Trent and Shallen’s bold black and red wedding in Naples, Florida was not an occasion to miss! This wedding’s cool decor and fun-loving guests made it a night to remember. To keep the party rollin’ at their reception, the bride and groom enlisted the help of the John Parker Band!

These crisp and clear photographs of the big day were captured by Joe Bricknu at Studio 41!

The bride and groom were wed on a lovely afternoon in a traditional ceremony at the lovely First Congregational Church of Naples.

After grabbing a limo ride over to the reception at the Lodge at the Quarry, the newlyweds joined their guests in the golf club’s main ballroom. Thanks to event manager Brittney Harryman, the room looked absolutely brillant! The red and black color scheme really created a dramatic look to the room. Red roses spread across the cake table and brimming from the table centerpieces helped add to the reception’s romantic, yet unique, look.

Reception Soundtrack

Bride & Groom Dance: I’m Yours – Jason Mraz
Father/Bride Dance: My Girl – The Temptations
Other Songs: Cheeseburger in Paradise – Jimmy Buffett

“John Parker was awesome! He made the wedding spectacular! They had everyone on the dance floor all evening. Friends were so impressed they were wanting him for other events. Can’t thank them enough for making it a truly grand event.”
– Bride Shallen –

The bride and groom wanted their reception to be a fun-filled event and the experienced wedding band that they hired for the task delivered exactly that! Guests and family filled the dance floor all night long!

Valerie and Kurt’s wedding was at the magnificent and unforgettable Gulf-front Marco Beach Ocean Resort.

John, of The John Parker Band, says that “Corrin from Marco Beach, and planner Kehrin Hassan from Jet Set Wed were so easy to work with” and that “the resort was among the best on the West Coast of Florida!”

Corrin and Kehrin coordinated this laid-out wedding, which ironically John had the pleasure of being a part of due in part to his popularity on the Jersey Shore, AND South Florida – funny enough – as Valerie’s father is a senator in New Jersey.

Ashley Brockinton Photography was kind enough to share these awesome photos – thanks Ashley!

The John Parker Band would love to be a part of YOUR big day too– no matter where your wedding may be! Contact us and tell us more about your dreams!
