Jeff and Kathy’s Simple & Awesome DIY Wedding
Saturday February 18th, 2012 Jeff and Kathy Heitkamp and 100 of their closest friends and family gathered at the beautiful Old 77 Bar and Grille for a night of singing and dancing. It was a low key affair with relaxed dress codes (bride in a white sun dress and the groom in khaki cargo shorts, a hawaiian shirt, and flip flops) that everyone enjoyed. The bride and groom prepared some snacks for the guests and the brides youngest daughter prepared a slideshow with clips from Jeff and Kathy’s destination wedding two weeks earlier in Jamaica!
I (Chris) have known the bride and groom for approx 7 years when they first sang with us at a local karaoke show. Since then they have showed up to several of our events and we’ve thoroughly enjoyed getting to know them over the last few years. Throughout the night, many karaoke singers and many dancers were participating busting a move or flexing their golden pipes, and as the dust settled at the end of the night… A great time was had by all!
Jeff and Kathy, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your celebration. The greatest honor we have as entertainers is when acquantances become your friends and plan their wedding around your schedules. I couldn’t be more honored to have been a part of your day, and a friend in your lives. Thank you and may your lives together be long and prosperous!

Chris, We can not thank you enough for the evening you provided. You made all the guests feel at ease. We appreciate the time you took with each table and group of family and friends.
I realize we had some unusual requests, and we greatly appreciate that you took all of our suggestions and song choices and used them, you provided exactly the party atmosphere that we hoped for.
We have known you for several years and knew that we could trust you or one of your team members to provide the entertainment as requested. Not many people want a wedding party rather than a formal wedding reception and you didn’t even hesitate when we told you we just wanted a party for our family and friends. Thank you for being a big part of our celebration.
We look forward to seeing you down the street or at a future event!!
Kathy and Jeff
