle’s dad, John who detailed the Gabrielle and Sultan love story and the other from Gabrielle’s sister Letitia who wrote a very lovely poem/verse about Gabrielle’s life – it was amusing, sentimental, factual and very well put together – a true highlight of the day!






    With the completion of the meal Gabrielle and Sultan hit the dance floor – in no time at all a large majority of the guests had joined them and were helping create wonderful memories. Gabrielle had wanted a fun/party/reunion type of atmosphere – this was easily achieved and everybody had a really enjoyable time. Another wonderful couple, I really have one of the best jobs in the world, I get to meet so many fantastic couples on one of the most significant days in their lives and feel very privileged to be able to contribute to it.
